You'll get something plain and predictable, Ron and Harry had said.
She stomps into her third shop for the day, but loses her angry stride as yellowish orange leaves rain down at the entrance. Silly and over the top for decorations, but it calms her down. No need to get wound up—she can find a great Halloween costume, thank you.
The door jangles open to another customer, and the leaves pour again.
"Granger." Malfoy nods, face blank. A bit funny with leaves stuck all over him.
“How are things?"
"Fine." An orange splotch starts to form in his hair.
"Looking for a costume?" She stares, partly in horror and partly in glee, as his left ear turns yellow, then orange. Spots of color spread out on his robes.
A pause. "Yes." A corner of his mouth twitches.
"Fancy dressing up as a pumpkin?" She can't help the laugh. She must look worse, having been subjected twice.
"No. You should, though." They giggle for a few minutes, stop, look at each other, and giggle some more.
"Maybe I will."
The shocked looks on Ron and Harry’s faces are worth the clunky outfit two weeks later. Even better is spotting her pumpkin twin.
