4 ghosts

[brokethecycle]

So, I know that Halloween this year is a big memorial. What's it usually like? Do we get to trick or treat or anything or ...is that not something wizards do.

[A weak filter BUT A FILTER.]

Hey, Nepeta. Um, are you feeling any better? How did all of that go?

The feast last year was huge. I don't think I've ever seen Mabel eat that much before. Well, aside from at the beginning of the year feast.

I think a memorial's only proper.

[brokethecycle]

Did they have candy, at least?

Yeah. I've only heard a little about what happened but a memorial would be a really nice thing to have.

[mysterytwin]

Loads. Candied apples, toffee, peppermint logs...you name it it was on the table. More wizarding candy like candied eyeballs and stuff like that too.

I know bits and pieces about what happened but not the full story.

[brokethecycle]

Well, that's good. Man, did they have the little chocolate frogs, too? That would have been a disaster.

No one really likes to talk about it. They'll probably tell us at the memorial, though.

[mysterytwin]

Yeah. They had pretty much everything. The frogs are only charmed to jump once so it wouldn't have been a big deal if nobody caught them the first time.

Which is kinda weird when you think about all the celebrations that got mentioned in the Daily Prophet the next day. You're probably right though.

[brokethecycle]

Oh, that's good. I almost had to chase the last one I had into the woods.

Yeah. I mean, whatever happened, it was a big deal. They can't just be cagey about it forever.

[mysterytwin]

There was some kind of war going on last year until Halloween. Then it all just...stopped.

[brokethecycle]

A war?

[mysterytwin]

Yeah. I mean we were all safe here but it was still happening in the rest of the wizarding world.

[brokethecycle]

That's crazy.

...Wow, wizards are good at covering that stuff up.

[mysterytwin]

Tell me about it. I mean it's good for conspiracy theories but at the same time everyone knows this is something that happened.

[brokethecycle]

I hope my parents never find out about. They'd never let me come back.

[mysterytwin]

As long as they don't get the Prophet I think you're okay. I mean the dark wizard who started the whole thing is long gone now so it shouldn't be a big deal.

[brokethecycle]

They don't. Atleast, I hope not.

Well, that's good.
