[Lennon Cohen-Knight]

Things about this year felt a little different for Lennon and he wasn't sure why. He felt lighter, happier some how, like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He wasn't sure why that was, he just felt like he stopped worrying so much about what people thought of him. He'd always felt on edge, afraid to upset someone or get into an altercation with them over quidditch, but now he couldn't care less. It made him a lot happier truthfully and he was able to enjoy things more. This year he'd decided to put more of an effort into his costume and was decked out in gladiator gear, complete with a sword and shield as props. He was doing his best not to hit anyone with them though his sword was banging against his leg painfully at times. Lennon decided to stop at the snacks table to grab a cup of pumpkin juice. He was wondering if he should enter the haunted house or not.

Sofia was dressed up as Marilyn Monroe for Halloween and went by herself for the first time. She felt alone still at hogwarts and as she grew older she started to realize what kind of effects her mothers death had on her. She didn't want to end up alone after all, but she was afraid of getting to close to people. When Sofia entered the Great Hall she noticed lots of students and walked pass them to the drink and snack table. She didn't exactly knew what she wanted but to have someone to talk to was not bad. It was only talking right, and if it was a boy even better. Than she saw a older boy standing dressed up as a gladiator. It was a costume that could be worn by Gabriel she thought. She hadn't saw him yet but he would be there she knew, with Marcos for sure. '' Hi there, cool costume you have.'' the Swedish blonde said with a smile.

Lennon was sipping his juice when he heard someone talking to him and turned to see who it was. He was rather surprised to receive such a compliment but he smiled as he said, "Thank you!" He looked at the girl's costume as well and thought she looked really nice. It was always so easy yet interesting to see how girls could wear a dress and pull it off as a costume as long as they styled their hair and makeup a certain way. It was a sort of magic he could never learn but was impressed by all the same. "You look very nice," he replied to her with a smile, even if he was not exactly sure what she was. He had an idea of what she could be but he didn't want to guess incorrectly. Even so, she could pull off the look. Feeling more confident he put his cup of juice down and stuck his hand out for her to shake it. "I'm Lennon, nice to meet you."

The blonde thought she had seen his face before. And ofcourse that was possible he also went to this school. She couldn't remember where she had saw him though. She smiled when he thanked her for the compliment. She saw him looking at hers and the blonde didn't knew if everyone knew who she was. Marilyn Monroe was a muggle thing but her father always said how charming she was and in some way elegent. And the blonde wanted to be like that, so she had talked with her dad about this Marlilyn and he could show some pictures to her. When she got a compliment in return the blonde smiled, she could use this. It was kind of him and he seemed like a very sweet boy to her.'' Thanks! I don't think everyone know as who I am dressed, but you can guess if you want?'' the blonde said to the older boy. You couldn't see who was and wasn't muggleborn and the blonde had nothing against them. But she was sure the muggleborns could know of Marilyn Monroe, because it seems that every dad had a crush on the blonde woman with the white dress. Suddenly the boy started to introduce himself and his name was Lennon. She had heard of his name, he was from the Hogwarts Monthly she thought. '' I'm Sofia, and it is a pleasure to meet you.'' The blonde started off and took his hand to shake it. It was lovely to meet people. '' You are from the Hogwarts Monthly right? I always like to read them.'' the blonde remembered when her brother was inside of one. It was in a top ten list of Notable New Firsties and the blonde had to laugh about it but still the girl who wrote it didn't liked him much it seemed.

Lennon chuckled a bit when she pointed out that not everyone would recognize her costume since that had definitely been on his mind so he probably looked more clueless than he thought. He smiled and nodded his head when she said he could guess and then thought it over for a second before replying. "I'm going to guess Marilyn Monroe?" he said hopefully. He hoped he wasn't wrong or would at least take it as a compliment seeing as the woman was supposed to be iconic of beauty. He smiled when she shook her hand and introduced herself, and then grinned widely when she recognized him from the Hogwarts Monthly. "Yes, that's me!" he said happily, proud to be recognized by his work. "Thank you for reading them," he said appreciatively. "A lot of people don't, but it's alright," he shrugged. Before he'd become the editor of the paper Lennon was already known for protesting Quidditch matches and tryouts around the school so people weren't keen to want to read anything he ran because it was usually laced with anti-Quidditch sentiments. But the sport wasn't the only thing in the paper, thankfully, so there were lots of other things to read about so he was happy this girl did read it. "Who knows, maybe you'll end up in the next issue," he said with a wink, feeling bold.
