We first wanted to use one like those we already had for the previous challenges,
But I think Unicor's idea is great.
Only addition: No house can get more than half of the points (ie. highest score for a house is 25;
Something like
Gryff 28
Huffy 12
Slyth 10
Would not be allowed, would be kinda unfair)

Ok, when I posted the Gryffindor entry on Monday, I read through it and noticed some mistakes straight after but when I went to edit them I couldn't because the 15min time had expired so I PM'ed Airangel to make the alterations I wanted. This was all before the deadline But, she sent me a PM eariler saying that she's just gone to Switzerland and can only do it afterwards hence it will be too late so I'm just going to post the correct bits here to show that I know what was wrong and wanted to change it, not that it was just wrong so I hope the judges will take that into consideration when marking it.
Third paragraph:
He had marched upto Salazar, who was idly pulling the feathers out of a stuffed bird in the common of his House aptly named Slytherin, after the master... being the snake he is.
“Blast it Salazar! This has to stop, this is the third half blood child that has been killed! I warned you before!” Godric took out his wand and a beam of light flew towards Salazar. A vision flashed before Godric's eyes; Nina, an 11 year old half muggle witch he had found lying on Hogwarts grounds..
“ You almost killed me Godric!!!"
“I’m drawing the line Salazar!!! A line that would distinguish people like me from people like you”. Godric snarled viciously as another flash of light hit Salazar directly in the chest.
“What the hell are trying to do Godric, murder your your (please delete the second 'your') best friend!?" This time Salazar didn't hesitate to fire back at his attacker with his own spells.
“You are a fool Godric! Half-bloods and muggles will ruin our world and will be your fault”.
”If anyone destroys our community it will be YOU Salazar”.
Flashes of green and red light haphazardly flew around the room, reflecting off ornaments and breaking others so that the entire space was nothing but carnage and destruction. The two assailants dripping blood from different wounds but still hell bent on fighting, nothing but hatred and determination in their expressions... then a look of worry fleetingly covered Salazar's face for he had heard the coming footsteps first realising them to be of the other two founders and he knew he couldn't defeat all three of them together.
“You've won this battle Godric, but it's not over, my heir will win this war..” he chuckled evily "and he shall rise within a secret chamber... behind a secret door" a terrible laughter erupted from his lips and in that moment, Salazar was gone.
Last paragraph:
Ah Rowena, even though that last comment should have stung me, your intelligence and grace with which you comfort me do well to keep me in check. Godric blinked again, willing away thoughts and memories, he realised that he had to stop day dreaming and start paying attention.
"What's done is done now and I can't undo it, we'll just have to continue as normal, no, even better, to show everyone that we are more then capable of running this school by ourselves." I ( please change that 'I' to 'He') tried to stand up and almost fell over but their hands caught him in time.
"You should really stay here Godric"
"You're right as usual Helga, but I can't and I wont. I am resolved to get back to work and since we can no long (please change the 'long' to 'longer') apparate or disapparate in our own school anymore for fear of a certain someone's attack, I would greatly appreciate it if you ladies would be so kind as to oblige and help me to my office"
It was obvious they didn't like the idea but what could they do, they knew the truth of his words and so in an awkward stumbling trio they made it out of the medical ward, with all that they had left hanging precariously in the balance, knowing not what fate had in store, only that they had to be strong, for them, for Hogwarts... for everything.
I think they should be disqualified already
They're well over the deadline
Anyways, I've been insanely busy.. I'm just chancing a few minutes online right now... How is the judging going? Does every house have a judging prefect yet? I know Hufflepuff is having some prefect probs, but after this challenge, I suggest they re-vote... only if they want to, of course
Actually Tassie, I wanted to talk to you about that I think we will need to find another prefect if Kit isn't going to be on. Does it have to be a boy? (lol)
