Happy Halloween!

Hey, Happy Halloween!
Once again the feast was spectactular, and we managed to avoid any huge fiascoes (think "TROLL IN THE DUNGEON) apart from the pumpkin incident, but I'll get to that later.

Everyone got into the spirit of Halloween today, Professor McGonagall taught us how to turn snitches into bats, Flitwick said we ought to put our charms to good use and help decorate the castle, and Trelawny was even more morbid than usual.

The feast was amazing, those Elves really outdid themselves. Hermione's still going on about SPEW, but only half-heartedly nowadays. I think if a house Elf wants to work for nothing then it has every right to and paying them is an insult to their kind. Maybe she's seeing this as well.

Halloween is a bittersweet day for Harry, I mean, it's brilliant and all, but it's the same night he lost his parents, and the night he defeated You-Know-Who. I feel so sorry for him. Nobody should go through that. People think the fame is something he's so lucky to have, but it must be awful some times.

Ron, as always, was just stuffing his face with food.

Anyway, just before the end of the feast, Hagrid decides to surprise everyone. You know those pumpkins out the front of his patch that he's been enlarging? Well he made them into Jack-O-Lanterns so we could see them glowing from the Great Hall. I was wonderful... until his Pink-Umbrella spell went wrong and ended up with giant pumkins rampaging the castle. Oh what a night. Eventually they caught them and now the house Elves are cooking them up. Looks like pumpkin soup for a while, which I don't mind. :)

Happy Halloween everyone!
