The Birthday Bash, A Writing Race Against Time! Options

[zymurgy]

Ferrets, here is a challenge for you!

Harry and Neville's birthday is at the end of this month. (30th for Neville, 31st for Harry) Your challenge is to collectively write a complete story about their birthday, hopefully ON TIME!

The Rules:

The first ferret to post gets to choose WHOSE birthday this story will be about by writing the first paragraph.

This story is Wheezes - this is parody time! Dust off the funny!

Each ferret may write a paragraph at a time. They may write as many paragraps as the like, but there must be at least one by another ferret in between (unless you really really HAVE to post another. We can't all have perfect self-control afterall). Each paragraph takes the story from where the previous one left off.

The Goal:

To create a complete, funny, and coherent parody story about Neville or Harry by their birthday, or at latest August 3d.

The Incentive:

The Ferret who provides the closing paragraph (and it must be a proper ending, tieing up loose ends. "Rocks fall. Everybody dies," doesn't qualify) will have 100 Galleons donated to the Hogwarts Bathroom Fund in their name. If they manage to end it on the birthday, Plum and Plum's Perfect Wizarding Plumbing and Loos has agreed to up the donation to 1,000!

Let's get a marvelous story together, ferrets, AND get a little bit further towards that new bathroom!

He reached out, fingering the leaves. He could feel them, but it was a dream like feeling. He could tell he wasn't really touching the plant. But he was amazed all the same. One of the bees buzzed by his ear and he was back in his dining room again.
