hp_halloween fest was its usual delight. For nine years now, I have spent October 31 kicking back in the recliner to read dozens of Halloween-themed double-drabbles. 2018 was not a disappointment: I loved the range of tones and characters.

Maggie's Summary: Sometimes Halloween is a season for masks. Sometimes it isn’t.

Characters: Albus Dumbledore, Gellert Grindelwald
