If you attended Professor Eris’ seminar earlier in the week, you will be very familiar with the fact that your Transfiguration Professor loved Halloween. Especially when he got to spend it with his younger grand and great-grandchildren. Granted, there were a handful of them actually within Hogwarts, but not all teenagers like their Grandfathers just as not all teenagers like Halloween.

With that in mind following the seminar on Monday, Professor Eris had put up a sign on all notice boards, stating that between 2pm and 4pm on Sunday, 31st of October - after lunch but before the feast that would inevitably be diligently prepared by the house elves for them to feast on - the Transfiguration classroom would be open for anyone who wished to come and show off their costumes, play some games or listen to music aka have a dance..

If you do decide to show up, the room looks much different than it would for your usual lessons. The chairs have been placed around the outside of the room to create space to dance to the latest chart songs from the likes of TDK or Abra. No, don’t worry. That wasn’t the Professor’s music taste but he had enough grandchildren to know what was generally acceptable and considering the excitement he had witnessed from Carolina over his newest single - he figured it was worth adding to the mix.

The main lighting has been turned off, and there are a few candles floating around the room, enough so that you won’t trip but the overall atmosphere is much darker. Cobwebs hang from the ceiling and sconces, while there is a dancing skeleton jiving away on the dance floor. Don’t get too close or he will grab your hand and dance with you. Carved pumpkins are dotted around the room, and candles illuminate the scenes and images he had taken the time to hand carve before the elves had made their pumpkin themed food for tonight; cats, witches, full moons, bats and more. They sit on the floor, floating in the air or sitting on the desks, the light drifting through the fog that is slowly raising off the floor as it curls around your feet.

There is a bobbing for apples station, though they are magically moving around the bowl of their own accord. Oh, and what’s that you ask? Instead of water, the apples are floating in a mysterious red liquid, but don’t worry. It won’t harm you. If you do manage to catch one however, you will be rewards for they are sweet and covered in caramel or chocolate. Opposite there is a table with five covered bowls sitting atop, do you have the courage to feel what is inside? In a world of magic, what your mind can conjure if probably worse than whatever the Professor has placed in side. ... Right??

Professors and students alike are welcome, Carwyn will great you all the same.
