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

They were not good ideas. Even he had to admit that. They were, as it were, on par with the goat fiasco of '36. There was one difference in the whole affair. A fairly important one even in Aberforth's unraveling mind.
The singular important difference between then and now was Albus. Or rather, lack thereof.
Albus wasn't with him to point out what bad ideas they were. Aberforth didn't have a reason not test them out. He wasn't particularly good at moralizing. That's what Albus had always been for ( ... )

I felt a bit sad for Aberforth, at the end...

3. Luna had never killed anyone before. She'd never even killed a fruit fly; those she bottled with a sprig of mint along with the fireflies.
Luna, however, was not one for never. Just because she'd never done something once didn't mean she wouldn't do it, ever. Circumstances inspired action that before might've been disfavored.
It was automatic, the way her arm raised, in a speed too quick for the eye. And when she flicked her wrist, she didn't think twice, or even at all. Her cloaked adversary was a fourth-year Slytherin she only knew vaguely as Eloise. Though from a snatch of memory, Luna recalled her dark features, the constant sulk and quietly seething rage.
People say things like "never regret".
But Luna's not one for never. And even if such a thing could be considered justifiable under the circumstances, regret was a parallel experience that couldn't cancel the other. Nor could it guarantee a never again.

I like the last paragraph a lot. Thanks for sharing. :)

"Dear Mrs. Snape, . . . ."
Severus scowled and threw the letter in the rubbish bin.
Staying hidden was less difficult than most realized. The Ministry was looking for a man. He never wore makeup. He didn't use Polyjuice. He just put on his mother's old clothes and "Siobhan" Snape ran his errands.
He had shapely legs and his mother had very little in the way of breasts so it worked; no one noticed.
Plus, it helped him separate the real from the junk mail, although, he thought now, he really should have chosen a name with a different initial.

People always see what they expect, right? ;)

The whole arrangement was perfect. With him in the drivers seat, getting to shag two incredibly sexy people whenever he wanted too. With only the occasional wish that Hermione was as enthusiastic about going down on him as Harry was. Of course, he would eventually have to make a choice inbetween them. If Harry lived, he'd chose him because he liked the idea of being bonded to a powerful and rich wizard who had no Slytherin tendencies. If Harry died, he'd settle for Hermione. If only because she was a good shag and raring to go anytime he was.
For now though, he could definitely live with having both of them anytime he wanted.

It'd serve him right if Harry and Hermione get together and dump Ron. Or, even better, if Harry falls for Severus and Hermione meets someone caring who wouldn't be just settling for her. :p

Yes, I'd say he's earned the right to be smug after pulling this off. All my wishes came true. With so much hilariousness! Thank you. (My face hurts from smiling.)
