asuname[/size]
With this winning entry:
Cheeks flaming, Harry shifted from foot to foot in the Great Hall. He was quite sure the words he just uttered had sounded different in his head. Even Draco, his best friend, looked a bit shocked.
“This is your ‘brilliant plan’?” Draco whispered. “THE plan? The ‘plan of all plans’? The-”
“It sounded better in my head!” Harry exclaimed. Loudly.
Draco sighed, seized Harry’s arm, and steered him towards the doorway.
“I had nothing to do with this folks, it was all him. All the bumbling idiot. Harry, you do realize girls don’t like hearing about their underwear in public?”
She's a first-timer, so double congratulations are in order, I believe. Now go check out the latest challenge for yet another shot at gaining some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Interest
This week's winner is:
Capo Ruby PRThai[/size]
Please take a moment to congratulate her on writing this winning entry:
Vernon and Petunia Dursley, and their solicitor, sat on one side of the large table across from Harry Potter, his solicitor and the accountant currently tallying items on his calculator.
The accountant cleared his throat. “In total, you owe Mr. Potter…” He then named substantial amount of money that had the Dursleys sputtering.
“And as per the contract you signed, there is the additional ten percent interest for failing to adhere to the terms agreed upon.”
“Ten percent on all of that?!” Vernon roared.
The Potter solicitor replied to this. “That is ten percent interest compounded annually, actually.”
Petunia fainted.

Prompt: Hunger
And this week's winner is:
Boss Nio - Puff Mafia[/size]
With this winning entry:
Hermione watched the two teams as they fought for supremacy. Though never liking the idea of being on a broomstick, she always found it fascinating when Harry played. You could be certain he'd pull some stunt that would get her heart racing.
But this match wasn't like that, it was... boring. World Cup Final just didn't seem to have the same spark as when she was at school.
To her left, she saw Harry soaking up the scene and felt a powerful pull to him. Hot.
Then she realised: as hungry as Harry was for Quidditch, she was for him.

Prompt: Advice
And this week's winner is:
asuname[/size]
With this amazingly creative entry:
Here’s some advice:
When casting a spell, Enunciate well Or bad things are sure to transpire.
When casting a curse, Or something much worse, Please make sure your wand doesn’t backfire.
People with scars Are sure to go far But they carry the world on their shoulders.
A man with no nose Who murders in droves Is a problem as big as a boulder. ________________________________________
Harry snorted and crushed the parchment in his hand. His poetry skills were worse than Hagrid’s common sense. Tossing the offending poem into the fireplace, he stood and stretched, already planning his escape to Hogsmeade.

Boss Nio - Puff Mafia
With this winning entry:
Voldermort gathered his forces in his lair. There had been a rumour going about that he had an extremely important mission that required only the best of the best so for days, Death Eaters had been up and beyond the call of duty, each hoping to gain this special priviledge, whatever it was.
Malfoy in particular was desperate. He needed this lifeline, to get back close to his Master. Too many wrongs had happened to him and he felt like he was slowly being excluded whilst being made a mockery.
Voldermort spoke. The words? "Time for a holiday my minions."

Prompt: Dear Diary
This week saw two entries come in, both being from two completely opposite ends of the spectrum - where one was light-hearted and funny, the other was darker and more serious. Both were very good in their own rights. But because this was a challenge and there has to be one winner, this week's winner is:
hel[/size]
With this winning entry:
I know the war’s raging outside the castle’s walls. But all I know is the war raging within them, the constant struggle just to exist. But I know that however bad it is in here, it’s ten times worse out there.
And Harry hasn’t backed down; so neither shall I.
I watched Harry grow up surrounded by people- everyone wanting something from him. It was never that way for me; I’ve never felt that pressure. My friends never laughed at me to my face, but I could feel them doing it behind my back. I never really minded, I hadn’t earned their respect; I didn’t want it. I never envied Harry’s attention, I was always slightly daunted by it. I dreaded it even, because I didn’t think I’d ever be worthy of it.
It’s only now that I understand what it was like for Harry, and I find it odd sometimes that I’m not as fazed by it as I thought I would be. I know what must be done, so I do it. There’s not that hesitance I thought there would be, not the fear. I’m just doing the right thing by the students. And by Harry. Especially Harry.
Please take a moment to congratulate both the participants and then head over to the next challenge, for yet another shot at gaining some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Attitude
And this week's winner is:
asuname[/size]
Please take a moment to congratulate her for writing this winning entry:
I flicked my tail across the floor, sending small puffs of dust floating into the hallway air. Yawning impressively, I stood; my muscles rippling beneath my sleek, shiny, ginger coat. Then, I stretched my legs to prevent any injury during my rounds. Stalking down the hallway, I sniffed at the air, making sure that my territory had not been invaded by pets from other houses. I did this patrol everyday: it kept our common room safe. No one had ever asked, but I took on the great responsibility. Why? I will tell you why.
I was Crookshanks. I had cattitude.

Prompt: Ghosts
And this week's winner is:
euca
With this winning entry:
They are coming.
I know because they come every night, in black robes with their hooded faces and eyes that are dark abysses holding memories of a past I wish to forget.
Fred, Sirius, Professor Moody, Snape...
I know they aren’t real; just hollow imitations of the people they once were; but in their presence, my fear is almost tangible. I am scared because they remind me of everything that happened and embody everyone who died so that I could live.
“Ghosts are living memories of the dead,” I remember.
They are ghosts of my past, and they are coming.

Prompt: Comeback
And this week's winner is:
Sadira Black
With this winning entry: He was tired of being made fun of every day, of being ridiculed and made a circus object. He was tired of the pointing, the laughing, the sneers. He was tired of everything. But most of all, he was tired of not being noticed by the one person that he thought actually cared. He had made his choice. There was no turning back now. He would show them all. They’d regret they had ever laughed at his misery, and that they would always fear him. He was sure of that. Nobody would ever again forget the name of Severus Snape.

Prompt: Routine
And this week's winner is:
AutumnBreeze[/size]
With this winning entry:
Deadened eyes.
That was what he saw every time he came here. He would stare into their vacant faces, wondering if they could even understand what he was saying. Shyly accepting their old, used candy wrappers, he would chatter on about his day, his grandmother standing nearby shaking her head. It was the same routine, over and over again, uselessly talking to his parents, hoping against hope that they would perk up and respond.
But they never did. The cycle was never broken, his grandmother never stopped shaking her head, and he never gave up. Neville was better than that.

Prompt: Watch
And this week's winner is:
carma09[/size]
With this winning entry:
Silence is terrible. Even more so in a tense atmosphere.
Molly Weasley sat at her kitchen table with her daughter awaiting the rest of the Order to get back from maneuvering Harry from the Dursleys. She checked to make sure she had the essentials laid out. Her clock in the hall let a chime, letting her know another hour had gone by. She was getting anxious, but there was nothing she could do but watch and wait. She hated it with a passion, but the only thing she could do was watch her magic clock and pray everything turned alright.

Prompt: Race
And this week's winner is:
Sadira Black[/size]
With this winning entry:
Harry’s breathing sped up as he pushed his limbs to move faster than he thought humanely possible. At a time like this when his nerves were already frazzled, he didn’t trust himself to apparate for the risk of splinching himself in a moment of lost concentration was too high. All he had to do was make it back to the house to floo to the hospital where Ginny was. It was a race against the clock and his wife would never forgive him if he missed the birth of their first child on account that he couldn’t run fast enough.

Prompt: Hidden And this week's winner is: Euca[/size] With this winning entry: You can run, but you can’t hide.
He wrapped the cloak tightly around his shoulders and marveled at the truth of that statement. For years, he had run and concealed himself in a corner of the world, desperate to escape that which haunted him. But now the time was close when he would have to come out of his hiding place and embrace that which every mortal must. Death mocked him, knowing he couldn’t hide from it for eternity. But he still had time left to accept the inevitability of death. Till then, he would wait inside his cloak. Hidden.Please take a moment to congratulate her and then head towards the latest drabble challenge, for yet another shot at gaining some glory, some house points and some galleons!

Prompt: Frozen
And this week's winner is:
puelladeorum[/size]
With this winning entry:
The house had been frozen. The rubble still lay amongst the uncut grass, and the top floor had never been repaired. Only time had touched it in the past sixteen years. Nature had run its usual course. It was now covered in snow, and its terrain had been left to chance. But, it was as frozen as it could be without the use of a stasis charm. The house had become a monument of their sacrifice. It was tangible evidence of the violence that had been wrought. It was simply a frozen reminder of the terror that had once been.

Before I announce the winner, I'd like to say that the results this week were INCREDIBLY close. Great job everyone! Each entry was excellent.
Prompt:
And this week's winner is:
Sadira Black[/size]
With this winning entry:
Love He looked forlornly at the picture in his hands. It was a simple muggle photograph, so naturally it didn't move. A smile was frozen on the red-haired woman's face, and her green eyes sparkled with laughter. Love swelled in his chest as he looked at Lily's face, but it was nearly overpowered by the sorrow that threatened to drown him. It had been years since her death, and yet the feeling had never gone away. In his heart, he knew he'd never love another woman again. Not because he wasn't incapable of love, but because no other woman was Lily.
Stare As Minerva called Harry Potter's name from the list of first years to be sorted, Snape's head snapped up from glaring at his plate. He was startled to say the least. He was almost an exact carbon copy of his father. But as Snape took a closer look at the boy, he noticed something unsettling. His eyes. Lily's eyes. He felt a pang of regret fill him as the startling green eyes flooded his mind with reminders. And even though the eyes of his first, and only, love made him feel like breaking down, he couldn't help but to stare.
Reflection He hated him. Severus Snape hated Harry Potter with a passion. Deep in his heart he knew why, though he would never admit it to anyone. Not even himself. Harry was the spitting image of James, that one reason was enough for Snape to hate Harry. The fact that he had no respect for authority was another good one. But the real reason Severus Snape hated his student so much more than he had ever hated anyone was because every time he looked at Harry’s eyes, he saw the clear reflection of how Lily viewed him in her final days.
Why Every time he had to look at those eyes, Lily’s, a pang of regret and sorrow filled his chest. It was suffocating, like he was being pulled underwater and drowned. Some days it was easier to get by, others he wanted to kill himself. All he could do was ask himself the unanswered questions. Why? Why did he say that one word to her? Why did he go and tell his master that there was a prophecy? Why didn’t he protect her? There were so many “why’s”, and he couldn’t for the life of him answer any of them truthfully.
Home Snape wheezed a shaky breath. He could feel the life slipping from him as the blood seeped through the wound created by Nagini. He wouldn't last much longer now. Even though he knew death was inevitable now, he had a smile on his face. A smile that hadn't been present for years. It wasn't a smirk like he normally would have on his face. It was a genuine show of happiness. Anyone else would have been afraid. But Snape wasn't. As the life drained from him, he looked at Harry's eyes. Lily's eyes. He was finally going home to her.
Please take a moment to congratulate her and then head towards the latest drabble challenge, for yet another shot at gaining some glory, some house points and some galleons!
