Down on Piñata Lane, you will find all sorts of Hallowe'en and Día de Los Muertos papier-mâché containers. Take your pick from gravestones, skulls, marigolds, tacos, horses, even bats and pumpkins! Any piñata you can imagine is in this area. Just pick up a bat and take a swing -- just be careful not to accidentally smack anyone.
What will come out of these magical piñatas is a total surprise for whomever cracks it open. The piñatas may be holding tacos, faux bats that will screech and fly on your face, toy calaveras that will dance as long as there is music playing, or there could just be sugary delights provided from Honeydukes inside. Just make sure to grab all that you can if something good comes out; those nearby you are sure to swoop in and make their claims.

FLAP FLAP FLAP
OOOOHHHH. Piñata's! They usually had things like this back in his home country during kid parties.
Big Bird not Owen bounded over and watched as his peers swung. He wanted to take a turn too!
*wigglewiggleflapflap*
The party aint a party without a pinata! If there aint no pinata, then it aint a partay!
Tenacius bounded towards the area, not just because he cant wait to get ahold of some pinata bashing, but also because for tonight at least, he was TALLER. Professor Newton's Aging potion apparently has many benefits see, and HEIGHT was one of those he had just discovered.
But older Ace is still kiddie Ace at heart, and the second he saw that humongous plume of yellow feathers, well he reacted like any kid would.
...... he gave Big Bird a hug. A nice TIGHT hug from a kid that has the height and strength of a 16 year old jock.
Yeah thats what crazy is, when its broken you say theres nothing to fix++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++And you pray that everything will be okay, while you're making all the same mistakes

"I'm going to get us all sorts of magic treats, Miss Nat. Just wait and see." She took up a proper stance, a bit like she was wielding a polo mallet, and waited until she heard the creaking of the rope swing past. Once. Twice. She swung HARD and connected with... something.
Hopefully not a person.
"Again, again!"

"Thank you professors, we're only glad we were able to pull it all off. It's a nice change of pace for everyone for one night." Sometimes a break was all that was needed to get everyone back on track and ready to work again. Plus it was a holiday and one that allowed lots of candy!
A beater huh? Hady eyed Nat for a split second before laughing. "I don't know... I think singing is more up your alley," she teased right back. Singing was Nat's thing and everyone knew that. At the offer of giving it ago she shook her head. "Not right now. Let Katy have a turn first." There was all night to swing a bat at some pinata's. Watching the younger years having a good time was what she really liked.
Watching the younger snake take the bat and start swinging was funny. At first the swings were complete misses but then...then she hit that pinata hard. "There you go Katy! Just like that!," she cheered her on. Another good solid wack like that one and that pinata should bust open dumping out whatever was held inside. Hopefully for the snakettes it was something good.
Her arms were kind of sore from all the swinging, but she didn't care that she didn't break it. She got out the energy she needed. The annoyance that was in her had needed to come out. No she could watch Katy a bit calmer. The younger girls had some potential in her, Nat could see it, but she was keeping a close eye on this one. She ever messed with one of Nat's friends again it wouldn't end as nicely.
Laughing at Hady's comment she was very right. Nat shouldn't stop her singing dream for beating. It was not going to be her profession. "That would be great Katy, lets see what you can do." She watched as Katy swung and hit it. "I think you almost broke it!" Maybe in another swing she'd have it open and they could see what was in it.
"If she breaks this one I think you should try the one over there. See what type of beater you'd be." She jokingly nudged Hady as she pointed to the pinata.

"BIG BIRD!!!!"
It was a good thing Owen knew a spell that would prevent him from sweating too much inside his big bird costume or else he would have been soaked by now from all the flapping he was doing.
Too.
Much.
Excitement.
In.
This.
Place.
WHOA.
Whoa whoa whoa. What was going on? Someone was hugging him. Someone terribly strong. Flailing, the big fluffy was overpowered and now flapped not out of excitement but because he couldn't breathe. Big bird not Owen tried to step out of reach from his assailant and in the process lost his balance - FLAP FLAP - bringing his assailant down with him.

"GREAT SWING," he said, smiling as he, too, grabbed a bat and practically tapped the piñata and...making quite a disappointed face. "I'm not nearly as good as you are," he said, leaning on the bat like he would a cane. "By all means, Rula, swing again--maybe we'll get something EXTRA COOL out of it," he winked. It came into his mind, then, that Miss Rula Botros was Junia's sister. And that was interesting becaaaaaause the smaller Botros was growing on him, and he had never actually taken the time to talk to Rula as much. He supposed he would change that now!
Someone was clapping?
Rula turned and spotted Professor Myers there. "Thanks, Professor," she said as he stepped in to take a swing at it. Fortunately, by now, she was over the whole pumpkin competition from his lesson earlier, so she wasn't too bothered by him joining her. Though...he only tapped the piñata?
"You could be as good if you hit it harder," she replied with a grin. "You need to swing at it like you mean it! Like it did something really mean to you, and you're getting back at it. Or like you're in the middle of the most important Quidditch game of the season and it's a bludger heading RIGHT for your Seeker while they're chasing the Snitch and you need to protect them or you will LOSE!" And she swung her bat and gave the piñata a good WHACK to emphasize her point.
