In the Room of Requirement.

Halloween Night.

6:00 pm.

The Room of Requirement, once the large white wooden doors opened up, would lead down to a colourful funhouse with a giant clown face. Harry named this, because of the thriller movie, Funhouse Massacre. This place is where everyone will lead the Purebloods and the rest of the Half-bloods who know nothing about the muggle culture, only to be frightened even more after the chase.

"Is everyone ready?" Harry counted about 49 students all together out of 100 wearing different costumes. Some were just dressed in their school clothes as they wanted to be scared with their pure-blooded friends but didn't tell them about the prank. But they were mostly there for the acting. They were going to have a couple of muggle-born students, as killers, chase after the muggle-born students just wearing normal clothes and pretend to kill them in front of purebloods.

Dean's costume was frightening as hell! He's dressed as Ghostface. If Harry saw Ghostface running up to him with a knife, that's just going to be the end of it all. Then there's Hermione's terrifying costume. Well, it was a little scary. She was dressed as a dead bloody bride, with a wig, of course.

He saw about two Creeper's from Jeepers Creepers, a couple of Jason Vorhees's. Someone was Annabelle but complete with an Annabelle doll. The Grudge. Oh, he'll never forget the children who were dressed as 'The children of the corn'. What a horrendous movie that was.

Kurt Wellow, a muggle-born Ravenclaw with blonde sandy spiky hair, literally had a Jigsaw doll on a tricycle, but then they wore that pig-faced costume and that just scared Harry. That has GOT to go into the corridors at some point during the night as well as The Headless Horseman, Michael Myers, Pennywise, Chucky, Jack Torrance, Purge killers, Samara, The Nun and Leatherface. Just all the best and most popular serial killers he could see in the same room as him. Merlin, will he actually survive this?

"Everyone, please hand me your wands," said Professor McGonagall, dressed as a dead Librarian which is supposed to piss off the Hogwarts librarian, Irma Pince. It did, indeed, do its job.

Everyone in the room, except Harry, stood in front of the Headmistress in a semicircle, pointing their wands at her.

McGonagall performed a non-verbal spell to everyone's wand, turning them into knives, swords, a golden ring, a chainsaw, and machetes. It was all a part of the prank and they could still cast spells, even if their wands were weapons. When she was finished, her pupils all studied their weapons with sinister smiles.

"Finished!" The girl with long black straight hair, blood tears coming from her eyes with black eye sockets wearing a vintage white dress came out of the funhouse and stood forward out of the crowd, and Harry had to blink a couple of times and remember this was only makeup. Damn though. She looked like Bloody Mary from head to toe.

"Firstly, you all look amazing!" said Harry, who was dressed as Freddie Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street and his voice, because of the voice modulator, sounds exactly like Freddie Krueger. It took a while to get this costume, but he got it just in time.

"You do as well, Harry," said Hermione sweetly, who came up to him and gave him a quick side hug. She was a little nerved that she had to prank Ron, and kill Seamus and Neville in front of him, but after all, it was a prank. "Best Freddie costume I've ever seen."

Harry grinned and hugged her back. Well, his grin was hidden behind his Freddie mask. He grimaced at how itchy his eyes were becoming though. "Thanks, 'Mione." Then he looked at a girl with blonde hair tied into two braids. "Emilie, is the blood on the walls done?"

"Yes," said Emilie with a nod, her Annabelle costume looking as scary and real as it ever could be. It frightened nearly everyone in the room, because of how realistic it was. But that was good. The more real everything and everyone looked, the better the prank will be. "Fake blood is just so cheap! I could stock up on it if we were to make a movie."

Harry wished he knew how to make a movie. This could be a great thriller movie. 'Hogwarts Massacre'. "Now, who wants to start pranking!" he asked everyone loudly.

Everyone raised their weapons, shouting, "YEAH!"

"Okay, so, Colin-" who wearing a Jason Vorhees costume. "-you're going to chase Emmaline and Rebecca down the corridors with your Machete," ordered Harry. "And when you come across a couple of students, Emmaline, fall down and Jason you're going to kill her. Not literally but...you know...just for the prank."

Colin nodded and he felt how sharp his fake iron knife was. His sinister smile creeped everyone out, just because of the way he was feeling the knife like it was something alive. Emmaline, a short brown-haired girl just wearing her Hufflepuff robes nodded as well.

"Great," said Harry. "And John, Chase, Florence, Lyra and Jake, you're in the funhouse at your stations. The rest of you spread out throughout Hogwarts and scare as many students as you can. Now let's go!"

"Who am I going to start with?" Hermione asked herself, fiddling with her fake golden wedding ring which was her wand. She was intrigued with how McGonagall could transform her wand into a ring which will work the same way as a wand will. this was just exciting to her because she's never pranked anyone for Halloween before.

"Give Ron the best scare possible for me, 'Mione," said Harry, patting her on the shoulder. Oh, he wished he had cameras around Hogwarts to capture everyone running and screaming bloody murder. "You need to give him something to remember."

Hermione gave her best evil cackling laugh possible and smiled vilely. That actually scared Harry a little. He began to doubt Hermione and Ron's future wedding and just hoped nothing...happens.

"How will I scare Seamus?" Dean then asked his big fake knife.

"Sneak attack, Dean," said Harry, grinning under his Freddie mask. He's never watched an Irish horror movie and pondered what the Irish would do in an actual massacre. "It's the best way possible. Just... don't take off your mask and kiss him in the hallways. If Purebloods see you two, they're going to suspect it's all just some joke someone's playing. We don't want that until we all unmask ourselves at around 12:00 PM after getting dressed in our other costume for the evening events."

"Understood." Dean nodded, his smile widening, and he trembled with excitement.

"Let's go then!" said Harry, pointing his bladed gloves towards the white door of the Room of Requirement that leads out to the seventh floor of Hogwarts.

Collin, Emmaline, and Rebecca were the first out. Everyone followed them, looking out for the other students who would be walking the corridors, thinking it is just a normal night.

But first things first, Cody, the tall blonde boy who's the older brother of Christina who both dressed as Purge killers, whipped his phone out, pressed play on an audio recording and set his phone down on the ground. Christina spelled Cody's phone with a loudspeaker charm, making the video sound x100 louder.

A loud siren was heard throughout Hogwarts. Then a lady began speaking, "This is not a test. This is your emergency broadcast system announcing the commencement of the Annual Purge sanctioned by the UK Government-"

-

Ron, Seamus, and Neville, all in Gryffindor Tower in their dormitory looked around the room at the sound of the siren and lady.

"Bloody Hell!" whispered Ron, rubbing at his thighs under his yellow and red checkered pyjama bottoms. He scratched at his cheek, confused about this weird lady talking to them when she's not in the room "What's a Purge?"

"I don't know, mate," said Neville with a shrug, fiddling with the hem of his blue plaid pyjama shirt. He doesn't know if he should be worried about this or if someone's messing around in McGonagall's office again.

"And what's a government?" added Ron with furrowed eyebrows.

"The government, as me mam told me, is like the Ministry but for muggles," said Seamus, staring ahead at Dean's bed and wondering where Dean ran off to. "They run the country, pretty much."

"Oh," said Neville, still completely confused.

-

"Weapons of class 4 and lower have been authorized for use during the Purge. All other weapons are restricted-"

Draco looked up at the roof in the sixth-years boy dormitory. There's that weird lady talking again. What the hell is going on? What Weapons? What is this woman talking about? He decided to head out of the Slytherin common room to investigate a little bit, but to also find Harry. Whatever a Purge is, he needed to find Harry just in case.

"Government officials of ranking 10 have been granted immunity from the Purge and shall not be harmed-"

Pansy and Blaise gulped and looked at each other. They watched as Draco left the dormitories in his dark green silk pyjamas and headed towards the exit of the common room.

"Draco, where are you going?" asked Pansy, tilting her head to the side with curiosity. She flattened out her light purple pyjama shorts and lilac long-sleeved singlet.

Draco turned around to look at his best friends and shrugged. "This bears some investigating, don't you think? And I want to find Harry. Whatever this is...this Purge thing...I need to make sure Harry's okay. Are you coming?"

Blaise gave a shrug and looked at Pansy, who shrugged also but stood up. They were just as confused and curious as Draco was and wanted to find out what was going on. A purge? What is a purge and why is a lady who sounds so unfamiliar talking over the loudspeakers.

"I want to see what's going on," said Pansy. She agreed with Draco that this needs some investigating. "Besides, we've watched some Slytherins exit the common room out of curiosity. Everybody wants to know what's going on."

"Then let's go!" said Draco, gesturing them towards him with a wave of his hand. Blaise and Pansy quickly followed after him.

-

"Commencing at the siren, any and all crime, including murder, will be legal for 12 continuous hours-"

Severus raised his eyebrow at this announcement. He was proud of Lily's son's shenanigans, no matter how weird they are. How did they even get this woman to say something so odd? But he hoped Remus was doing okay in the shrieking shack. As long as no students went down there then he'll be fine, and the students.

Professor Flitwick was dressed as a scary Leprechaun per Dean's request. He was hiding behind a couple of large cauldrons in the Great Hall waiting to scare the students away.

"Police, fire, and emergency medical services will be unavailable until tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. when The Purge concludes. Blessed be our New Founding Fathers and the United Kingdom, a nation reborn. May God be with you all."

Harry and Hermione began cackling at the fake broadcast, but they stopped as they all had a job to do. they were beaming with excitement. In fact, all the students dressed up were.

After the broadcast, Harry held his wand up to Emmaline's mouth and she screamed loudly. It filled the corridors of Hogwarts and everyone had to cover their ears. Harry had to suffer a little bit of deathness, but he was fine with that.

"Let's all spread out right now," said Harry after lowering his wand from Emmaline's mouth and rubbing at his ears. He wished he had earplugs or knew a spell that could block out sound. "It's time to kill!"
