Everyone more or less looked ridiculous but Althea did smile at the diversity in costumes. She thought she was going to get through the class without much socializing but Helga clearly had other plans for her. She perked up at the sound of a very energetic voice, instinctively she turned and the sight of Melbourne made her smile. "Hi, Mel, thanks," she briefly touched her headband, "I made them,...I can make you a pair too." She wished she could keep up with Mel's energy, but she just didn't have it in her.

Her eyes drifted and landed on one Katy Toussaint whose costume had caused the girl to smile once more. What a clever, clever girl. Althea gathered her things and moved over to the seat next to Katy and smacked her arm while trying to keep her smile from growing any wider. She was so amused. "Katy, I am literally gagging over your costume." Which roughly translated to: I am so impressed, I want to laugh out loud but that would be inappropriate right now. Leave it to Katy to always impress; Althea wondered just how the Slytherin always managed to stay avant garde in a sea full of regular people.
