Happy Halloween!

After the English lesson, we got into our costumes and went to a Halloween party at the house of Dionne’s friend Christophe. It was like a dorm attached to their school, and it had a strangely strong resemblance to Hogwarts! They were having a huge feast with long tables in a big hall with stone pillars and medieval decorations. Christophe and some of his friends were dressed as girls, and there were a lot of other funny costumes too…I know I saw a few monks…and I saw someone that looked like Snape, confirming my suspicion that we had landed at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
It was the first really cold, crisp night we’d had this fall, and the leaves were all orange and half of them had fallen on the ground. Through the fog, we saw the castle and an old church on the way. It was a little eerie, and even though the streets were deserted, whereas we are used to seeing trick-or-treaters everywhere, it felt very much like Halloween.
