“I can’t just give away my ideas.”

“Fine. Scary, Sexy, or Funny?”

“OK, but, my halloween costume is the best. So..”

“Oh, really? What’re you going as?”

“Remind me what the point of this game is again? Do we want to know who’s hooked up in a broom closet?”

“Yes. It’s all about getting people to spill their secrets!” Toby beamed as he took a swig of his drink.

“Okay... Okay. Never have I ever... Hooked up in a broom closet.”

Bottoms up.

“What’s this? It’s pretty strong”

“Anyone good at opening bottles? Last time I tried to open one I used my teeth and they chipped”

“Could you hand me those mint sprigs?”  Albus said, hovering over his work.  “I’m working on a Volubilis potion.  I think it’ll be great to have for Halloween, huh?”

“U-uh...” The Hufflepuff looked around, and smiled when his eyes found the ingredient in question. “Y-yeah! Here...” Toby tilted his head for a moment before his eyebrows pulled together. “That’s the one that changes voices, right?”

“And I’m an award winning quidditch captain. Who’s got the weight here?”

“But you’re not on the pitch, you’re in the forest... I wouldn’t have interrupted if you were. Because... you know... you’re allowed to be there?”

“I guess. But what are you doing out here?”

“Prefect duties. Someone has to check, and I drew the short straw.”

“Never heard of a prefect havin’ t’ lurk ‘round the forest before.”

“Someone needs to make sure there’s nobody out here...”

Which is exactly why I’m out here, too, Toby. Do you want to walk back together? Everything looks clear.
