Halloween Ball

Happy Halloween! This took me a while but I am so glad I got it up today, I don't think it's too bad either. I hope you enjoy the Halloween special.

"I have a special announcement to make." Dumbledore said in the Great Hall at breakfast. "Tonight to celebrate All Hallows' Eve we are going to hold a Halloween Ball. You will be required to wear fancy dress, this also includes the professors. All student years are invited and though you are not required to bring partners you can if you will. I will see you all at dinner."

Harry sighed as he got up after breakfast had finished. "Great, another ball. At least we don't have to bring dates this time." He muttered.
"Oi Potter!" Harry turned around to see his worst enemy of all time (no it's not Voldemort, what are you thinking).
Draco Malfoy.
"Potter!" The blonde ran up to Harry, running a hand through his slicked back hair.
'Oh, my, God! Could he look like any more of a git?' Harry thought.

"Want to make this ball a bit more interesting?"
"What are you proposing Malfoy?"
"If you can't get a date to the ball then you have to dress up as a Slytherin. If I can't get a date then I'll go as a Gryffindor." Malfoy said, a smug look on his face.
"Okay, but how do I know you'll actually comply?"
"I propose the unbreakable vow!" Malfoy spit on his hand offering it to Harry. With an unsure look on his face Harry did the same and they shook.
"Well that's that done with." Malfoy had a disgusted look on his face as he wiped his hand against his robes. Probably getting rid of Harry's half-blood germs. "I'll see you tonight."

"Professors!" Hermione exclaimed, running up to her (and everybody else's) three favourite professors.
"Yes Miss Granger?" Professor Kirkland addressed the teen.
"I was wondering who you're dressing up as."
"I'm going as a vampire!" Professor Popescu shouted, a grin on his face.
"I'm not quite sure." Professor Bondevik said. "What about you?"
"I might go as Alice. Lewis Carroll was one of my favourite authors as a child."
"Wise choice Miss Granger." Professor Kirkland smiled. "I'm not too fond of dressing up myself. In my opinion Halloween was much better a few hundred years ago."
"Do you know from experience Professor?" Hermione laughed.
"I guess you could say that." Professor Kirkland mumbled while Professor Popescu stifled a laugh.

"Ron!" Harry called when he entered the common room. "What are you going to the ball as?"
As soon as breakfast had finished Ron had dashed out of the Great Hall stating "I have the best costume idea ever!" Of course Hermione had scoffed at the thought of Ron ever having an idea (never mind a good one), but Harry was quite excited to see what his friend had come up with.
"It's a surprise."
"Fred, George!" Harry shouted over to the twins who were huddled in a corner. "Who are you going as?"
The twins held up two matching blue blazers that were in the middle of being transfigured. "We're going as Hikaru and Kaoru. Fred(?) replied.
"Who are? Ron joined the conversation with an annoyed look on his face. Then again this look was almost always present when he was talking to his twin brothers.
"The Hitachiin twins." George (maybe) added.
"Obviously." Both twins said, finishing the conversation.
Harry looked over to Ron mouthing 'Do you know who they are?' to his best friend.
Ron just replied with a shrug.

The three nations were in the Defence Against the Dark Arts office, England and Norway were discussing business stuff while Romania was busy putting together his vampire costume.
"Denmark told me that America and France were talking about giving you a surprise visit on Halloween." Norway spoke up after a few moments of silence.
"England looked up in shock. "What? Why?" He groaned. "Wait, it's Halloween today. When did Denmark tell you this?"
"A few weeks ago."
"And you didn't tell me sooner!" England shouted.
"I forgot." Norway shrugged.
"Besides, I've got things to worry about myself." Norway took a box from his desk drawer. "The other Nordics sent me this."

England took the box from Norway, on the lid was written 'Don't hold a grudge Norge. Let it go.' in a scrawl that England presumed belonged to Denmark.
Inside the box was a sparkly blue waistcoat, a light blue dress shirt and trousers. To top everything off a snowflake decorated cape lined the bottom of the box.
"Is this what I think it is?" England asked, holding up the costume.
Norway nodded; a slight look of discomfort on his usually composed face. "They want me to go as male Elsa."
The laugh slipped out of England's lips before he could help it. But at least Romania beat him to it.
"You're gonna be the Belle of the Ball Norge."
"Shut it!"
"Well it could be worse Norway." England broke up the fight that was destined to happen. "At least they didn't make you a dress."
"Would you shut up." Norway's eye twitched.
"Come on Norge. Let it go."

The time of the Ball had finally come, and as professors the nations were some of the first to enter the Great Hall. Romania ran into the Great Hall, cape flowing behind him. His grin showed more of his fangs then usual. Norway had immediately positioned himself in a corner of the room, arms folded against his chest and a frown present on his face. Though he may not have been happy with his costume arrangement he did look pretty good in it. England had dressed as his favourite magical (and totally not imaginary) friend. He wore a green waistcoat and trousers with a pair of enchanted green wings. Flying Mint Bunny himself was dressed as England, though surprisingly no one had commented on this yet.

"Hello Mr Potter, Miss Granger, Mr Weasley." Professor Kirkland nodded to each of them. "Mr Potter shouldn't you be wearing a costume?"
The Boy Who Lived was wearing a Slytherin tie, his hair had been slicked back and his scar was covered by either makeup or magic.
"I am Sir. I'm Draco Malfoy."
Professor Kirkland chuckled. "What about you Mr Weasley?"
Ron was wearing a belt that was made with bread buns that had been stuck together. "I'm a Gingerbread Man."
Both Harry and Professor Kirkland laughed while Hermione shook her head.
"It's great when I'm hungry too."

Norway raised an eyebrow at the teen who had invaded his sulk corner. Draco Malfoy's normally slicked back hair was now ruffled in a 'just got out of bed' manner and a Gryffindor tie hung around his neck. A scar and a pair of glasses had been drawn onto his face with a Sharpie.
"Lose a bet Mr Malfoy?"
"Yeah." A moment of silence passed until Draco spoke up again.
"You?"
"Yeah."

The night was almost over and though he didn't want to admit it England was quite enjoying himself. Both the food and the music was good (England had a strange taste) and France and America must have forgotten about their visit because he hadn't seen...
"Bonjour Angleterre!"
"Hey dude!"
England could not help but look up to the sky and mutter under his breath. "Why do you hate me?"
"Hey Iggy!" America ran over to England, arms outstretched awaiting a hug.
"Don't call me that." The Brit begrudgingly accepted the the hug. "What are you doing here?"
"I couldn't celebrate Halloween without my favourite bro. And Francey pants came along for the ride."

England looked France up and down, though it was obvious that America was dressed as Captain America he couldn't quite tell who France was.
"Checking me out England?"
"What?! No of course not! But who are you?"
The frog was wearing a sweater vest, tie and dress trousers and shoes.
"Is it not obvious? I'll give you a hint." England did not like the smirk on France's face. "Oi! Fancy a chin-wag over a cuppa Earl Grey me mate? Jolly good old chap!"
"You're me!" England gasped.
"I shall drive on the opposite side of the road to annoy everybody, and I have separate water taps for no reason. Such fun!" France continued his impersonation with a fake but pretty good British accent.

"This is why I hate you. I'm 100% done right now." England was about to walk away until a hand on his shoulder stopped him.
"Come now Arthur, the night is almost over." Professor Dumbledore said. "After all it's just a bit of fun."
Professor Kirkland grumbled and crossed his arms but otherwise didn't say anything.
"Who are you dressed as Professor Dumbledore?" Harry asked as the Golden Trio walked over to the small group.
The headmaster was wearing a pink top, orange shorts and a purple backpack. Though his glasses and beard had remained untouched he was wearing a black bob wig.
"I am dressed as a very interesting character that Arthur told me about. Dumbledora the explorer."

"Well, I believe that it is getting late." Professor Dumbledore addressed the Great Hall. "We should all call it a night."
"I don't know about you but I had a great time." Romania said as he bounced over to the group of nations.
"I don't think Norway did though." England nodded to where the Norwegian was still sulking in his corner.
"Hey Elias!" Romania called over to the Snow King. "Party's over we have to go."
Norway stormed over, a scowl on his face. "You call me that one more time and I will set my troll on you."
"Are you gonna use your troll or your marshmallow snow monster?"
"That's it!"

I extremely recommend that you Google 'Dumbledora the explorer' and 'Gingerbread man Halloween costume' because the pictures are amazing and what I described. France dressing up as England came from a comic on Deviantart. Incase anyone is confused Elias is a name I chose for MaleElsa.
I hope you enjoyed and please leave a review if you did.
