Well folks I decided to update with a bit of a nod and a smile. Here is a bit of a challenge for you and I hope you all like it. I call it the love potion challenge:

6th year, only Harry eats Romilda's chocolates, as he's already infatuated with Ginny he goes to Hermione with his conflicting loves and Hermione takes him to Madam Pomfrey who calls Slughorn for a flushing potion. Good Ol' Sluggy finds that there are more than one love potion in Harry's body along with some other things that make him loyal to a certain manipulative Bumblebee. He also finds similar potions in Hermione and Madam Pomfrey, the latter of which gets rather upset with the headmaster and goes to vent her frustration...in the process becoming the mistress of the elder wand.

Requirements

> Must be a confrontation with Molly / Dumbledore over the potions. It's up to the author as to whether Ginny is co-conspirator or victim.

> Voldemort must be conflicted over getting the elder wand from Pomfrey ("She's a simple mediwitch, my lord." "There is NOTHING simple about Poppy Pomfrey.")

> Voldemort must suffer a lot. (Power he knows not and all. be creative)

Recommendations

> Harry-Hermione just cause.

And just because that is so much fun let's break out another. I call it the Brat Pack challenge: Take a Brat Pack movie (Yes I'm dating myself), add the characters from Harry Potter, and blend. The more bizarre, the better. For those of you that are to young to know what I'm talking about (or have chemically removed memory of the eighties), here are a few titles to look up for inspiration:

>The Breakfast Club

>St. Elmo's Fire

>Sixteen Candles

>Pretty in Pink

>About last Night

There you go! Have fun and let me know when and if you post.
