OK, now I have read the whole thing. I knew this wasn't a worldwide tradition but is it really only us Yankees that do it? Somehow this fic makes me feel a bit awkward. Although it's hard to argue with a chocolate-painted Severus. :)
AFAIK, ToT is a eroupeens thing, mostly american (well, we started it). It spred to other english speekign contryies, and may be in to canada by now, but in NZ its very rare (aus too im told, but i have no personal confermation on it) and in England its rather new, to the piont where its only been doen by meny for a gereration, maybe two generatiosn in the bigger cities.
Now, souling (going door to door for soul cakes/money) has been aroudn for a thousend years, atleast, but its more of a relgious event (and its on nov 1st).
There is major restiance to it in england for soem reason, don't know why, but mostly for mr. snakry-pant's reasons i expect.
soem palces also have trick-or-treat days, but its not called that, and is in a diffrent time of year.
see, i know all sorts of useless crap...
And yes, yoru other psot was correct, that sa typo, hehehe.
Us Brit kids go trick-or-treating too! It's probably not as big as over in the States, but I've been every year since I was about 5. (18 now, and I take my little cousins).
True, but the wizarding world isnt what you would call moderen, so they would be behind. Also, depending on how u take Remeu's question, he is ither askign what ToT is, or just how they did it at Salem.
also, am i correctit in saying that ToT is new to England? (I got aus ans NZ friends that gave me that info, but, well....they are aus and NZ, not brint, heh)
The muggle kids would know it. But I guess I agree with you.
As for whether it's "new" to Britain, I'm not sure. Something is mentioned in Shakespeare, but the "modern" version with sweets has definitely been around for a few generations. My grandparents did it.
I'm not really a big Snape/Lupin fan but the promise of chocolate did it for me! This is good, one suggestion though, you might want to give it a good proof-read, there's a few typos which kind of break the flow of the story. Good work.
I LOOOOVE chocolate covered, bounded Snape. I'm not really a remus fan, but if I may...
****“I…what…GET ME OUT OF THIS NOW OR YOU’RE GOING TO BE A THROW RUG AFTER THE NEXT FULL MOON!” he yelled, trying nudge his wand out of his pocket.****
that line was worth the remus for me lol
The only reason I dont like Remus is because for some retarded reason, I ignored the books description and now I've got this unnattractive character in my head. I'm hoping if I watch the third movie enough, I'll get over my retarded mental image

"Why would I want them to get excess amounts of sugar in their systems, not to mention an entire night when piratical jokes are encouraged"
I assume you mean practical jokes? "Piratical" is a word, but probably not the one you want here. :)
