Prompt: Intoxication
And this week's winner is:
carma09[/size]
With this winning entry:
Ever since his twin died, George Weasley had fallen into a slump. It was something his mother had tried to get him out of, but he simply didn’t feel like going out and meeting people. All he wanted to do was sit in his empty flat and sulk. After months of coaxing, Harry and Ron finally got him to go out one night. It wasn’t nearly as bad as George thought it would be. He found he found this new part of his life intoxicating and wondered why it took him so long to get back into the real world.

Prompt: Holiday
And this week's winner is:
Yucca[/size]
With this winning entry:
Ron loved the holidays. They brought the sound of laughter and Mum’s playful nagging, the smell of her delicious cooking, and the promise of another year full of challenges.
This summer, though, the laughter was lost in their cries as they mourned Fred’s death. Their once warm and welcoming home was now a sad house, with windows clouded by grief, and shadowy corners that hid memories of a happy family.
He faced the challenge of dealing with his grief and putting on a brave face; of surviving each day. Never had he waited so eagerly for the holidays to end.

Prompt: Patronus
And this week's winner is:
Yucca[/size]
With this winning entry:
“Choose your strongest, happiest memory,” Severus said.
“I’m trying,” Draco replied, grumbling.
“You’re not trying hard enough” was Snape’s timely retort.
Draco had no dearth of happy memories, but he still hadn’t found one strong enough to give form to his currently wispy Patronus.
Exhausted, he decided to try the charm one last time. The memory he chose was a recent one; one that he had never considered in all these weeks, when it was most glaringly apparent. It was of the day his father had returned from Azkaban and seen the mark on his arm, then proceeded to do something highly uncharacteristic- he had placed his hand on Draco’s shoulder and whispered “That’s my boy.” There was no greater pleasure Draco had ever experienced than seeing the proud look on his father’s face.
Closing his eyes, he said, “Expecto Patronum”. He waited a heartbeat before opening his eyes and seeing a silver eagle suspended in the sky; seemingly delicate enough to be dispelled by a single breath. He had imagined it would be a dragon; maybe a snake. The eagle seemed fitting though; a reflection of the grace and majesty of the man he admired more than any other.

Prompt: Secrets
And this week's winner is:
Taco[/size]
With this winning entry:
Many Death Eaters had secrets. Lucius and Narcissa were two of those Death Eaters. They had a secret not even Draco knew. Only one living person other than themselves knew this secret. They had a daughter. They had given her up when she was a baby, to keep her from becoming a Death Eater. Their daughter looked like them, but she also looked like her adopted family. Gray eyes, platinum blonde hair, and the trademark Malfoy smirk. Yet nobody noticed how much she looked like her older brother. And now, Luna was in their cellar, kidnapped from her adopted father.

Prompt: New Beginnings
And this week's winner is:
Wolfy[/size]
With this winning entry:
Tom looked slowly around at his tiny room within the orphanage. He took note of the peeling wallpaper and the rusted metal frame of his bed with a kind of savage pleasure. Someone else would be sleeping here. It was someone else’s turn to suffer. He wouldn’t be back for until next summer. He’d be at Hogwarts, learning magic and proving his worth. Nobody here cared for him, but at Hogwarts…he’d impress everyone with his skill and they’d fight over the privilege of being his friend. Taking his worn out suitcase, he closed the door and left with a grin.

Prompt: Home
And this week's winner is:
Taco[/size]
With this winning entry:
She looked around the empty room, noting the plain, bare walls. She imagined the room with the colors red and gold, for Gryffindor. There would be a crib pressed in the corner of the room, and of course a changing station beside it. There would be a mobile above the bed, a quidditch mobile. She could tell by how much he moved inside of her that her child would be very active. She kept imagining things until she heard a voice.
“Molly dear, are you sure you want to buy this house?” her husband asked.
“Yes, Arthur. This is home.”

Prompt: Magic
And this week's winner is:
Sadira Black[/size]
With this winning entry:
Harry looked in amazement at the plethora of wands in the old man’s shop. He picked up one and waved it around. Nothing. He tried another with the same result. After trying four more wands, he wondered whether his letter had been a mistake and that this was a joke. He sighed and took the new wand he was given in his hand. He didn’t think it would work, but when he waved it a fountain of blue sparks flew out of the tip of the piece of wood. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Maybe he was magic after all.

Prompt: Belief
And this week's winner is:
Sadira Black[/size]
With this winning entry:
His entire life was in shambles. The love of his life was dead, he was sword to protect his worst enemy’s brat, and now he was being manipulated by an old man who now controlled him. And it was all because of the stupid belief that Slytherins and Purebloods were better than everyone else. He’d learned his lesson though. He wouldn’t believe anything anyone told him anymore. From now on, he was on his own. He would believe his own thoughts and no one else’s. Not after he’d had he faith and hopes dashed by those he cared for most.

Prompt: Chicken
And this week's winner is:
Sadira Black[/size]
With this winning entry:
Chicken. Coward. Scaredy-cat. Severus Snape had been called many things in his life, but these weren't common among the myriad of names that had been directed towards him. No one dared to call the bat of the dungeons a chicken. He swore to himself long ago that he wasn't going to be afraid of anything ever again. He had nothing to be afraid of. The only thing he had to lose was his life, and he felt that his life was worthless now. Whoever ended it would be doing the world a favor. No. He wasn't a chicken. Just broken.

Prompt: Lost
And this week's winner is:
Taco[/size]
With this winning entry:
The young blonde dove into the water, the chill of it cooling her to her bones. She started swimming down, as far as she could, before beginning her search. She screamed as a grindylow grabbed onto her foot. She twisted around, pulled her foot back, and aimed a kick at it’s face. She heard a sickening crack come with the impact and grinned with cold satisfaction before continuing her search. She knew she didn’t have much time left, but she had to keep searching. She saw the object of her search, but her time was up. Fluer’s sister was lost.

Prompt: Smile :)
And this week's winner is:
Sadira[/size]
With this winning entry:
Hermione looked down at the little smile that made her heart stop every time she saw it. Her baby was a miracle. She and Draco thought that they would never be able to have children after all of the torture that she was put through during the war by his aunt, but now their baby girl, Lori, was a healthy and very happy baby. It seemed like she was always smiling at them, making them even more grateful for their miracle. She wanted to imprint the image of that toothless smile into her brain. She never wanted to forget it.

Prompt: Sparkle
And this week, we have a tie!
Sadira Black[/size]
With this winning entry:
The tears that rolled off of her cheeks in waves glittered in the sunlight. Hermione Granger had lost so much in the war, and as she sat by the lake at what once was Hogwarts, she couldn't contain her emotions. Another glistening tear splashed against her hand, but she was beyond caring. She'd never again see that shining smirk when he knew he'd won, she'd never see the way he'd smile a genuine smile when he won his father's approval and she'd never see the sparkle in his eyes when he pulled her close and kissed her. He was gone. And, Boss Nio[/size]
With this winning entry:
Train slowing to a halt, the usual rabble of students made their way off for a new year. Tripping as they stepped off the train, the new first years looked around, dazed at the station. For an apparently fully-magical village, there wasn’t really anything of considerable magical power.
But as they left the station and the first gaze upon Hogwarts was revealed, it was highly safe to say, this was beyond magical. This truly was unbelievable.
Lights at the castle shown out, like beacons, calling you in: ready to nurture your magic.
Enticing that little spark of excitement to grow.

Prompt: Moving On
And this week's winner is: Sadira Black
With this winning entry:
Harry took a deep breath and forced himself to move forward. The red flowers in his hands were shaking as he sank to his knees with tears in his eyes. He gently ran his fingers over the name engraved on the headstone, and let out a shuddering breath. Ginny would want him to be happy, even though she could no longer bring him that happiness. It wasn’t like Clara was taking his now deceased wife’s place. Nobody would ever be able to do that. It was just time Harry moved on with his life instead of living in the past.

Prompt: Symphony
And this week's winner is: Euca
With this winning entry:
He stands in the front with arms outstretched, holding his wand. He tips it just a little- fires the first spell- and the song is begun. There’s the sound of spells being fired, and that of bodies falling to the ground as the battle begins. There’s a low humming; an incessant sobbing as people watch their loved ones fall. If one listens carefully, one can hear the steady, continuous beat of the clash of wills as people fight to protect what they believe in. And he stands in the midst of this war, orchestrating this symphony of death and destruction.

Prompt: Pure
And this week's winner is: Hedwig
With this wining entry:
Ron kissed Hermione when the first flakes of snow fell. Soon, they were having quite the time snogging on the park bench.
After some time, Hermione noticed the thin layer of snow.
“We’ve been here all along. How are there footsteps already?”
Suddenly Ron was hit by a snowball from behind.
“Harry,” he yelled, “go away, or I’ll give you the cold shoulder!”
“This is snow joking matter, Ron!” Hermione couldn’t help but giggle at her own pun.
And to think I stole Potter’s invisibility cloak for this... Draco thought, crushed. Footsteps disappeared, snogging resumed, and the snow was pure.

Prompt: Ballad
And this week's winner is: Sadira Black
With this winning entry:
Hermione didn’t understand ballads. What was the point to turning a person’s life story into a song when history books did the job just fine. Naturally, books told the story in more detail and got the information perfect. Ballads on the other hand could be written up by anyone, and the facts could be skewed one way or the other. Books could be trusted, and ballads could not. In books there were references and statistics and other things that proved the truth! She just couldn’t understand why ballads even existed when they weren’t needed. There wasn’t any sense to it.
