Open Head of the Class

[Max Goose]

Max had thought long about what to wear to the Halloween feast this year. He had won the scariest costume category last year and so was keen to win that category again. And with his headless costume, he was confident that he had a shot at winning. It was a little complicated but he was wearing a harness underneath his black robe that held up the severed neck, making it look as if he was holding onto his own beheaded head. In truth, the harness and the severed neck only added a couple more inches to his height, which made it possible for the illusion to work and for Max to stand and walk around normally. Winning the scariest costume contest wasn't the only reason why he had come down from the Gryffindor tower though. When he thought that no one was looking at the snack table, the Gryffindor grabbed two handfuls of candy and put them into the pockets underneath his black robe. There was no way he was going to miss out on all the candy, and with no parent around to scold him, he was going to take as much as his pockets could carry.

 

[Riley Fisher]

Riley was dressed as one of the creepy twins from the shining. It wasn't like she had put a lot of effort into making her her costume, but she was sure it was enough to blend in with the group. Her camera loosely on a Halloween strap hung on her neck. She had taken her camera with her so she could snap some pictures of the various costumes that could be used for the Monthly. Riley had plenty of ideas and was excited for the upcoming edition. She stumbled into the Great Hall and walked over to the snack table. Where she spotted a costume that was detailed and very creepy. ''Holy! Your costume is wicked cool.'' Riley uttered excitingly. ''Do you mind if I take a picture of you?'' Riley asked the boy whom she had reconized to be a Gryffindor.

 

[Max Goose]

Max was pocketing one last handful of candy when he noticed someone approaching the snack table. He turned around with a bright and innocent smile when one of the new first-years complimented him on his costume. ''Thank you!'' he said. He couldn't tell who or what she was dressed as, she looked like any ordinary person would, but knew that saying nothing was probably rude. ''So do you?'' he added. ''And of course you can.'' He quickly dropped his head a couple of inches for extra spook effect, posing for her with a smile.

 

[Aaliyah Chun]

Aaliyah never attended these festivities before. Not like this, though. She would be there on the sides, dressed decently for the event but not too much to draw attention. She would only be there to write something that she could possibly use for the HM. Not tonight. She ditched her notepad and pen, instead putting on a pale pink Victorian-style gown. She headed inside the hall, making a beeline for the snack table. She picked a selection when she spotted a headless or what seemed to be, pocketing candies. She chuckled, taking a small handful of her own before approaching the small group. "I saw that.", she playfully whispered behind him and subtly passed the candies to him. @Max Goose
