Gin, your Queen of Titles *coughcough*, brings you a muse and coffee induced series of Halloween drabbles! Hooray!

Title: Halloween Series
Pairing: Harry/Severus
Wordcount: 100 each, apart from the last one, which is 200. Total: 1000.
Summary: Harry and Severus. 8 years. Different costumes. :D


#1 The Greeks are coming
Rating: PG
Warnings: None


Harry didn't know why he had accepted the invitation to the Halloween ball at Hogwarts; Maybe it was homesickness that had led him back.

And then he was standing in the middle of the crowd, looking up at the ceiling and just felt at home. His Hermes-costume perfectly in place he walked up to the punch, where a tall man, dress up as Alexander the Great, was just filling his glass. His eyes gliding down to admire the man's backside, Harry's mouth watered.

Alexander turned around and, looking down his hooked nose, said: "Mr. Potter, what a surprise."

Harry blushed.


#2 How it also could have been:
Rating: R
Warnings: Bad puns?

"Hey, you're Alexander the Great!"

"Do you want to find out what else is great about me?"

#3 The Brits vs. The Yanks
Rating: PG13
Warnings: none


Harry was nervous. He couldn't believe he was bloody nervous, but it was their one year anniversary, after all. First time he had they saw each other in ages. First time he had the balls to ask Severus for a date.

The Floo swooshed and Harry turned around, blinking at the fine English Lord that was standing in front of him, haughty look and all on his face.

"A cowboy?" the Lord sniffed.

Harry grinned sheepishly. "Well, you always said you'd like to see me in leather chaps …" He leant up and pressed a kiss to Severus' lips.

#4 Undead Returning
Rating: PG
Warnings: none


Severus tugged his collar into place and bared his fangs at the mirror. Suddenly he noted a black, hooded figure behind him holding a scythe and whirled around, wand in hand.

"What do you want?!" he growled, narrowing his eyes.

"Easy, Severus," the figure said and lifted his hood, "It's just me." Death had never grinned prettier at him. Or more insolent.

Severus snorted. "Interesting choice of a costume."

"Well," Harry rubbed the back of his head. "I figured since both of us have been dead and came back, it might be time to get some fun out of it."

#5 Hands up, or I'll shoot!
Rating: PG
Warnings: fluff


"Severus? Are you ready?" Harry looked at his watch. They were going to be late at that rate.

"Let me just finish this," Severus' muted voice came from the laboratory. "I'm nearly ready." Harry shook his head. Lately Severus had been terribly preoccupied with something. It had even led to them switching roles – Harry was now always ready on time, while Severus took ages.

Harry sighed and checked his police-officer outfit in the mirror again.

"Harry?" As Harry turned around Severus the Mafioso knelt down, taking Harry's hand in his. "Harry James Potter, do you want to marry me?"

#6 Yum Num!
Rating: PG13
Warnings: crossdressing


"Hurry, brat! You do know how much I hate to be late!"

"The restaurant won't mind if we are a couple of minutes late. We -" Harry stuck his head out of their bedroom and started laughing. "Oh my God! What are you wearing?!"

"This is today's standard attire of Muggles, isn't it?"

"Of Rappers!"

Severus sniffed. "Well, show yours then." Harry blushed and stepped out into the living room. Severus' eyebrows hit the ceiling as he took in the short dress and wings of Harry's version of a fairy-princess.

"You – on the bed. I will cancel our reservation!"

#7 No shit, Sherlock
Rating: PG
Warnings: none


"I can't believe I agreed to this," Harry muttered, crossing his arms in front of his frock-clad body.

"I, for once, think it suits you."

Severus received a glare for that. "That's just because you're the leader."

"I though you like me leading..."

Harry harrumphed, but relaxed when Severus' arms encircled him. Well known and always desired lips kissed his throat, right up to the place under his ear. "It's partner-costumes for tonight. And I'll make it up to you."

"I love you."

"You too. Now get your move on, Watson."

"Only for you, Sherlock."

"You may call me Holmes."

#8 Epic Battle
Rating: PG
Warnings: silliness


Severus dodged the hand that was coming from behind even before it could come dangerously close. A sneer on his face he turned around. "A ninja? Harry, you're as stealthy as an giant trying to hide behind a birch tree."

"FIGHT THE EPIC BATTLE WITH ME!" Harry cried through the tight black hood covering his face and got ready for the next attack. "YOU SHALL NEVER WIN, PIRATE!"

Severus drew his cutlass in a smooth motion, beckoning Harry closer with his free hand. "Indeed?"

"Sev!" The ninja tapped his foot indignantly.

Severus sighed and cleared his throat: "I mean: ARR!"

#9 Harvest
Rating: PG
Warnings: mpreg


Severus knocked at the door, impatiently tugging at this shirt sleeve. "Harry -"

"I'm not going!"

"Why not?" Severus asked with a groan, wishing he had never agreed to go to that dratted party. Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes' Wicked Party. They probably had been out of 'W's when they had written the invitation. Severus even had dressed up in a costume, just to make Harry happy.

"Because I look hideous!"

Stiffling a sigh and sending a plea for help to the heavens, Severus entered the room. And there Harry was, sitting on their bed and staring tearfully at the mirror opposite to him. "I thought you liked your costume."

"I look ridiculous."

Severus followed Harry's look down onto his belly, where a round Jack-o-Lantern was grinning back at him.

"You look beautiful," he said, lifting Harry's chin and bestowing a gentle kiss on Harry's lips. "Both of you do."

Harry smiled up at him, tears slowly dying. Then he raised an eyebrow in perfect imitation of his husband. "Why is there straw sticking out of your shirt?"

"It will help me to keep all the crows away from you." Severus pulled Harry close again, kissing him hard before helping him up.

These are great! Alexander the Great wins my heart (he's a personal favorite of mine). Sherlock Holmes and Watson was also great! Loved the fairy princess outfit that caused Severus to cancel the reservation-priorities! Pirate Sev-Arrr! indeed. :P Very clever set.

Thank you! :D I just couldn't leave out pirates and ninjas.

The ninja tapped his foot indignantly.

Severus sighed and cleared his throat: "I mean: ARR!" *dies*

Oh, these really cheered me up today! *hugs*

"You – on the bed. I will cancel our reservation!"
Oh, yes! ;D
