It's the final quidditch game of the season at Hogwarts; Gryffindor versus Slytherin for the Quidditch Cup. The game has just begun and Slytherin are ahead by 40 points, though they are using less-than-legal means to stay ahead. Choose a character or characters located in any one of the locations listed below. Describe their experience of the situation and what ideas or actions (if any) they use to help Slytherin continue their lead or help Gryffindor catch up.

• Gryffindor Spectator Stands
  
  
• Slytherin Spectator Stands
  
  
• Hufflepuff Spectator Stands
  
  
• Ravenclaw Spectator Stands
  
  
• Staff/Public Spectator Stands
  
  
• Commentator's Box

Unlike Round 3 (The Magic Box Challenge), the submissions for this challenge do not make a continuing story. Each submission must stand alone as a short story.

All submissions must have a unique title and be posted in this topic.



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. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday December 1st.

The Voting Booth for Round 4 will open on Sunday, November 21st. 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.

Comments on the story A Feline In The Midst

zymurgy commented:
I love the Mrs. Norris angle! You did have some grammar bloopers that I could see, mostly slight tense trouble, but otherwise quite spiffing.

McGonagall's Cat commented:
It is quite original to have the chosen character be Mrs. Norris. Good storyline.

StarWalker commented:
What could be better, than to be a cat at a Quidditch match! Technical errors cost, but this was a great read.
