The second month of term at Hogwarts passed smoothly and was amazing as usual.

It being Halloween month, it was more likely for students to find trick-steps on staircases. The Hogwarts ghosts were having eerie parties in every possible room with the stifling smell of rotten haggis and moldy cheese lingering in the air, and Peeves bombarded passersby with stink pellets. Nonetheless, our beloved Hogwarts staff hung up pumpkin decorations for us to admire in the Great Hall, the diligent house-elves cooked the most mouth-watering Halloween dishes for us to savor throughout the month and students were stuffing themselves with candies and treats, however they desired.

Classes went on at full speed as usual.

Students spent time enjoying the perks of the Halloween month, munching on Halloween treats, studying, socializing, playing Hogwartle and Quidditch.
