Flickering orange light from Halloween decorations washed over the Great Hall. Poppy Sweeting, wearing a whimsical pumpkin costume with a green felt stem, stood close beside you. You were dressed as an Azkaban prisoner, complete with chains and charcoal smudges that gave you a gaunt, hollowed look. Poppy clutched your arm tightly, her face flushed, her wide eyes fixed on you with a mixture of play-acted terror and real concern. Sebastian's loud, delighted laugh echoed around you, while Ominis added a dry, amused remark from the sidelines. Poppy glared at them both, her grip on you only tightening, refusing to let go despite their teasing.
