It's the most wonderful time of the year.

I love Hallowe'en.

Allow me to emphasise: I love Hallowe'en.

The Feast tomorrow promises to be interesting if nothing else. I have heard murmurs of many an interesting costume amongst the students and more than one has been by my office asking for spare fwooper feathers, and any extra fangs I might have lying about. I myself have a rather ingenious costume in mind, if a bit heavy.

Note to self: Stock up on candy. Then, buy some for the students as well.

This will be a much-needed pick-me-up for the school I expect. It's been rather dreary here as of late, very much so. A little unnerving really, I much prefer the school to be a little more rowdy. When the castle's this quiet you start to hear old ghosts in the walls that are usually drowned out by the living. So I'm looking forward to the holiday and the week end.

No, Draco. I don't know who took your socks. And no, it was not me.

Right, I'm going to finish up this quiz for my second-years and then I'm going to see about some tea. Darjeeling I think, I'm feeling rather dangerous tonight.

Yes, that was a joke.

Happy birthday, Remus. Perhaps we can have a drink down the Hog's sometime soon?

Xiomara, do you think it might be appropriate for us to go in together on a gift? The Cards suggested a plushie might be well-received!!!

Or perhaps not.

I think it would be very appropriate.

What on earth is a plushie? It sounds like a Muggle soft drink.

One of my DARLING students brought one to class the other day. It was a stuffed animal and I confess I did not see the difference between it and any other velveteen rabbit but she assured me that it was FAR superior to your average toy!

Sibyll, dear? Do not believe a word that Brown says. Her mind may be addled from cosmetic charm abuse.

[lupercusna]

Oh, that's not necessary, Sibyll. Thank you though!

[onourbrooms.livejournal.com]

You will be gifted, and you will like it. Just count yourself lucky that Sibyll and I are a rather tame force, as compared to Sylvia and I. (I seem to recall a conversation that went something like this: "So Sev, you like strawberry-flavored things, right?" "Begone, spawn of Satan." "Oooh, lovely. We thought you would.")

[lupercusna]

Yes ma'am. Thank you ma'am.

(And incidentally, he's very fond of blackberry. You didn't hear that from me, however.)

I thought I told you to shut up.

[lupercusna]

That would be lovely, Xiomara. I'll find you tonight, and we will make plans.

Sibyll is welcome to join as well, if she likes.

Happy Hallowe'en.
