McG

Who: Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, Charlie Weasley, possibly McGonagall and Pince
Where: The Headmaster's office, Hogwarts castle; later the dungeon
When: After Hours
Warnings/rating: Adult, the boys are having a honeymoon

( wedding bells were not ringing, but both grooms' nerves were shot )

Who: Minerva McGonagall and Albus Dumbledore
When: Morning of December 27
Where: McG's rooms at first, then Dumbledore's office
Why: Because I'm insane :P Because Regulus needed a journal so McG accidentally forgot hers in a pub in the town Reg lives. And now she's demanding I write this :P And since she's otherwise quiet who am I to deny her when she finally wants to do something.


McG sat down with an angry huff and looked at her living room. Her various belongings lay scattered about and she knew her bedroom and office looked no different. And yet... no journal.

She tightened her tartan dressing gown around her and tried to regain some control of her hair. During her furious search for the blasted journal her long hair had come undone and was now flowing over her shoulders in a most unladylike manner.

With a new impatient huff she let her hair be and pulled out her wand, once more trying to summon her journal to her. When the charm again failed she growled angrily, stood up and moved through her rooms into her office and reached the door. She banged it shut behind her and strode quickly to Dumbledore's office, just barely remembering to knock on the door.

Who: Everyone
When: Friday, November 24, after lunch
Where: Hogwarts Grounds
Why: There be great winged monsters, m'dears

First Task of the Triwizard Tournament

McGonagall fiddled nervously with her cloak as she walked through the grounds down to the site for the first task. She knew what she was approaching but still the sound of the dragon roars made her nostrils flare.
Setting students up against dragons... really...
All around her students were talking excitedly, milling around as they discussed what the first task would be, until they turned the corner and faced the enclosures.



An eerie silence fell over the crowd at the sight, interspersed with a few screams, then a buzzing sound spread.

McGonagall frowned with annoyance as she passed a number of people discussing the Champions' chances of survival, then she finally made her way up to the part of the stadium which was reserved for the Hogwarts staff and judges. She settled with an annoyed huff right behind Moody who was humming some tune to himself.

Mod note: Opening thread! Use it as you see fit. The more the merrier! (sorry to those who have adult pups--yours probably wouldn't be here. Feel free to post your own. At the Broomsticks, maybe?) Portions of this entry have been quoted verbatum from the original text


The Hall was eerily quiet. Certainly, no one had expected the Goblet to flare a fourth time. They also hadn't expected Dumbledore to actually pay attention to the fourth strip of paper that had floated down to him from it. Still, perhaps it should have been a surprise to no one the name that was called.

"Harry Potter."

All eyes turned to the pale, dark-haired boy who sat, frozen in place at the attention, and a flurry of whispers filled the room.

"Harry Potter!" Dumbledore called again. "Harry! Up here, if you please!"
