A pillow hits my face. No, I'm serious, someone threw a pillow at my face. There I was, having a nice dream about flying on the back of a dragon when a big, fluffy, not to mention extremely heavy pillow hits my face.

"Wake up!" A familiar voice sounded,

"What the- Rose!" Albus screamed from his bed, which was across the room from mine, I heard grumbles coming from the other two beds in the room, occupied by Parker and Sean, supposedly woken up by the loud alarm clock also known as Rose.

"Wake up sleepyhead!" She exclaimed, opening up the curtains, letting in the blinding sunlight and whipped off both Albus and my sheets, "It's Halloween!"

I groaned, my hands covering my eyes, letting it adjust to the light. I felt cold without my sheets to cover me, colder than normal. I looked up to see a blushing Rose standing in front of me, her face as red as a carrot, looking, well, not my eyes, but lower, at my chest. That's when I realized I wasn't wearing a shirt. My eyes widened, grabbing my blanket and covering myself, feeling a blush crept onto my face. What was she looking for? Did she like the view- shut up mind! I shook my head, attempting to keep the disturbing thoughts out.

I looked back at her, still staring, and I can't help the edge of my lip turn up into a smirk,

"What, do you like the view?" I said smugly, she snatched the pillow back and began hitting me repeatedly with it. Feathers flying up into the air as I yelped, "Hey! Stop it!"

She grinned, "Oh come on, you deserved that. Erm, well, I let you guys change," Rose said awkwardly, "Put on something warm, and you," she pointed at me, "Put a bloody shirt on! Meet me downstairs when you're finished," And with that, she hurried out of the room, down the stairs, presumably waiting in the Slytherin common room- wait what? Slytherin common room? How did she get into the Slytherin common room? I'll have to ask her later, I thought hurriedly as I pulled a red, wool sweater over my head and slipped on a pair of dark blue jeans.

"You ready?" I asked Albus, who was still in his blue and yellow pyjamas and obviously not ready,

"Yeah," He mumbled, still half asleep,

I raised an eyebrow, "Levicorpus!" I shouted, raising my wand,

Albus yelped as he was dangled up in the air upside down, "Put me down!" He screeched,

Chuckling, I said, "Well, at least that woke you up, Liberacorpus!" I snickered as Albus dropped with a thud to the ground.

"Ow!"

"Come on," I pulled him back up to his feet, "We don't want to keep Rose waiting," I headed towards the door,

"You mean you don't want to keep her waiting!" Albus said, "Because you love h-"

But before he can finish that sentence I whipped out my wand once more from my pants pocket, "Silencio!"

Albus instantly dropped quiet.

I grinned, "You know what, I think I like mute Albus much better than talking Albus,"

"How did you get in the Slytherin common room," I asked Rose as we started towards the Great Hall,

"I used my cunning and persuasive speech and charming personality to get Duke Elliot to let me in," Duke Elliot was the portrait hanging on the door of the common room, who supposed to be keeping non-Slytherins out. He is obviously not doing that well on that part.

"No seriously, how did you get in," I said in a deadpan voice.

She laughed, "Do you have no faith in me?" Albus and I both gave her a look and she sighed, "I told him that I will put in a good word for him to the Fat Lady." She lowered her voice, "Between you and me, I think he likes her."

"Well next time at least warn us before you come running into our rooms and hit our faces with our pillows!" He said, specifically indent the 'our'.

"We'll see about that," She said slyly, "Now come on, we don't want to be late for breakfast!" She grabbed both our hands and pulled us in the direction of the Great Hall.

~Rose~

I love Halloween, almost as much as I love Christmas, the feast, the stuffing our faces with candy until we're sick, and of course, playing tricks on my friends when they least expect it. I sighed as I recalled my first couple of Halloweens in the muggle world, they called it 'Trick or Treating'. With basically means to go up to a stranger's house and ask for candy and threaten to trick them if they don't. Yeah, I didn't quite get it either but hey, at least you get free candy.

"So what are we going to do today?" Albus asked after classes,

"What do you mean?" Scorpius said,

"I mean, there are still hours until the Feast what are we going to do until then?"

I shrugged, "I guess we could go wish Sir Nicholas a happy deathday? Or maybe-"

"Gee-hee, look at the corridors so neat and so clean, oh, it won't stay like this, for this Halloween," A high-pitched, squeaky voice sounded through the hallways. Peeves.

"Oh no," Scorpius and Albus said simultaneously,

"Let's go see what he'd done," I sighed, "Afterall, we are prefects,"

"Yeah, I'm not going," Albus said defensively, "I'm not a prefect so... Bye! Ciao! Bonjour!"

"Bonjour means hello, not goodbye you doof!" I shouted at him as he scrambled away, I turned back to Scorpius, "I guess it's just you and me huh,"

He smirked, "Wish us good luck," As we got closer to Peeve's 'crime scene', the sound of his giggles got louder, "I wish we could give him detention," Scorpius grumbled under his breath,

I smiled, "Then we can give him detention twenty-four hours each day every day so he would have any time to pull any of his pranks,"

We continued towards the noises until we stopped in front of an abandoned old classroom. Scorpius raised an eyebrow, confused while I just shrugged. Opening the door, we both walked in. SPLAT! And I felt something mushy fall onto my head and clothes.

"What the-" Scorpius began, then stopped. Gagging and spluttering, he said, "Ew, it got in my mouth. That stuff got in my mouth!"

I wiped away the gooey substance away from my eyes, opening them, I examined the goop. It was squishy, wet, and dripping with some kind of liquid. I frowned, closer up, it looks orange with seeds all over it, in fact, it kind of looks like-

"You don't think it's poisonous is it?" Scorpius asked nervously, his eyes still closed, "Dang it! No, I don't want to die like this! I'm too young and pretty to die! And what am I supposed to say when I turn into a ghost! That something mushy and sticky and not to mention smelly fell on me and I died? Pathetic!"

"Relax scaredy-cat," I said amused, "It's just pumpkin guts, seriously! just open your eyes!"

Slowly, Scorpius opened one eye slightly so he can at least see it. Then reopening both eyes, he sighed. He wrinkled his nose, "You smell awful,"

"Well so do you!" I pointed out,

"We should probably both take a bath,"

"Oh, most definitely so,"

* * *

"Wait, tell me what happened again," Albus said, stuffing a large piece of chocolate fudge in his mouth,

I sighed, looking at the angry Slytherins around me, seeing that once again, I let them convince me to sit at the Slytherin table again, "Remind me again why did I let you guys talk me into sitting here?"

"Because we asked politely," Albus said and I snorted,

"More like you dragged me here against my own will,"

"Anyways, tell me what happened again,"

"As I've already said before, we opened the door and a whole load of pumpkin guts fell on us. It was just so, so," I shuddered, "Disgusting,"

"I can never look at pumpkins or pumpkin flavoured things the same again!" Scorpius exclaimed dramatically, examining his pumpkin pie. "But alas, I will still eat it, because it is delicious," He said loudly, taking a bit.

"What a second," Albus said, sniffing the air, "Do I smell raw pumpkin?"

I groaned, "As I said three times already, it's the pumpkin guts which fell on our heads,"

He grinned, "I know, I just like hearing you say it over and over again,"

I narrowed my eyes, "You little git!" I reached forwards, hands outstretched, attempting to strangle Albus, but Scorpius held me back. Pinning my hands down on the table, "Let. Me. Go!" I managed to say, struggling to get free, "I need to clobber that bastard!"

"I know," He said, pushing me back to my seat, "What I was going to say was," He smirked, with an evil glint in his eyes, he pounced on Albus, tackling him to the ground, "Me first!"
