Title: Lights Out
House: Slytherin
Words: 100
Rating: G
Witch: Delores
Rhyme: Bitch

In what might be considered by some her ‘tadpole days’ Delores was considered pretty but ultimately a bitch.
In fifth year she was made a Prefect, the school fell under her rule. There was a much greater fear of being caught by her than there was of the caretaker.
She made blackmail seem pleasant.
The punishment she dealt was prefaced with charming sweetness. No one ever repeated their offence. So she invented new rules.
She was disappointed when she didn’t become Head Girl.
Until she found fun that could be had when holding second place, just out of the light.

Title: Rationalizing
House: Slytherin

Witch: Petunia
Rhyme: Spinach

Apple-banana for Dudley and spinach for Harry, Petunia decided.
Her conscience gave twinge.
So she did what she had done ever since the boy had arrived, complete with a threatening letter from some deranged lunatic, she rationalized.
Sternly she reminded it they had never planed on another baby. She added Pampers to the cart.
That boy never ate his food anyway and the spinach baby food was on sale.
That night she gave Harry a spoonful of apple-banana mush ultimately relieved when he spat it out.
The next time she went shopping her conscience kept quiet…
Well she had tried.
