Chapter 5
Draco, Pansy and Blaise were still trapped together in the corridor and surrounded by blood. They were now shoulder to shoulder, not wanting to dare step into the blood to get away. So far, the ghost woman hasn't come back but the blood just kept closing in on them.
Suddenly, they heard screaming and the corridor had a ton of students running down it towards them. They panicked at how frightened the students looked.
"What the s-s-sodding hell is going on tonight?!" Draco asked loudly as the corridor was filled with too many screams for Blaise and Pansy to hear if he whispered.
"I don't know!" Pansy shouted, panicking as she could see something odd. Horrifying, actually. There was a guy in a blue suit wearing some kind of white mask with eye sockets. He was carrying a large knife with him. "OH MY GOD!" What she saw frightened her even more tonight. The guy in blue just stabbed someone! Not a someone, a Susan Bones. She could see the blood gush out of Susan's neck. It made her sick. She couldn't believe the other Hufflepuffs would run through this blood! Well, some did. The other Hufflepuffs were ... killed by this dude in front of them. Won't their feet get sticky with blood or their slippers? Don't they care about their clothes?! Merlin...
Dennis, as Michael Myers, walked up to the three Slytherins trapped around the fake blood. Seriously, though? Can't they just ... walk through it?
Draco gulped. Goodbye silky pyjamas and slippers. He's got other pairs anyway. "Let's go! Now!"
Blaise, even though he hated this situation they were in, stepped into the blood and gagged. It was so sticky and stuck to the bottom of his slippers. "Eugh... Gross!"
Pansy refused to step into the blood. She didn't want to get her new lilac slippers bloody! "No, you go ahead. I'll...catch up."
"No!" shouted Draco, his voice shrilled, and he reached out his hand to his best friend. "You are not sacrificing yourself for us! Let's go, Pans!"
Pansy only shook her head even if her arm was raising to grab onto Draco, but it never made it. She felt something poke on her back and looked down at her stomach. She couldn't see anything as she blacked out and sank to the floor.
"NO! PANSY!"
Draco and Blaise now had tears in their eyes, Draco was trying to reach out to her, but Blaise was pulling him back, saying, "C'mon, Draco. We need to get out of here before...he comes after us too." They took no hesitation and ran away, as fast as they could, the blood on their slippers making it harder for them to run, to where the alive Hufflepuff's had run off to.
Dennis grinned at this Halloween prank and how well it's going. Now there's just these two other Slytherin's to catch. Easy Peasy. No wonder Michael Myers was so good at killing.
Blaise and Draco just kept running, passing dead bodies as they kept running towards Gryffindor Tower. They both had to make sure Harry, Neville and the others were okay. They didn't talk to one another at all. The death of Pansy hit them hard and they were just petrified. How could someone do something so monstrous?
Out of nowhere, Anthony came running around the corner in his Chucky outfit wielding a knife, but he was unidentified as he was wearing a Chucky mask. He grabbed Blaise and stabbed him in the stomach. He squeezed the fake blood packet hard like how Justin told him too.
Blaise looked down and frowned at the blood, but he couldn't feel anything. Then he looked back up at his best friend. "D-Draco, run..." he said quietly and then blacked out, falling to the floor.
Draco's eyes widened in horror, and his tears streamed down his face. Not his other best friend. He can't deal with this...he can't lose another best friend.
Grinning under his mask, Anthony went towards Draco. This was just too easy. he could do this over and over again.
Draco couldn't do this. He just wanted this...this thing to kill him to get it over and done with so he can be with his best friends. But what about Harry? He hasn't seen him anywhere. Perhaps he's still alive. He hopes so. It gave him enough courage to start running away, past more dead Hufflepuff and ... Ravenclaw bodies. What pained him was seeing Luna Lovegood and Cho Chang dead on the floor. Cho wasn't the best friend of Harry's, but she was a friend. But Luna, she was Harry's friend and Ginny's girlfriend. How would that girl deal with the death of a loved one? He knows he wouldn't want to be living if he found Harry dead. He'd pitch himself off the Astronomy Tower before these killers get to him first. So, he continued running down the corridors, stopping for five seconds to catch his breath then kept going.
He kept seeing these killers everywhere! That guy in the blue suit and white mask, a weird, cloaked figure with a long white face, some weird ... thing with orange puffy hair and a white outfit that stood out in all weird places, some weird doll, that pigface guy. Merlin, how many were there?!
He stopped in his tracks when spotting a guy with a ... burnt face? The hell! Gloves with metal claws on them, a red and black long-sleeved shirt, and a hat. The sodding hell are these things?! They're definitely not human.
Harry smiled at Draco from under his Freddie mask. He was glad Draco was one of the last students alive out of the ten others that were wandering around the corridors still. With his gloves with blades on them, he walked slowly up to Draco, giving him enough time to make a run for it, and scraped his Freddie gloves against the corridor wall which made a loud grinding sound. Gosh, it wasn't even as scary than metal against metal.
Draco swallowed down the lump in his throat and backed away slowly. He couldn't do this right now. He needed to run and hide. He had to get someplace safe.
Harry silently chuckled at how adorable Draco was right now. He doesn't even know how to escape a killer! It's simple. Just run and hide. He has got to take Draco to the movies again so he can watch Nightmare on Elm Street. He neared Draco, his gloves still scraping against the corridor walls but then he stopped. He just waved at the blonde Slytherin.
Draco took his chance as the killer stopped and made a run for it. He just had to get away, had to escape this place.

Hannah Abbot, as the Headless Horseman, (Horsewoman, she liked to be called) galloped on her black horse through the corridors of Hogwarts. She had just taken out Terry Boot, Ernie Macmillan, and Cormac McLaggon. Easy targets. Don't they know that they can use their wands? Honestly, they're scared little cats.
She searched through the basement of Hogwarts, didn't see anybody running or hiding. Only stunned bodies of her fellow classmates and older students. Then she checked the first and second floors of Hogwarts. Still nothing except stunned bodies. She knows Harry and the professors closed all the doors in and out of Hogwarts. So, she knew no students would be trying to escape from there. But could students be near the doors? She decided to have a look.
Aha! Michael Corner's trying to escape. She grinned. Good luck with escaping now, Corner. Nightshade neighed and got up on her back legs and Hannah held on tight so she wouldn't fall off.
Michael turned around and backed up against the wooden doors which would lead out to the courtyard, but the door is closed. He was terrified, to say the least. A dude with a pumpkin head? That's nothing he's ever thought possible.
Hannah neared Michael on Nightshade until she was directly in front of him. Just like Ron, she pointed her long sword at Michael's forehead, stabbing him through the skull with great force.
Michael dropped to the floor in a heap, the last thing he saw was the pumpkin head before blacking out. Hannah sighed, another body she must transport back to the Room of Requirement.

Cody and his younger sister, Christina, ran through the corridors of Hogwarts, searching for the rest of the students who were running around the school trying to escape. They just loved this prank. It was so fun, better than Trick-or-Treating.
Cody's mask, black and blue with crossed-out eyes and a mouth that glowed, nearly lit up the darkened hallways like LED lights. Same did Christina's, but hers was coloured pink and black.
"What's that thing that Harry's planning for late tonight?" Christina asked her brother, whispering in case her voice was heard by one of her classmates which were still running around freely.
"I forgot the name, but it sounds a little like Mayonnaise," said Cody with a half-hearted shrug. He didn't care about the evening festivities late on tonight. All he cared about was this prank. "And I know it is an Italian thing."
Christina snorted at the mention of food. But her tummy rumbled. All this running and chasing was making her hungry. She couldn't wait until Harry and the others have rounded up all the Purebloods and half-bloods who don't know what's going on, only that their friends are being 'killed'. She was hungry for candied apples, gummy eyeballs, and zombie cupcakes.
"You didn't forget to order the other costume you have to wear tonight, didn't you?" she asked, still scanning the corridors for students with her knife out in front of her. She felt like a Shadowhunter with her knife, from her favourite muggle tv show she likes to watch. The Shadowhunter's.
"Of course, I didn't," whispered Cody, now looking at her with an obvious expression. "It's in the dressing room. You didn't forget yours, now, did you?"
Christina shook her head, knowing her other costume was in the dressing room too. Then she heard something soft but worrying. Crying. She could hear crying. Crying that sounds so familiar. It was her classmate. Romelia Green. She wanted to comfort her, but she had a job to do. She strode over to her, ignoring the look of fear in her face and pointed her knife at her stomach. She couldn't cast non-verbal spells yet, so in her quietest voice, she stabbed and whispered, "Stupefy."
When Romelia blacked out, her black hair knotting together against the corridor wall, Christina sighed and looked behind her at her brother.
Cody found two other students close by and took them out in the same corridor that his sister was in. He came back to his sister and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Let's go, Chrissy. There'll still be a few more students left."
Christina sighed and closed Romelia's hazel eyes before getting up and heading towards the Dungeons in case there were sneaky Slytherins still.

Harry slowly walked into Severus' office and there he was. Severus Snape, just sitting at his desk, not even wearing a bloody costume. He made his presence known by scraping his clawed gloves on the wall of the Potion's classroom.
Severus looked up and glared at the imposter, putting his quill down. "You better not be causing marks on my walls!"
Harry hesitated and looked at the walls. Oops, he thought as he saw claw marks from his gloves on the wall. "Sorry, professor," he said regretfully, his voice sounding exactly like Freddie.
Severus raised an eyebrow at the man. "Mr Potter, is that you?"
Harry nodded at him. at least the man could recognize him, somehow... "It's me, just not in the flesh." He grinned at his reference. "Like my costume?" He scraped his claws on the walls again to piss his professor off.
"I find it ... a little concerning with that skin," said Severus, grunting at the noise that the claws were making. "What are you designed to be?"
"I told you and the other professors. I'm Freddie Krueger," said Harry, wriggling his gloved fingers at his professor, the blades shone in the dungeon light. "He's kind of a demon that haunts teenager's nightmares and kills them in their sleep."
"Fascinating..." muttered Severus. But then he smiled at him, which he doesn't do at all. "Aren't you supposed to be out there killing my pupils, though?"
Harry laughed from under the mask. He enjoys the humorous professor so much, and he cannot believe he would think that. He just likes making a good impression on Draco's family and godfather. "I'll see you soon, professor. You will be at the Funhouse for the party, right?"
"I'll be there, Mr Potter," promised Severus with a little nod. Though he despises Harry, he must be a little nice to him as per Draco's request. "Where's your additional costume for the evening festivities?"
Harry couldn't wait till the evening events. Apart from pretending to kill people, the festivity was his favourite part. "My costume is in the dressing room inside the funhouse. You know, behind the clown statue."
"Draco has no concept of this, doesn't he?" Severus asked him, raising an eyebrow.
Harry nodded. "He has no clue, and I plan to keep it that way." He grunted and blinked; these lime green contact lenses were irritating as hell! He couldn't wear his glasses under the Freddie mask, or it would just look silly. He doesn't want to look silly. He wants to look scary as hell! Just in case his eyes get too irritated, he has his glasses in his pocket. "I should head back out."
"Yes, get out of my office!" Severus gave a little wave goodbye before getting back to his work.
Harry grinned as he ran out of his professor's office. Where can he go? He decided to check the bottom floor of Hogwarts first, the basement. Mostly stunned bodies and a lot of bloodshed, nothing else. A lot of stunned bodies as he could tell. He sighed and with his wand, he sent a Patronus to Severus so he can take these students to the Funhouse. But he sent around five bodies, with a levitation charm, to the Room of Requirement. All the professors are in costumes, except Snape, and are around Hogwarts somewhere. When they see stunned students, they take their bodies to the Funhouse and lay them down in a room. Harry doesn't know what rooms, but he knows the students will wake at around 10: 15 pm at the max.
He sighed when seeing Pansy in a large pool of blood, so he closed her eyes, but he kept her wand with him which he found in the corridor, as well as Blaise's and Draco's. He did the same with Blaise a couple of meters away from her, closing his eyes. Luckily enough, Madam Pomphrey, dressed as a killer Nurse came out from around the corner, lifted Blaise and Pansy up from the ground with a levitation charm and took them away to the Funhouse.
He chuckled when seeing a Chucky, Michael Myers, Leatherface and creeper every five minutes running around the corridors. He even saw Hermione a couple of times, floating around the corridor. They exchanged smiles to each other before going off to find more people to hunt or take to the funhouse.
A couple of corridors away from the Gryffindor Tower, he found a body lying on the floor with whitish blonde hair. Draco. He frowned when seeing him stunned. He's so beautiful as always. He looked around the hallways, when seeing nobody he rolled his mask up past his forehead, leaned down, and kissed the blonde Slytherin wizard. His lips were warm and soft as always. So kissable and addicting too. He played with Draco's tousled hair while thinking of later tonight with a smile. With one final kiss, he placed his mask back on and carried Draco to the Funhouse in the room of Requirement. He never took his eyes off this beautiful man in his arms, but when he did, it was when he entered through the white doors into the RoR. He smiled at Headmistress McGonagall, still looking like a dead librarian, and Professor Flitwick, a Leprechaun. He placed Draco in the same room which Pansy, and Blaise were in. The red and green horizontal revolving cylindrical barrel.
With another long sigh, and another kiss to Draco's lips, he went to join the hunt again and bring back stunned bodies to place somewhere in the funhouse. What he couldn't believe was why his own professors would put Neville in a maze, alone but on the other side of the maze was Ron. Poor Neville! He hoped his fellow dorm mate can survive in the maze alone.
He gathered the rest of the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff bodies from the corridors with Headmistress McGonagall, his father, Flitwick, Hannah Abbot, Dean, Hermione, Justin, and Dennis. When everyone that was hunted was inside the Funhouse, the students who dressed as killers all met inside the dressing room.
"Was this the best Halloween you've ever had or what?" asked Harry to all the student killers in costumes. He will never forget this Halloween, but he hopes next Halloween will be better.
"Yeah!" Everyone raised their weapons into the air, or just their hands.
"But the night's not over yet," said Harry, looking over at all the killers in the room. "We all get to scare everyone inside the Funhouse. Even the professors will join in the scares! Now, where's our Bloody Mary?"
"Here!" the black-haired girl raised her hand. Her face was deathly pale, her eye sockets were covered with blacks and reds thanks to whatever makeup or spell Hermione put on her.
"Sorry, I don't know your name," said Harry, his ears reddened with embarrassment.
"Josephine."
"Okay, get into your bathroom, please," ordered Harry. "Chucky, go hide somewhere, like in the ball pit or the bottom of the slide. Samara, hide in the games room. Hermione's already put in a television that's been charmed for you to walk in and out of it. Grudge, can you hide in the walls and under the stairs. There are entrance points into the walls. You just need to push on the walls and see if one opens and if it doesn't. Wait, first of all, can you make the Grudge sound?"
The girl nodded and made a deep throaty 'AaaaaAaAa' sound which scared a lot of muggle-borns. She smiled at her realistic impression of The Grudge.
"Yeah, umm..., you're not coming for any sleepovers in Ravenclaw Towers," said Rebecca, and everybody laughed at her comment.
"Alright, everyone,let's head to our spots," said Harry with a smile, who still sounds likeFreddie Krueger. "But remember what happens tonight at 10:30." Then he gesturedeveryone out of the room when they nodded. While everyone found places to hide,Harry headed back to the cylindrical barrel thing. Smiling from under his mask,he left the three Slytherin's alone so they can wake up together. He wants tohide in that maze Neville and Ron are in. He'd love to scare them. Actually,scare them.
