Smoothing out the skirt of her dress, she glanced around the room with a placid smile on her face. Watching everyone else look as though they were having a good time was raising her spirits - and the few people who seemed to truly embody the party spirit were amusing to watch. Finally raising the drink she’d picked up an hour ago to her lips, all it took was one small sip for her smile to turn into a grimace - before a couple of coughs escaped her. Looking apologetically at the person nearest her, she held up the glass in explanation. “It was a little stronger than I was anticipating. Whoever’s in charge of the drinks wanted to give out the good stuff.”

❝this is the worst night ever!❞ hayden roars , to no one in particular. but let’s be honest , she wouldn’t be making such a spectacle of herself if there weren’t at least a few people mingling outside on the beautifully lit patio. she sits on the polished wood railing , feet swinging pitifully over the grass. hayden enjoys pity , and attention. she always has. it’s the motivation for most of her behavior , so much so that it is almost subconscious , in that she actually kind of feels pretty terrible. she glances to the person closest to her , and then huffs , turning away and moving the veil she’s wearing , over her face.
‘‘ you don’t ----- ’’ he huffed , arms crossed tightly over his chest as he stood across from tahani , unable to even fathom how she was throwing a party without karaoke . how else was he supposed to get a midnight kiss ? by talking to the women around him ? yeah , that was highly unlikely . ‘‘ who the fork throws a party without karaoke ? that’s like a rule in the books of party throwing - even old age homes have karaoke nights . do not walk away from me , tahani ! ’’ he yelled , one second away from stomping his foot on the ground as he groans , reaching up to rub his left temple . ‘‘ how else is someone supposed to fall madly in love with me if i can’t show them my falsetto ? ’’
there had been few moments where draco could compare the good places to parallels of his past -- but the memory that resurfaced the moment hermione had stepped down the staircase was undeniable . his eyes glued to her -- just as they had many years before . but even as he minds attempted to differ itself from the memory , it seemed as though a spike of the draco malfoy that once occupied his mind had jumped forward . " shame krum isn't here to beat up your date or something , that'd be a laugh , granger . " the blond had nearly bit his tongue completely off as the statement slipped , the rash of jealousy vanishing almost instantly . " i didn't mean that . "
tenel ka swirled the orange coloured fairy floss around her finger before placing it in her mouth, a pop leaving her lips as the finger was pulled out. “i don’t have the faintest idea what this rubbish is, but it tastes like straight sugar - and as such delicious.” the red hair admitted, smiling softly at the individuals that passed by. she watched as a stranger stopped, her finger wrapping around the fairy floss. “i would offer to share, but i doubt you’d be interested in my saliva.” she joked lightly, taking another bite of her delicious treat. “have you seen anything interesting around the fair or? been busy stopping to steal peoples treats.” she joked - for the first time she felt at peace, like whatever was happening worlds away was out of her control. “i heard the mirror maze is quite the treat, if you’re interested in having a go with a complete stranger.”
Uneasy was an understatement, but it always took time to settle in someplace new. He’d been wavering between feeling hopeful and anxious since he’d arrived. Now with this shirt he’d been provided, he sort of just felt ridiculous. But he headed downtown anyway, eyes scanning, looking for familiar faces. Both good and bad, considering he was here, after all.
He found himself drifting toward the pumpkin carving station after not seeing anyone he knew immediately. He ran his hand over the orange flesh of one of the larger ones, and spoke to the person across the table from him. “Shit, I haven’t done this in--” He shrugs and decides to just round up the numbers, “a hundred years.”

she’s been standing outside the haunted house for about ten minutes . beth hadn’t expected to see any of her family , of course she was hoping they would appear but she was also hoping they were still living their best lives back home . hands clammed & holding tightly onto a bag of halloween coloured cotton candy , she is rocking from her toes to her heels , her whole body tensing every time she hears a scream come from inside . she didn’t have to be anxious here , right ? she was safe here ---- it was called the good place . she heard someone walk up behind her , but she doesn’t turn , eyes dead set on the door in front of her . ‘‘ thinking about going in ? i’m sure you’re much braver than i . ’’ she mused , slowly turning to look at the person behind her .
