Prompts
Prompt 1 - Tuesday, January 22nd In the biggest upset in over three centuries, the Chudley Cannons win the wildcard slot into the National Quidditch playoffs! Everyone is shocked that Puddlemere's seeker gave up the snitch when the game was tied! United fans are heartbroken! It looks like all that crossing the fingers and hoping for the best paid off! But the question is, will this luck last?
Prompt 2 - Thursday, January 24th The headline in the Daily Prophet features another article describing yet another attack that includes the mysterious shape in the sky just above where it occurs. The Olson family, who has a thirteen-year-old son attending Hogwarts in the Ravenclaw house, was attacked on Wednesday night. Marianne Olson, a Muggle, was tortured while her husband, Daniel Olson, a Muggleborn, was outright killed. The attacker was also killed, but still managed to send up the odd shape into the sky. (More to come in Prophet article.)
Prompt 3 - Friday, January 25th Haven't you ever wanted to holiday somewhere warm in the cold winter? Never fear! The Charms Club has attacked Hogwarts with a vigor, the entrance hall and most of the hallways and empty classrooms have been turned into various resort areas with beaches and warming areas. Be careful though! Peeves has set a few sand-traps and has been throwing coconuts at everyone (don't worry they were charmed to bounce off of everything, but it's still not pleasant!)
Prompt 4 - All Week It's that time of the year, apparently. Yes, that's right - cold and flu season. While it's been trickling, it's starting to pick up and make its rounds at both Hogwarts and Great Britain. It starts with just a sniffle, but by the next day it's nearly impossible to leave bed you're so tired and your coughing is so awful. It only lasts for about four days, but that doesn't mean it's an easy four days. (Note: At this point, we ask for only three students and two alumni to catch the illness. Please sign up here if you'd like them to catch it.) Students: Marlene McKinnon, Alice Parker, James Potter Alumni: Rosmerta Weber & Open
Prompt 5 - All Week It seems like there's been a grocery mix up in deliveries! Instead of receiving the usual sorts of foods at the Ministry and St. Mungo's, they've only received fruit! Sure, it's all right at first, but after the third day straight of apples or bananas, people are sure to get annoyed. Luckily there is a fresh delivery next week, but for now you've got to live with it!
