I have a stack of WsIP, accumulating for months or years, that I'll probably never finish. So I thought I'd start posting them up, and clear out some head space for things I really do want to focus on.
Nearly Headless Nick's Letter
From chapter 8 of CoS: "You look troubled, young Potter," said Nick, folding a transparent letter as he spoke and tucking it inside his doublet. "So do you," said Harry. "Ah," Nearly Headless Nick waved an elegant hand, "a matter of no importance. . . . It's not as though I really wanted to join. . . . Thought I'd apply, but apparently I 'don't fulfill requirements' -"
Nick's request to join the Headless Hunt. The "chortles" and "panderings" wouldn't've been in the final drawing.
Davey Gudgeon's Wounds
From chapter 10 of PoA: "They planted the Whomping Willow the same year that I arrived at Hogwarts. People used to play a game, trying to get near enough to touch the trunk. In the end, a boy called Davey Gudgeon nearly lost an eye, and we were forbidden to go near it."
