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!

Drawing another plant-piece from the cover caused the book to flip itself open at a different page. This time water washed over the submerged fronds while fish darted in and out of the forest of kelp nearby. All of this plant's life cycle and the magical uses for its various parts swirled through his brain completely understandable and crystal clear.

Neville found himself grinning.
