“Excited about trick-or-treating this year?” Harry called from the kitchen.
Severus, reading, hummed.
“It’s brilliant that you’re getting into the Halloween spirit.” Harry, in a toga, entered carrying a basket of sweets. “I hope we’ve enough.”
Severus looked up. “You’re wearing sheets.”
Harry grinned. “Brilliant, innit?” He frowned. “Where’s your costume?”
“This is it.”
“Who’re you supposed to be?”
Severus smirked. “A Potions master.”
Harry sighed. “Severus! You promised!”
“I’m here, am I not?” Severus said. “I could have left you to your...amusements.”
A slow smile spread across Harry’s face. “I’ll make it worth your while,” he purred, putting down his basket of sweets and sauntering closer.

Hermione, waiting alongside Rose and Hugo, turned to Ron. “Didn’t Harry say they were participating in trick-or-treating this year?”

Hermione, bright red, clapped her hands over the children’s ears before ushering them down the walk. "Come, Uncle Harry’s...erm...busy.”
Shaking his head, Ron hurried after them. “Looks like Harry decided on tricks tonight instead of treats.”
