“This was as good as it was gonna get,” Sebastian said as he motioned to his face. Dressing up had never been something that he enjoyed. But, he was trying to not draw attention to himself right now. And not dressing up would have made him stand out. So here he was a face covered in face paint. “Don’t really see the appeal of dressing up but I think I’d get more shit if I didn’t.”

Decked out in only his finest purple coat (his only purple coat), with a top hat and a bow tie to complete the Willy Wonka look, Fabian was having an all-around decent night. That is, until he noticed a certain Gryffindor, who - after several failed attempt to catch her eye - he determined did not want to see him. Fab didn’t even know she was out of the hospital wing, and it was weird that she wouldn’t say anything to him. He hadn’t drank much, as recent events didn’t exactly have him in a massive partying mood, but the alcohol he did drink gave him just enough boldness to catch Mary at a moment she wasn’t actively talking to anyone and pull her aside. If she was upset with him, he wanted to know why. 

Halloween has always been Celeste’s favourite holiday. And the party was always something she looked forward too. The excuse to dress up was also an added bonus. Though a couples costume was a new thing for her she found herself not minding it. And she had actually thought the idea was kinda cute. Not that she said that out loud. But just having something as a couple felt...nice. So she was probably in the best mood she’s been in since the year started. “Nice costume.” She said as she turned to the person beside her at the snacks table. “Isn’t Halloween great?”

Being at a party and not drinking was a weird experience for Sirius. But, he said he was gonna lay off alcohol for a while so he was gonna at least try. He can be fun without drinking...he was sure. “Hey, pass me a butterbeer.” He said as he reached the drink table and motioned towards the sadly non-alcoholic drink just outside his reach.

Tobias hadn’t actually decided he was coming to this party till the last minute. So, while he was a little proud of his costume, he knew it wasn’t the best. Still, he thought it was fairly easy to guess who he was considering he had managed to find everything in his own closet. And he was particularly proud the fake raven charmed on his shoulder. And he was actually having a good time. Granted he was already a little tipsy but still. “Nice to see everyone happy for a change.” He chuckled as he reached for another drink before turning to the person next to him. “What did you come as?”

Tobias felt like he had gone and came back to a completely different party. Looking around he saw people acting strange, and not just drunk strange. Like they had lost their minds strange. And, he was definitely too sober to deal with this. Not to mention his mind was still trying to process how he felt. So he decided to not stick around and see how all this would play out. Even though in a normal circumstance he would have been extremely amused to watch everyone. Right now though he just grabbed himself the nearest drink and turned to leave. Though when he did he bumped right into someone standing close to him.

Sirius had to admit that whoever had managed to prank this entire party could only be classified as a genius. And he was kinda jealous that he hadn’t thought about it. But, he could still sit back and watch in amusement. He wasn’t even annoyed that he had drunk one of the spiked drinks. When he realised that he had drunk Veritserum he wasn’t that fussed. It was easy enough to avoid people he didn’t want to talk too. Or, he thought so anyway. He did have a minor panic when he looked across the room and saw Regulus heading his way.
