Open Scary People

[Crystal Holmgaard]

It was halloween and Crystal had never been to such an party or how they called it. She had put together some scary costume, at least she thought it was. Her eyes were scary for sure she figured. She made her way into the great hall and looked at the big room that was decorated. It seemed very impressive, but so was the group of people inside. The blonde walked further and tried to not bump into people, although the last times that let her have an conversation starting. But she knew that not everyone would act so nice if she would do so clumsy. She walked towards the drink and food table, and decided to take something to drink first. She felt alone inside the big group but hopefully she would spot someone familliar, so that she would not feel so watched and could relax a bit more.

 

[River Hopkins-Vance]

River had quite enjoyed her last Halloween feast. She had even won scariest costume, which was definitely a surprise. That was certainly hard to top as the young girl had to figure out what to go as this year. River had decided to go as the Grim Reaper. Her outfit was created with the help of her older sister Emmaline. River knew nothing about sewing. She was more of the writer type. However, her older sister was amazing at creating a great outfit. The Grim Reaper robes flowed as River entered into the Great Hall. Although she had seen some of these decorations last year, she could not but help to fall in love with this year as well. Hogwarts certainly knew how to go all out during these festivities.

River wondered around the Great Hall, weaving in and out of people. There was so much to do here. Instantly she headed to the snack table. She would need some energy before entering the tent full of scares that would make her both laugh and scream. Wasn't that the fun of Halloween? As River made her way over to the snack table she noticed a young girl with an amazing creepy costume. The eyes sucked her in. For a moment, River wondered how she did such a costume without magic or maybe she was more similar to River than she had imagined. River walked over to the girl who she had never seen before. "Heya" She said with a bright smile. She tucked a piece of pink hair behind her ear, hiding it in the hood of her costume. "I love your costume. It's seriously crazy" River smile encouragingly.

Crystal took an sip of her drink and tried to calm herself about all the people around her. But than she spotted an girl looking at her. Crystal didn't liked that, she felt insecure if people looked at her. What would they think would go inside of her mind, and mostly she thought negative. But the girl walked to her and greeted her which seemed friendly. And complimented her on her costume, although if crazy was good she didn't knew. '' Hello.'' She started greeting back. And than smiled shy. '' Is that good? Crazy?'' She than asked back shy as her cheeks turned a bit red.

River instantly realized that she may have said the wrong thing as the young girl's cheek blushed. The young Slytherin let out a little laugh, encouragingly. "Yes in this case crazy is definitely good." She answered, hoping that she put the younger girl at ease, just a little bit at least. "I just mean I love the costume. It's creepy." She explained. "In a good way of course. That's what Halloween is all about" She added quickly not wanting the other girl to think she was insulting her. River normally did not insult anyone that had done nothing wrong towards her. In general, she was rather kind, which as she knew quite well was not the most common Slytherin stereotype.

River reached toward the snack table, picking up a little pumpkin tart that looked delicious. She could not resist. The young girl took a small bit of the tart, trying not to mess up the makeup that was on her lips. River had attempted to draw lines on her lips that would look as if they were sown shut, however she knew the makeup would not make it through the night. There were way too many snacks, drinks, and of course bobbing for apples. All of those activities would ruin the appearance. She did not mind much though. The costume was just part of the fun of this night. "I'm River by the way" River said forgetting that she had not introduced herself. Her mother would be so disappointed in her first impression; and first impressions were everything.
