Title: Loneliness
Summary: What's it like, to be a ghost?
Characters/Pairings: A random ghost
Genre: Drama?
Rating/Warnings: G
Word Count: 100
I wish I could see my friends again, I wish I could talk to them again. Of course, I can go through walls now and watch the world change, but is it worth it? I really don't know. People who are not used to me, are afraid of me. Everytime I make new people I like, I know that one day they will be gone, too, so can I even build up a real friendship to them? What's it like, to be a ghost, I get asked so much. Is it exciting, or is it fun? No. It's lonely.

Genre: Humour
Rating/Warnings: G
Word Count: 100
"Mum! What on earth did you do? Have you gone mad?" Nymphadora couldn't suppress a cough as she stormed out of her room, her eyes dangerously glaring at her mother. I know we're in trouble right now, but that doesn't have to mean you should poison us all!"
Andromeda gave a little sigh. "If only you knew, Dora..." she replied, sinking down to a chair. "I've tried everything, but... I can't succeed. I just can't!"
"Then why don't you just consider the other option?"
"What do you mean? Is there..."
"Just call a bloody exterminator and let him get rid of the bugs!"

They will never catch me. Not even that little know-it-all Hermione Granger who cannot stop praising ehrself for discovering every secret. But no, not mine, she will never find out what makes me know everything they all have been trying to hide from me, never! I am brilliant. I deserve fame, more than any of my colleagues do, I deserve to be praised! Brilliant... Yes, I am brilliant, brilliant enough to even survive now, as a beetle, brilliant enough to never get captured or crushed. No one will find out about my secret, no one will ever suspect a beetle!

Word Count: 100
"Lucius?"
"Yes, dear?"
"Mind if I ask what you are planning to do with that dead parrot?" Narcissa wouldn't even want to look at the animal her husband held in his hands, only sat down right next to him, eyes narrowed.
Nervously, Lucius cleared his throat. "You know, Cissy..." he said, speaking slowly as if he didn't know how to express himself. "Do you remember that the Dark Lord sent us out to seek animals of all kinds?"
Narcissa's eyes widened. "That ridiculous assignment where you had to find him a new pet?"
"And did you know that Nagini is a very jealous snake?"
Title: Fury

"My God, Lucius..." Slowly Bellatirx turned around to look into her brother-in-law's eyes. "You truly married a fury!"
He would only laugh, a quiet, frightened laugh. "At least I'm not related to her! She's your sister, in case you've forgotten that!"
"Shh!" Bellatrix hissed, putting her ear against the door again. "I can't understand what she's saying now!"
She couldn't suppress a wince as she heard her sister's voice again, yelling like she'd never yelled before.
"I don't care if you're Lord Voldemort!" she shouted, not letting her collocutor interrupt her. "You are not going to wear dirty shoes in my house!"
