FUN FACT: Jack-o-Lanterns used to be made out of turnips in England.
It was less than half a month until Halloween, and it seemed the whole magical community was rising for the occasion. More than one storefront had been decorated for the holiday already, with autumn colors sprinkling the streets. Andrew had just been returning home from work when he spotted the oddest sight he think he'd seen since he graduated Hogwarts: dancing jack-o-lanterns ... that were moving down the street in rhythm.
He immediately began to follow them as they disappeared into a crowd of onlookers, his brows high. He bumped into someone as he attempted to get through the wave of people. He stopped and held up his hand as apology and offered them a casual comment: "Who decided to send dancing turnips through High Street?"

Halloween was, in Tillie's opinion a bit of an overdone holiday, but she could see why people enjoyed it. Of course few of them had to deal with the idiots who fancied themselves something else come All Hallow's Eve and she was one of the people left to patch up those the got a little out of hand. At least she wouldn't be bored. That was the best benefit of her current occupation, despite the odd hours.
As most people were heading home for the evening, Tillie was just heading into the hospital. She'd left a little early to top by the grocer to buy something to eat for supper later, but it hadn't taken nearly as long as she expected.
A crowd had gathered on the high street as she made her way toward the hospital with her food in hand, slowing her progress. It wasn't until a Jack-o-lantern went bumping along, followed by a person who caught her momentarily off guard. "Oh it's alright," She assured him, watching another lantern go on by. "What is this?" She asked, wondering if he had any more of a clue than she did.

The thing was, Andrew didn't know what was going on. Obviously there were jack-o-lanterns roaming the streets, but the reason was unclear. He smile apologetically at the other woman. She appeared older than him, but no older than her mid-twenties. She too seemed to have little clue as to what was happening!
"I don't know what's happening," she said with a shake of his head. "It looks like someone's putting on a show. I hope they only enchanted those turnips to dance and not - er - attack or anything," he said with a nervous laugh.

Tillie, though not one to be too easily amused, was already chuckling at the little guys making their way, dancing down the street without a care in the world. "Oh I doubt anybody is going to use turnips to attack anyone." That would be creative, but highly ineffective, Tillie thought.
Just then, one skirted by her, literally under her skirt. Tillie quickly danced to remove it and nudged it with her boot once she found the blasted thing. "Cheeky little buggers!" Luckily it hadn't caught her skirts on fire! She toed it out of her way and back to join its little horde of buddies. Honestly this was one of the strangest things she'd ever seen and she was a meditwitch for crying out loud!

"I wouldn't doubt that someone would come up with such an idea." He'd worked on the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad. He'd seen some weird shit happen. "I wonder what the intent was. To cause panic? Bring entertainment? Maybe just to display their brilliant use of magic," he pondered, amused as he watched the little buggers dance among the crowd.

Tillie now had her eyes firmly planted on the hem of her skirt and her hands in her pockets. Any distraction was made them an easy target for pickpockets, especially in the gathering crowd. Not to mention she'd prefer not to catch on fire today.
"They are rather entertaining, I will say that." She was a little wary of them, because who knew what kind of trouble they could get up to, but in an odd way, they were almost cute too. "Seems a little over the top though, there are so many." Honestly, it was a little insane how many there were!

Andrew's eyes wandered the crowd and his chest grew tight as it became apparent that some people weren't as happy with the dancing turnips as others. Chaos was growing, and he wondered how long it would be until people were actually fleeing the site as their children began to sob.
"I wonder if they'll get in trouble for causing a public disturbance. Scaring children and all that. There's rules against that, right?" he asked, glancing towards the older girl.
