*Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing*
"Trick or treat!"
A little girl with bushy brown hair opened the door.
"Hello, Paul. What do you want?"
The leader of a small group of funnily dressed children glared at her.
"Don’t you know, Hermione? It’s Halloween! Your mum is supposed to give us sweets!"
The girl looked smug. "She won’t. My parents say it’s bad behaviour to go from door to door asking for sweets, and sugar ruins your teeth. Besides, you look very silly in that sorcerer’s costume, Paul."
"Oh, really? Shut up or I’ll turn that awful hair of yours green!" The boy raised the painted stick he was carrying to point it threateningly at the girl.
When the other children started to laugh hysterically, he realized too late he’d probably made a mistake…
*Pop*
"OBLIVIATE!"
Sighing, Kingsley Shacklebolt surveyed the little group of suddenly blank-faced children before he changed the boy’s hair from bright green to its former black. Then he took out his notebook and added the name ‘Hermione Granger’ to his growing list of Hogwarts candidates.
With another sigh, he closed the notebook and Disapparated.
Shacklebolt rather liked being an Auror - but Halloween regularly made him wish he’d become an accountant instead.
