I blinked, staring at the inside of my closet. I was going to attempt to make a costume out of my own clothes, but it didn't look like that was going to be do-able. I went and got the phone book and nestled down on the clothing strewn floor of my closet. I flipped through the flimsy yellow pages until I found an advertisement for a costume shoppe.

"Yay." I said happily to myself as I wrote down the address.

Later on I was perusing through the rows of costumes, mildly amused by the entire row filled with Pimp costumes. I pictured myself in a big purple hat with a fake gold tooth and a "pimp cane". Snorting, I moved on and stumbled across the perfect costume. I grabbed it off the shelf and headed to the register.

The party was still in its "getting started" phase when I arrived. I ducked into the bathroom to check on my costume.
A long bushy brown wig sat on my head, and long black robes fell all the way to the floor. I adjusted my new scarlet and gold striped tie and grinned at myself, giving the small wand in my hand a little flick.

"I feel like we're in Hogwarts."

Tara's soft voice floated through my mind. She had sad that the first night we had stepped inside the new apartment building. So I had thought it appropriate to dress up as Hermione. I really hoped she was here tonight. I wanted to show her not only my costume, but also all the progress I had made since she left.

I emerged to find the party had filled up much more since my arrival. I be-bopped my way over to the drinks, while looking for a familiar face.

[Taggie open to anyone.]
