Snape's Detention Duel - Detention Duel! Options

[zymurgy]

~ Ch. 24 HBP ~

"I thought you could start," said Snape, a malicious smile on his lips, "with boxes one thousand and twelve to one thousand and fifty-six.  You will find some familiar names in there, which should add interest to the task.  Here you see. . . "

He pulled out a card from one of the topmost boxes with a flourish and read, "James Potter and Sirius Black.  Apprehended using an illegal hex upon Bertram Aubrey.  Aubrey's head twice normal size.  Double detention.'" Snape sneered.  "It much be such a comfort to think that, though they are gone, a record of their great achievements remains. . . ."

Round One Mission:

Harry becomes fascinated with the cards, using them to find out more about his parents and their school mates.
Detail in a scene: the prank, who was involved, the punishments. Your submission must be a minimum of 1,000 words, but no more than 1,500 words.

The Format is yours to choose: You may stay in Harry’s world, from his point of view or any other that works for your story segment, use flashbacks, Pensieves, time turners, alternate points of view, or other fancy literary devices.


Keep in mind that Mr. Filch has banned the use of chatspeak, foul language and adult themes.



"Ferret Points can and will be added - at the discretion of [font=Script mt bold]the Department of Mysteries - for humor and clever situations."


Please remember that this story is to be a continuation- end at a point where it would be possible for another writer to continue the story.
Any submission not in compliance with this will be disqualified for the weekly Round competition, though will still be elligible for the overall Favorite and Longbottom awards.

Each submission (feel free to post more than one each week) MUST have its own unique title.

You must include in your submission at least three of the following words - in context:

Costermonger
Anodyne

Infrangible
Pulvinar
Pridian

We have received this Memo from Professor Snape regarding awards. We don’t know WHO it was that put him in charge, possibly Dumbledore or Voldemort, but they’re not telling.
As he seems quite harsh and exacting, Ferret Points can and will be added - at the discretion of the Department of Mysteries - for humor and clever situations the good professor would not appreciate.
