Travis still seemed to be a little doubtful, but figured that Ric had some point. he wasn't exactly an expert on Ric's lying, so he never truly knew when he was telling the truth. Just had to trust the guy. "True." he muttered before smiling. "Ah, that's true." he commented. The last time was a bit funny, if it were someone else. The bad thing was that the boy had almost been caught. "Want me to come with?" he asked, raising an eyebrow as they headed down the halls.

"Yea you better come with.....it will take more then just me to get hiim back to the dorm room when he is passed out." Ric said as he smiled and shrugged a little bit, motioning for Travis to follow him as he walked up the stairs and made his way towards the Hufflepuff common room.

Travis smiled and shook his head. "You'd think he'd be lighter or something with how little he eats." he stated as he walked with Ric. He didn't usually go to the Hufflepuff common room, since he wasn't allowed. But he did know where it was. He kept his eyes out for anyone he should be concerned about. More specifically, looking for Lavi. "Hey Riiiic? What's Lavi going as?" he asked sweetly.

"He may eat very little but he is mostly muscles." Ric said to him as he chuckled a little bit, after all he knew that was true since he shared a room with him and he has seen him basically naked, he also knew that he should eat more but the curse messes withhim on that part. "Now why would you ask me about that? Afraid he may out shine you in your belt demon costume?" he said to him in a sly voice as he looked at his friend out the corner of his eyes, he had a feeling he knew why he wantted to know but he just wantted to hear him say it, to confirm his feeling.

Travis laughed and nodded. "But he needs a bit of fat in him too. But, muscles is good." he said with a small smile. He was trying to get more toned himself, but it was hard getting muscles for him. Raising an eyebrow, he looked at Ric before pouting. "It's no fun if you already know what I'm going as. But, no I just wanted to know since I was curious." he said with a chuckle. He was slightly oblivious to what Ric wanted him to say. "And my costume is so not going to be outshone." he said, smugly, though there was an underlying tone of playfulness.

Ric just shrugged stoppingin his tracks for a moment as he turnned and looked Travis fully in the face for the first time in years, it seemed as if he was staring into his soul. "Travis.....why are you curious about what Lavi is going as?" he said to him in a rather serious tone of voice as he basically burrned holes into Travis eyes with his steely gaze. "No...no it isn't fun when you already know everything that is going on and that is happening and going to happen." he said to him, it was odd to see Ric be so, well un-Ric-like.

Travis stopped short before he crashed into his blond friend. Eyes widened slightly as he stared back at him. The gaze was slightly unnerving. He looked a Ric in question, not blinking or moving away like he wanted to. "I, just want to know.." he said, resisting a blush. He almost frowned, tilting his head. It was different seeing this side of Ric. It'd been a while. He nodded, looking down before hugging Ric a little, then letting go. "I'm sorry.. You probably know but... maybe one of these days something unexpected will happen to you." he offered. He always wanted Ric to have a day as just a normal person. But it sucked since that couldn't happen.

"Well he hasn't decided yet." Ric said to him as he finally released him from his gaze by looking away even thouhg Travis looked way first, he could never really look people in the face to long or else he would know more about them then what they wantted him to know, that was the funny thing about secrets, they always came out in the future, which meant he knew them. "Yea maybe something unexpected will happen." he said as he got his normal calm look on his face, hugging Travis back some before he turnned and started to walk with Travis once more, that was when they found Lavi sleeping half in and half out of the Hufflepuff common room door way.

Travis sighed a little. "So you can't tell? Well.. Damn." he muttered almost pouting. He sighed before tilting his head. He wanted to ask about what he'd meant before but didn't want to ask for fear on knowing what it was. He smiled at the hug again, though was concerned for his friend. As they reached the door to the common room, he looked down and almost laughed. "Wow.. Well... least he's not in trouble." he tried before going to help and get him off the floor. It was kinda sad how he fell asleep in random places. "He needs to get more energy drinks." he muttered.

"Yes...at least he is well better for the ware you could say." Ric said as he smiled softly, chuckling at how Lavi was huggin a pillow to him and grinding against it a little bit, he had to step of the red-haired male so that he could pick his feet up before motioning with his head for Travis to follow him. "Hmmm....maybe these spells of falling a sleep have been getting worse....." he saidin a slightly concerned voice as he lead Travis around some people and furniture and even up the stairs into his and LAvi's room, it was easy for him to walk aorund while reading and with his eyes closed, even backwards, after all he basically knew everything so he wasn't going to hit anything or trip.

Travis nodded in agreement, helping in picking up the sleeping boy. He followed willingly, not wanting to be separated in enemy territory. Already he was getting a few looks from random hufflepuffs. He frowned at Ric's words. "That's not good.. Maybe it's just... he's not been taking his energy stuff..." he offered, growing concerned for his friend. It would be bad if the spells were getting worse. That only meant that the curse was getting worse.

"More like the cursehas building up an imuntiy to them." Ric mumbled as he kicked open the bedroom door and put Lavi's feet at the end of his bed and moved a side so that Travis could get him all situated and take his pillows back from the male. "Should tell Madame Pomfery to up the dosage on the energy potions." he said to him as he mumbled a spell, changing what Lavi was wearing to his pajamas before using the same spell on him self.

"I'll tell her when I go back to my common room." he said, frowning as he helped put Lavi correctly. He pulled the blanket over the sleeping boy, sighing. "It's kinda bad... Wish we could actually figure out a cure for it without having to find him." he said, almost bitterly before shrugging. "Well... I'll see you guys tomorrow, alright?" he asked offering a smile to Ric after the boy got changed. "hm, neat spell." He hadn't tried that before. And he had to admit, it came in handy.

"He created the spell so he will only know the counter curse...." Ric said as he set his notebook on the shelf with the many of other notebooks he had written in and yet to write in. Looking at travis before smiling and pullinghis own blanket over him. "Tomorrow.....yea i had to look it up because of Lavi falling a sleep a lot." he said as he shrugged some waving at Travis ashe watched him start to leve the room.

Travis huffed a little. It sucked that Lavi's brother had created such a curse, but nothing to do about it now. "Alright.. Slep well, if at all." He waved and headed outside, quickly making his way out of the common room and to the hospital wing, informing the nurse about Lavi's problem. After that, he went to his common room and got dressed for bed, finally allowing sleep to take over.


( Huzzah!! XD Daydone. >.> Now... skip to right before the party?)

(yea that would be awesome lol)

Shadow was in the room of requirements already. The room had prepared itself with a lot of room for everyone, food, music, candy, and a few couches and seats for people who wanted to sit down. Of course, Halloween themed. He had lengthened his hair to the middle of his back and had it braided. Wearing an open red shirt, and some tight-fitted pants, he looked rather good. n his back he sported wings that could actually move and acted like real wings.Almost like a fallen angel sort of way. There were a few people there, mingling. The party was not due until another fifteen minutes.

Travis had gone to collect Lavi and Ric, he had a trench coat covering his body, to not give the others a peak at his outfit just yet. It was more so for Lavi to be surprised. He grinned a little, unable to really wait to see what his friends chose to wear. Ric, he had no idea what the boy would even think on wearing. But it had to be something sexy, since there was Shadow to impress. Lavi... it could be anything really.

(goes to find thier costumes)

Ric walked out of the common room, seeing Travis standing there, waitting for him and Lavi, hegave a seductive smile, knowing the male could not tell who he was because of what he was. "Well now... that is no fun when you hide your costume." he said in a musical voice that sound it like a girl, he placed a hand on his hip, showing how chesty he was and all his curves, it was also clear that he was very much a female as he used his other hand to push his long silvery hair over his shoulder.

Lavi on the other hand came out of the common room in bare feet, silky black, lose pajama bottoms, not wearing a shirt as he showed of the tribal tattoos he had on his arms, torso and back. His bright red hair was down to the middle of his back in a lose ponytail. He didn't care about hidding his costume after all, he knew he was sexy since he was well toned and hada light tan, he looked over Travis and Ric, a seductive smile on his face as he pulled a cigerate out, lightingit as he beginto smokeit. "Well now that we are all here." he said to them, taking another drag from the cig, knowing that travis was looking at the tattoos, seeingas they disappeared well past the pants.

Travis' eyes widened as his mouth dropped. His eyes did linger on Lavi a bit longer than he would have liked, but he smirked a moment later, playing it off. It had taken him a moment to figure out who the girl was. He eyed both of them and laughed. "Damn, now we are going to have trouble having to keep everyone away." he said before shrugging. He took off the hat to show curving horns on his head, his hair straightened and showing to be a bit longer than it usually was. He had red contact lenses to hide his golden eyes. Smirking, he took off the trench coat. Under it he had basically no shirt showing his tanned skin. He had on a few belted buckles and two straps connecting shoulder guards. Low rise ripped up jeans were for his lower half, and he had some really cool looking boots for his feet. He did have fingerless gloves and a choker for some accessories. "Now I'm not hiding." he joked. "And Avi, that better not be a habit." he stated, raising an eyebrow at the smoking.

"Wouldn't you like to know." Lavi said as he chuckled, blowing smoke into Travis's face as he took in the sight of him, slightly up set that well he looked better then him, but he wasn't going to tell him how he felt about it all. "Come i want to see Shadows face." he said as he chuckled, it would be halarious to see how he reacts to Ric, after all it ws one of the reasons he was going, he tore his eyes off his best friend before grabbing Ric's hand and walking with him towards the party.

"Looking good, the both of you. It is better then how i imagined it." Ric said as he laughed at his little joke, it more or less sounded like the light sound of a creek. He then grabbed Travis's hand as Lavi started to drag him down the hallway, smiling as he cling to both his friends and smiling at the jealous looks that the males and females got as they walked by.

Travis coughed a little, eyes watering slightly as the smoke got into his eyes. Shaking his head, he rolled his eyes. "Better not be permanent." he muttered, but smiled a moment later. Hearing Ric's joke, he laughed before nodding. "Better be. I picked the shoes last minute." he joked as he followed after them, gripping Ric's hand. He looked over the female Ric before staring at the boobs curiously. "Are those real?" he asked, unable to resist asking. He did want to see Shadow's face at this new Ric. He looked pretty hot as a female.

"Of course these are real!" Ric said tohimas he stopped and let them both go, puling up his shirt to show how real they were, natrually being a male he had no problem with showing his chest but that didn't mean that a few people didn't thinkof him as a easy girl because of what he had done. He had even grabbed his friends hands and put them on his chest so they could feel how real they were.

Lavi being the more modest one when it comes to females, quickly pulled his hand away, and looked away as he reached forward and yank Ric's top back down before quickly stirring Travis and Ric into the room of requirement.

His eyes widened a bit but he tilted his head and squeezed a bit, not really thinking anything of it. Ric was originally a guy, so it wasn't like he was doing it to a stranger. And he had no such feelings. "Damn. How the hell did you turn into a girl?" he asked as Lavi pushed them into the room."Wait. that means you're a female down there too?" he asked curiously. It was rather interesting.

Shadow noticed the three coming in and he raised an eyebrow at the girl Ric. For a moment he was confused before realization dawned on him. Damn. Magic sure has it's benefits. That had to be one of the better costumes. Going over to them he looked at Travis and Lavi before smirking and grabbing Ric's arm, recalling last night's talk. "I'm borrowing him." he said simply before dragging him away.

Ric was about to say something to Travis about how he had done it and that he was a female in the lower regions also but Shadow was standing in front of them, he gavethe male a seductive smile, twirling a strand of silver hair as he blushed some, actting like a smitten girl. "Well now...this is a rather lovely sight. I am a she not a he." Ric said in his girly voice as he willing went with him, waving at his friends as he smiled, grabbing onto Shadow's arms and pulling him into a dance. "I am a girl for tonight....so itis safefor us to be together with out raising questions." he whispered into his ear ashe held him close.

"Well now.... that is rather suspicious." LAvi mumbled to Travisas he looked at him, he could feel the air between the starting to get awkward, it was like once Ric was gone, everything they never talked abouthung in the air between them. He looked away before pulling another cigerate out andstarted to smokeit, as hewaved at Trais and walked over to sit down, of course some girl's automatically came over to him and was chatting a storm up with him, he would laugh rather loudly and flirt away, keeping and eye on Travis the whole time and Ric of course.

Shadow almost laughed before nodding. "Sorry. You look rather decent as a girl." he said, meaning it as a compliment. As they danced he tilted his head, wrapping his arms around her waist. "How did you get the idea to turn into a girl?" he asked. He didn't really care what the others thought about him with another guy. But if Ric wanted to be careful, it was fine with him. He'd seen the expression of the other two's faces and had to resist a smirk. What did bother him was that they didn't stick together.

Travis nodded, a surprised expression on his face. He looked at Lavi and smiled a bit. "Well.. should be nothing right?" he asked. He did feel a bit awkward but almost pouted as Lavi went to go sit and talk with some girls. He suddenly found that girls were rushing up to him and asking for a dance or two. He smiled and nodded, unable to really refuse. Besides, Lavi was his friend. They both needed to have a bit of fun. As he danced with a couple of girls, he flirted a bit with them, letting them feel the horns and other parts of his costume when asked.
