The Story So Far and Round 3 Mission Options

[evlpez]

The trio are in trouble! On one side, a massive, black dog appears to be closing in on them. On the other, they are about to be discovered by Trelawney or Hagrid or possibly another (the dangerous escapee?) How do they get out of this?

What mystery surrounds Lupin and his Holiday plans? (Hint- The Full Moon occurs three days after Christmas!) Crookshanks and Scabbers must each make an appearance in the scene.

It ends with a single, exciting moment which confirms Hermione's suspicions.

Word challenge:
mossberry, sycamine, enigma, cat, wolfsbane or wormwood.
(again, use of more than one of these in the winning submission gets a bonus prize for each additional word)

The deadline is Noon Central on Wednesday, December 10.
Polling will follow... the winner and new mission will be declared next Friday!

This round, the Mission is the same for both Canon Fodder and Wizarding Wheezes submissions. Good Luck and happy writing!

Again... The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, who sponsor this contest, would like you to know that all prizes are negotiable to some degree. Should you have no use for tea or be allergic to chocolate or find the hourglass unsuitable for your household decor... we might be able to work something out!
