It is the Quidditch Month Challenge over at Malfoy Manor, see the News Post or click below for more details.
As per Curseweaver's post August 2nd, 2011
"August is Quidditch Month!!!!! Challenge time!
This one will be much more “diverse” than our previous challenges that focus solely on the Malfoys. If you would like to use an entire Quidditch team of Gryffindors... more power to you! The goal of course is to get Hermione into a situation where she ends up part of a Malfoy-pair. It could be a friendship pairing, or it could be a strong love/hate relationship. Since we are going “canon-blasting”, I am giving you some outrageous prompts to play with. We ALL know Hermione would not be caught dead on a broom with a bludger flying at her head but hey... its fanfiction and that is what is so fun about challenges.
Your options are as follows:
1.) The deadly cliché - Hermione is desperate, in her need to be perfect at everything, to learn to fly/play Quidditch and begs/borrows/pleads her way into a Malfoy instructor!
2.) Hermione takes over the management of the craptastic Cannons, who have failed their way into being ejected from the Quidditch League if they do not get their books and their players into shape in a short period of time.
3.) Hermione flees to Bulgaria to hide out with Viktor after a horrific break-up with Ronald and is drawn into a world of glitz and glamour. While partying hard with Viktor and his Quidditch mates, a certain blond takes more than polite interest in our lovely new Quidditch groupie.
4.) Ginevra, being our wonderful witch’s best mate, bullies her into visiting her team’s stylist for a Quidditch Ball. The results leave a certain Malfoy saying “Mudblood what?”
5.) Quidditch camp!!! Now I love this one personally for Scorpius options. IF you use Scorpius, he MUST be of age. Hermione could be volunteering as a camp Mediwitch. She could own the camp, having started it after becoming fed up with the Ministry. The options are endless.
6.) Hermione explains the finer arts of Quidditch to her son or daughter and reminisces on how she came to love the sport. Perfect for a “Draco/Lucius/Abraxas took me flying and we fell in love” flashback.
Rules: 1. Post-war. We want a challenge full of happy endings and no Dark Lords.
2. It must be a Quidditch fic. Do not just mention Quidditch. The plot must be Quidditch heavy. We know that makes it AU. Hermione is not a huge fan of flying, or of Quidditch as a whole but that is what makes it a CHALLENGE.
3. All submissions must be in by August 30th, and can include multi chapter submissions as long as you have 3,000 words archived by the cut-off date.
4. Submission rules must be adhered to, and your story must be seen to by a beta.
5. All ratings accepted.
6. No OC’s and all stories must be set in the HP universe.
7. Minimum of three thousand words.
8. All stories should be submitted to Challenges-> Quidditch Month Challenge, complete with a disclaimer and relevant genres, warnings etc."
