Such foolishness!
Glowering, Severus watches as Remus, dressed as a werewolf, Merlin help us, 'chasing' Muggle children through a 'graveyard', the grin on his face as wide as theirs. Ever since Potter and Malfoy settled in Godric's Hollow, their infernal 'Halloween Spook-tacular' has grown larger each year.
An enormous tree in the corner produces a constant shower of leaves falling onto a large pile below. The younger children play there, throwing themselves into the pile, emerging with handfuls of leaves and flinging them in the air. Ghouls float around the perimeter, some hovering over the entrance to the 'Spooky Graveyard', as semi-terrified screams emanate from the shrouded arch at the 'Crypt of Death'.
"Oh come on, Severus, it's fun. Perhaps the only time I ever get to enjoy being a werewolf. Besides, I've another costume just for you."
"Something suitably representative of the occasion?"
"In a manner of speaking, yes."

Severus rather thinks he'll enjoy this Halloween after all!
