October 31, 1997

As I strut down the corridors with Kasey I take in the fall smell and enjoy the scenery around us. There are floating pumpkins, school ghosts scaring first year students, which I find hilarious by the way, and different types of halloween decorations casted with spells.

"y/n!! come on, we have to hurry up and get to hogsmeade so we can get our costumes!" Kasey interrupts my peaceful trance. "Ugh why didn't we just get it earlier Kasey." complaining because I just wanted to stay in my dorm.

While Kasey is dragging me by my wrist to get me to hogsmeade I think about all of my options I may have for a costume. I could do a cat, but thats basic, An angel is also basic, a wizard? Okay..what am I thinking I already am one. Maybe a cop? That's so basic, But it's something.

Me and Kasey finally get to the halloween costume pop-up shop. As we enter there are some students browsing some of the costume options or the accessories and decorations. "Meet me back here in 20! Or find me when you're done. I think I know what I wanna be already." Kasey giggles. "Okay. I'll meet you back here in a bit!" I tell her.

Okay, Let's see...These costumes are wild. A sexy cop? Really? No this can't be my only option. As i'm strolling through the options, I really only have the option of, A sexy cop, A stupid princess costume, or a cowgirl costume.

I hate all of these options, Like I mean I utterly hate it. I'll just go with the cop, I don't want stupid comments with the cowgirl one. People are so immature. Why do all of these have to be sexy? Where's normal? I hate this.

Are those wizard costumes? Oh my gosh thats priceless! This shop must be making good money selling that. Due to all the stupid mudbloods who wish to be a pureblooded wizard.

As I'm walking to the cashier to pay for the costume, I see the different house robes hung up on hangers. Wait? are you serious? You can buy a different robe? That's stupid! "Kasey!" I shout, Seeing her in the distance grabbing her costume. "You think I can pass as a gryffindor?" I ask her, Grabbing the gryffindor house robe and putting it on. "Whatcha think?" I say, Posing. "Eeww! I can never see you as a gryffindork! Take that yucky shit off!" Kasey laughs, trying to get the robe off of me.

I hang the robe back up onto the hangers, "Come on, let's go pay for our costumes." I say, Kasey nodding and then proceedinng to follow me to the cash register.

"That will be 1 galleon please" The lady tells me. I hand her the galleon, grab my costume and tell her, "Happy halloween!". After I pay, I wait for Kasey.

After we both pay, We say goodbye to the cashier and leave. "What'd you get y/n? What're you gonna be?" She asks. "A cop," I tell her before she cuts me off. She looks at me in confusion then grabs my costume. "Yeah, A sexy cop! Damn y/n! can't wait." She jokes, and throws my costume back to me and I catch it.

"Yeah, I was gonna say that before you cut me off! I didn't have any other option okay?! I had the option of being a princess or a cowgirl and I don't want peoples stupid snarky comments! I hate halloween." I complain. "interesting y/n, very interesting." kasey laughs.

As we make our way back to the girls dormitory, We set our costumes on our bed and relax until we get ready for the slytherin halloween party. The only good thing about halloween.
