Hogwarts invites you to The Haunted Masquerade! The great hall has been transformed into a haunted graveyard complete with enchanted fog that gets so thick no one can see through it and eventually dissipates, a band of skeletons enchanted to perform spooky halloween music all night, and of course, ghosts and ghouls to come out and give everyone a fright! Guests will dance the night away around replicas of the graves of famous witches and wizards. Even the entrance to Hogwarts has been transfigured so guests feel as if they are walking into the graveyard instead of the grand castle.

Along with dancing, the oppressive fog and musical skeletons, there is also a kooky witch named Gypsy offering mysterious potions to the guests. DISCLAIMER 1: none of these potions are harmful but the effects are up to the RPers. DISCLAIMER 2: Gypsy is an NPC so everyone is free utilize her for threads.

The event takes place IC Oct 31st but will run for the rest of August and duration of September following that, all masquerade threads will be moved to the past thread board and the ballroom will be closed.

Until then, grab your dates and have a spooky night!
