Guess Who I Am! ((Friends))

[Ingrid Lewis H4]

She had been racking her brain all week trying to think of a costume! And finally she figured out what she was going to be! It was going to be the best costume there! Probably the most scariest too! Ingrid looked at herself in a mirror and began pondering where to start. There was the ever so popular hair. She could simply charm it with the spell she had found in the library book she had checked out, but she wanted to do that last - the less time she would have to put up with the icky mess. Ingrid put her finger to her chin and tapped it three times before jumping up on one foot and hopping over to her trunk. She knelt down on both knees, and lifted the lid up. A swirl of dust wafted up into her nostrils and she coughed as she sifted through her things. Finally, she found what she was looking for and pulled it out of the bottom. THe black cloak flew up and over her head, and she was soon covered in darkness; "Jumping jelly beans!" Ingrid let out before she found her way out of the black sea of a cloak.

Ingrid hopped back over to the front of the mirror, and put the cloak down next to the other black clothing she had on the stool. She took off her uniform and slipped into the black pants, the black shirt and vest, and black shoes. She then slipped the black cloak on over everything else and looked at herself in the mirror. What a contrast! All the black against her fair skin and light hair! That would soon change! She sat down on the stool and pulled out a make-up kit. She didn't want to use magic for this, this was the fun part of dressing up for Halloween. The make-up! She was never allowed to wear real make-up, so she took pleasure in being allowed to wear make-up on Halloween. Ingrid pulled out the spongey thing, and dipped it into the off-white face paint. She then rubbed it on her cheek, blending it in so it looked natural and not a pastey white. She continued to do this until her whole face was a shade lighter than normal. Then she took a black pencil and coloured her blond eyebrows, black.

Yay!

Now onto the hair! Ingrid pulled out that book from the library, along with her wand. She flipped it open to the page, found the spell, and pointed her wand at her head. She had complete confidence in herself. And she said the encantation. And wham! Her hair was black and oily! Ingrid smiled at herself with satisfaction. She was the spitting image of who she wanted to be, the only difference was - she was short. Very very very short. Ingrid jumped up from the stool and ran down out of the dormitories to the common room. She wanted to show Sita, to show Aaron, to show Gavin! Ingrid bounced into the common room and looked around fro someone. Anyone! Finally! "Look!" She yelled as she ran up to them, "Look! Guess who I am!"

((Okay, well Nattie wasn't exactly mentioned in the 'Site, Aaron, and Gavin' part, but I figured Nattie to be a friend. If ya want me to delete the post... I'll gladly do so. By the way! I finally got a chance to reply to our earlier post. ))

Nathaniel flipped the wrinkling page, skimming the tops of paragraphs, while stifling back a rather wide yawn. No doubt, the book was one of the most boring things that the boy had ever read, but it was for Transfiguration... and he really wanted to learn more about the certain subject that he was studying... Nathaniel closed the book. He had finally decided to stop reading, before it put himself to sleep.

There was a lot of talk going around about the grand Halloween Ball, and what they were going to where... and who they were going with. Nathaniel had always shrugged off the thought. He didn't plan on going anyway. Nathaniel was never the type of person to go to any kind of dances... let alone, dress up as something. Besides, he thought that it might be a be a little embaressing... going by himself, since he never had anyone to go with for these kind of things. Yet again, Nathaniel shrugged the thought off. He personally didn't care much anyway.

Nathaniel decided to go down to the common room, and see if there was anything interesting to do down there. The common room wasn't very full, so Nathaniel figured that he would just sit in front of the fireplace for a while. The boy plopped himself down on a sofa, directly in front of the burning fireplace, while his eyes traveled around his surroundings. Nathaniel stifled back yet another yawn, he decided that he really must have been tired, so maybe he would just go take a quick nap...

As Nathaniel picked himself up from the sofa, and was about to head back up to the dormitories. A small person, dressed in all black, and black hair bumped into him. The person looked rather hyper, and had asked Nathaniel what he thought that she was dressed up as. It was no doubt, a type of Halloween costume. Nathaniel looked closer to the girl, and grinned when he came to the conclusion, that is was Ingrid, decked out in the Halloween costume. It wasn't that easy to tell, since her hair had been turned black, but the sparkling blue eyes were something that almost anybody could recognize about her. Nathaniel pondered on the question. Seriously... he had absolutely no idea. "Umm..." he started, still pondering on the subject. "Uh, a... cat... perhaps?" Nathaniel guessed, with a sheepish sort of grin on his face.

Ingrid giggled at Nattie's guess. "No silly! Guess again!" Ingrid hopped on one foot as she waited for Nattie's second guess. Of course, she didn't think he would guess - unless he knew of exactly what she would be before hand. Which he didn't. No one did. She had kept it secret. This was her favourite part of Halloween. Dressing up and surprising people. It was the fun of Halloween! The best part! The wonderful thing! Plus the candy! Ooh candy! Ingrid hopped around again, a circle around the boy she considered her older brother.

When she stopped, it was behind him, and she hopped on his back. She couldn't contain her excitement! If he didn't guess soon and correctly she was going to burst! Too late! "I'm Snape!" She squealed with delight and hopped down before doing a quick twirl and a swift bow. Of course, the hair was the cherry on top of the ice cream - and the pastey white skin probably would give it away to a few people as well. But ingrid was thoroughly pleased that Nattie seemed to not know until she told him what exactly she was dressed up as. It was probably the scariest costume there! Who isn't afraid of Snape?! Besides the stupid Slytherins who were favoured by him...

Ingrid's eyes glittered with joy as she sat down on an empty armchair and stared up at Nattie. A sudden question formed in her mind; "Are you going to the ball, Nattie? If you are, are you dressing up? I mean, of course you're dressing up if you're going to the ball, who doesn't go to a ball all dressed up? That's just not normal! Honestly!" Ingrid rolled her eyes, a little too enthusiastically and grinned at Nattie.

Nathaniel watched Ingrid giggle and hop on one foot, after she had announced that he had guessed wrong, indeed. Nathaniel pondered on the subject again, not exactly being able to think up of anything else. As Nathaniel felt Ingrid jump onto his back, he stumbled forward slightly, not really expecting that to happen... Nathaniel couldn't help but laugh when Ingrid revealed what the mysterious costume was. He had to hand it to the small girl, she had certainly thought up of a great and humorous costume.

"You'll defiantly be the scariest person there, Ing." Nathaniel commented with a grin. "Seriously." he added the last part with a short laugh. "Although..." he began again. "If Snape finds out... I sure as hell wouldn't want to be you... at all." Ingrid hopped off of Nathaniel's back, and sat down into an armchair... and then asked if Nathaniel was going to the Halloween Ball. "Erm... not exactly." Nathaniel answered. "I'm just not the type of person... to go to things like that, you know?" he mused, sitting on the arm of the chair that Ingrid was resting in, looking down at the small girl.

"I dunno..." Nathaniel went on. "I mean, even if I did... I probably wouldn't be able think of anything, that wouldn't make me look like an idiot." he said with a laugh. It was true. Anything that Nathaniel could think of, it would make him look stupid. Nathaniel didn't look too good in some sort of fancy tuxedo (and he didn't have one, anyway), he certainly wasn't going to be caught dead in some sort of spandex body suit, he wasn't going to wear any type of a very odd costume, with some sort of cape, and he really didn't feel up to dressing up as some sort of superstar (since he found that a bit odd... for guys, that is), superhero, or any other kind of fictional muggle character, such as Peter Pan... or something like that. Nathaniel was definitely not going to wear tights. Nope. Not gonna happen.
