Challenge: “Born To Be Bad”
House: Hufflepuff
Word count: 100 for each
Title: No Explanation
Characters: Lupin, Snape
Rating: R for violence
Warning: descriptions of injuries, implied torture
“For god’s sake, at least tell me why.” Sharp pains, dull throbbing, old bruises fading under fresh ones, and no explanation, which somehow made it hurt even more. “I know you’re still loyal to the Order. If you need to convince Voldemort--”
“It has nothing to do with that mad freak.”
“Then why? Severus, you could end up in Azkaban for this.”
“No one is going to take the word of a werewolf over that of a war hero, which is what I’ll be when this is all over.”
“So why?”
No explanation other than Snape’s ragged, eager breaths.
Title: Dedication To A Cause
Characters: Anthony Goldstein, Hermione Granger
Rating: R if it makes sense, PG-13 if it doesnt.
Warning: AU for timeline?
A/N: Taking another character I love and making him horrible......This is a tangent from some fics that
1_bad_idea and I were working on awhile back.
It wasn’t right that a Gryffindor was at the top of every class, Anthony thought as he followed Hermione out of the library. The favoritism shown by the headmistress was blatant and unfair, and the Ravenclaws were simply trying to level the playing field.
The anonymous notes Padma and Ernie had been sending to Granger weren’t having the effect they’d hoped for. Perhaps a practical demonstration of the obscenities described in the notes would more effectively destroy Granger’s concentration, and consequently, her NEWTs scores.
Polyjuice potion and a Silencing charm in a darkened corridor might begin to set things right.
Title: The Threat
Characters: Ginny, Ron
Rating: PG-13 for language
A/N: And an attempt at humor in the midst of all of this horror.
“Ginny. Please, you’ve made a mistake.” Ron was as white as milk behind his freckles.
Ginny scowled at him. “I don’t think so. Plenty of people saw you. Hermione’s been crying all afternoon.”
“It was business! Undercover, for work! Oh, god, I can explain it all later, but please, just put them back!”
Ginny swore, but flicked her wand at Ron. He collapsed with relief. “It was top secret; I couldn’t tell anyone.”
Ginny sighed. “Well, at least now you know that I was serious when I said I’d hex your bollocks off if you ever repeated the Lavender fiasco.”
