xxxxx❈Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? I can't wait to see his gear! Thank the skies the Levy family was a bunch of nerds. She'd gotten a final package from Kai with the last of her 3D printed armor pieces (since the prior one didn't quite fit) just yesterday. After staying up late after classes to sand, prime, and paint, all the gear she'd needed was finally complete. The best of the news was that the Halloween party was on a Saturday, rather than weirdly mid-week. Otherwise, classes would've prevented a fun evening that she'd get to spend with a certain someone. After pinning her braids up in a very Leia style crown, Everly checked her reflection in the mirror. Normally she'd wear space buns, but if she wanted to wear her helmet at all, she'd need to put her hair up differently. It was already a pain in the butt to wear her glasses under the armor. Once she pulled it on, Everly grabbed the gift wrapped in Star Wars wrapping paper. That one was for Noah, and she was excited to give it to him. She held it close as she thunked down the stairs. Oh man, maybe she should've dressed in literally any ground floor room. Why were there so many dang stairs in this school? Unfortunately, her trek didn't stop on the ground floor. As Evie stepped outside, she was grateful for the chilly air. Thankfully it wasn't true metal like some cosplayers wore, otherwise she might've fainted before she ever made it to the ground. She did have to pull her helmet off to take a breath. It would also make it easier to actually.... see Noah. The best blessing is that there was still some sunlight over the Highlands. After making her way to the outside of the Quidditch Pitch, Everly greeted Professor Liu, who was flying lazily overhead. Hopefully Noah would appear soon, then she could free up a hand... and investigate this maze. Mazes were just big puzzles, after all.

 There's no need to complicate it
Dress it up or overstate it
Without too much hesitation
Here's the way I feel
 ════════════════════════
Noah was beaming as he put on his helmet. He'd spent the last several months putting together his Mando kit having finished the last bit of weathering on the armor just before the school year started. Having a Halloween event was the perfect place to show it off. It was especially helpful since Evie just so happened to be wearing Mandalorian armor as well. They seemed to keep lining up like that. The thought made him smile even more. He took a deep breath and headed up the stairs and on the way out of the castle.
Aside from the excitement of the costume, he also just loved Halloween. It was a family thing. They loved every opportunity to dress up and his mum went crazy with the Halloween decorations. There was a certain smell in the air that just made him happy. He took a deep breath of what autumn air he could get under his helmet. He wasn't ready to ditch it before he'd even shown it off. Of course, wearing a mask may not be the best way to complete a maze, but...
As he came to the quidditch pitch, which had now been turned into a maze, and quickly spotted Everly. It was a good thing he had the helmet on because he was sure his face was the color of a tomato. Gosh, she was pretty. He swallowed and moved toward her. "That armor is incredible. You did a fantastic job." He took a slow breath, hoping his face had returned to a normal color, before taking off his helmet. "And uh, happy Halloween!" He couldn't help but smile again.

xxxxx❈Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? I hope he likes the saber design I did... Everly greeted a few other odd kids in various costumes as they hurried through the maze's entrance. She was itching to start! But then... there he was! Well... hopefully. Ohgosh, she hadn't even considered what to do if others were dressed up as Star Wars characters.... Oh man... She pondered for a moment, brain going ninety an hour, when thankfully the person in question spoke up with a very familiar voice! "Oh! Thank you, Noah! I was actually up until the wee hours last night finishing up. Ended up owling home last week for a new piece because I mis-measured..." She trailed off, thinking the process might bore normal human people. Then he took off his helmet, causing Everly's cheeks to warm a bit as she sent him a bright smile. His words, however, reminded her of something. "Oh! Yes! Happy Halloween! And, for the spookiest of all holidays, I got you a gift! Well... I made you a gift... but either way." Everly handed over the box carefully, knowing that inside was the Saber she'd custom built for him, as well as one of the sets of Kyber Crystals she'd previously shown the boy. The saber was already loaded with the green LED, since she'd found that to be his favorite color. Now she had to hope he liked the gift!

Noah happily listened to her description of the building process. She looked so cute when she talked about something she was passionate about. It made him smile yet again. What a pair they made. He watched closely as she seemed to trail off, but he wasn't about to let that happen. He wanted her to be comfortable talking to him about anything especially when it was something they shared. "Oh, been there. Getting all the sizing right is a pain. I tried to buy some pieces online the first time 'round but it's so much easier to build them directly off your own body. That's why I used sintra."
He was a bit taken aback when she said she had a gift for him—a Halloween gift. He liked it. "Well, in that case, next year I'm reserving to be the one to give you a Halloween gift." When he took the box and opened it, his jaw literally dropped, if only just a centimeter. He pulled out the saber carefully, with almost a sort of reverence. He rubbed his fingers over the textured grip before switching the saber on. A green light was suddenly reflected off their armor. He couldn't stop himself from waving it around a few times. "Evie, this is the coolest thing I've ever been given. It's literally perfect." Without even thinking, he grabbed the girl in a hug. As his brain caught up, he quickly let her go, feeling a tinge of heat in his cheeks. He hoped she hadn't minded.
Once he was able to regain the use of his mouth he spoke. "So, um, maze. Uh, do you, um...want to check it out?"

When Noah seemed to pick up her train of thought and put it back on the tracks, even mentioning his own struggles with sizing. Cosplay certainly wasn't for the weak. He even added that he used sintra to make his pieces, earning a smile. "Mine are usually printed. I did all the math and even double checked it, so I'm not sure where I went wrong, but thankfully the new pieces fit. Though I've only worked with sintra a few times, so I'd have to defer to your expertise on that one." Though maybe if they combined their crafting, it would nearly double her output... especially while waiting on the printer to actually complete prints. Maybe she could order some over winter break to practice with. Not like she couldn't use heating charms and stuff at school.
After mentioning a Halloween gift, Noah quickly said he'd get her one next year. Everly felt her cheeks warm a bit at the thought that they would still be together for next Halloween. That certainly wouldn't be a bad thing.... in fact, something about it sent little flutters in Everly's heart. But then came the time for him to actually open the gift. She'd tested it about a million times, so she knew it would work, but she still worried! It was pretty immediate that he seemed excited, which was great. Evie smiled brightly as the green light whooshed over them, and a small laugh escaped as he moved it around. He said it was the coolest, that it was perfect... but then he pulled her into a hug!!
Evie pat his back, enjoying the moment of closeness, even if the hug ended rather abruptly. "I'm really glad you like it! All the parts are custom made by yours truly. I debated on putting in a piece that would cause it to make noise every time it was moved, but when I tested that on mine, I couldn't get it to stop! Every time it rattled about.... but anyway, once I get that figured out, I can always update. Or I can make more! They were incredibly fun builds!" That was true, for sure. Though Everly often found herself having the most fun when building or creating things. Maybe she could do something similar to artificing after graduation?
Then Noah asked a question that Everly had eagerly been awaiting. "Yes! I sure do. I love mazes and such, so it would be fun. Plus, if it gets too dark, we've got lights!" She gestured toward his still-lit saber, then she took the box it'd been in and slipped it into her belt pouch, adorned with an undetectable extension charm. She also switched on her own saber, the soft purple light adding to the ambiance. With a small nod, the brunette stepped into the maze proper. Oh man, she was so hype. The family used to go to mazes in the fall a lot... and usually at her request. Though, secretly, this one may just be a teensy bit better.... not that she'd tell them that!

Noah noticed that Everly laughed at his little demonstration with the lightsaber. That made him smile even more than he already had been. Then the feeling of Everly’s hand on his back made Noah’s heart do flips. He noted the fact that she hadn’t seemed uncomfortable with him hugging her. Hugs were probably okay. Good. He loved hugs.
He mentally shook the thought from his head and refocused himself on the conversation. He happily listened to her describing the process of the build. “Maybe I can help you out next time. Granted,” he added with a shrug, “I probably won’t be much help with the electronic bits. I’m a lot more in my zone with the natural world.” He laughed a bit, “but I’m more than happy to watch and offer emotional support. Hold things in place if you need it.”
As the topic moved on and turned toward the maze, he eyed the tall corn stalks. “I defer to your prowess Alor,” He said with a cheeky grin, allowing her to lead him toward the maze. He held the lightsaber just high enough that it bathed them both in green light as they stepped into the maze. “Whatever you do,” he said in a playful tone, “if you see a large cup or award of some sort, don’t touch it.” History jokes. He was hilarious. Killing it.

Everly, for a fleeting moment, wanted the hug to last a lot longer, even with the rather uncomfortable smush caused by their armor. Maybe she'd try to get him in a hug with normal people clothes on.... it'd probably be a lot nicer. Her cheeks were a little flushed, but thankfully she could blame it on the chilly weather. She had not, however, been expecting him to offer his help with one of her builds. Holy cow, that would be something. Then again, she was somehow the messiest and tidiest worker in the shop. Heck, she usually ended up messier than Lewis after a painting session! And he wanted to join in?
"Hey, sometimes emotional support is the best sort of help. Also helping me find screws when I inevitably drop them all over the floor." She laughed at that, remembering the frustration after Kai had accidentally throw the box of carefully organized spare screws. It took the family several days to find them all..... and that was assuming they actually did. It was very possible some had escaped altogether.
As they stepped into the maze, Noah said he'd defer to her, then called her Alor. As the green light danced over them, she sent him a smile. When he started, the brunette froze for a second before letting out a laugh at his advice. "Y'know, that's fair warning. Especially since there's two of us!" Oh man, being with Noah always led to her giggling like an idiot, but thankfully she'd managed to hold back her weird snorting laughs.... for now. As they walked in a bit further, they reached a junction. Blue eyes studied it for a second, deducing directions based on where they'd entered. Sending a grin over toward Noah, she pointed left.
"This is the way."

════════════════════════
Noah felt himself naturally moving closer Everly as they moved their way into the maze. He felt strangely comfortable standing next to her in here like the rest of the world was being shut away behind them. They hadn’t really had a chance to be alone so he’d happily take it. It wouldn’t even be too bad if they got lost for a while…
As they came to the first split he let her study it for a moment. He was glad she was excited and seemed to be putting really thought into it, because he for one, hadn’t been paying a lick of attention to anything outside of her since he’d arrived on the pitch. She was a good thing to be distracted by, but he’d have them walking in circles if he was the one in charge. There was a moment of silence before she seemed to come to a decision and with the cutest smile said, "This is the way." He couldn't help but laugh a bit in return. He turned to the left and fell into step next to her.
The two were silent for a moment. He didn't mind a bit of silence, but he was worried she might. He mentally went through a list of conversation topics before speaking. "So, uh, what are your plans after graduation?" He wasn't sure if that was a good question but it seemed like a reasonable thing to talk about and he honestly wanted to know. He needed to make sure she wasn't planning on running off to Romania or something as soon as they were out of Hogwarts.

Oh man, this maze was surprisingly complex on first run, but thankfully, Everly loved puzzles. No way was she calling for help on this one. When she noted the direction to go, Noah laughed about the quote she'd chosen. It was arguably the most fitting quote of them all, and yet, she used it simply for navigation. Though, she couldn't deny that Noah's laugh was absolutely charming, and that they walked in even pace, despite her being several inches shorter than him... well. It made her get those weird flutters again. This was most definitely a crush, right? No way could it be anything else.... and yet, she didn't mind a bit.
They walked a bit further in the maze, with Everly sneaking furtive glances toward the taller teen as they navigated their way. Eventually, the silence was broken with a question about plans post graduation. Everly sent over a small grin. "I'm not totally certain. I'm sure my grades are fine enough to work plenty of jobs, but I think I might stick close to home. Keep working in the shop there. I was looking at some other shops online and even if I just start out making cosplay gear, it'd be pretty decent money for now. Maybe someday have my own shop or something." She shrugged her shoulders a bit, though the gesture would be hard to see under the armor she wore.
Of course, that would depend on a lot of factors too. She figured her parents wouldn't have much issue with her staying for a bit to build up some money (especially since Kai was still in the house). There weren't all too many jobs in the wizarding world that were anywhere near as techhie or mechanical as she'd like, but she could try others. "I could go into Cursebreaking too, but I'd prefer a less dangerous career, y'know?" She laughed a bit at that. She would hate working in creepy tombs, even if there were a million puzzles. "How about you? Any grand plans after we get outta here?" Her blue eyes sparkled behind her glasses as she looked up at Noah, curious to know his thoughts on the subject.

xxxx✿ Wʜᴀᴛ's Gᴏɪɴɢ Oɴ? Corn Maze
xxxxx❀ Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? I foresaw the solution... I think.. Morwenna had been really excited to discover that the school was celebrating Samhain, even if they were going with the Muggle interpretation of Halloween. Naturally she drew her costume's inspiration from her own home region and the Arthurian tales that originated from there. She had wanted to bring an actual sword with her, but her parents had nixxed that idea, especially since she was likely to try to use the sword. They had made her one out of craft foam, which had made her upset, but she accepted her parents' decision. When it came time to dress up, she got into her dress and donned her tiara. She opted to go barefoot, since the character never wore shoes either... it didn't really make sense when you lived in a lake, after all. The flag stones were cold on her feet, but Wenn had walked around barefoot before and this was nothing new to her. Since she wasn't a big sweets person, she decided she wanted to check out the corn maze they'd produced on the Quidditch Pitch. As she approached the maze, she had the vague feeling of deja vu, which for normal people wasn't that common, but for someone with the second sight, it usually meant she'd predicted something like this, even in a dream. Closing her eyes momentarily, she tried to recall if she'd had a prediction about the maze. Then she shrugged and started to wander in. {OoC: Open for interaction Costume: Lady of the Lake}

There's no need to complicate it
Dress it up or overstate it
Without too much hesitation
Here's the way I feel
════════════════════════
They were deep into the maze but Noah had almost forgotten all about it. Right now, he was just walking next to a girl who made him happier than he could properly explain. Sure he’d had passing crushes, but those had been little more than just finding girls attractive. This was different. Noah and Everly had just fed off each other so well. They had a ton in common and he never got tired of talking to her. And the more he did talk to her, the more natural it became. He listened intently as she spoke.
“You clearly already have a talent for building and seem to love it, so I see no reason not to stick to it. Owning a shop sounds wonderful actually.” It seemed like a good way to set down roots. “Cursebreaking’s good too, though they do…travel a lot.” He hated the idea of her being in danger and gone on assignments all the time. Which was silly because it wasn’t like they were together or anything…”but you’d be good at anything you set your mind to.”
As the conversation turned to him he nodded. “Magizoology,” he said, not that it was a big surprise. “I’ve actually already got an internship sort of thing set up at the Ministry with the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. I’ll hang out there for a year or so and see if I want to stick around or head out on my own. Could teach Care of Magical Creatures someday if they ever need a new teacher. Guess we’ll see,” he added with a small shrug.
As they continued to walk he looked at her again and felt butterflies working their way up his stomach. It all felt strangely perfect. Maybe being in the middle of a corn maze at a school activity on an admittedly nippy evening didn’t seem romantic to a lot of other people, but to him, it couldn’t have been better. Them both holding lightsabers was the cherry on top. Maybe he was being dramatic but he felt like the world had turned on its head.
There was a little voice somewhere in the back of Noah’s mind that seemed to whisper, ‘do it, do it now.’ The voice was right. It didn’t have to be something complicated. He just had to say something. Noah felt like his heart had jumped into his throat as he looked at Evie. He grabbed one of her hands which he hoped wasn’t too forward. It just felt right. He bit his lip, but it quickly turned into what could be best described as an exasperated smile. At this point, there was no reason not to say something. “Evie…I like you. A lot. I didn’t try to, it just kind of happened,” he hesitated, “which is a weird thing to say because does anyone try to like someone? Forget I said that part.” He took a deep breath and tried to recenter himself. “So, I uh, guess what I’m trying to get at, um, next Hogsmeade weekend do you want to go out with me?"

xx❈Wʜᴇʀᴇ Aᴍ I? Corn Maze
xxx❈Wʜᴏ Is Wɪᴛʜ Mᴇ? Noah!
xxxx❈Wʜᴀᴛ's Gᴏɪɴɢ Oɴ? Haunted Hogwarts Event
xxxxx❈Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? Ooooh, future talk
Why was discussing the future always so... strange? Be it with parents, siblings, professors... or those super uncomfortable talks during OWL and NEWT years... and yet, it seemed so casual with Noah. Then again, every talk with him seemed to make her heart race, but it was different somehow. After she confessed her ideas, Noah seemed to agree. He even added that owning a shop would be wonderful. He had opinions on Cursebreaking, yet he softened it with a compliment as well. "Cursebreaking would sate my love of puzzles, but I don't think I'd much like to be away from home that long. Even school years seem to take forever some days. But... thank you. I try really hard to do the things I enjoy... hence my builds." she added with a small laugh. Clearly any normal person wouldn't dedicate near as many hours as she did to building things... except for her mom, but she wasn't particularly normal either.
To no one's surprise, Noah quickly identified his career as Magizoology. It would definitely make sense. Evie knew his love of animals first hand, after all. Then he added that he'd already gotten an internship set up! How awesome! He continued, saying he might go into teaching if Professor Yates should ever step down. "Well, I think you'd make a top notch Magizoologist. Plus, it would be something that makes you happy, and isn't that really what life is all about?" Evie sent him a small smile, glad that he'd shared with her. Then again, something about his words made her hope he opted to stick around... he was a really close friend already and if he moved somewhere far away, well... it would be harder to spend silly Halloween nights with him.
As they walked through the maze, with Evie secretly... maybe... choosing directions that might stretch on the night, she couldn't help the thought that it was turning out to be a fantastic sort of day. Sure, she was weighed down and definitely a little overheated in this armor, but she was also side-by-side with someone who just seemed to make her radiate happiness. Perhaps it was his own sunshiney personality... or perhaps her parents (and siblings, uncles, cousins.... everyone, really) were right about this being a really big crush.
Shortly after she'd guided them toward a righthand curve, Evie felt her hand be claimed. Cheeks flushed with a color that was (mercifully) hidden behind the green and purple lights of their sabers. Blue eyes glanced at their hands as she gently squeezed his back. Noah said he liked her a lot, but that he hadn't tried to. Did anyone try to make friends? Or was that just her childhood awkwardness? He continued, seemingly having the same sentiment. Oh man, they were indeed a lot alike... When he asked her to forget he'd said that part, Evie nodded, a small laugh escaping.
But then he managed to ask out a new question. Her cheeks flushed brighter as she nodded. "That sounds absolutely wonderful, Noah. And... um... I had the same thought too. A-about friends. And, well, and liking you an awful lot." She pushed up on her tiptoes, gently placing a kiss on Noah's cheek. That was... far more forward of her than she ever usually did, but it just felt like the right thing to do. Hopefully he'd agree?
