Ten Prompts in Search of Their Authors (E.T.A.)

Jan 14, 2007 22:59

Part of my writing process, when I can't get any writing done, is to write random prompts. Here are ten, which you should feel free to take. If you do take one, please post your result (or, if it's long, a link to it) in comments. (I'll update this post to reflect your offering.)

( Please find the prompts and links to the responses to them under the cut. )

master list, fest, ten prompts

Dear Mrs. Snape,

We are pleased to inform you that we have post-humously cleared your son, one Severus Snape (b. 1959 d. 1998), of all charges regarding the slaying of one Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore (b. 1840 d. 1997), high treason against the Orders of Merlin and Ministry of Magic, conspiracy to commit murder, abduction of a minor, and undue influence of a minor. However, his secondary offense of treason against the Ministry of Magic, in the matters of the years 1977 through 1980 are still under review.

We also regret to inform you that, despite your ardent reuqests, we refuse to charge Harry James Potter, Order of Merlin First Class, with conspiracy to commit murder and murder in the first degree or crimes of war (re: torture) in regard to your son's untimely death. Our most sincere apologies.

Sincerely,
Rufus Scrimgeour
Minister of Magic

I apologise for the woe.

Damn bureaucrats! Thank you for playing. :D

Oh... it started sad (learning that Snape was dead), then got sadder (Harry tortured and killed him). All packed in a highly frustrating letter from the Minister of Magic (I wanted to either punch him or feed him a mystery potion, preferably something Snape made). It was all very despairing... but I, strangely enough, liked it. :)

It's definitely plausible; I'm just hoping for living!Snape. *g*

I'm desperately hoping Harry won't kill Snape in the seventh book. I can almost accept Harry dying in a blaze of glory (:p) at the end of the series, while I don't even want to think about the possibility of Snape's death. I wonder and worry about the last book...

I read this and the killer!Luna one right underneath, and got overloaded with the dark themes; had to take a break. :) I'm recovered now (amazing power of coffee & M&Ms). So back to reading!

What a thoroughly ministry-like letter. Bastards!

So much backstory here, I'm intrigued. Well done!
