Yes! I know Molly will definitely be up for it, also Marly. We just need to think about what we’re gonna do exactly.

That sounds like a plan! I think we should do something the boys would do, only better and smarter, because let's face it we're are better and smarter than them. We could probably pull this off without getting caught by anyone!

Oh thank you Bathsheda, I always feel like a bit of a prat when I’m so upset about this, or like I ruin everyone else’s good time. I highly doubt it, those I suppose that that’s always a possibility. 

Well if I can be any help let me know, I don't mind helping you to celebrate your birthday. We could rope in some of the fellas to clear the tables in the Great Hall away, make a dance floor and create our own party. I doubt anyone would notice, they'd just believe it to be part of the festival. We'll have a grand old time!

Because today’s my birthday, and practically everyone is too busy dressing up and playing games to really care. I know that’s selfish but I can’t help it.

I don't think it's selfish at all, who doesn't like to feel special on their birthday? Are you sure your friends aren't planning a surprise party or something? Maybe they're just pretending not to care to throw you off the scent.

"Bad experience. Long story. Besides I would much rather have full-fledged sweetness on Halloween. Not fruit covered in something sweet." 

"That's a shame. But I don't usually eat the fruit, I just eat all the candy and throw about the fruit, much to my mum's disgust of course."

“You’re welcome! I haven’t. I think something was in my punch. So now I sing!”

"Something was in your punch? Are you sure you just don't want to sing everything you say? That would be quite fun, I don't mind it."

Well it’s lovely! I don’t think so, I don’t really like Halloween.

Thank you. You don't like Halloween? How can you not like a holiday where you get to dress up as anything or anyone you want? It's so exciting.

Someone please tell me this thing has more than just candy apples. 

"What's wrong with candy apples? I love them, reminds me of Halloween as a kid, my mum would make them for me."

Maybe! It looks really good, especially considering they didn’t give us much notice to get costumes prepared.

I hope so, I'd really like to win. I made the mask myself. Are you going to be dressing up, Molly?

He’s named after the drummer from The Beatles. I wouldn’t say he’s quite as orange as the fruit, so I suppose fire? Really, he’s very distinctive looking, due to his breed. That’s one of the reasons I’m so concerned.

I must admit my favourite Beatle is John, I love his hair. But I'm afraid I haven't seen your cat, I will keep an eye out for him though. Does he come to his name? Maybe you could set a food trap?

"I think you certainly have a wonderful chance at winning!" 

"Thank you, Miranda. My, you do have a lovely singing voice. Have you thought about trying out for the choir?"

I may be the brains, but I would never be able to pull off a prank. Not by myself anyway.

We could always get a group of us girls together and come up with something. Why should the boys have all the fun?

It’s too quiet around here. And the lack of pranks from the Marauders are making me nervous.

Maybe you could do something then? They aren't the only ones to pull pranks around here, right?

Has anyone seen an orange cat running around? He’s a Cornish Rex and he responds to Ringo.

Ringo? How cute! Now, is he orange like the fruit or like fire?
