Summary
Halloween 1998, the first since Voldemort's demise. Hogwarts celebrates it's first annual costume ball. Hermione has returned to Hogwarts, so has Malfoy who's become some sort of wallflower. Despite it being Hermione's favorite time of year, she's distracted by Malfoy's odd reclusiveness. Perhaps someone spiked the cider, but something's definitely brewing between the pair.
