HAHAHA, Hagrid of course! I am very mad at him after his fiasco in Book Five. I have a habit of thinking that characters are real. I've held a grudge against Frodo for quite some time... stupid git, trying to keep the ring....

Also, everyone, don't forget to work together if you've got an idea that will take other character's involvement. Don't be afraid to PM the other people in the order and get together a little tete-a-tete (sp? French, stupid French lessons were so long ago...)


Also, a GREAT BIG THANK YOU in advance to everyone that's participating. I'm so childishly happy and filled with glee (yes, GLEE) that y'all wanna participate. I feel like the kid in PE who everyone wants to play with

Also *ahem* note the graphic. This is going in HPA...

Your French spelling was lovely, you just needed three accents, but I don't know if there's a way to put them in here anyway, so good job!! Tu es le champignon! (mushroom)

[moonbeam3243]

Merci beaucoup!

OK... I'm old... my eyes are bad.... what is the little fidgety thingy that looks like a cat in a Santa suit that keeps itching, Mooney?

[moonbeam3243]

Hehe, I was wondering when someone would ask

It's a little sprite of the main character in an anime called "Inuyasha." Inuyasha is half-human, half-dog-demon. So he looks like a boy, but he has dog ears and some dog traits, including scratching his ear with his foot. It's a HILARIOUS show, and really awesome. It comes on during Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. The red suit is made from fire rats' fur and is stronger than armor

[moonbeam3243]

Cat, did you intend this as a prequel for another part of your story for the first week? If so, do you want us to leave a space for you to put in the rest of your story?

It's really cute, tho, love the way you've got Hagrid's dialogue down


Also, advance warning... mine is coming up a bit long. *cough* very long. Don't think that I intend any sort of page limit on this thing, people! Mine's probably going to end up TOO long...

BTW, pinkpanther, I'm not including Hermione in my version. I wanted to, but it was getting too long as it was, and I figured you'd have that covered

[McGonagall's Cat]

I'll just edit in or put it in later this week
wanted to "prime the pump"...

[moonbeam3243]

Ok! Consider us primed!

I'm about ready to post mine. *looks around sheepishly* And all this time I was supposed to writing my thesis... *sigh*

[moonbeam3243]

BTW, everyone, please remember to title your passage with your character's name (as Cat did).

[ronsmyman]

I started writing mine last night, and I found that it was harder than I expected, It's really hard, because I've always had a sort of soft spot for Quirrel, even though I know he's an evil git. I'm running out of good insults for He-who-must-not-be-named to use against Quirrel too, so if any of you have any really good insults could you post them here or PM me?

[bakbam]

RMM where are you starting your story from. I was kinda thinkingas professor school would start for them early, and with Harry Potter coming to the school (which all the teachers seemed to have known he was coming). I was thinking that DD had a "beginning of year meeting" with the teachers.... what do you think?

[ronsmyman]

I started with Quirrel getting up in the morning at his house, getting ready to go to Hogwarts. He's having a discussion with Voldemort and that's where I left off. You've brought up an interesting point Bakbam, you, SiriuslyIrish, McG's Cat, and I need to iron out what all of the teachers are doing. They can't all just show up at school the same time as the students. I have an idea, we're going to have to have a staff meeting of some sort, so, SiriuslyIrish- if possible could you send us a list of things that Dumbledore will say in the staff meeting, and we can all put that in our stories, that will sort of unify them, then we can do whatever else we want to with our characters until the sorting ceremony and feast.

I'm going to lay out some possible teacher guidelines. (Feel free to add or to dispute anything I put.
-The teachers don't live there over the summer, so they must have homes elsewhere, I propose that they have to be at Hogwarts by ten a.m. on the first day of school.
-They drop off their stuff in their offices and hurry off to a staff meeting at 10:30.
-After the staff meeting the staff can arrange their office or do whatever until fivish or what ever time is about an hour before the students arrive, then they all assemble in the Great Hall.
-After the feast they can go off in their seperate directions and do whatever they want.

They all need to arrive around the same general time in order to make everything believable. If anyone else has anymore suggestions please contribute. Hagrid of course only needs to worry about the Staff meeting, so you're off the hook for the most part, McG's Cat.

[bakbam]

The two scenes so far are wonderful. I can't wait to read more

[zymurgy]

I just finished my scene! Well, really, writing about a big feather duster has it's perks. What? Title? er... it got snatched by the phantom title snatcher! Ok, ok, I'll edit one in. I just forgot. Honest. Won't happen again.

And KUDOS for the scenes so far. Love it. They're all so much longer than mine... I'll deal.

[McGonagall's Cat]

Hagrid lives at Hogwarts year-round... Trelawney also... somehwere here Evlpez posted a thing from SugarQuill about teachers living on campus/at castle... so its ok for some of them to be there already and its ok for some to live elsewhere or be on sabatical or traveling...

Also Hagrid is only game-keeper/keeper of the keys at this point, so he could sit in on a meeting with all of you, but probably wouldn't be included in the academic part.
