Prompt: Escape
And the winner is:
Goten0040[/size]
Here's the winning drabble:
He knew shame well, but it didn’t stop his feet from moving.
He rushed across the grass, dragging the poor Malfoy boy with him. Fire filled the area, and he could barely breathe for the smoke. He had to get away. He’d killed Dumbledore, and he had to get away.
“P-professor!” the boy stammered. “Where are we going?”
“We need to escape, boy!” he seethed, frustrated. “What do you think?!”
He hushed, but Severus knew that Draco was fighting tears. The boy had faced the biggest decision of his life, and froze.
Perhaps he had something to escape from too.
The next drabble challenge is something special. Think you're up to the challenge? Go and check it out for a chance to gain some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Please take a moment to congratulate
Nienna[/size]
for winning the double double drabble challenge.
Here are the drabbles she wrote that won:
My Freedom - By Sirius Black
August 1st, 1976 When I was younger, school was the worst part of my life. It meant a boring, humorless tutor (didn't appreciate my jokes. Would have died if he'd seen the cartoons in my notebook) and getting punished for not being a perfect genius. I hated it. It was my prison.
Then I met James, and school became the best part of my life. He loves pranks and games as much as I do, and when I'm with him, I don't have to worry about being smart, or dignified, or anything.
I just have to be natural.
He is my freedom.
With Jealousy - By Peter Pettigrew
December 6th, 1977
I was so lucky that James let me into his club. I mean, I've never been good at anything but Potions, and then, for some reason, only the Dark-ish ones really turn out right. Maybe.....
Oh, yeah. James. He's always so good. Good in school, has good parents, good at Quidditch, and good to every Gryffindor.
I'm tired of it. Sirius doesn't mind because he can beat James at some stuff, and Remus doesn't care because he's a prefect and all the teachers like him because he's well-behaved. But I don't have anything, and I'm sick of it.
I'm jealous.
As Tormentor - By Severus Snape
December 17th, 1978
I utterly despise him.
Potter doesn't apply himself to much, but students and Headmaster alike all bow down and freely gift him with everything he could ever want.
Not that I concern myself with the matter. I would have enjoyed my version of utopia had he simply left me alone, as did the other students. This was not to be.
Sometimes I wonder why he continually chooses to torment me. But, as I've been unable to discern a reason, or see benefit in continuing to ponder the matter, I have given up.
There is no purpose.
I'm merely an outlet.
Passionate Lover - By Lily Evans
November 27th, 1979
I can't really describe James in any language. How could 100 words be ever enough?
I know that he's not perfect. I know that we won't agree on everything, and that each of us will be foolish sometimes, but we also care about each other enough to work it out and resolve everything.
Our passionate love.... there are no words to describe it, only snapshots. The tenderness when he takes my hand, the playfulness when he kisses my nose, and the honesty when he looks into my eyes and says "I love you."
He's the love of my soul.
My Future - By Harry Potter
December 6th, 2000
I close my eyes, and see his face again. Like me, but a bit older, and a whole lot smarter.
I still want to see him. I want to go find that stone and talk to my father again.
But it's best to leave it. I can't live in shadows and ghosts. I have Ginny and Teddy, and I can't leave them to go off brooding over my parents.
I still dream about my father, but not painfully. I know I'll see him later on, and I want to live today and tomorrow so that he'll be proud of me.
It was terribly difficult to judge this contest, and it was exceptionally close. I had several favorites in this challenge, and so an honorable mention must go to my all time favorite drabble, written by Captain Black:
Torture.
It’s been years since I last saw her alive and well. Everyday I regret every choice I made back then; every choice that brought me away from her loving arms. Everyday I stand in front of mindless buffoons who attempt to blow up my classroom. I endure a torture that I would not wish upon anyone not even my worst enemy. I see her eyes glaring at me daily, filled with hate and loathing directed solely towards me. It’s like she has returned from the grave in her husbands body to remind me that I’m the reason she is gone.
Congratulations to all those who entered. I'm sure you all have accomplished a great deal simply by participating and completing this challenge. Now go and check out the latest challenge for a chance to gain some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Why Not?
And the winner is:
Reeses[/size]
Here is the cute and fluffy drabble she wrote:
“Stop Tonks,” murmured Lupin as he gently pushed Tonks away from him. “You know we can’t do this.”
“Why not?” demanded Tonks, her hair turning a fiery red, her eyes glaring furiously at the man she loved.
Lupin started to answer with his usual answers; his condition, his age, his wealth, but it caught in his throat. “You - you know,” he finally managed.
Tonks lowered her eyes, then looked back up, catching his gaze. “I know that I love you. That’s all that matters.”
“Why?” asked Lupin. Her love for him had always confused him.
She smiled. “Why not?”
- - - - - -
Prompt: No Time Left
And the winner is:
AutumnBreeze[/size]
Here is the winning drabble:
Her eyes glanced up at the hourglass nervously. The grainy little pieces of sand were falling down quickly… she estimated that she only had about three minutes left.
Her breath caught and the panic began. She closed her eyes and counted to ten; it wouldn’t do to hyperventilate, after all.
“One minute!”
No, no, no! There wasn’t enough time! She glanced desperately at her paper – it was full enough, she supposed…
“Time! Put down your quills!”
She put down her quill. Her N.E.W.T.s were taken – there was no time left in the test, and her childhood at Hogwarts was over.
- - - - - -
Prompt: Famous Last Words
And the winner is:
Shabd[/size]
Here is the winning entry:
"Let us dance!"
And on that note, the music began. Sounds of fury and despair intermingled; flashes of red and green lit the night, throwing some in shadows while exposing the rest in painful clarity; the countless pairs of feet moved relentlessly, searching for a place that granted them security, if only for a moment.
He watched, thinking about his last words. It seemed fitting that the last words he ever spoke were ones which gave others strength to move on. For they would remember him not as the one who fought a war, but one who danced a last dance.
These three weeks were a pleasant change from the angsty drabbles that are usually entered. You know what to do, drabblers, go and check out the latest challenge for some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Expectation
And the winner is:
Esir[/size]
Here is the winning drabble:
Ginny tapped with her fingers on the table, waiting for her Potion's grade. She rolled her eyes in exasperation when Snape began a monologue on why a Slytherin had earned an Outstanding. She had never been patient, but right now Snape seriously needed to hurry up.In slow-motion she saw Snape nearing her table, holding her essay in his left hand. He wasn't looking at her, so maybe...
A small, scribbled A stood proudly in a corner.
With a wide grin, Ginny realised that some expectations really weren't that bad. She had just won five Galleons from Fred and George.
- - - - - -
Prompt: Itch
And the winner is:
AutumnBreeze[/size]
Here is the winning entry:
This, Sirius figured, was his punishment. It was his punishment for becoming an animagus illegally, it was his punishment for luring Snape into the Shrieking Shack, and it was his punishment for tromping around the grounds with Moony when he shouldn’t have. Azkaban was NOTHING compared to this hell!
Fleas. Of all the things he had to get when in dog form, it had to be FLEAS.
Oh, the itchiness. The fleas wouldn’t seem to transform back with him into his human form – it was like they were only on his dog form. And he COULDN’T GET RID OF THEM!
- - - - - -
Prompt: Understatement
And the winner is:
Reeses[/size]
Here is the winning entry:
“Well this sucks,” commented Sirius as he and James stared up at the towering wall of potion ingredients.
“That, Padfoot, happens to be the understatement of the year,” said James as he gripped his quill.
“And we have to label and alphabetize all of these?” gaped Sirius. “Just for blowing up the Great Hall?”
“Completely unfair,” agreed James.
“Well,” said Sirius, after a pause, as he reached for a jar. “I guess we should get started…”
“Sirius! No!” cried James as the tower of ingredients wobbled dangerously.
After an eternity, they fell, with a shattering noise, onto the two Marauders.
Please take a moment to congratulate the winners. Now go and check out the latest challenge for a shot at some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Reflection - Looking Back
And the winner is:
Goten0040[/size]
Here is the winning entry:
He gazed at himself in the mirror. The person looking back at him, however, didn't look very much like him. He swallowed, watching the corpse-like being do the same. Ten years ago, he would've looked so different', so youthful. Not now. Now, he had three-day old scruff, and his eyes lacked light. If he could be young again...
Sirius bowed his head. Without James and Lily, he doubted it would ever happen.
And here he was, in Azkaban, watching the life wither away from his features. For the first time, he looked like an old man.
He shed one tear.
- - - - - -
Prompt: Approval
And the winner is:
Clavelos Blancos[/size]
Here is the winning entry:
For a long time he had been searching for something. He had never told any one though. It was embarrassing in his mind. What he wanted, what he needed more than anything.
There was something that he had envisioned once. Two smiling parents, a loving gaze, a home that no one would ever want to leave. He wanted this more than he would ever admit. But what he had wanted most was the approval of his father.
But he was too old for silly childish dreams, for wishes upon a shooting star.
Draco Malfoy was too old for fairy tales.
- - - - - -
Prompt: Redemption
And the winner, by default, is:
Windshine[/size]
Here is the winning entry:
Petunia Dursley paced in the kitchen. It was too late. Now she could never forgive herself, could never redeem herself. She had wanted to apologize to Lily for YEARS, but had never had the courage. She had picked up the phone, dialed the number a thousand times…but in the end she had always hung up. She heard the milkman put the bottles on the door step, and she walked over to the door to get them. Opening the door, she screamed, before she realized that what was sitting on her doorstep was the key. The key to her redemption.

Prompt: First
And the winner is:
krazyredhead0317[/size]
Here is the winning entry:
She stood in the entrance of her cousin’s childhood home, knowing that the first and only man she fell in love with was nearby. Leaving her bags in the entranceway, she made her way towards the ballroom for her family’s New Year’s Eve party, remembering the first time she admitted to wanting to marry him, right in front of her cousin. She’d been so humiliated and hadn’t talk to him since. Now, twelve years later, she heard his voice again, though much deeper…“…to apologize to her.” Stepping around the corner, she questioned, “Apologize to whom?” He stopped and looked up.

Prompt: Blenders
And this week's winner is:
Hedwig[/size]
It was a very hard decision, as I was stuck between two amazing drabbles, both equally deserving to win, but in the end, it came down to 2 points. Please take a moment to congratulate Hedwig on writing this winning entry:
“I’m gonna make potions, I’m gonna make potions...” little Severus sang to himself. His parents had left him alone in the house and he wanted to make the best of this amazing opportunity for “magic.”
“Fill it up with crocodile blood,” he sang while pouring maple syrup into the kitchen apparatus, “then add bits of crocodile skin,” as he added parsley. “Prepare the cauldron,” he whispered as he plugged in the cord for the blender and put on the lid. “Mix it all together and let’s see what happens!”
He pressed a button, and voilà!
He made his first potion.

Prompt: Sound
And this week, we have a tie! Despite there being only 4 entries (my eternal thanks to all those who participated, by the way), I still couldn't pick out a clear-cut winner. Both the winning entries are equally deserving to win, and achieved a perfect score in terms of creativity. Without further ado, this week's winners are:
Zoriath Mentriad[/size]
With this entry:
They had finally done it. They had finally cornered the Longbottoms. Rodolphus, with the assistance of another Death Eater, dragged Frank into another room. This left only Bellatrix and Alice.
Alice looked frantically for her wand, but it was no use.
An evil grin spread across Bellatrix’s face.
“Silencio!” she said, wand pointed at Alice.
She raised her wand once more. “Crucio!”
Alice began to writhe in pain. She tried screaming, but no sound came out.
“How does it feel, Alice?” Bellatrix chimed sadistically, “Being able to feel so much pain, but not even the comfort of your own screams?”
And Freddie[/size]
With this entry:
Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts Teach us something please
Hugo Weasley entered the Great Hall behind the other First Years, ready.
Whether we be old and bald Or young with scabby knees, Our heads could do with filling With some interesting stuff
The older students sang cheerfully, magically, and proudly.
For now they're bare and full of air, Dead flies and bits of fluff So teach us things worth knowing, Bring back what we've forgot
He knew this sound was the invitation to his destiny.
Just do your best, we'll do the rest And learn until our brains all rot

Prompt: Keeping Your Fingers Crossed
This week's winner is:
Hedwig[/size]
Please take a moment to congratulate her on writing this wonderful drabble:
The Muggle Prime Minister was crossing his fingers for some good news among all the horrible things that had been happening during the last week.
“To the Prime Minister of Muggles. Urgent we meet. Kindly respond immediately. Sincerely, Fudge.” The startling voice came from the very peculiar picture frame on the wall.
“Please, not now!” he thought. “Well, actually, maybe he can fix all this. He’s a real magician, after all! All he needs to say is Abracadabra and maybe everything will be perfect again... no more broken bridges, no more deaths, no more craziness...”
He kept his fingers crossed.

Prompt: Memories
And this week's winner is:
General Unknown[/size]
Please take a moment to congratulate Unk on writing this winning drabble:
Memories. They bombarded him as he slept. When he ate. Walked the halls of his beloved school. Overtook his vision as he gazed at one student and saw others, long lost.
Why do they come now? Why do they come after all this time when everything is, for once, happy? Minerva is worried. So is Severus. The staff that have long been here and become family are the only ones able to see it.
Why haunt him? Albus looked down from gazing at the ceiling, and caught the bright green eyes of his most precious pupil. Ah. Now he knew.

Prompt: Black and White
And this week's winner is:
Freddie[/size]
Please take a moment to congratulate her on writing this excellent drabble:
Sirius Black smiled as he watched the snowy owl fly gracefully to his cave.
After releasing the folded parchment from her leg, he sadly realized that he would have to request Harry no longer send Hedwig.
He stroked the bird gently beneath her golden beak. She chirped softly.
She really is a beauty, Sirius thought, though she’s too conspicuous.
Sirius knew the darker and dirtier owls at Hogwarts would keep he and Harry safer. Hedwig was too bright—too bleached; her white plumage shone.
So Sirius said goodbye.
The white is breathtaking, he wrote. But the black would be breath-saving.
The next challenge is a double drabble challenge, for those who missed the previous announcement. Go check it out for double the house points, galleons, and glory!

Prompt: Balance
The winner of this week's double drabble challenge is:
AutumnBreeze[/size]
Please take a moment to congratulate her on writing this excellent drabble, with a near-perfect score:
His breath came in quick, harsh gasps. He could feel the blood pooling beneath his shirt from all the cuts he had acquired in his long captivity. He could hear the mocking, jeering laughter from all sides. And he could feel the adrenaline running through his veins, creating a ringing in his ears as he entered another battle for survival.
More laughter sounded from the crowd as the Death Eaters watched, entranced. They were certain he would die this time. He had been put through so many tests, and been hurt so many times getting through them. There was no way he could survive more. He had been put through the ringer, and staying in the world of living should be near impossible for him at this point.
One thing he was, though, was a survivor.
And he could certainly survive walking on a thin, breakable balance beam over a pit of Inferi. He could survive this. If he could survive the hell that he had been put through, survive so many “tests” that were really death traps, survive the torture and blood and beatings, then he could survive just walking.
He could survive this. The key was to balance.
I was extremely impressed with your entries this week. Now go and enter the next challenge, for another shot at some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Desire
Yet again, the contest was extremely close, and there was no clear-cut winner. I was forced to choose between two wonderful entries, but in the end, I gave up. This week, we have a tie. Please take a moment to congratulate:
coiledheart[/size]
For writing this winning drabble:
Since she was a child, she had dreamed of chaos and power. She wanted the world around her to be as noisy as it was within her head; she needed to see it shift and shake and finally burn.
It was why she had joined the Dark Lord. He knew and He gave.
Which was why she would kill any who dared bar him from her: tonight the Longbottoms would fall.
Insane long before the dementors would get to her, Bellatrix Lestrange raised her wand and let out a mad cackle as the world exploded in a cacophony of sound.
And Zoriath Mentriad[/size]
For writing this winning drabble:
A flobberworm had infiltrated Hogwarts. Usually, this wouldn’t be very dangerous, but this flobberworm was unlike any other anyone had ever seen! It was not to be underestimated, for it had dreams and desires. After weeks of slinking through crowded corridors, and nearly evading the death that was the bottom of a shoe, it finally made it to the Room of Requirements. Now all that was left was to locate the growth potion.
It crawled in front of the Mirror of Erised. A giant worm was destroying the city in its reflection. None will expect the Rise of the Flobberworm.

Prompt: Illusion
Without any further ado, I present this week's winner:
Freddie
And the winning entry is:
"He's a git," Ron huffed, storming down the Fourth Year dormitories. "A big, fat, betraying git."
Hermione looked up from her Potions essay and frowned. "You're still convinced Harry entered himself, Ron?"
"Of course," Ron scoffed, as if it was obvious. "Harry would do something like this."
Hermione frowned again. "Would he, Ron?"
Ron nodded quickly, and looked at the simmering fire.
Hermione hesitated and muttered, "I wish you wouldn't be under the illusion he did. Harry's our best friend, Ron. If he said he didn't, we should believe-"
"No, Hermione!" Ron interrupted. "I'm not under any illusion."
Hermione sighed.
Please take a moment to congratulate her on her victory, and then go check out the latest challenge for another shot at some glory, some galleons and some house points!

Prompt: Amortentia
This week saw a lesser number of participants than usual, but nevertheless, the winner for this week's drabble challenge is:
General Unknown[/size]
And the winning entry is:
13-year-old Harry wandered down Diagon Alley, counting the days until he’d be at Hogwarts. As he passed the Potions Shop, he stopped curiously. The usually fowl smelling store seemed to be emitting quite possibly the most wonderful smell ever.
The bell tinkled as he came in, and he saw the owner talking quietly to someone. Following his nose he peeked inside a single cauldron resting on the counter, and inhaled deeply.
“Ah, yes! That Amortentia is attracting quite the crowd today. Supposed to take the smell of the things you love most.” The owner interrupted.
Harry inhaled again, smiling.
Lilies.
Now go and check out the latest drabble challenge for another shot at some glory, some galleons and some house points!
