“But Headmistress, do you think it wise to hold a Halloween Feast with all The Troubles?”
“Horace, these students have only one childhood. In grim times like these, holiday celebrations are of the utmost importance.” McGonagall sighed. “When I was a girl at Hogwarts, the terrible Muggle war shadowed everything. I remember how fondly we looked forward to our meagre treats in those days. The Halloween Feast will proceed. Professor Sprout?”
The head of Hufflepuff read a report of all the supplies for the feast, including this year’s crop of enchanted pumpkins. The committee assignments were made and the meeting adjourned, leaving McGonagall alone in her office.
She picked up the pensieve that had once been Dumbledore’s and with shaky hands poured in the contents of a small vial. Immediately she tumbled through memory to the Great Hall six years earlier.
She and Professor Snape worked side by side in companionable silence, arranging the torches and placing the jack-o-lanterns. She’d carved one as a Gryffindor lion to see if he’d notice. They stepped back to admire the effect and he quietly touched her hand.
The headmistress gasped as she returned to her chilly office. Where could he be now?
