     Every November, Slytherins sponsored an all-school lake party, being “the hottest house in the coolest of seasons.” The shore lined with warming lamps, beach chairs, and students in confusing swimsuit patterns. Gladrags sold out of their mood-changing argyle-print swim trunks, though no one could fathom a reason why they were fashionable that season. (“Magical subversive marketing! They’re literally charming your brain!”)     The main event was the Swim-Off—a four-way capture the flag game played in the water. The rules became more elaborate every year, per usual of magical society’s sports, with addendums for everything from giant squid intervention to rubber duck usage. No one knew the full scoring and penalty system, and as a result, the winning house changed depending on who you asked. Everyone cheated, anyway.
