The Ghost Challenge


 

Surely love can conquer death and so with all the talk about the possibility of our beloved Potions Master being killed at the end of book seven, I have decided to issue the following challenge;

Snape has been killed and his ghost now resides in Hogwarts, although he refuses to acknowledge that he's dead.  Our smart little bookworm has returned to Hogwarts - for whatever reason you decide - and Dumbledore has given her the job of helping Snape come to terms with his passing, giving her orders to do it any way possible by any means necessary!!

Challenge ends 31st October 2004 - All Hollow's Eve! (so please post your first chapters by then!)

Conditions:

This must take place after Seventh year.  How long after is your choice.

How Snape is killed is up to you, as is why Hermione has returned is up to you as well.

Snape doesn't believe that he's dead at first, Hermione must convince him that he is.

After he has come to terms with his death he finds out the reaction that the Wizarding world had in regards to his death, which he must find out about and react to himself!  The reaction from the WW is to be either, Great Happiness - Think off all those ex-Hogwarts students he taught! -, Great Sadness - Has the war ended, was he revealed to be a hero? - or just 'Oh Well.'

Snape and Hermione must talk about a way to bring him back to life.

The challenge should preferably end in one of the following ways;

Snape is brought back to life  (Happy!)

Snape moves on to the other side  (Sad.)

Snape stays a ghost and the 'couple' find a way to make it work (Interesting...and controversial, but think of the possibilities!)

Everything else is up to you!

Bonus points if;

Snape watches Hermione in the shower - on purpose!

Snape and Peeves team up to play a prank on Dumbledore!

Any of the following quotes are used;

"Time Gentlemen, please."

"Death is the next big adventure."

"Abracadabra!"

"Shut that mouth before I fill it for you!"

"Oh!  I just want to smack him with a wet fish!"

"Fat Pigeon!"

The Rebellion Challenge Rules
completion date: Sept 9, 2004 (can be extended if necessary)

By: Sharkdiver1980


Summary:

Hermione gains a reputation she never wanted by being the "Gryffindor Know-it-all". She decides it's high time to show people there is a lot more to her than they think...


For this challenge:

* Must be HG/SS NO EXCEPTIONS!! (can have other pairings involved, but SS/HG must be the major pairing.)

* Hermione decides to rebel by doing something NO ONE would expect to ever see her do, because she is sick and tired of people thinking she is a "goody two shoes" Whatever her "rebellious act" is, is completely up to the author.

* Hermione must shout REALLY loudly about whatever it is she's done in the Gryffindor common room at that perfect moment when it happens to quiet down, so that everyone hears it.

* Rita Skeeter must have some small part in this challenge

* The expression "Merlin on a tricycle!" must be used at least once

* Have fun with it!! Be creative!! Be original!!

[cis]

Snape and Hermione have to go on a mission (you decided the reason and where) and bring back more than they bargained for... each get the spirit of two lovers stuck to them. These two lovers have been cursed to spend the whole eternity apart. So they must make Snape and Hermione see love for each other! Making them fall in love is the only way for the spirits to be reunitedÉ do they have a ghost of a chance?

My preferences are : not many because I hate it when people put up too many rules myself! On with the creativity!

1) Snape and Hermione must not like each other at firstÉ fighting would be good!

2) Please go into detail of the two spirits storyÉ either in a prologue or flashbacks.

3) Before or after the war, you decided. After would probably be better, so it doesnÕt complicate it. But do, as you wish!  * All hail the muses! *


Closing date : July 27th

The Last Hogwarts Virgin Challenge

 
 
The Challenge:

 
A rumour has been spreading throughout Hogwarts that Voldemort intends to sacrifice young witches and wizards that are virgins. In the beginning, Hermione thinks this is a load of codswallop, but when she begins to suspect she is the last Hogwarts virgin, she starts to worry. How does she react when the only object of her desire turns out to be a certain Potions Professor?

 
Guidelines:

 
·         This should be in Harry, Ron, and Hermione’s seventh year.

·         Hermione and Snape are going to end up in bed (or somewhere else if you prefer) together, but do they consummate the relationship?

·         Has Hermione been propositioned or does she feel slightly hurt that none of the other students has seemed interested in her?

·         Who started the rumour and why?

·         Is the rumour true or not?

·         Do the teachers have any idea what is going on? If so, how do they react?

 
Bonus:

 
·         If Hermione hears Ron and/or Harry bragging about their “conquests”.

·         If Hermione catches either Harry or Ron doing a dance in their undergarments.

·         If there’s some mention of birth control in the Wizarding World.

·         If a student gets pregnant.

 
Completion Date: September 15

 
 
 
 
I see this as humour/parody, but if you want to go in a different direction or just write Smut, I won’t object.

A Proper Detention Fic

So, this is one of the Classics of the ship, and I can't think of one that's really well
written. So the challenge is to write The Detention Fic, the one that everyone will still be
talking about in two years time, and will be standard by which all Detention Fics will be
judged. These requirements were worked out by me and my Friends on my Livejournal –
so it's a pretty comprehensive list.

So, the basic requirement is that Hermione shall have Detention with Snape and be
shagged into the middle of next week.

The second requirement is that it should be hot enough to melt the screen, and if it is
printed out will cause the paper to spontaneously combust.

To avoid the issues about the morality of student-teacher sex, it is almost her last day in
school, and the exams are over and marked. (Unless you want to explore that dynamic of
course).

My personal preferences on this are:

1.   Hermione shall not trip along to the detention in the expectation of a shag. She
will be expecting detention. She is most likely rather annoyed about getting
detention. This will mean she gets a Lovely Surprise. She will also be attending
wearing all her underwear, and regulation robes and skirt length.

2.   The Detention will not consist of Professor Snape getting Hermione to bend over
to clean a cauldron such that he can ogle her  firm, ripe, melony, pert, cute,
rounded, whatthehellever buttocks. Nor will there be a cliched sentence about
Severus realizing that Hermione has grown into a woman, with accompanying
descriptions of "curves in all the right places".

3.   The sex will be physically possible. Severus will be a normal length and size and
colour. There should be no extra pairs of hands, impossibly long fingers reaching
into wombs. There will be no kissing until the parties are unable to breathe – that
is what noses are for. If necessary draw a diagram and work out who is doing
what to whom, and how. Illustrations are always welcome, for those who like to
draw.

4.   Hermione will not be a virgin, therefore she will not be shocked at what she finds
under those robes, although she may be pleasantly surprised. Neither will Severus
be a virgin. We don't need to know who their previous shags were, and there shall
be no references to Ron didn't manage to make her feel like this (even though
I've done that myself). Severus is however a Sex God, otherwise what is the
point. (Unless someone fancies a comic version, hmmmm, maybe I'll write one.)

5.   Hermione still has frizzy hair and not cascading curls. Severus still has a big nose.
His hair might not be greasy – as he could have had a wash before the shag – but
it will not be silky close up, gosh, everyone has been wrong about his hair all
along.

6.   Forbidden Phrases. There will be no:

?   feminine cores;
?   throbbing manhoods, rods, shafts, or anything that sounds like it belongs on a car.
?   Purple-headed love-mushrooms;
?   Shutters   - they are large wooden objects on houses, and nothing to do with sex at
all. Shudder is allowable but why not try something new – trembling, shivering,
quivering, quaking, etc;
?   No Sev, Sevvie, Sevviekins, Greasy Git, Know-it-all, overgrown bat – I'm tired
of seeing them;
?   Severus will not announce to Hermione that she is so hot and tight, when sliding
his throbbing manhood between her slick folds (and there's another, no slick
folds, in fact no folds at all); and preferably should not announce that she is all
wet for him, unless this is done with style and flair. Some authors have managed
to do this; most haven't;
?   No releasing a breath she didn't know she had been holding;
?   Neither should Hermione lap up his ejaculate eagerly, and he definitely shouldn't
be lapping up his own ejaculate  - some of us read this stuff in the mornings and
eat porridge and that kind of visual can result in people being unable to write smut
for simply weeks
 
Closing date: 18th July 2004. If you miss it, post anyway.

But I Saw Her First

 

Challenge

 

Sometimes people don’t know they want something until someone else is playing with it.  It would seem our Snarky Potions Master is no exception.  When Hermione becomes involved with someone else near his own age, he realizes it could have been him.

 

The Challenge
 

 

-Severus finds his feelings for Hermione (whether it is just lust, love, etc) after he walks in on her and a colleague at Grimmauld Place in a very comprising, adult position. He is surprised when jealousy rears its ugly head and he decides he wants to try to win a spot with Hermione, after all he saw her first.

 

Rules:

1) Severus must come across Hermione in an intimate moment with someone close to Severus’ age at Grimmauld Place. They must be in the act of making love or it is evident that they are about to, or just finished.  Does he interrupt them or just watches from the shadows? Up to you.

Suggestions: Remus (of course), Kingsley Shacklebolt (not sure of his age but he is older), Sirius Black (If you choose to bring him back from the dead J), Sturgis (again not sure of his age), Hagrid (well you never know), Lucius Malfoy (Better explain how he got there though J) or anyone you choose (Bill Weasley would be as young as you should go).  Please pick a name from the books though.

2) Hermione should be seventeen (seventh year) or older.

3) Severus will try to win Hermione, whether just to prove to himself he can or because he really cares is up to you.  No potions allowed please (such as lust or love potions)

4) A confrontation between Severus and Hermione’s male friend which includes Severus saying something on the line of “I saw her first….”

5) Hermione is not infatuated with Severus.  She respects him as a teacher and his work in the Order but gives him little thought outside of that so the work will have to be on his part.

6) Include three of the following-

a)      Ron rooting for Snape over the other man

b)      Severus asking another man/woman for advice on matters of the heart/or bed

c)      Hermione having a laughing fit in public

d)      Dumbledore totally clueless to what is going on for a change

e)      A gift of a whip and chains to someone

f)        A magical billboard appearing in a prominent Wizarding community spot

 

Bonus for using them all.

 

Angst, Humor, Romance or pure Smut? Does Severus win Hermione?  That is the author’s choice.  Have fun. Deadline for posting first chapter Sept 1, 2004

The Whiskey Lullaby Challenge
By- Megan (Ann Deane) (Ailaartsinua)

This is a challenge based on a beautiful song by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss called Whiskey Lullaby. I heard the song and knew that there had to be a Severus/Hermione story to go with it. The lyrics are below. This is my first challenge and I’m hoping that I’m doing everything right! Please tell me if I’m not.

Lyrics:

Whiskey Lullaby
Alison Krauss and Brad Paisley
(Bill Anderson/Jon Randall)

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night

1st Chorus
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night

2nd Chorus
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
Rules:
1. The ‘he’ is obviously Severus, and the ‘she’ is Hermione. They can be any age you please, whether she’s just out of Hogwarts or she’s 53 years old. Be creative, and make it your own!

2. They could have been lovers and she left him, they could have been married and she left him, any way she has to have left him.

3. It can be in anyone’s point of view except the two the story is focused on. It can be right after her funeral or 100 years later as an old story passed down about two lovers. Whatever, I don’t care.

4. The ending has to be sad. No reuniting as ghosts, or meeting up in the next life. Call me pessimistic, but it has to be sad.

5. Include the lyrics in the fic somewhere, whether they be interspersed throughout or at the end, just make sure they’re in there with proper credit to the singers and the song writers. (Both singers and song writers are at the top!)

6. It can be any length, whether it’s one chapter or 102, just make it good!!!



The first or only chapter of each story much be submitted by August 1, 2004. Please post your story in the challenge folder or post in the folder with a link to your fic on another website (fan fiction, LnLs, etc.) so we can reserve space at WIKTT, and please email me if you’ve responded. I’m looking forward to what you can do!

Daddy Long Legs.

During her fifth year holiday’s, Hermione’s parents died (Car crash, Death eater, drown at the tub…whatever you want).
Hermione has been assign a muggle tutor who steal her money and disappear.
Now she can’t afford  Hogwarts  fee and is thinking to leave the magical world because there are no scholarships to muggleborn children.(Why Harry didn't offer his help? Is up to you)

A mysterious man write  to Dumbledore asking for permission to cover Hermione needs, the only condition is that she needs to write him every day in a magical notebook (You know as the one Riddle used in  book 2). In a mock of the kids book and such mysterious non sense, Hermione decided to call her benefactor as “Daddy Long Legs” (Of course she has read the muggle book)

1.   The mysterious man is Snape. (Well, duh)
2.   He must made her three very special gift during her six and seven year. Please: Not Hogwarts a history!
a.   The first must make her feel cared for someone.
b.   The second must make her feel desired, and also help her  realized that she is now a woman.
c.   The third must make her know she is loved.
3.   Your task is to make them fall in love.
4.   She must try to solve the mystery and find out who is helping her. (If she get it or not is up to you)
5.   You must get them together after graduation.
6.   You decided if he writes her back or not, or how often. She, instead, must write at least one line daily. If she doesn’t there must be a punishment of some kind.
7.   Humor , angst, smut, whatever style you like.
8.   Any length.
9.   How similar to the Daddy Long legs plot? Is up to you, feel free. Just get the idea while re ordering my childhood books.
10.   First post must be up before June 20. Remember to announce it at the group board and to put a link in the challenge folder.

Plenty of time, don’t be lazy.

Due to slscott sugestion  I will add a posible variant to the Daddy Long Legs challenge, called Dear Enemy:
As slscott says in her post:
"There's a 1914 sequel to -Daddy Long Legs- that I think would make a better
candidate as a template for an SS/HG fic: -Dear Enemy,- in which Judy Abbott
Pendleton's friend and college room-mate, Sallie McBride, is gently coerced
by the Pendletons into becoming temporary head of the John Grier Orphan
Asylum, and instituting the reforms they've planned. Some of the drawbacks
of the job: an antiquated, dilapidated facility; long-time, untrained staff
who don't hold with reform; orphans en masse; a fiance who's alarmed by
Sallie's burgeoning social concience; and a surly, semi-reclusive Scottish
doctor. No points for guessing who gets the girl. In between, there are
several crises, including a fire, which allows the doctor to look quite
romantically heroic in all-enveloping bandages.

In any event, the text is on-line, and a link to download it from is to
be found at:
http://srhs.sandi.net/BooksByAuthor.htm#W"

So the variant maybe:
Post war scenario.
In a very Molly Weasley way, The Potters (Ginny & Harry) coerced Hermione to leading an Orphanage,now run with Potter's money. Due to the lack of enough mediwizards, Snape is assuming said task at the orphan Asylum. (manipulated by Dumbledore, of course).
Same drawbacks from the job (See above)
Ron as Hermione boy friend.
Hermione writte a letter to the Potters weekly.

As daddy Long Legs:

-Humor , angst, smut, whatever style you like.
-Any length.
-How similar to the Daddy Long legs plot? Is up to you, feel free. Just get the idea while re ordering my childhood books.
-First post must be up before June 20. Remember to announce it at the group board and to put a link in the challenge folder.

Pensieve challenge.

Curiosity kills the cat, and Hermione reach Severus pensieve, only to find it full of memories of her. How would she react?

You must explore the possibilities of this scenario.
Any length.
Any style.

You must uploaded the first part before Sunday 30  (May)

[littledragon]

The Someone Walks in Challenge:

Okay, the title could be better I know, but I think it explains the challenge fairly well.

I have been a lurker at WIKTT for sometime now, but I refrain from posting. But lately, I have been having this one scene play through my head.

Purpose of Challenge:

To write a fic, in which someone (preferably someone who would have an amusing reaction) walks in on them (HG/SS) in a compromising situation. Such as: kissing, hugging, being sprawled on top of each other, hands in inappropriate places, etc... This leads to other situations, of course. Hopefully it will be humorous, but if not who cares.

Ships:

Obviously HG/SS, but Hermione and Severus do not have to be in a relationship at the time they are seen/heard in the situation, or they can be. Whatever you want.

Any other ships you want are encouraged, but I will love you more if you throw in a little Draco/Ginny action.

How:

Do Harry and Ron sneak into Snape’s room under the invisibility cloak? Does Ginny burst into Hermione’s room? Does Draco waltz into the room and happen to see? Or

-gasp- does someone use a time turner and get thrown into the future and see something they don’t want to?

It doesn’t matter, it just has to be someone who would have a reaction that is hopefully entertaining, and hopefully very funny. Suggestions I include are: Harry, Ron, Draco, Sirius, Remus, Minerva and etc...

Requirements:

~Must be HG/SS (obviously)

~Any rating goes

~Length: It is up to the Author

~Two or more of the following phrases must be used:

“I didn’t know he/she/it could bend like that.”

“I had no idea a flask could be used in such a way.”

“I am glad Mum wasn’t here to see this... MUM?!”

“Purple Slop!”

“-Gasp- How big!”

Or

“-Gasp- How small!”

“Boxers or Briefs?”

“Was that a turkey?”

“Don’t let the cows get me!”

The Challenge ends:

March 3, 2003 so you have plenty of time to respond if you wish. ^^

Snape's Worst Nightmare -

Ok, my friend and I were very bored one evening and began to discuss
how Snape could do with a chill pill sometimes! So we started
thinking up the best ways to embarrass poor Snapey! All in one fic!
Whahahahaaaa!

The challenge starts off when Snape wakes up on the 2nd of April.
Someone put something in his food the day before (April Fool's Day)
and consequently he has a reaction to it. This can be anything from
a stomache bug to flu (you choose - has to be embarrassing though!)
Snape just has bad luck form then on! Hermoine is an apprentice at
Hogwarts (has left school now) and takes on ther role of one of the
staff for a fortnight (again, you choose what this is).

 The challenge must include the following:

Remus falls in love!
Snape receives an enema (eeek!)
Someone is involved in a car crash
A giant chocolate easter egg
A mysterious smell!

The general plot is based around easter time (you may have guessed
from the above!) and Snape and Hermoine are not yet a couple but must
end up as one by the end of the fic. It can be as long as you like
but points will be awarded depending on how much you can humiliate
the serious and sexy potions teacher! Heheheheee!

Good luck! =)

[littledragon]

GAS!

Pretty simple challenge. I have this thing where I like Snape being
humiliated. He's usually so serious that it's funny to see how he
would react in certain situations. In this challenge Snape does
exactly what the title suggests.. he has gas! You decide why!

*The setting for this fic is in Hogwarts during the winter. Snape has
a crush on Hermoine and is trying to win her over. Hermoine and Snape
must end up as a couple by the end of the fic (awwwww!). Hermoine has
finished school and is now training at Hogwarts to be a teacher there.

The challenge must include:

Snape and Hermoine go on at least one date
Dumbledore tries his luck at cooking!
Snape has bad gas! lol
Someone accidently kisses Crookshanks!
An embarrassing Potions lesson!

Have fun!
