They had survived the Professor's lounge and the next stop was down to the dungeons. They would probably end up with more tricks than treats, but that was to be expected from the snakes.
Drew knew where the entrance was, of course, but doubted the Slytherins would appreciate a bunch of birdbrains just busting in uninvited. So he straightened his Freddy Kruger mask and shouted at the wall "TRICK OR TREAT!"

Standing beside Drew, Arianna stared blankly at the wall, not sure if she wanted it to open or not. She wondered dimly, for the hundredth time since their first Trick-or-Treating excursion, how in the world the Slytherins would even know they were there. Could their voices travel through the wall that easily? Not that it really mattered...someone always came to the 'door' at the right time anyway.

Charon also stared blankly at the wall. Questions were flung about in his mind, questions about the trick or trating. Could they actually trust the Slytherins to give them something worthwhile? Not likely. Would the Slytherins actually bother to open the door? Probably, but only to mess with the Ravenclaws. Charon thought they as a group would be lucky if they escaped with their candy, sanity, and bodies intact. He felt that he personally would be lucky if he escaped without Reina coming out and bothering him. Of course, if she had any inkling that he was out there, he doubted that she'd just let him be.

Artemis heard the yelling and smirked as he reached into his bag and pulled out a dungbomb he found in a reasonably close dungeon. He yelled through the wall. "CAN'T HEAR YOU!" as he readied himself to toss the bomb at them. the bomb was gonna be foul, all he had to do was open the wall and close it, actually he whispered to the wallthat he only wanted ONE brich to move when he said the pass again so he could just toss the bomb and close it back up.

Ash was stumbling behind again. This was terrible. She had even forgotten her glass of water that the Muggle Studies professor had given her in the Staff's Lounge. Why were they going so fast? And didn't any of them have any sympethy towards her? She was thinking of just having someone roll her around the school at this rate. IT was much easier to roll than try to walk/ waddle.
"Stop going so fast!" she yelled exhausted from this, she was still carrying Solis's money in her pocket and the treats in her other pocket.

Hiro was right up in front with Drew, this was one tradition that he was glad the Thorntons introduced. His cane-long 'sword' guilding him along he yelled with Drew just to mutter to him afterwards. "We better be prepared for anything." Hiro said as if Drew needed the warning. "It's too bad that the professors gave us good stuff this year." He continued still thinking hitting the snakes first was a better idea. (Blindfold sold separately)

(might as well post here since I'm getting nothing in the Ball ) Crap, her costume wasn't complete yet. Charlie had attached the "rotting flesh" to her skin with the Gluten Perennis charm, shampooed her hair minus the conditioner to give it that frazzled look, and she had just put the white-out contact lenses in, after a millionth time of it flying away or poking herself in the eye. Deciding to just put on her Qudditch jersey which she smeared with fake blood just that morning, she made her way into the common room to pick up the shoes she used for qudditch. But as she got there, she saw Arty just talking to the wall. She didn't hear the "Trick or Treat" on the other side, however one look at the portraits could tell her that there was a presence outside. Those gossiping rascals. "What's up, kid? So lonely that you gotta talk to walls now?" However sad that would be, it would have been more pathetic if he was arguing with the wall.

Art put his finger to his lips and revealed the dungbomb in his hand, he then leaned to charlie and said " I get the odd feelings those idiots out there ain't snakes so i figure that we bomb them, steal their candy and get BACK in the common before the green cloud clears you want in?" Art smiled as he waited for the un knowing ravens to respond to his yell of 'What did you say?'

Ash caught up with the rest of them and chimed in, "Trick-Or-Treat!" she smiled to the door, wondering how Drew knew where the Slytherin Common Room was, "although... I won't really trick you..." she added. She wondered who was in there, and if they were getting ready forr the ball-- Ash doubted that the Slytherins would give them any treats, probably just shoo them away or something like that. None the less, she waited anyway, with her moogle head weighing down on her shoulders.

Oh, that was right! It was the Ravenclaw's tradition to trick or treat before the ball. Looking to Arty's hopeful face, she knew he wanted to dungbomb them badly. But she wasn't sure how much she felt like it. Talk about unspoken pressure from a firstie.
Scratching her head, she looked skeptical. "We won't have time to take their candy," she said after some thought and after putting herself in the Ravenclaw's shoes. "We can dungbomb them, but by then, they'd come back with some lame spell." But looking at Artemis before he could think of trying to retaliate with a spell, she added, "And forget about counterspelling. Two can't beat those overpopulated birdbrains, 'specially since one of the two are firsties." Hey, at least she was still up for some old fashioned dungbombing.

Ash glanced around her, "Maybe they're not here?" she said, seeing that it was taking quite a while for them to answer the door-- or maybe they just didn't want to answer the door, either way, Ash was ready to leave for the next stop, although she didn't want to seem pushy about it so she decided not to say anything. She gave a small yawn, any time now...

"No they're here." Hiro replied to one of the Ravensisters. "They're just blocking us out."
This had trap written all over it...of course the Snake's trap was just as much tradition as the trick or treating. Hiro really wished he had his wand, it had gone MIA for sometime now and he, as well as Drew, were suspecting someone took them possibly as a prank. (Hint hint Slytherin)
"Man I wish I had my wand." He muttered to Drew knowing full well that they were in the front lines for whatever the Slytherins had in store. "We said Trick or Treat!" Hiro led the call this time.

Drew had pulled out his wand almost as soon as Hiro had mentioned it and he pounded on the wall in front of them. They were taking more time than usual and Drwe had a feeling this was going to be more than the standard candy stealing.
"So... stick it out or move on?" he asked the others. The only reason they hit Slytherin was tradition. He doubted anyone really wanted to have their candy swipped.

Jade walked down the stairs, bored. She saw Charlie and a little first-year boy standing near the door and she frowned. "Hey, what's up, Charlie?" Jade asked, ignoring the first-year. "Why are you standing by the entryway?"
