38. Freaks
39. Misery
40. "TRUE! nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why WILL you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How then am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily, how calmly, I can tell you the whole story." - Edgar Allen Poe, "The Tell-Tale Heart"
41. "You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. AT LENGTH I would be avenged; this was a point definitively settled -- but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong." - Edgar Allen Poe, "The Cask of Amontillado"
42. "At the time of Samhain, more so than any other time of the year, the ghosts of the dead were able to mingle with the living, because at Samhain the souls of those who had died during the year traveled into the otherworld. People gathered to sacrifice animals, fruits, and vegetables. They also lit bonfires in honor of the dead, to aid them on their journey, and to keep them away from the living. On that day all manner of beings were abroad: ghosts, fairies, and demons--all part of the dark and dread."

44. “They’re all gonna laugh at you.” (“Carrie,” 1976) Poor Carrie White, the quintessential high school outcast. Carrie fields her share of ridicule and scorn from her classmates, teachers and even her religious freako of a mom. A possessor of psionic powers, But come prom time, Carrie finds her peers begin to accept her, enjoying her company in spite of themselves. Then, as she accepts the honor of Prom Queen, a bucket of pig’s blood is dumped on her head by a particularly nasty rival. Just as Carrie plans to unleash an all-out telekinetic assault, the chilling line resonates with psychedelic fury. In her mind, they do laugh, and suffer and die in horrible ways as a result. I can just see Snape as Carrie.
45. Snupin Labyrinth. Goblin King Snape has stolen Teddy, after Remus has a bought of anger in how difficult it's been raising Teddy by himself. Now he must enter the Labyinth and rescue his son.

75. Bobbing for apples had is roots as a divination game. A bushel of apples were dumped into a large tub, and participants would use their teeth to grab onto an apple. The winner of the game would be the first in the group to marry. Some variations of this game took it one step further; a crunchy apple meant a happy marriage, but a rotten one meant nothing but misery.
76. Boys and girls peeled their apples into one continuous paring which was then thrown over the shoulder. The letter formed by the dropped paring would be the first initial of the person they would marry.
77. In the first variation, if a young person slowly peels the apple while looking into the mirror; the face of their future spouse will appear.

88. Spinner's End gets soaped and t-p'd one Halloween. Severus Snape is not amused.

90. HIGH SPIRITS ~ Remus Lupin is a quirky publicist called in to help save Hogwarts Castle Bed-and-Breakfast in the Highlands of Scotland. Severus Snape is a randy, snide phantom doomed to spend his afterlife with his unwanted bride, Nymphadora. Publicist meets phantom and high jinks and high spirits ensue.
91. Lupin & Snape are drawn into a Comedy of Errors and mistaken as land buyers in a small Highland Scotland valley. Unfortunately, there's also a rabid werewolf terrorizing the valley. And Severus' magic is wonky half the time as he's withholding sex.
92. Severus Snape is not a nice man. He receives a visit from an apple-wielding witch one day and wakes up in Albus Dumbledore's body. Now he has to keep Albus from his first tryst with Remus...deliciously scarred, endearingly romantic, amazingly manually-dexterous Remus Lupin. Hogwarts Castle lends a helping stair...or more.
93. Narcissa Malfoy mistakenly imbibes a faulty potion for enhanced feminine attributes that Draco's been making in the Malfoy Dungeon. The potion interacts with her magic and she falls into a deathlike swoon--right into Remus Lupin's arms and in front of a furious Lucius!

106. “Why in Merlin’s name are we staying at this creepy old hotel, Lupin? Couldn’t you find any place else where to spend the night?”
107. Severus Snape spends his days enjoying the fruits of his labors. He raises useful plants and keeps a low profile. He also cannot look into anything reflective, for you see...he's haunted by a dark and snarling visage.
108. Remus wished he'd died that day, but Teddy filled a hole in his heart. Then one day's outing turns into a race against time: Teddy is snatched from his room and clues lead Remus to a mysterious man whose long fingers are achingly familiar. Will they work together or is there more going on here?
109. On All Hallow's Eve the Veil between the Living and the Dead thins. A drunken Harry Potter, wallowing in too much Firewhisky and too many "what-ifs", passed out wishing he could make things right for Remus and Snape.
110. Argus Filch always liked Severus Snape. Now there was a 'Perfessor' what got the right way to punish the pernicious snots that overran the school. He finds a mirror secreted away; he spends time talking in front of it, inviting Severus Snape back to help him keep a new generation in line. There are other ears listening to, and accepting, the invitation.
111. Snape & Sons are well-known for their coffins. When a man wakes up in one, they are introduced to a world of wonder...and appreciation of one-formerly dead, kinda hairy man.
112. John Lupin was a soft-spoken, scholarly man. One day, he takes a walk in the woods and steps into a strange, foggy world. There he finds himself trying to live his doppelganger's--Remus Lupin's--life and drawn into a dark love-triangle.

115. "It looks like Wolfsbane. It smells like Wolfsbane. I'm wagering it works like Wolfsbane."
116. "Those swishy robes would look awfully nice on my floor. Guards, make certain Lupin knows where he is!"
117. "Don't! Don't touch anything! Don't breathe on anything! Merlin's Balls, don't even think in the direction of anything!"
118. "Giving an inch just means I'll take more. Why don't you just die like the dog you are?"
119. "Drinking blood doesn't make you a vampire," the low, gravelly voice said. "Reveling in the tang of it on your tongue just makes you a connoisseur."
120. "Oh, yay! Here comes the Boy Wonder and his tame werewolf. We're saved." The door splintered as bare fists battered at it. "Well, that won't keep out the rabble."
121. "I've said it once, I'll say it again: 'Severus Snape, you make one damned sexy beast!'"
122. "Hanging from a beam in the Dark Lord's dungeon playroom is not how I wanted to meet my end. And simpering at Parkinson is really unbecoming of you!"
123. "Why are you so pale?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"No. And don't look at my ears like that!"
124. "I always liked you. Your looks were interesting, your mind is fascinating. Why did you have to be so...dark?"
125. "It's not a man under a sheet. It's not some bit of prestidigitation. It's a fucking real ghost!!"
126. "The mausoleum was opened from the inside. There's also an overwhelming odor of brimstone."
"That rules out an angelic Snape."
127. "Stop flapping those damned wings! You're getting angelic fluff all over my best wool robes!"
128. "It pierced his artery, filling him with venom. Too bad Lupin had to see that."
129. "It's a dress, Snape. Wear it or by Merlin I'm going to hang you out of a window, upside down! You remember how well you liked that, don't you?"
130. "Miss Parkinson, I understand that a young girl's fancy can be caught by the strangest things, but you must know that...desiring...a professor's attentions is not quite done."
"But, sir, it's not you I'm interested in."
131. "Whips and chains only excite me. Although...a good wank might work in a pinch."
132. "You are under arrest for the murder of..."
133. "The fur is definitely werewolf in origin. We've got two suspects in custody right now."
134. "The broom seems wedged in there, doesn't it?"
135. "Keep that witch away from me! I don't know what I'll do, but it will be awful!"
136. "Keep your grubby paws to yourself, werewolf! And no drooling on my current victim. The slobber does not leave a good taste on my tongue."
137. "Tea! I asked for a bloody cuppa not a quarter of an hour ago and you still haven't brought it to me. Who do I have to kill for a cuppa?!"
138. "The scent of jasmine on your skin makes me blush. Didn't know that, did you? Did you even wonder why I was always there, always at your shoulder?"
