Already the first week of November was nearly through, and Eloise was wondering where the time was going. In little over a month, she'd be honing in on sitting her N.E.W.T.s. And then? An actual career path, by all accounts. The thought was more than a little daunting, but diversions like this were always welcome. It had been a long time since Eloise had celebrated Bonfire Night - last year, if she recalled correctly, she had been somewhere in Germany. Spending it with friends seemed a good way to re-initiate herself into the tradition.

Casting around for an appropriate stall, Eloise smirked when she sighted the two things she'd been looking for - Wayne, too, was making a beeline for the beverage vendor.
