Halloween gift for Rillalicious
Gift for: rillalicious
From: erised1810
Title: Almost
characters: James Potter, Albus Potter
Rating: G
Summary: While everyone else is inside for the usual Halloween celebrations, James and Albus have sneaked off to look for something else.
Notes: Oof! Just in time! Kudos to the mods for keeping this thing rolling, and especially bearing with my screw-ups. And thanks to Rilla for this cool prompt.
"We'll have to find something to do, James," said Albus, "or else we'll fall asleep."
"You mean you will fall asleep," James muttered, and stuffed his mouth with more chocolate.
"Hey, that was my package," Albus called out. Forgetting the cloak for a moment, he tried to yank the cards and plastic out of his brother's hands. One of the cards flew off and landed in the lake.
"Ha, there goes your namesake," laughed James and just as Albus wanted to shout 'shut up' they heard the low sound of an old-fashioned clock in the distance.
Somewhere else in the castle, several thousand voices cheered. The two boys huddled together under the cloak. They heard harps and soft drums.
"Unbelievable," Albus sighed. “The giant squid coming out of the lake at midnight on Halloween, and we'll be the only ones who'll see it."
"You won't be seeing anything," said a voice behind them, and naturally they jumped up, dropping the cloak to the floor.
"Just as I thought," sighed their Uncle Charlie. "Never mind, Neville, found them!"
"I should have known," James sighed as they slowly followed along the path.
From the lake they could hear a loud splashing sound.
