Prompt: In Front of the Mirror
This week, the winner is:
ArcticFire[/size]
Please take a moment to congratulate her for writing this winning entry:
Harry looked in the mirror, and was struck - almost forcefully - with a memory from long ago, when he had stood before a mirror so very different from this one.
Then, he had been captivated, first by its beauty - gilded edges, smooth, shining surface - and then, the wonders it held within.
Then, in the form of his parents, he had seen his dearest, deepest desires - his very soul.
Now, as he stood before this mirror, considering all he had lost, and all he had gained, he knew what he would see in that mirror now.
Nothing.
Now go and check out the latest drabble challenge for yet another shot at some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Imagine That
And the winner of this week's drabble challenge is:
coiledheart[/size]
Please take a moment to congratulate her on writing this winning entry:
There was a little orphan who, despite the conditions he grew up in, turned out highly intelligent, highly charismatic, and endlessly polite. A little orphan who, despite his muggle upbringing, knew magic in a way that most purebloods would never dream of and had the raw power to back up his imagination. A little orphan, who despite his House, only wanted to study and be left in peace. A little orphan with a sweet, angelic face and a smooth voice to match.
A little orphan who grew up and became the most fear Dark Lord in history.
...huh. Imagine that.
As promised, the next drabble challenge is something special. Go check it out for another shot at some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Seven Deadly Sins
And the winner of this week's double drabble challenge is:
Lush[/size]
Spare a moment to congratulate her for writing this winning entry:
CAUTION: 17 years age limit
I’m certain everyone has done something they’re not particularly proud of. It can’t only be me, can it? To taste the forbidden fruit, even knowing that the prize of consequence will be much higher than we could ever afford… such foolishness it is. I gasped. He never liked me getting distracted from him. His soft lips pressing harshly against my own were the only reminder I needed of his oh-so-present state. How could I take my eyes of that delectable mocha skin? No. The question lead; how could I possibly pry my hands of his chiseled chest and round bu-? Soft fingertips trailed lazily up my thigh in a meticulous pace.
“I shouldn’t be doing this.” I whispered into his warm and very much inviting mouth. His only response was to suck my lower lip. Even as my nails dug harshly into his rear I spoke, conflicted as I was; "I really want to like you right now, but I just can't."
He had made his way down to my collarbone, licking it, before he answered; “No one ever said you had to like me.” As I felt my buttons being undone I couldn’t find it in me to disagree.[/color]

Prompt: Out Of Control
This week we have two winners! While one entry proved to be too hilarious to resist, the second incorporated the given theme extremely well. Very proudly, I present the winners of this week's drabble challenge:
Lush[/size]
With this entry:
'I am Minerva McGonagall!' thought a tabby cat with square markings around its eyes. ‘I have self-control.’ Her body didn’t seem to agree with her however. She sat, back stiffer than a stone brick, beside a lovely scented plant. Its purple-dotted petals urged her to lick it, nip it, and stroke her cheek against it. To her outmost shame; that was exactly what she did. The world became colourful and it began spinning.
Minerva couldn’t ever recall feeling giddy before, but as she trotted down the corridor with a pair of knickers in her mouth, she decided she liked it.
And Breanna Tala
With this entry:
Remus, tense and much too hot for the cold autumn night, leaned against the wall of the shack. His forehead was pressed against his folded arms and the rough wood of the wall was poking into his skin, probably making splinters.
It didn’t matter, though. In a few minutes, he’d be in so much more pain. The transformation itself was painful, but he could never stop the uncontrollable feeling of wanting to kill. Wanting to eat. Wanting the smell of blood.
The mindless wanting. He hated it.
In a few minutes, he wouldn’t be there to control anything he did.
Please take a moment to congratulate both the winners, and then go check out the latest challenge for another shot at some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Fortune
This week (or weeks, rather) has been extremely difficult for me to judge. There were two drabbles which, in my opinion, fully deserved to win, but in the end, it all came down to a difference of one point. Therefore, without any further ado, I present the winner:
nessa[/size]
And the winning drabble is:
Harry had always been very fortunate.
He was fortunate that an old man thought to leave him with a seemingly happy couple that locked him away for his childhood.
He was fortunate that he went off to an enchanted place full of magic and hopeful opportunities that led to death and tragedy.
He was fortunate that he met so many friends from his parents memories – friends that would hold his affections in the palms of their hands so tightly that when they disappeared, so did a piece of his heart.
Yes.
Harry never rolled any dice.
But he lost anyways.
However, I'd like to make a special mention here. Elaethuaine's drabble was the runners-up, and if possible, I'd like you all to go check that out as well, in the drabble thread.
The next drabble is up, so go check it out for another shot at gaining some glory, some gallons, and some house points!

This week's winner, without further ado, is:
coiledheart[/color]
Please take a moment to congratulate her on writing this winning drabble:
History had never fascinated him.
This was understandable. After all, his history, his past, full of pain, neglect, and misery, was something he wanted forgotten. He wanted no one to remember the intelligent, gentle, (disturbing) half-blood orphan he had been.
Tom Marvolo Riddle was a man of action, a being of power; always moving forward, never looking back.
Because of this, he never saw his mistake.
He was doomed from the very beginning – he never learned that Harry Potter would survive. And so, Voldemort would always loose.
Those who do not learn from their past are doomed to repeat it.
Once again, I stress upon the importance of spell check and correct usage of grammar. It all came down to a matter of two points this week, and grammar made all the difference.
Now go and check out the latest drabble challenge, for another shot at gaining some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Distance
And this week's winner (my apologies for the rather lengthy 'week') is:
euca[/size]
This is her first win, so I believe double congratulations are in order. However, I would suggest, euca, that you cut down on your semi-colons...I counted seven in your drabble. *grins*
The winning entry is:
Tom Riddle hated travelling; covering long distances that separated him from his destination. Yet, there was one distance he was willing to cover.
There’s a final destination to everyone’s lives: death. Tom had worked relentlessly all his life to shift that destination further away; moving it so far, the distance seemed infinite. Tom was quite content walking the endless road; every murder and attempt at gaining immortality; a milestone.
As he faced the raven-haired bespectacled wizard; looked death straight in the face; he realized he should have noticed passing milestones; checked his pace; for he’d already arrived at his destination.
Now go and check out the latest drabble for another shot at gaining some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Audacity
And this week's winner is:
ArcticFire[/size]
With this winning entry:
Draco fumed. That Potter! He - with his his blood-traitor and mud-blood friends - had the audacity to challenge him - HIM.
He could see it in every flash of Potter’s eyes, every laugh from Weasley’s filthy mouth, Granger's every breath, and it infuriated him until it was all he could do to maintain his cool exterior and not hex everyone around him to oblivion.
He’d show them.
He would show them, and they would learn the cost of their audacity in believing that they could challenge him, Draco Malfoy, that he was not to be trifled with.
He would kill Dumbledore.
The next one's a double drabble, so go check it out for another shot at gaining some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Dialogues Only
And this week's winner (by a margin of 1 point only!) is:
Sorrowful Cobra[/color]
With this winning drabble:
PROMPT USED: It's broken! TITLE: Is it, or is it not?
“Come on, bring it to me!” “Wait, Hermione, just let me fix this…” “The guests are coming, we have to hurry!” “Why did we have to be in charge of this, ‘mione?” “You did volunteer… I did this because leaving this to just you would result in disaster…” “I wasn’t paying attention…” -- “PICK ME! “Alright Ronald, if you are so enthusiastic about this, very well…” “Wait, what did I just volunteer for?” -- “Done yet, Ronald?” “Give me a minute or two.” “Come on, he’s almost here…” “Wait for it, wait for it…” “He’s here!” “3- 2- 1- SURPRISE!” “AHH!” “AHH!” “damn it, it’s broken! I told you not to rush me, Hermione!” “What do you mean ‘it’s broken’?!” “I mean it’s broken! What else can I mean?!” “But that guy said that it was unbreakable!” “Well, I guessed he lied!” “What do you mean ‘he lied’?! “I’m not going to answer that question!” “WHAT?! RONALD!” “Umm, guys…?” “Harry!” “Is something wrong?” “NO! Nothing’s wrong, everything is right!” “Why do I not believe the two of you…?” “Because everything’s not right! It’s BROKEN!” “What’s broken?” “IT’S broken!” “And what is ‘it’?” “This is it!” “Alright, that's it, I’m calling St. Mungo’s.”
Yes, it's hilarious. =)
Coming a close second is Capo Crystall's drabble, which only lost out on points for creativity.
The next drabble is up, so go check it out for yet another shot at gaining some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Opposites
And this week's winner is:
AutumnBreeze[/size]
Please congratulate her on writing this excellent drabble:
His eyes burned into mine as we stared across the hall at each other. His scarlet gaze eroded away at my defenses as I slowly lost this small contest of wills, this insignificant little battle. We were opposites in every way; his dead eyes to the twinkling of mine, his dark stance against my light one, his anger against my hope. We would never agree – and yet… And yet I felt pity for this creature, this creature that was my opposite, because everyone despises this person, this person who symbolizes the hate in the world while I symbolize the love.
The next challenge is up, so go check it out for yet another shot at gaining some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Taunt
And this week's winner is:
Consigliere Nio[/size]
Please congratulate her on writing this brilliantly unusual drabble:
Human halfer had decided to keep us in today.Why? He was here before dawn calling us in. He had given us a most luxiurous brush then. It was glorious. Never had I felt so.
I hear voices. Talking of books. One is human halfer. I hear a rather slow voice in return. I do not like it.
I go with human halfer. I meet a black human. Why not cover themselves properly? I flew. He is an underling, he fell near many.
Three humans come now. Evil. He's taunting me! He calls me ugly!
I rear. The talons fall...

Prompt: Never In A Million Years
It was a very tough decision this week. So tough, in fact, that I was forced to declare a tie between two excellent entries.
ArcticFire
With this winning entry:
Draco was disgusted by the thought. Friends? A Slytherin and a Gryffindor? Sworn enemies for centuries, hostility ran between them naturally. It was impossible for him and Harry Potter to get along.
‘Malfoy, behind you!’
Draco turned and shot a Death Eater coming at him from behind with a stupefying spell, and then proceeding to disarm another aiming for Harry. The two fought side-by-side in the final battle against Voldemort’s forces, weaving and ducking as they fired hex after hex.
‘You’re welcome, Potter.’
Harry replied by hexing a vampire headed for Draco.
Comrades-in-arms? Yes. Friends? Never in a million years.
And Consigliere Nio[/size]
With this winning entry:
Sitting down in the Common Room, Ron turned to Harry and said "Never in a Million Years!".
"What?" asked Hermione.
"Never in a Million Years." replied Ron. "What would never happen around here in a million years?"
"How about you actually doing your homework for once?" snapped Hermione
"Or not eating to the point where I want to check if you're half pig." interjected Harry.
"Not to mention if he ever gets some money for once." came a Slytherin voice.
"What's Malfoy doing in our Common Room?" yelled Ron.
"Never in a Million Years, you want to correct that, Weasley?"
Both these drabbles hail from different genres and have different strengths - ArcticFire's writing style and accurate grammar, and Nio's creativity and ability to entertain. Congratulations, both of you!
Now go check out the next challenge for yet another shot at gaining some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: When I Grow Up...
And this week's winner is:
esir[/size]
With this winning entry:
When I grow up
By Lily Evans, 6 years old
When I grow up, I want to be a mum. I think that’s the best job in the whole wide world. I want to have lots of babies. I want three girls and three boys. They'll be best friends, like me and my sister Petunia are. I already have names: Emma, Jane, Petunia for the girls, and Jacob, Sam, Harry for the boys. I hope my husband will like the names as well. I will love my children and be the best mum ever. I can't wait to grow up!

Prompt: Days, Months and Years
This week's winner is:
Consigliere Nio[/size]
With this winning entry:
Harry couldn't believe it. As he lowered his wand, staring down at his now lifeless foe, memories surfaced.
Sirius falling behind the veil. Lupin and Tonks lying in peace next to each other. Blowing up Hedwig. Dumbeldore's back arching as he fell from the utmost tower. Snape's eyes fading as the venom worked. Fred's last laugh echoed on his face.
And his parents' voices as Voldermort mercilessly slaughtered them in his campaign for control.
Too many people. Victims. He took too long defeating him. If he had been quicker. It took him 17 years, 10 months and 8 days. Too late.
Too late.

Prompt: Love Letter
It was something different this week, and I was truly glad to see so many people participating. I had a great time reading all your entries, and in the end, it came down to two entries. Hence, this week's winners are:
ArcticFire[/size]
With this winning entry:
Dearest Teddy,
If you’re reading this, we must be dead, and you must be old enough to know everything about us. We have so much to say to you, Teddy, and so very little time. The Dark grows in power, as does Voldemort. If we are dead, then we can only hope that we died defeating him so that you can grow up in a more peaceful world that what it is now.
We have made things so very difficult for you, Teddy - the son of a werewolf and a metamorphmagus. We can only imagine how difficult life must be for you. You have to know how very; very sorry we are about this. We’re sorry for leaving you when you are so young – though we know Harry will care for you like a son.
We’re so sorry we couldn’t be there for you, sorry we missed watching you grow up – missed your first laugh, your first step, your first accidental magic, and your first flight…
Most of all, Teddy, we’re sorry that we can’t tell you how proud we are to have you, and how very much we love you, our son.
Love you, always, Mum and Dad.
and Consigliere Crystall
With this winning entry:
Dear James,
I hate you. You’re an idiot and immature and most definitely the last person I would ever want as a father for my future children. But, somehow, I’m in love with you.
I suppose even I have to admit that you’ve grown up this past year. Maybe it was good for Dumbledore to make you Head Boy. Anyway, I’ve noticed a change, however small, and I’d like to think that maybe you did it for me. I’d like to think that, all those times you told me you loved me were true and not just some stupid joke.
I don’t really know what else to say. I just hope that you’re not laughing at me as you read this. Or planning on using it for any pranks. Just because I’m confessing my love for you doesn’t mean I won’t still hex you if you embarrass me, Potter—I mean, James.
When I think back to all the times you tried to get me to go on dates with you and all, I think I can now honestly say that somewhere deep down, I’ve always wanted to say ‘yes’. So, I guess this is it.
I love you, Lilly
Please congratulate both of them for doing so fabulously! Now go check out the next challenge for yet another shot at gaining some glory, some house points and some galleons!
