Oh... thanks. 🙄 😛 RebPhoe, I'm sure that we'll get everything straightened out when we tally the scores and average them. I think that there is going to be two judges per house, and two different judges from two different houses will judge each story. We'll add both their scores together and divide them. I'm not exactly for sure how the 150 came into it... but I think that it's up to 50 points. 🙂

Please, please PLEASE!! POST THE STORIES THE NORMAL WAY. Keep the download thing, whatever, but Post the stories HERE, like we've always done with each challenge.
If you don't want to do this RTO, send all of the stories to me and I will post them myself. I keep asking, and keep asking, and yet and still, I see no stories posted here.
Better yet, each house, please send me your stories for your house and I will post them here myself.
We have got to stay organized and everytime I come in here, there is another problem. I KEEP asking for the stories to be posted here! What is so wrong with it?? Just post it!
Sorry to sound so mean, but I'm away and I'm still trying to keep things organized. I don't mean to sound bossy, pushy or anything, and I've affended anyone, sorry in advanced, but please, just post all of the stories here. If it takes 3 post to post Huffepuff's story, go right ahead. If it takes 5 posts to post Gryffindor's story- do it.
I can post the Hufflepuff Story 🙂
A Day In The Life Of A Hufflepuff
by: JessieSparrow and ArrghPirateGirl and one paragraph by Hobbit_Dude
(Note: RougePW25 is the Head Master)
It was a day just like any other day when Jessie woke up. There was some sort of weather outside, there was talk abound, and as she stepped into the Hufflepuff common room there was a smell of something in the air. Since she was a Hufflepuff no one really cared nor knew anything about her or her house, even the Hufflepuffs really didn't know. They were all too interested in what the Gryffindors, house of the great Harry Potter, or Slytherins, house of the bad-asses, were doing. People even cared more about those nerds in Ravenclaw. No one cared what motivated Hufflepuffs to get up and live everyday. Could it be the mockery from the other houses, who thought that Hufflepuff was the house for the witches and wizards that were almost muggle? Or the constant feeling of neglection from the rest of the school. Well on this fine day Jessie decided it was her mission in life to find out what made Hufflepuff so damn special.
Jessie made her way over to the school library hoping she might find something there. After half an hour of looking through thick dusty boring old books her stomach started rumbling for food. She made her way to the great hall where she took a seat at the Hufflepuff table next to APG, an annoying first year who had nearly burnt the whole table last week trying to turn her pancakes into fire breathing rabbits. Today she was poking her wand into her porridge but the only affect was the milk going off and making quite a bad smell. "Well I'm definitely not going to find the answer to my search here" she thought to herself miserably. So after a hurried breakfast she made her way back to the Hufflepuff common room to see if another Hufflepuff could help her in her quest for the day.
As Jessie sat on the only couch not completely covered with homework she glanced around looking for the one person she thought could help in her search, Hobbit_Dude. Just then her fellow prefect came stumbling into the common room.
"Hey!" she walked over to him.
"Hey...is something wrong?"
"Does something have to be wrong for me to talk to you?"
"Well no...I guess-"
"Yea you might want to keep and eye on APG...but I was wondering if you had any idea what makes Hufflepuff so special?"
"Why?"
"Well its sort of a project Im working on"
"Like homework?"
"Well um no" Jessie looked up at Hobbit and noticed he seemed more interested in watching a flies progress across the room rather than listen to her explain how this isn't work. "Yea you know it actually is homework...sort of an extra credit project...so um can you help?"
He didn't avert his eyes from the fly but answered anyway, "Well I'm gonna go eat but I'll get back to you on that" He left the common room leaving Jessie staring after him with a lack of words.
As Hobbit left APG skipped into the common room happily her hair a rather gross orange color. Spotting Jessie APG happily skipped over.
"Hey Jessie! What are you doing? Can I help? Isn't it just wonderful here? Can I hang out with you? Do you think my hair is a bit odd?"
Not knowing what question to answer first Jessie just sat a stared at APG for a while before saying "Uh yeah you can help me..."
"Oh Great I promise you wont regret it. Ill just go put my stuff away," and with that she ran up the stairs to her dormitory.
Jessie already could feel herself regretting it but her face lightened up when Hobbit entered the common room.
"Here are some books..Dunno if they will help", he said flopping down onto a sofa and getting himself comfy.
Jessie looked through some of the books. The House Founders, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Hogwarts A History, Jessie groaned. "Great not only will these books not help but they'll bore me to death," she thought before turning and saying to Hobbit.
"Thanks...This will be a uh....real help"
Jessie sat staring at the covers of the books for awhile not wanting to make Hobbit seem useless even though she had already gone through these books in the library. Hobbit didn't seem to get the message that she didn't need his support of sitting across the room making paper air planes. She finally opened the books and started flipping through pages. She looked up at the clock after what seemed like thirty minutes of mind numbing page flipping and realized she had reached a grand total of three minutes of mind numbing page flipping.
Just then APG came bounding down the stairs into the common room.
"I'm back!" APG hopped over the back of the sofa in an attempt to sit next to Jessie but ended up on the floor. By then everyone in the room had started laughing at the oddball.
"Are you ok?" Jessie helped APG onto the sofa
"Yea I'm fine, how are you? Do you still need help? Cause I can help, what do you need help with?" she stared at Jessie smiling and not blinking.
"Um I'm trying to find what's so special about Hufflepuff"
"Well your not going to find anything in these books"
"Well I figured that since I looked through them and-"
"You have to look other places"
"Like where?"
"Well first place I would look is the sorting hats song...that's got loads of information about the houses"
"Well I don't know it off the top of my head"
"O well you must remember parts of it"
"No really I don't..." Just then APG looked off into space.
"I gotta go" she jumped up and raced across the room on her way out she bumped into Hobbit.
"Hey watch where your going! Hey get back here!"
"Hobbit don't be hard on the newbie"
Hobbit just srugged and sat back down glaring at where APG bumped into him. Jessie sighed and tried remebering the hogwarts song. She didn't know how this was going to help her but she had no other way to find out.
"What are you thinking about?", Hobbit asked looking at Jessie curiously.
"Just trying to remeber the Sorting Hat song"
"Your not really taking that ...first years advise are you?"
"Well you don't seem to be a big help at the moment"
"No need to get angry"
"Whatever. Maybe there isn't anything special abouth Hufflepuffs.Maybe we are just a bunch of dummies," and with that Jessie got up and left the common room angrily leaving Hobbit looking very confused. Jessie didn't know why it upset her so much but it did. She found a nice place in the grounds where she just sat and thought about everything.
Hobbit was looking for Jessie when he found her laying on the grounds.
"Erm...sorry Jess, you know, I didn't meant to upset you"
"Well, I'm sorry I was just-" just as Jessie was about to finish the sentence APG arrived.
"Jessie! Hey did the sorting hat song help you in anyway? Did it?"
"APG, sorry but I can't remember the song"
"It's ok Jess, I'll find it just wait here." With that APG went running to the library.
"Oh my god! That girl is driving me crazy!" Jess said. Hobbit was impressed that Jessie, who had always been a good smart rule lover girl, would use that sentence.
"Um...Jess, are you ok?"
"Yeah...yeah...I'm fine, now lets get out of here before APG comes back"
"Ok...hahaha..." When Hobbit and Jessie were walking through the great hall RavenTheOnly and RavenGuardia appeared.
"Oh look RavenTheOnly, it's those two losers from Hufflepuff," RavenGuardia and RavenTheOnly sniggered.
"You better watch your mouth RavenGuardia, RavenTheOnly might be a prefect but your not," Jessie said to RavenGuardia.
"Who do u think you are, you dummy prefect! can't understand why Professor Rogue ever made you a prefect!" said RavenGuardia.
"You asked for it-" Hobbit was cut off from finishing the sentence by RebelPhoenix.
"Don't make a scene Hobbit, come on, and you too Jessie." The crowd began to disperse when RebelPhoenix added, "Oh and before I forget, 10 points from Slytherin." RavenGuardia looked furious, and Jessie and Hobbit were laughing at her.
It was now dinner time and Jessie still had not found out what made Hufflepuff so special. She had decided to take a break and go eat before she continued to search. Dinner was extremely uneventful and filled with thoughts of Jessie's unfinished task, she wasn't the type of person to give up. Just then APG hurried in smacking into several students on her path to the seat next to Jessie.
"Guess what!" Damn that girl has too much energy for anyone's own good. "I think I came up with a theory"
"Ok well can I eat before you go into it?"
"O yea sure!" APG didn't start eating just sat there tapping her fingers impatiently looking around the room like it pained her to sit in one spot for too long. After about 20 seconds of that she decided her time was better spent staring at Jessie as if she could use her mind to make her full. APG didn't have to use her mind after a few glances over and seeing APG staring at her Jessie decided she better go before her young friend exploded. Over in the common room APG had a moldy old piece paper spread out on the table.
"Look! Isn't it great!" APG was beaming like this paper was the best thing in the world.
"Um well it's...uh what is it?"
"It's one of the Sorting Hats songs from a really long time ago!" The look on Jessie's face obviously didn't affect APG at all for she didn't loose any of her enthusiasm.
"Ok well what does it say about Hufflepuff?"
"It says that our house founder took all the rest!"
"Riiiight so it shows that we're just the left over" This however did seem to affect APG.
"Well I didn't think of it like that"
"How else could you think of it?"
"I don't know...I'll go back to the library there has to be something else" APG went running from the room.
"That girl won't give up...and neither will I"
"That's your answer!" a voice out of the corner made Jessie jump and scream. Then from out of the darkness came Hobbit.
"What the hell are you doing sitting in the corner?!"
"The darkness comforts me"
"OK"
"But that's your answer you figured it out, perseverance"
"What?"
"Hufflepuffs don't give up no matter what"
"And they're very loyal friends" APG was muttering loud enough for Hobbit and Jessie to hear her across the room.
"Hey I found a better song...It says Hufflepuffs are very loyal friends"
"Well we found out that Hufflepuffs don't give up" Hobbit replied.
"Well we're just jam packed with great features...like a Dell Laptop which are on sale at the moment don't ya know."
"Really?"
"Yep"
"Wow!"
So with that the Hufflepuffs went to their local Dell store and purchased a nice new Dell Laptop with Pentium 4 processor even though they had no idea what that means. They were jubilant until they got back to school and realized that electronics don't work there, which Jessie should have known having read Hogwarts A History.
There you go. 😄
.....................................................................................................
October 24th, Vanishing Cabinet, 7th floor corridor, 10:59 AM
“Ouch! Get off my back!”
“Sorry Raven!!!”
“SHUT UP both of you! Raven! A.D.! They’ll hear us!”
“Awww stop being paranoid LS!” laughed Raventheonly.
“FINE. If WE’RE caught, its YOUR ASS I’m blaming this on.” LadySlytherin howled.
“Shh…I think I hear someone coming,” whispered A.D.
The three friends were hiding in the vanishing cabinet on the seventh floor, a couple corridors away from the Gryffindor common room. Unfortunately, they had to jump in the cabinet quickly since Filch was round the corner, and each had been forced into a very uncomfortable position.
“Raven…you’re closest to the doors. Can you see anything through the crack?” A.D. inquired.
“Yeah…but, I don’t see…” Raven was cut off by a loud—
“HELLO! Loony Lady, Raven the Nutter and A.D. the—“
“Oh, shut your face Peeves! And keep quiet!” hissed LS. Well, that did not go very well. Peeves never takes to orders well. After one loud raspberry blow, Peeves floated back through the wall.
“Way to keep a lookout, you prat.” A.D. scowled. He shoved his face in front of the crack between the double cabinet doors. “They’ve left they’re common room…I can see them heading down the stairs! But I didn’t see the map in any hands though. The coast is clear.”
The cabinet rocked back and forth a couple times, spitting out A.D., LS, and Raven into a heap on the corridor floor before vanishing.
“D’you think Unicor was telling us the truth?” Raven asked the other two.
“He better have,” said A.D. “Unless he wants to eat out of a tube for the rest of his life. I paid him 5 galleons for that information, mind.”
“Fascinating though your conversation IS...,” started LS. “Would you MIND getting OFF of me please?!”
“Oh! Right then. Sorry bout that.” Raven apologized.
“Never mind,” LS continued. “Okay, so who was it that Unicor said had Map Protecting Duty this week? Tassie was it?”
“Yeah. Raven Guardia said she’d seen a piece of parchment sticking out of Tassie’s pocket in Double Potions last Tuesday. But it could’ve been just spare parchment couldn’t it? Unicor might be playing us all wouldn’t he? What d’you think A.D…uh…A.D??” Raven and LS turned around. A.D. was stiff as a board, an extremely asinine look on his face?
“Tassie?! TASSIE?! The Head Girl from Gryffindor Tassie?” he ejaculated, the inane look still mounted on his face.
“Awww don’t tell me you’re getting cold feet just because she’s a stupid head girl,” said LS exasperatedly. A.D. made a sound between a cough and a grunt; a deep crimson blush started creeping up his face.
“Are you taking the mickey?!” Raven asked uncertainly.
“Oh don’t tell me. Raven you can’t be that thick.” LS scoffed. A look of dawning comprehension spread across Raven’s face.
“You…you mean…he fancies her?!” he exclaimed.
“Oh, very good ten points to you. Now if you don’t mind, I think we better get back to the entrance hall and see if Lady Grim and Raven Guardia have spoken with Binge and Saber yet.
They headed downstairs quietly. Gryffindor were heading out of the castle, which meant they were due in Care of Magical Creatures next. The threesome trucked down the last of the marble staircase, and cautiously out the castle doors. They spotted Laveria and Raven Guardia hiding behind a stone gargoyle.
“Oy, did you see it?” A.D. inquired?
“Yep,” Laveria said triumphantly. “Same ruddy old piece of parchment sticking out of Tassie’s left pocket. Doesn’t she realize how easy it would be to nick something sticking out like that? I mean, honestly.” Raven Guardia nodded her head fervently in agreement.
“Probably too busy talking to Rogggguuuuuueeeeee to notice anything else!” she giggled.
“Wha…ROGUE? But…wh….how…” A.D. started depressedly, alligator tears streaming down his face.
“Oh give it up mate,” said Raven. “She’s out of your league. Plus, she’s told you off 17 times in the past week. Gryffindors and Slytherins don’t get along very well you know that. Stop blubbering!!!” A.D. desisted, still looking poignant.
“BACK on topic. The plan’s still on? Halloween feast right? We’ll develop the plan entirely the night before just to make things clearer.” LS said matter-of-factly.
Just then, they heard a loud hem, hem. Wheeling around, they came face to face with RebelPhoenix, the Gryffindor prefect.
“Skiving off lessons are we?” she said coolly. “Twenty points from Gryffindor. Now get back into that castle and up to History of Magic before I take away fifty,” she snarled. Glaring daggers at her, they all trekked their way back into the castle.
LS was seething. “Miserable lousy old g—.“ Before she finished her sentence, she collided headlong into someone else, and fell backwards. “WATCH WHERE YOU’RE GOING NE—“
“Damn LS…” It was hobbit, from Hufflepuff. “Wutcha have, bricks in your bag?” He got to his feet, still rubbing his head. Once the rest of the group saw who it was, they tensed. Hobbit was the Hufflepuff quidditch captain, and had never been liked very much by the Slytherins ever since the match when he’d hit a bludger at LS, which then hit Binga, breaking LS’s arm and giving Binga a concussion, which left only one chaser on the Slytherin team. The substitutes the team had to use were dreadful, and everyone blamed hobbit for what happened. Not many people from the other houses cared though. Auror and angel (and many other people) thought he was “handsome.”
LS was still on the ground, her eyes cold and hard. “Even bricks wouldn’t hurt that thick head of yours.” She spat. Hobbit looked taken aback for a split second, then broke out chuckling.
“Not still sour about that quidditch game are you? C’mon you know I would never hit you on purpose.” He said with a wink. LS flushed, and hobbit offered his hand to help her up just as LS regained her composure.
“Get stuffed,” she snarled, taking Lady Grim and Raven Guardia’s hands as they helped her up, both of them looking at hobbit as though he was a pile of stinksap. Hobbit shrugged it off however.
“Suit yourself,” he said, and walked away. Raven Guardia took out her wand
“I can still get him from here!” she hissed. Raven walked over to her and pushed her arm down.
“C’mon babe, he’s not worth it.” Raven put his arm around Raven Guardia and led the rest of the group back to the common room.
October 30th, Slytherin Common Room, 11:43 PM
“I gathered all the people that were interested.” LS told A.D. More people had showed up then they thought. Naturally there was A.D., Raven, Raven Guardia, Lady Grim and LS, but Laveria, Shaber, Binga and Sauron had showed up too.
Sauron was the first to speak. “D’you really think we’re going to make gold out of this?” he said excitedly. Binga “tut”ted and smacked Sauron upside the head.
“Always thinking about gold don’t you?” she sneered.
“Shut up guys!” Raven Guardia started. “Now, let’s go through the plan again. It’s early in the year, so it’s not like the Head Girl news will be old enough to use yet. So Laveria, Binga and I head over to the Gryffindor table…we do our thing. Shaber will be waiting by the door and will signal LS and Lady Grim to go down the aisle over to Uni; LS you’re still on good terms with him right?”
“More or less,” she shrugged. “He gave me a free annual drink pass to the café when I gave him some of Georgina’s cookies so I’m doing something right.”
“Excellent. Okay now while LS asks Uni for whatever food is there they can borrow to bring over…Lady Grim, this HAS to be done fast. Tassie’s not stupid but that doesn’t mean she cant feel something being pulled away from her.” Raven Guardia looked up at Lady Grim, who was smiling and holding something up.
“Please,” she said grinning, holding up Raven Guardia’s wand. “Didn’t feel me take this down in the entrance hall did you?”
“Very funny. Back to the plan…Raven you said you were going to lend Lady Grim that belt so she can hide it fast right?”
“She already has it.” Raven said. “Don’t forget I’m supposed to wait by the finish point while Sauron distracts Hagrid after I’m ‘done eating.’”
“Good, good.” Raven Guardia continued. “And you remember where you’re keeping a lookout A.D.?”
“Yesss I know. Send orange sparks up if someone’s found out we’re out of bed. That Invisibility Cloak I nicked from Maikah isn’t an Invisibility Marquee you know…it won’t cover all of you.”
“RED sparks A.D. RED…” LS said exasperatedly.
“Red, orange, pink, green, same thing!” said A.D. shrugging it off. Binga stepped so close to him that their noses were almost touching.
“If you screw this up for us A.D., I will curse you into oblivion, and you KNOW I am the best in our year in charms. Don’t—“ she said poking him.
“—mess—“ another poke.
“—this—*poke*—up—okay?” she smiled oversweetly, giving him too small slaps on the side of the face.
“Come off it.” A.D. said apathetically.
“Okay,” Raven started. “Everyone knows what they must do. Rendezvous tomorrow at the feast. You know what will happen if everything goes according to plan…” she finished mischievously. At that note, they all headed upstairs, and went to bed, eagerly awaiting the holiday feast.
October 31st, 6:30PM, Entrance Hall
The plan would be put into action in another half an hour. Raven, RavenGuardia, LadySlytherin, a mopey Sauron, and Binga were waiting in the entrance hall for most of the group to come down under the invisibility cloak. Everything had gone according to plan earlier that day…well, almost. Sauron had sat on a flobberworm crate in Care of Magical Creatures, but, naturally, the crate was not stable and Sauron crashed through it, killing all of the flobberworms. Hagrid was enraged (you know how he gets about his beloved MONSTERS) and sentences Sauron to detention during the feast. This was good news (“EXCUSE ME?! Good news? You’re not the one who has to fertilize the plants using dragon dung!!!”), considering Sauron was supposed to find a way to keep Hagrid distracted during the feast anyway.
“He wouldn’t want to take his eyes off of you,” explained LS. “He’ll be too damn afraid you’ll ruin his cabbages. Remember in our second year? When the flesh eating slugs were ruining the school cabbages? He was in a right state. I don’t think he’ll keep his eyes off you during detention.”
“Great…absolutely spiffing,” grumbled Sauron. “You lot get to eat pumpkin pie and treacle tarts, and ill be shelving dragon dung. That’s just perfect…”
“You won’t be complaining one we get a fat payoff now will you?” Binga hissed. “That’s all you were talking about in the common room so keep your big fat mouth shut.”
Just then, Raven fell forward onto the marble floor with a loud SMACK. Funny thing was, there was nothing behind him.
“You’re late,” whispered RavenGuardia. “Who all’s here?”
“It’s A.D. LadyGrim, Laveria and Shaber are here too. Mind you it was difficult getting up here without being seen! Four people under one cloak, I tell you…”
“Sauron,” Raven interjected checking his watch. “Time for your detention.”
“Okay, quick review: Sauron, you MUST NOT LET HAGRID SEE THE DOORS TO THE SCHOOL OPEN EITHER TIME! Raven walking alone on the grounds during a feast will look suspicious. The second time, he will not be able to see anyone, and the doors opening by themselves…well that could cause some tricky questions. Okay, Shaber, you’re staying by the entrance to the door. Alert Raven when you are done eating so you two may go out together. Where are you going to stash the cloak? After you’re done eating, tap LS and Lady Grim on the shoulder to let them know you’re going. At that time, LS and Lady Grim, you MUST KEEP WATCH ON SHABER!!! This is important. Laveria, Binga and I will head over the same time Shaber and Raven get up to go out into the hall. At this point, Raven will wait out by the finish point. Oh and ladies, it will be difficult to see around the Ravenclaw table to the Gryffindor one, so watch Shaber closely. Shaber you MUST be careful! While we sneer at Tassie, and the signal is given, LS and Lady Grim, you go around the Ravenclaw table (entrance-side) and towards Uni. He always sits a couple seats down from Tassie. So Lady G, you do your thing, and LS just ask Uni for the pumpkin pie or something, it will probably be time for dessert when Shaber is done eating. Alright, the feast is over, we have the map, people are in position; AD waits by the double doors under the invisibility cloak. Sauron will come in after the detention, right after the feast, which will allow Binga, LS, Laveria and myself (under the cloak) to head out towards Raven. A.D. will be hiding in the gargoyle’s shadow so he will not be seen. Raven is going to stay behind Hagrid’s hut, and if AD sends sparks up, Raven will and we GET OUT of there. Okay? Alright guys I know we can do it. Lets go…”
The plan went on without a hitch. Shaber and Raven left after the main course, and Hagrid did not come barging into the feast holding Raven by the arms which meant he had not been caught. Binga, Laveria and Raven Guardia were doing a good job poking fun at Tassie (“Only prats become prefects and heads you know.” “Watch your step Tass…you authority seeking people always end up attracting CURSES…” “I wouldn’t want to end up a white ferret, would you?”) as far as Shaber could tell. Once Tassie became beet red, he signaled Lady Grim and LS. They walked around the Ravenclaw table towards Uni. When they passed the other 3 girls, they went back to their table (5 Slytherins at another house table would look suspicious). LS made small talk with Uni for a little while, and asked if he still needed the pumpkin pie, and took it back to the table.
“What gives?” LS whispered harshly to Lady Grim as they walked back to their table, pie carefully in tow. “Why didn’t you take it?!”
“LS stop your blabbering,” shot Lady Grim, but she was grinning broadly. “You underestimate me.” She unfolded her arms and LS saw, tucked underneath the belt, the piece of parchment.
After the feast, when AD was in position and Sauron had entered the double doors after the detention (almost knocking out AD with the smell he brought along with him), the four girls started out towards the grounds. They brushed Raven who gave a nod of understanding, and set off into the forest. The Gryffindors had apparently been developing some kind of weapon…members of the Inquisitorial Squad had eavesdropped into Hermione’s confession into that Umbridge woman’s office.
“Okay, cloak off,” said LS. The girls heaved the cloak off as Lady Grim pulled out the parchment.
“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.” Things began to appear on the map; rooms, words, PEOPLE. “BLIMEY…I didn’t know this map would be this useful. I thought it just helped the Gryffindors sneak around into Hogsmeade and whatnot…but…wow…” Lady Grim was positively astonished.
They scanned the map, and saw four little dots labeled in the Forbidden Forest as ‘Lady Grim,’ ‘LadySlytherin,’ ‘BingaBonga,’ and ‘RavenGuardia.’
“So that’s what LS stands for!” Binga ejaculated, comprehension on her face.
“Blimey…bit slow aren’t you?” said Laveria amusedly. Suddenly, as though the look had been snatched off her face, the amused look turned into an utterly bewildered one. “I SEE IT! THERE IT IS!”
She was pointing to a red X on the map labeled “weapon.” The girls half-ran excitedly down the path through the woods as it was shown on the map, till they stopped, faces set in stone.
“What in the ruddy hell IS that?!” LS said softly.
“THIS is the good thing about being half muggle,” started Laveria, a hungry look in her eyes. “Didn’t think Slytherin accepted half and halfs but...wow I haven’t seen one of these since my father was still in the army (“muggle militia,” she said at the blank look on the other’s faces.).”
“Can you work it? Is it dangerous?” said Lady Grim tentatively.
“Only in the wrong hands…” Laveria said deviously. “Oh I know how to work it alright…”
November 1st, 12:15AM, Seventh Floor Corridor, Secret Passage into Hogsmeade as Shown on the Map
It took all 8 (YES 8…they forced Sauron to stay behind by the Witch’s hump (under the cloak of course) to keep a look out.
“What am I supposed to do if someone goes in after you or suspects something?” Sauron started.
“Curse the bloody hell out of them or send a sparkler through the tunnel so it reaches us! Stop complaining!” hissed Raven Guardia.
They had gone down the spacious tunnel (well ok…it wasn’t spacious before, but LS blew the hell out of it so the weapon would fit through 😉 ) for a good three-quarters of an hour when the path started to rise. Half an hour later, AD, Binga, LS, Raven, RavenGuardia, Shaber, Laveria and Lady Grim had all gotten up out of the trap door, and found themselves in HoneyDuke’s cellar. Laveria had to cast a spell on the weapon (“REDUCIO!”) and had pocketed it until it was needed much later. They all blessed the dust on the floor for muffling their footsteps as they crept up the stairs and entered the shop. Laveria returned the weapon back to its original state (thank god it didn’t break the rooftop) and shoved all the candy from the store (from the first lemondrop to the last fizzing whizbee) into it. Laveria once again reduced the weapon and pocketed it. They went back down the stairs excitedly, back through the passage, lapsing into silent victorious giggles, and back out to the entrance.
“Sauron…OY! SAURON! Is it clear?” asked LS tentatively.
“Zzzz…oh what? Uh yea! Come out!” they heard Sauron say from outside the passage.
“Thank god you were awake Sauron. I was beginning to think you weren’t keeping a go—” Raven broke off. He gazed, horror struck around the other side of the witches hump. The others followed his gaze apprehensively. It landed on Professors McGonagall and Dumbledore.
“Oh shit…” Binga whispered
“Shit indeed!” Dumbledore said looking his usual joyful self! “I’m sorry but for breaking the out of bed rule for the 3rd time for all of you…actually Ms. Slytherin…it think this is your 16th time?” LS flushed and they all looked at her bemusedly.
“I had good reason…” she started blushing furiously.
“None of which, I’m sure we’d like to know about,” said Dumbledore, still more cheerfully.
‘Jeez does this guy ever STOP smiling?’ Binga thought. ‘Kind of creepy..’
“Creepy indeed, Ms. Bonga!” Dumbledore interjected. Binga stared at him, her mouth open, gaping at Dumbledore.
“Now,” Dumbledore continued. “…as I was going to say, you all are facing suspension for about 2 weeks from Hogwarts as it—”
“Like HELL we’ll leave!!!” Laveria interrupted! She ran to the front of the group, took the weapon out of her pocket and said “ENGORGIO!” Laveria jumped to the top of it. “You like it Dumbledore?” she said scathingly. “It’s what we muggles call a TANK.” She aimed the automatic gatling gun at Dumbledore and fired.
“Oh good gracious me,” Dumbledore said cheerfully, and fell to the ground.
In the years following the dethroning of Albus Dumbledore as Headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the group consisting of nine wonderful Slytherin students took over management of the school. Hogwarts was succeeded by all their offspring, and grew into an arms bearing, military vehicle driving, pure blooded school. Surprisingly, Hogwarts also thrived as the number one seller of candies in all of England. HoneyDukes in the all wizarding village of Hogsmeade was once the top seller in sweets, but one morning the owners denied customers any merchandise, CLAIMING there was none left in the store, and were featured in the Daily Prophet as “Money Grubbing Selfish Old Dingbats.” In the end, it was Hogwarts who generously took over as the top producer of sweets and goodies, and thrived that way for the next millennia.
The End
*There you go. I only have these two saved on my computer. I'm sure someone can post the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw on here*

why don't you read the original instructions? 😐 LS said to assign 2 at least and i suggested before hand three judges per house to even up the work load. each story will be read and scored a total of three times 😐 what is not hard to understand?

Sorry, my bad, I didn't know that there may be three judges.
No worries 😄 it was not stated in the rules but i suggested it right after i orginally posted the stories.

Attention:ALL Houses will elect judges at thier one discretion to judge the entries. Keep the number of people who judge to the minimum to keep down confusion. I suggest one person per house entry, YOU WILL NOT JUDGE YOUR OWN MIND YOU ALL
Any questions PM me or someone you believe can find out.
Okay, once the stories are up, hopefully SOOOn, then we shall proceed as planned.
I don't understand the scoring system too. 2 judges per house?? But 1 score coming from that house?? Wait, maybe I'm saying it wrong. Ravenclaw only has 3 scores coming from them, right? (Gryffin, Slytherin, Huffelp)
And if this is correct, what is the point of 2 judges?? I suppose those two will PM each other their scores, and them come up with an average and them submit them??? I suppose this is okay, but I was confused. . . sorry.
Secondly, when the stories are up, I think I heard the Slytherin's say 2-3 days for the judging?? Then we shall proceed, but NOT NOW.
In the meantime, once the stories are up, let's have a little fun with the stories. Tell each other waht parts you liked. What was funny, what you didn't like. IN other words, DISCUSS it.
This was a really fun challenge, but it seems to be spiralling out of control and I'm sorry, but I'm here to tell everyon that I am not having it. Everyone is having a good time and there is no need for attitudes, etc. Let's just have fun, okay??
Now, please everyoe, do as ordered. I don't want to sound a Drill Sergent, I'm just trying to do my job as headboy. Thanks.
