In order to maintain high-quality posts and stories, Project Ferret does have some entrance standards. Everyone who joins needs to be able to write English well, including correct mechanics, syntax, and word usage.

While Potterverse members are visiting our Project Ferret, they will write a submission for any one of the following "Future Ferret" Challenges. All submissions must have a unique title and be posted in this topic.




Mission Choice #1: The Snoopy Ginny Challenge

You are Ginny Weasley, at home at The Burrow. You sneak into your twin brothers' room (in spite of them having put blocking spells on the door; you're a pretty clever little witch after all). Describe what you see and what happens because of this. Aim for about 500 words, please.



Mission Choice #2: Animagi Challenge

Describe a day (or part of it) in the life of any one of the characters we know to be animagi, as they would experience it in their animal form. Your submission should be at least 500 words.



Mission Choice #3: Colin's Photo Challenge

Colin Creevey is hot in pursuit of a great picture for the school paper. Describe him trying to get the picture, the picture he eventually takes, and its significance. Remember the reporter's golden rule: Who, What, When, Where, Why, & How. Aim for about 500 words, please.



Mission Choice #4: The Quibbler Challenge

The Quibbler has a blaring headline that has all of Hogwarts murmuring as soon as the owl post arrives during breakfast. What is the headline? Write at least two paragraphs of the reported story, and then have two or more characters of your choice discuss it. Your submission should be at least 500 words.



rferret.gif Note to ferrets: Remember that you are writing fan fiction as though you are the Floo-Between user you've chosen. This means that if you've chosen Snape, you are writing as though Snape is writing fan fiction, not as though he is a part of the story. Each character may write as many submissions as they wish for this challenge, as long as each submission is significantly different from their others. You must choose one of the above missions for each submission. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday December 1st.

The Voting Booth for Round 2 will open on Sunday, November 7th. Click this text to go there.

Posts which are not prefaced by the Character Form will be deleted.

When you post, you'll see a button (up by the "code" and "list" buttons) that says "blank character form." If you press that button, the form will appear in your post. Just edit in your character's details and put the body of your text in the middle. If you've chosen not to use a signature for your character, delete that part of the form.

Do not edit your submissions for this challenge once they are posted in the Forum.

Beyond Expectations


The usual peaceful streets of Hogsmeade were filled with the blabber of Hogwarts students, thinking that it is a free-school day while forgetting the amount of homework they had been purposefully given. The Three Broomsticks was as crowded as usual, as students went to and fro with mugs in their hands, excited for no reason at all. They often seem to act that way, like when they meet the famous Harry Potter.

Among the throng, the famous trio couldn’t have been forgotten. Miss Granger got up bossily from their table and went to the bar to get drinks for them all. There she found herself face to face with none other than Miss Lovegood, clutching a copy of the magazine The Quibbler in her hands. It is ridiculous to think that a girl, who is supposed to have enough wit to be in Ravenclaw, should read such a ludicrous magazine. Clumsy Longbottom sat beside her, beaming, perhaps thinking that Miss Granger would help him in some essay again.

“Hermione! You should really read this!” he said excitedly, waving at her, showering butterbeer all over his robes.

Miss Granger sidled next to him, looking over his shoulder as he read the article in a quivering manner, clutching his own copy of the magazine.

Weird Sisters or Just Weird?
Are they more than they seem?

Among the most talented voices broadcasted on the Wide Wizarding Network (WWN), the musical group, The Weird Sisters is one of the most popular. Its eight members are widely known, and their songs are said to be as unique as their style. Recently the group translated their latest song, “Poison-bound” into Troll. In answer to [I]The Quibbler
’s inquiries, the group’s lead singer Myron Wagtail stated that they wished that every person and creature be allowed to enjoy their music.

BUT DO THEY?

It is known that Trolls are an ignorant type of creature, with no interest in music whatsoever. So what is The Weird Sisters’ REAL purpose? All of the group’s members are excellent speakers of Troll. Could it be that their translated song but be a message to all the Trolls for a renewed allegiance with the Dark Lord? Perhaps, the members are Tro-[/I]”

“Oh what rubbish!” Miss Granger rudely interrupted, not for the first time in her life. Longbottom sat staring stupidly at her.

“What’s wrong with the article?” Miss Lovegood asked, drifting back to reality.

“Honestly, Potions class is far more interesting than that! How could The Weird Sisters be trolls? That would be like comparing Professor Snape to Lockhart! It’s all nonsense! You should all be studying the properties of the bezoar, especially you Neville,” she shot at them.

With that, she spun around and walked back to Weasley and Potter, taking a leaf out of Longbottom’s stained book and forgetting to buy drinks.

“What’s up?” Weasley asked, fuming at her forgetfulness.

“According to The Quibbler, The Weird Sisters are supposed to be trolls in disguise, just because they are fluent in the language, and that they are trying to reassemble the Dark Lord’s army of trolls,” Miss Granger said sceptically, in her know-it-all manner. Unfortunately, she always acts in her superior way, showing off in class and shadowing all the other students in her year except the brilliant students of Slytherin House, with her supposed knowledge.

“That’s why Colin was so excited this morning,” Weasley sputtered. “He and Dennis had a real fight at breakfast over who could read it first,” he said, referring to the same article which the Slytherins had all noticed and read before any Gryffindor.

“It’s all nonsense! How can you believe that?” Miss Granger returned hotly, causing more people than they already had, to notice their presence, which was nothing special at all.

“Who said I di- Harry are you all right?” Weasley asked suddenly, over-reacting.

Potter sat hunched at the table, clutching his scar tightly.

********************************************************************************
*************

The Dark Lord rose from his seat, his red-blood eyes shining, laughing menacingly. He turned to a group of his most faithful Death Eaters.

“He is alone. Go! Hogwarts won’t be Harry Potter’s safe refuge with Dumbledore for much longer.”

********************************************************************************
*************

He should have listened; he should have learned how to control it. But no. He was the famous Potter and he didn’t care what risks others put themselves in, just to keep him alive. He had never learned how to master Occlumency, and his mind was just as weak as himself. Then again, he is James Potter’s son, and no son of that man could have ever turned out as unlike his father as Potter; just as rude, just the mischief-maker, just the same Potter.



I like to sing "Double Double Boil and Trouble...." while playing with my chemistry set.
