MUCH I APPRECIATE HIM.
Puck, I used 6 on purpose, so that folks wouldn't think it was an ending but didn't make a note of it. Have 4 now. 
Hmmm... so does Crooksy know Ron hates spiders? Or not? Could this be the end?
EDIT: Okay, so I see Five Worders have posted on other threads since this post, but not here. I guess that means folks think this story is finished? I'll check back in a few more hours to see...
Okay, since no one has posted for a few hours, I'm going to declare this story officially F I N I S H E D ! The story will be up sometime over the weekend. Until then, this thread will be locked. and stats. Puck, I'm passing on story-starting honors to you, since I started this one. Happy choosing!
Also, there were 4 NON-POSTS on page 16, due to posting blip of some kind. Since 2 of those posts were mine, I inserted 2 sets of 5 words earlier in the story, where my posts were not directly preceding or following the new words:

CROOKSHANKS
SUBJECT: HERMIONE GRANGER
DATE: 23 JUNE 2002
1015: HERMIONE ASKS RON TO GET HER A BOOK FROM THE KITCHEN... A COOKBOOK. RON GRUMBLES THAT HE IS BUSY BUT GETS UP ANYWAY WHEN HERMIONE GIVES HIM ONE OF HER "YOU-BETTER-DO-IT-BEFORE-I-TURN-YOU-INTO-A-RUG" LOOKS.
1020: HE RETURNED, MUNCHING ON A SCONE ABSENTMINDEDLY, BUT WITHOUT THE BOOK, WHICH CAUSED AN INTERESTING RESPONSE. FIVE CANARIES CHASED HIM BACK TO THE KITCHEN, WHERE HE QUICKLY RETRIEVED THE BOOK. I FOLLOWED HIM.
1030: TRIED CATCHING A CANARY, BUT IT SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED IN A PUFF OF SMOKE. NOT FAIR. DISAPPOINTED, I FOUND RON'S SHOELACE AND CHEWED IT FOR A BIT.
1037: DISCOVERED WHY HERMIONE NEEDED THE COOKBOOK: SHE HAD HIDDEN A KEY — OLD AND RUSTY — INSIDE.
1038: RON ASKED HERMIONE WHAT SHE NEEDED IT FOR, AND SHE TOLD HIM IT WAS A SURPRISE.
1045: TIME FOR A KIP.
1122: THAT SPASTIC OWL JUST SWOOPED INTO THE KITCHEN AND CRASHED INTO THE WALL, WAKING ME UP FROM MY NAP. HERMIONE RAN OVER TO KEEP ME FROM RIPPING FEATHERS FROM THE MANGY FLYING DISHCLOTH.
1214: MY STOMACH’S GROWLING. LUNCHTIME!
1337: HERMIONE HAS TAKEN THE KEY DOWN TO THE SHED. PLENTY OF SPIDERS TO CHASE THERE. I DECIDE TO FOLLOW. SHE LIFTS A COBWEB COVERED BROOMSTICK OUT OF THE WAY AND I SEE AN OLD, RUSTY MONSTER WITH FOUR WHEELS AND ENORMOUS STARING EYES. I APPROACH WITH CAUTION, SNIFFING ITS REAR END, WHICH SUDDENLY EMITS A BURST OF FOUL SMOKE. APPARENTLY SATISFIED, HERMIONE LEFT THE SHED, LEAVING ME ALONE WITH THE HULKING BEAST.
1354: I'VE STARED INTO ITS EYES FOR SEVERAL MINUTES... NEARLY TEN. I FINALLY HAD TO BLINK. DARN THING DIDN'T EVEN TWITCH.
1359: WITH A SUDDEN INSPIRATION, I BROUGHT THE BEAST AN OFFERING: A BIG, FAT RAT, WHICH I PLACED ON THE GROUND IN FRONT OF IT. STILL NO RESPONSE. APPARENTLY, THE MYSTERIOUS CREATURE WILL NOT BE PLACATED.
1401: HERMIONE'S CALLING MY NAME. PERHAPS SHE HAS A TREAT FOR ME. I RESOLVE TO RETURN LATER - AFTER ANOTHER NAP.
1512: RON'S FATHER IS HERE. I PURR CONTENTEDLY WHEN HE SCRATCHES ME BEHIND THE EARS. HERMIONE LEADS HIM TO THE GARDEN.
1515: TIME TO INVESTIGATE. THEY LIFT THE BEAST'S WING AND IT STARTS GROWLING, QUIETLY. SUDDENLY, IT BEGINS TO MOVE. FROM MY POSITION BENEATH THE OLD GARDEN CHAIRS, I CAN SEE IT INCHING ITS WAY FORWARD.
1517: RON'S FATHER IS POINTING HIS WAND AT THE CREATURE. I'M HOLDING MY BREATH. THE BEAST SHUDDERS AND JERKS FORWARD A FEW FEET. HERMIONE CHEERS AND ASKS RON'S FATHER IF HE BROUGHT TURTLE WAX. HE SAID A SPELL WOULD BE FASTER, AND WAVING HIS WAND ONCE AGAIN, HE MUTTERED AUTOMOTUM POLIRERUM.
1520: THE BEAST IS GLEAMING IN THE SUNSHINE. AMAZING SPELL.
1530: AFTER TINKERING INSIDE ITS HUGE, GAPING MOUTH WITH EVERY EVIDENCE OF ENJOYMENT, RON’S FATHER DECLARED THAT IT WAS IN WORKING ORDER.
1623: I WANDERED INTO THE KITCHEN JUST IN TIME TO GREET RON, WHO WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO EAT.
1630: THE FLYING PEST HAS EATEN MY DEAD DORMOUSE. I WAS SAVING IT FOR A PEACEFUL AND LIGHT SNACK TO TIDE ME OVER UNTIL DINNER.
1640: RON'S FATHER ENTERS THE KITCHEN. RON SEEMED SURPRISED TO SEE HIM. HERMIONE ENTERS, A HUGE SMILE ON HER FACE. RON QUICKLY SWALLOWS THE LAST MOUTHFUL OF CRUSTY BREAD AND CHEESE HE'D BEEN EATING THEN ASKS THEM WHY THEY WERE LOOKING SO CHEERFUL.
1644: HERMIONE LEADS RON OUT INTO THE GARDEN WITH HER KERCHIEF COVERING HIS EYES. RON TRIPS OVER THE THRESHOLD AND HERMIONE TUMBLES ALONGSIDE HIM. I CONSIDER TRIPPING HIM AGAIN, BUT DECIDE IT'S NOT WORTH THE RISK. LAST TIME I MADE RON TRIP, HERMIONE'S FAVORITE VASE WAS SMASHED TO SMITHEREENS.
1646: RON SEES THE BEAST AS HERMIONE TAKES THE KERCHIEF FROM HIS FACE. HE SEEMS CONFUSED. HE STARES AT IT WITH HIS MOUTH HANGING OPEN.
1649: RON HAS VENTURED INSIDE THE BELLY OF THE BEAST. HE CHEERS WITH GLEE AS IT STARTS TO MAKE SOFT PURRING SOUNDS. INTRIGUED, I MOVE CLOSER, BUT START BACK IN ALARM WHEN A LOUD BANG ISSUES FROM THE CREATURE'S REAR END.
1652: THE CREATURE HAS BEGUN TO MOVE SLOWLY FORWARD. IT CIRCLES THE GARDEN. RON'S FACE IS ALL SMILES. HE WAVES TO HERMIONE AND SHE GRINS AND WAVES BACK.
1700: I SPOT A GNOME AMONG THE ROSE BUSHES, AND POUNCE. I MISS THE GNOME BY MERE INCHES AS I CHASE IT FRANTICALLY AROUND THE POND. HERMIONE SCREAMS AS THE CREATURE SUDDENLY CHANGES DIRECTION TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ME.
1701: RON STOPS AND GETS OUT QUICKLY. NOT NOTICING HIS PROXIMITY TO THE POND, RON LEANS AGAINST A TREE LIMB. IT SNAPS QUITE SUDDENLY AND POOR RON TUMBLES INTO THE WATER.
1718: EVERYONE'S BACK INSIDE THE KITCHEN HAVING A CUP OF TEA. RON STILL HAS A TOWEL IN HIS HAND. HE'S BEEN GIVING ME THE EVIL EYE EVER SINCE I CAME IN WITH THE GNOME IN MY MOUTH.
1722: THE GNOME REGAINS CONSCIOUSNESS ON HERMIONE'S LILAC CUSHION AND QUICKLY SCAMPERS BACK OUTSIDE. I CONSIDER FOLLOWING HIM, BUT, AS I'M IN THE KITCHEN, I DECIDE IT'S SNACK TIME.
1725: UNBELIEVABLE! HERMIONE'S SHOOED ME OUT INTO THE GARDEN! WHY WOULD SHE DO SUCH A THING? MAYBE SHE THOUGHT I'D BEEN TO BLAME FOR RON'S FOUL MOOD? SHE HAD LAUGHED A LITTLE WHEN RON FELL INTO THE POND. HUMANS ARE SO TEMPERAMENTAL. I'LL SHOW HER!
1802: I HAVE DUG UP HER AGAPANTHUS BY THE FRONT DOOR. WILL ATTACK THE PETUNIAS NEXT.
1817: THAT RUDDY OWL NEARLY CRASHED INTO ME WHEN I JUMPED ONTO THE KITCHEN WINDOWSILL TO WATCH HERMIONE AS SHE STARTED WATERING HER FLOWERS.
1829: MY WHISKERS TREMBLE WITH ANTICIPATION. HOWEVER, THE LETTER IN PIG'S GRASP DIVERTS HER ATTENTION. SHE SCANS IT QUICKLY, THEN SMILES, SAYING THAT HARRY AND GINNY ARE COMING TO VISIT. RON STARTS PLANNING THE FOOD FOR DINNER. I HOPE ROAST CHICKEN IS ON THE MENU. HE ALWAYS MAKES GREAT CHOICES WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD. HE'S ALL RIGHT, REALLY. I LIKE TEASING HIM SOMETIMES, BUT HERMIONE COULD HAVE DONE WORSE.
1915: I SNAFFLE A CHICKEN LEG WHILE HERMIONE"S BUSY GREETING THE POTTERS. I CARRY IT OVER TO MY FAVORITE SPOT, THE LARGE DOUBLE BED IN THE GUEST ROOM.
1931: FINISHED! WITH ROOM FOR DESSERT!
1933: GINNY IS LAUGHING AS HERMIONE TELLS HER ABOUT THE GNOME INCIDENT. EVEN RON CRACKS A SMILE AND TOSSES ME A BIT OF PIE CRUST. HARRY MENTIONS THE BEAST AGAIN. HE WANTS TO GO SEE IT. APPARENTLY, HE'D SEEN IT YEARS EARLIER.
1940: EVERYONE IS OUTSIDE TOSSING TOAST TO THE GIANT VENOMOUS TENTACULAR IN THE CORNER OF THE GARDEN THAT HERMIONE GROWS FOR POTIONS PURPOSES.
1950: RON FINALLY SHOWS HARRY THE CREATURE. HE PATS IT FONDLY, THEN JUMPS INSIDE IT.
1951: THE MONSTER VANISHES, TAKING HARRY ALONG WITH IT!
1952: IT'S VERY PECULIAR. IT LOOKS LIKE THE TIME HARRY DISAPPEARED UNDER THAT FUNNY CLOAK OF HIS. I CAN STILL HEAR THE GREAT SHINY THING GROWLING UNDERNEATH. HERMIONE AND GINNY ARE STANDING NEXT TO RON. NOBODY SEEMS SURPRISED BY THE CREATURE'S ODD BEHAVIOUR BUT IT SEEMS FISHY TO ME.
1954: IT'S BACK! HARRY CLIMBS OUT LOOKING UNHARMED.
1957: GINNY SUGGESTS VISITING NEVILLE AND SHOWING HIM THE BEAST. WHY HE'D BE INTERESTED, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND.
2001: THE BEAST FLIES? NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OF THAT, ESPECIALLY IF IT FLIES LIKE THAT DARN OWL.
2012: HARRY AND GINNY HAVE LEFT. I'M CURLED UP ON HERMIONE'S LAP, PURRING LOUDLY BECAUSE SHE'S STROKING ME. MAYBE I SHOULDN'T HAVE DUG UP HER AGAPANTHUSES AFTER ALL. I LOVE HER.
2102: AWAKENED AS HERMIONE STOOD.
2106: AHHH... RON'S COMFY ORANGE CHUDLEY CANNONS QUILT. PERHAPS I SHOULD BE NICER TO RON FROM NOW ON. A NICE SPIDER WILL SHOW HIM JUST HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE HIM.

Potty Five Words: "The Chronicles of Crookshanks: Meeting the Beast"
This story was written from Jun 23, 2011 to Jul 12, 2011. Seven writers contributed to the story, which is 1,260 words long. Six of the seven writers posted feedback. All times listed are EST.
- Potteraholic, Jul 17, 2011 12:07 pm: Story #138. 'The Chronicles of Crookshanks: Meeting the Beast' is up! Thanks for your patience, folks!
I liked this story, even when Crooksy is a bit of a grump to poor Pig and Ron.
Maybe he'll lighten up as the years go by and if we happen to write another 'Chronicle of Crookshanks' in the future, we'll find that he's a tad bit nicer to those two.
There were a couple of places where the story could've strayed a bit, but we managed to get it back on track. YAY, us!
Looking forward to finding out what others thought of the story...
Okay, Puck, dunno if you saw my earlier message here, but I'm passing on story-starting honors to you. Looking forward to Story #139's first five words!
- Puck, Jul 17, 2011 2:33 pm: I really liked this story. I think the whole time stamps thing kept us on track, as did seeing through the eyes of a single character. It seemed authentic when it did stray a bit, as it seemed very cat-like to be thinking about naps, spiders, annoying birds, etc.... Plus, it was fun to write.
Thanks to PAH for passing me the baton! Yes, I had checked to see it was still locked, but just saw your message on the chat thread, and checked again.
- Verity Weasley, Jul 17, 2011 3:14 pm: I think the last story turned out well too. It seemed a lot longer when I read it back than when we were writing it. I think we managed to capture Crookshanks' personality well, and although things got a little confusing with the gnome and the beast/creature, we managed to keep it on track. Altogether, a fun, highly probable day in the life of Crookshanks.
- Potteraholic, Jul 17, 2011 3:16 pm: And by straying, I didn't mean Crooksy's attention wandering thinking about food, or being annoyed at Pig. It was just one thing, really... the trio and Ginny going out in the garden to look at the car, but tossing bits of toast at something instead. 
Seemed a bit out of left field and seemed as if the 4 humans forgot what they were out there for.
- Julia H., Jul 17, 2011 6:01 pm: I've read the blog now. Despite our hero's wandering attention, as mentioned by others, it is a coherent story, and it was fun to read, as well as to write. There is one inconsistency that I discovered - Crookshanks mentions one agapanthus first, then agapanthuses later.
I like it how Crooksy's cat personality comes across, and the ending is a real punch line!
- Potteraholic, Sun Jul 17, 2011 6:18 pm: Crooksy might have planned on digging up the one plant, at first, and then got carried away later.
- Mona, Mon Jul 18, 2011 7:14 am: Crookshanks' log turned out really well, and was fun to write, too. We've managed to give him a distinctive personality, and a very endearing one at that.
I wish he was my cat!
I don't mind the toast chucking part - gives the story the Five-wordsy feel!
- Potteraholic, Jul 18, 2011 7:29 am: Okay, please excuse me, but I need to have a bit of a [rant].
It would be great, if, every once in a while, folks could acknowledge the fact that I posted the official story and stats with some words of appreciation. When I look at the comments for the other Potty Games: the trivia quiz, riddle, hangman, and 20 Questions, folks get nice comments there all the time. Granted, I am not creating the story on my own, but I am certainly compiling it, thinking of a title, formatting the text and the stats, and posting it, usually very quickly, all on my own. And sometimes, I wonder, why bother trying to get things done quickly? No one seems to say a thing about it. Yes, I realize folks are busy, but I have things to do, too. It takes more than magic to get this stuff done. [/rant]
- Mona, Mon Jul 18, 2011 8:00 am: Oh PAH, I'm so sorry!
I guess it's kind of like housework - people only notice it if it isn't done.
When you keep doing as good a job as you always do, I guess we take it for granted.
Sorry once again, and let me say it at least now - great job!
- Betelgeuse Black, Mon Jul 18, 2011 9:25 am: PAH,
I'm sorry that you have not been congratulated and thanked for your work getting this stuff together. I have only recently started with running a trivia quiz and it really does take some time. I think the forum is a great place to be because of people like you who take the time to let me stop by and drop a few posts and feel like a part of something great.
Sooooo, thank you for all that you have done for us!
- Potteraholic, Jul 18, 2011 12:31 pm: Thanks, Mona and BB. I read rants on the Chat thread from other Forum members that speak of the same sort of thing in their non-Forum lives, and I thought, "Well, it happens here, too, from time to time." Anyways, I'll put my own horn away now.
- Potteraholic, Jul 19, 2011 6:08 am: As I mentioned in this post earlier, since there is no real reason for me to hurry to post a story and its stats once it's finished, from now on Five Worders, please allow for up to a week between one story's completion and the next story's start. Thanks in advance for your patience.

- Potteraholic, Jul 17, 2011 12:07 pm: Story #138. 'The Chronicles of Crookshanks: Meeting the Beast' is up! Thanks for your patience, folks!
I liked this story, even when Crooksy is a bit of a grump to poor Pig and Ron.
Maybe he'll lighten up as the years go by and if we happen to write another 'Chronicle of Crookshanks' in the future, we'll find that he's a tad bit nicer to those two. There were a couple of places where the story could've strayed a bit, but we managed to get it back on track. YAY, us!
Looking forward to finding out what others thought of the story...
Okay, Puck, dunno if you saw my earlier message here, but I'm passing on story-starting honors to you. Looking forward to Story #139's first five words!
- Puck, Jul 17, 2011 2:33 pm: I really liked this story. I think the whole time stamps thing kept us on track, as did seeing through the eyes of a single character. It seemed authentic when it did stray a bit, as it seemed very cat-like to be thinking about naps, spiders, annoying birds, etc.... Plus, it was fun to write.
Thanks to PAH for passing me the baton! Yes, I had checked to see it was still locked, but just saw your message on the chat thread, and checked again.
- Verity Weasley, Jul 17, 2011 3:14 pm: I think the last story turned out well too. It seemed a lot longer when I read it back than when we were writing it. I think we managed to capture Crookshanks' personality well, and although things got a little confusing with the gnome and the beast/creature, we managed to keep it on track. Altogether, a fun, highly probable day in the life of Crookshanks.

And by straying, I didn't mean Crooksy's attention wandering thinking about food, or being annoyed at Pig. It was just one thing, really... the trio and Ginny going out in the garden to look at the car, but tossing bits of toast at something instead. Seemed a bit out of left field and seemed as if the 4 humans forgot what they were out there for. - Julia H., Jul 17, 2011 6:01 pm: I've read the blog now. Despite our hero's wandering attention, as mentioned by others, it is a coherent story, and it was fun to read, as well as to write. There is one inconsistency that I discovered - Crookshanks mentions one agapanthus first, then agapanthuses later.
I like it how Crooksy's cat personality comes across, and the ending is a real punch line!
- Potteraholic, Sun Jul 17, 2011 6:18 pm: Crooksy might have planned on digging up the one plant, at first, and then got carried away later.
- Mona, Mon Jul 18, 2011 7:14 am: Crookshanks' log turned out really well, and was fun to write, too. We've managed to give him a distinctive personality, and a very endearing one at that.
I wish he was my cat!
I don't mind the toast chucking part - gives the story the Five-wordsy feel!
- Potteraholic, Jul 18, 2011 7:29 am: Okay, please excuse me, but I need to have a bit of a [rant].
It would be great, if, every once in a while, folks could acknowledge the fact that I posted the official story and stats with some words of appreciation. When I look at the comments for the other Potty Games: the trivia quiz, riddle, hangman, and 20 Questions, folks get nice comments there all the time. Granted, I am not creating the story on my own, but I am certainly compiling it, thinking of a title, formatting the text and the stats, and posting it, usually very quickly, all on my own. And sometimes, I wonder, why bother trying to get things done quickly? No one seems to say a thing about it. Yes, I realize folks are busy, but I have things to do, too. It takes more than magic to get this stuff done. [/rant] - Mona, Mon Jul 18, 2011 8:00 am: Oh PAH, I'm so sorry!
I guess it's kind of like housework - people only notice it if it isn't done.
When you keep doing as good a job as you always do, I guess we take it for granted.
Sorry once again, and let me say it at least now - great job!
- Betelgeuse Black, Mon Jul 18, 2011 9:25 am: PAH,
I'm sorry that you have not been congratulated and thanked for your work getting this stuff together.
I have only recently started with running a trivia quiz and it really does take some time. I think the forum is a great place to be because of people like you who take the time to let me stop by and drop a few posts and feel like a part of something great. Sooooo, thank you for all that you have done for us!
- Potteraholic, Jul 18, 2011 12:31 pm: Thanks, Mona and BB.
I read rants on the Chat thread from other Forum members that speak of the same sort of thing in their non-Forum lives, and I thought, "Well, it happens here, too, from time to time." Anyways, I'll put my own horn away now. - Potteraholic, Jul 19, 2011 6:08 am: As I mentioned in this post earlier, since there is no real reason for me to hurry to post a story and its stats once it's finished, from now on Five Worders, please allow for up to a week between one story's completion and the next story's start. Thanks in advance for your patience.

I think the last story turned out well too. It seemed a lot longer when I read it back than when we were writing it. I think we managed to capture Crookshanks' personality well, and although things got a little confusing with the gnome and the beast/creature, we managed to keep it on track. Altogether, a fun, highly probable day in the life of Crookshanks.

excitement. It was Halloween morning
And by straying, I didn't mean Crooksy's attention wandering thinking about food, or being annoyed at Pig. It was just one thing, really... the trio and Ginny going out in the garden to look at the car, but tossing bits of toast at something instead. Seemed a bit out of left field and seemed as if the 4 humans forgot what they were out there for.
Great idea for a story, Puck!
I found another Lily and Severus story we wrote last year that's set right at the start of term. This was written when Five Words had already moved onto WX's Main Forum. But since there still was a Five Words volume on the FFF, Volume XII, with lots of posts left, we had the idea of using the remaining posts to revise previous stories. The first version of this story was chosen as a good candidate for revision, and both versions are included below. One of thesedays weeks months , ALL the previous stories will be readily accessible in the Five Words Archives. (When it comes to formatting things and getting all the codes right, things take longer than i think they will.) Maybe the Archives will be done by September 1st.

- Spoiler:
- "Lupin, Remus!"
The Sorting Ceremony was in full swing. Remus settled on the stool and put on the hat with a tear along its brim. With barely a moment's hesitation, the hat shouted, "GRYFFINDOR!" and immediately fell silent. Remus heaved a big sigh of relief as he joined the Gryffindor table.
Other names followed. "Pettigrew, Peter!" and then "Potter, James!"
"GRYFFINDOR!" the Sorting Hat called again and again.
Soon the ceremony ended, after "Snape, Severus!" had been Sorted into Slytherin along with Hemlock Wilkes.
James was tucking into a large pork chop. Sirius Black, sitting next to him, was also enjoying his meal. "Kreacher's food was horrible in comparison to these vittles."
"Who's Kreacher?" Remus asked, leaning across to reach for the pumpkin juice.
"He's the family House Elf. He hates me. Mum and Dad encourage his bad behavior and he's an annoying little—"
"You're here now, mate. Forget about it and enjoy the food. And," James continued, "pass the applesauce and the bowl of mashed potatoes."
The feast soon came to an end and the students were dismissed to their dormitories. Lily Evans, another Gryffindor, walked towards the Slytherin table. "Severus!" she called out.
A dark-haired Slytherin first-year immediately looked around, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry we didn't get to talk after the Sorting. It's a shame that you're not in Slytherin," Severus began. "Still, we'll have some classes together. I'm looking forward to Potions especially! Maybe we can sit together."
Lily nodded in agreement. "The hat seemed quite sure that I should be in Gryffindor. I don’t mind except that I'm in the same house as those two idiots on the train. I'm planning on avoiding those two, but the other Gryffindors seem very nice."
"I wish you could see my room," Severus enthused, "but we're not allowed visitors from other houses yet." They parted at the doors, Lily heading upstairs to the Gryffindor Tower, whilst Severus descended to the floor below.
The maze of changing staircases prompted Lily to run to catch up with the rest of the Gryffindors. "The password's 'belladonna'", said the Head Girl called Joanne Rowling. "Don't forget it, or you'll be sleeping out here with Peeves and Mrs. Norris. If you’re very unlucky Filch may give you a detention cleaning bedpans, without using your wands."
James chuckled. "Filch seems to hate Wizard kids, doesn't he?"
"Maybe just the obnoxious, annoying ones," responded Lily.
James nudged Sirius. "Listen to her, will you? She's probably referring to us. I don't think she likes us."
Lily walked silently through the door, without acknowledging their comment. The other two followed.
A few days later, on their way to Transfiguration, Remus and Peter sank through a trick stair. They were stuck there, side by side, until an auburn-haired Ravenclaw came along. "Oh dear! I see you've been caught. It only takes one time and you'll never be caught again." She smiled, pointed her wand, and uttered, ”Wingardium Leviosa!”
Slowly, Remus began to rise. Once he was out, Peter was able to wriggle free and then they set off for Professor McGonagall's classroom, hoping they weren't that late. McGonagall was stern but understanding. Still, Remus and Peter didn't ever want to be late again. Not after they saw what happened when James and Sirius accidentally turned their match into feathers. They were late, too, that day and didn't bother to ask about the instructions they'd need to transfigure the match properly.
"Counterclockwise," McGonagall had instructed clearly, "with a little flick of the wrist, otherwise you'll end up with something quite unexpected."
The boys truly enjoyed Transfiguration lessons with McGonagall. Potions, however, was a different story. Professor Slughorn was jolly enough, but neither Remus nor the other Gryffindor boys, except Sirius, seemed to interest him. Lily, however, had quickly become his favorite, along with Severus. They both joined the Potions Master for visits to the lake, where an interesting patch of leaping toadstools could be found.
"Now class," McGonagall continued briskly. "For homework, you will need to practice turning your matches into needles. I expect everyone to be able to do it perfectly before the next class."
"That soon, Professor?" asked Peter tremulously. He'd had no success with his match, as it had remained stubbornly, and most decidedly, a match.
However, instead of practicing their wand movements, Peter and Remus decided that they couldn't be bothered and chose to spend the weekend exploring the grounds. "Remus, after breakfast, we should go down to the Forbidden Forest,” Peter suggested.
“Okay,” Remus agreed, "but isn't it out of bounds?"
"What is?" James said, with the light of mischief twinkling in his eyes.
"The Forbidden Forest," Remus said, is sure to have many fascinating creatures, but we're not supposed to go there, right?"
"Well," said Sirius, joining the conversation, "that's the best reason to do it, because it's not allowed!"
"Well we could always use my cloak, I guess. It'll cover all four of us, I think. We'll be able to take it off once we get to the forest," James said, winking conspiratorially. The four of them smiled and nodded in agreement.
Very soon, the four boys left the castle and proceeded slowly down the path, under the invisibility cloak. It was a bit uncomfortable, but they were sure they hadn't been spotted.
"Let's go over there," Sirius suggested, pointing towards a tree quite far into the forest. There was an interesting path that led to it.
"We can take off the cloak now as we're out of sight," said Remus matter-of-factly.
They shrugged off the cloak and looked all around. "I'm not sure about this," Peter whispered, his eyes darting furtively to the shadows beyond the nearest trees. "I've heard there are werewolves in here," he continued, edging closer to Remus.
James laughed. "I don't think—"
A loud SNAP! in the undergrowth made them all jump at once. "What was that?" whispered a very frightened and cowering Peter.
"Wands out!" Sirius commanded, as they peered into the foliage.
"Maybe we should head back," Remus suggested, but James and Sirius seemed too intent on investigating the mysterious sound, and started walking towards it. Suddenly, a menacing growl was heard, making them both retreat, faster than you could say, "Expelliarmus!"
"Fang! Heel!" a voice boomed. "How many times have I told yeh not to go chasing them bowtruckles?" Rubeus Hagrid, Hogwarts' caretaker, emerged from the gloom and advanced towards the four Gryffindors. "What yeh doin' wanderin' around here? Back ter school! Come, Fang!” Hagrid shepherded the miscreants back to the castle, then went to reinforce the fence around the newly-planted Whomping Willow.
The friends headed for the lake and saw the giant squid basking in the shallows. Lily was tickling his tentacles and Severus was sitting nearby, watching. "Sev, come and look," she called, "he's so friendly!"
Severus inched closer and cautiously reached down. One lone finger gingerly touched the squid and quickly retracted. "There, I've touched it."
Sirius walked up to the pair and said, "What are you doing with a slimy creature like that? Don't you think you could find something better to hang out with?"
"I like the Giant Squid and he's really not slimy ," retorted Lily.
"I wasn't referring to the squid!" Sirius quipped , winking at James.
"Who are you talking about then?" Lily demanded angrily. She suddenly realized what Sirius meant, stood up quickly and stuck her finger into Sirius' face. "You take that back! Why are you always so nasty? Come on Sev, let's go!" She hauled him to his feet and they headed toward the castle.
"Wait!" James called.
Lily turned, glaring at James as though he was a rotten flobberworm. "Well? What do you want?” she asked accusingly. "More insults?" And without waiting to hear his answer, she turned on her heel and stormed off.
Severus looked back at the taunting duo with disdain and wondered why they continued to follow him and Lily around. "Always have to pair up to pick on someone. Pathetic!" Severus proclaimed, vehemently. "Brave Gryffindors? Don't make me laugh!"
Lily, calling over her shoulder, said, "Don't worry about those arrogant toerags, Sev. They just want attention." James sighed as he watched her retreating back. Sirius shrugged and Severus left.
“Why did you do that if you like that girl?" Remus asked.
"But I didn't say anything this time!" James protested , loudly.
"Then why didn't you stop Sirius from having a go at Severus?"
"She really didn't give me a chance, Remus."
"It's hard luck when the girl you fancy," Sirius began, "won't even give you the time of day!”
"Shut up! I don't even like her!"
"Why not?" Peter asked. "Lily is very pretty and popular. She's a nice girl and very talented from what I can see in all of our classes."
"She's a swot," Sirius muttered. "Who'd want to go out with someone like that?"
"Sirius, you know you get good marks yourself. Maybe you're a swot too," laughed James.
"Well, I'm naturally brilliant, suave, sophisticated and handsome," Sirius replied, clapping his friend's back.
"Suave? What does that mean?" Peter asked, unsure if Sirius knew what he was talking about. The four of them just laughed the whole thing off and headed back to the castle.
Lily and Severus had flopped down under the shade of a tree. The water was so calm and peaceful. Despite the taunting, Severus was enjoying the warm September day, especially with Lily sitting beside him and chatting about their latest Potions lesson. They had both found that they enjoyed the artful complexity of potion-making. Other students complained about all the chopping and measuring, but Severus was fascinated by the endless possibilities in combining different ingredients.
"Did you see what happened when I combined the dried nettles with stewed horn slugs?" asked Lily.
"Yes," Severus smiled. "That wisp of purple smoke rose and spun in circles! That was amazing!"
"And when you added the crushed snake fangs, sparks twinkled right above the cauldron's surface!" added Lily excitedly. "Reminded me of when Tuney had sparklers on her birthday cake."
"I still can't believe she had the nerve to write to the Headmaster, asking to be accepted into this school. She's not magical at all! Muggles don't belong here. She—"
"Hang on, Sev," Lily protested. "I know Tuney has been a bit rude to you when we've been together, but she's still my sister and she must feel so awful not being able to come here. So don't be mean!”
"But, Lily, I only meant that she wouldn't fit in here. She'd be an outcast," Severus explained. "She'd always say the wrong thing, and—"
"You're just being cruel, Sev! Stop! Besides, you're one to talk! You don't exactly fit in back home, do you?"
"I don't care about fitting in with Muggles. I've never felt the need to talk to them or get to know them!"
Beside herself, Lily seethed, "My whole family are Muggles, so I guess you don't want me around either! I might as well become friends with that Gryffindor gang! At least they aren't prejudiced against Muggle-borns!" With that, Lily got up, whipped around, and marched off towards the castle.
Severus rushed after her, saying, "Lily, wait! That's not what I meant at all. You are the best sort of person I've ever met." He faltered, then said, "I'm sorry for saying... I didn't mean to..." Severus looked awkwardly down at his scuffed shoes.
Lily sighed. She stopped and turned back, saying, "Sev. Listen. Sometimes you get carried away when you talk about Muggles. Remember, I'm Muggle-born! Merlin's pants! The next thing I know, you'll be hating us, too. I couldn't be friends with someone who hated people because they're Muggles—"
"I don't," Severus interrupted. "Really."
Lily's stare penetrated his own, as if she were trying to read his thoughts. "Sev, let's forget it, okay? Why don't we go to the library and research rare potion ingredients? Maybe Professor Slughorn will be there, too."
Severus nodded, and they walked off together.

"Lupin, Remus!"
The Sorting Ceremony was in full swing. Remus settled on the stool and put on the hat with a tear along its brim. With barely a moment's hesitation, the hat shouted, "GRYFFINDOR!" and immediately fell silent. Remus heaved a big sigh of relief as he joined the Gryffindor table.
Other names followed. "Pettigrew, Peter!" and then "Potter, James!"
"GRYFFINDOR!" the Sorting Hat called again and again.
Soon the ceremony ended, after "Snape, Severus!" had been Sorted into Slytherin along with Hemlock Wilkes.
"Welcome to Slytherin," said Lucius Malfoy with a superior smile, patting each first-year's shoulder. "If you have any questions, you may ask me, since I am the Prefect." His badge gleamed brightly as he spoke.
After the Headmaster's short welcome speech, platters of food appeared on all the tables and the feast began.
Back at the Gryffindor table, a ravenous James was tucking into a large pork chop. Sirius Black, sitting next to him, was also enjoying his meal. "Kreacher's food was horrible in comparison to these vittles."
"Who's Kreacher?" Remus asked, leaning across to reach for the pumpkin juice.
"He's the family House Elf. He hates me. Mum and Dad encourage his bad behavior and he's an annoying little—"

"Counterclockwise," McGonagall had instructed clearly, "with a little flick of the wrist, otherwise you'll end up with something quite unexpected."
"More unexpected than feathers?" James asked impudently, holding out a bunch of fuzzy, brown ones. Next to him, Sirius let out a small bark of laughter.
The Professor's reaction was swift. "Mr. Potter! Mr. Black!" she said ominously. "Unless you want to be dismissed from my class forever, you'd better pay closer attention and keep your ears open when I speak." She was looking daggers at them, closely monitoring their reaction. They looked slightly penitent.
"Now class," McGonagall continued briskly. "For homework, you will need to practice turning your matches into needles. I expect everyone to be able to do it perfectly before the next class."
"That soon, Professor?" asked Peter tremulously. He'd had no success with his match, as it had remained stubbornly, and most decidedly, a match.
"Yes, Mr. Pettigrew," MacGonagall replied crisply. "I've given you sufficient instruction to master this skill in a week's time, so be sure to use your time wisely."
Despite the challenges and the hard, disciplined work, the boys truly enjoyed Transfiguration lessons with McGonagall.
Potions, however, was a different story. Professor Slughorn was jolly enough, but neither Remus nor the other Gryffindor boys, except Sirius, seemed to interest him. Sirius, being a member of an influential family with several famous ancestors, like Phineas Nigellus, was invited to be part of the Professor's exclusive 'Slug Club'. Slughorn had referred to Headmaster Black, the last Slytherin Headmaster of Hogwarts, in their first lesson, extolling his virtues and sense of fairness.
"Fairness?" snorted Sirius. "He knew very little about fairness. Nothing, in fact, about anything except for giving loads of assignments and detentions."
Slughorn was not too pleased. Lily, however, had quickly become his favorite, along with Severus. Lily possessed an amazing knowledge of herbs and magical fungi for a Muggle-born of her age, due to extensive reading, and Severus had a natural affinity for the most imaginative ways of potion-making, surprising Slughorn with his original ideas and eagerness to experiment.
That morning, while working on a potion to cure boils, Severus had suggested that an infusion of dried bubotuber pus added before the porcupine quills could possibly reduce the size of the blisters, and Slughorn was so impressed that he asked him to accompany him when he went to collect potions ingredients. He asked Lily to join them, too. She was happy to oblige. They both joined the Potions Master and visited the lake, where an interesting patch of leaping toadstools could be found.
Later that afternoon, the first-year Gryffindor boys were relaxing in the common room, playing chess. Remus reminded them that they had homework from Professor McGonagall. "We've got to read the chapter assigned and practice turning matches into needles, remember?"
"We've got all weekend for that," Peter said. "Let's do it tomorrow."
However, instead of practicing their wand movements, Peter and Remus decided that they couldn't be bothered and chose to spend the weekend exploring the grounds. "Remus, after breakfast, we should go down to the Forbidden Forest," Peter suggested.
"Okay," Remus agreed, "but isn't it out of bounds?"
"What is?" James said, with the light of mischief twinkling in his eyes.
"The Forbidden Forest," Remus said, is sure to have many fascinating creatures, but we're not supposed to go there, right?"
"Well," said Sirius, joining the conversation, "that's the best reason to do it, because it's not allowed!"
"Well we could always use my cloak, I guess. It'll cover all four of us, I think. We'll be able to take it off once we get to the forest," James said, winking conspiratorially. The four of them smiled and nodded in agreement.
Very soon, the four boys left the castle and proceeded slowly down the path, under the invisibility cloak. It was a bit uncomfortable, but they were sure they hadn't been spotted.
"Let's go over there," Sirius suggested, pointing towards a tree quite far into the forest. There was an interesting path that led to it.
"We can take off the cloak now as we're out of sight," said Remus matter-of-factly.
They shrugged off the cloak and looked all around. "I'm not sure about this," Peter whispered, his eyes darting furtively to the shadows beyond the nearest trees. "I've heard there are werewolves in here," he continued, edging closer to Remus.
James laughed. "I don't think—"
A loud SNAP! in the undergrowth made them all jump at once. "What was that?" whispered a very frightened and cowering Peter.
"Wands out!" Sirius commanded, as they peered into the foliage.
"Maybe we should head back," Remus suggested, but James and Sirius seemed too intent on investigating the mysterious sound, and started walking towards it. Suddenly, a menacing growl was heard, making them both retreat, faster than you could say, "Expelliarmus!"
"Fang! Heel!" a voice boomed. "How many times have I told yeh not to go chasing them bowtruckles?" Rubeus Hagrid, Hogwarts' caretaker, emerged from the gloom and advanced towards the four Gryffindors. "What yeh doin' wanderin' around here? Back ter school! Come, Fang!" Hagrid shepherded the miscreants back to the castle, then went to reinforce the fence around the newly-planted Whomping Willow.
The friends headed for the lake and saw the giant squid basking in the shallows. Lily was tickling his tentacles and Severus was sitting nearby, watching. "Sev, come and look," she called, "he's so friendly!"
Severus inched closer and cautiously reached down. One lone finger gingerly touched the squid and quickly retracted. "There, I've touched it."
Sirius walked up to the pair and said, "What are you doing with a slimy creature like that? Don't you think you could find something better to hang out with?"
"I like the giant squid and he's really not slimy," retorted Lily.
"I wasn't referring to the squid!" Sirius quipped, winking at James.
"Who are you talking about then?" Lily demanded angrily. She suddenly realized what Sirius meant, stood up quickly and stuck her finger into Sirius' face. "You take that back! Why are you always so nasty? Come on Sev, let's go!" She hauled him to his feet and they headed toward the castle.
"Wait!" James called.
Lily turned, glaring at James as though he was a rotten flobberworm. "Well? What do you want?” she asked accusingly. "More insults?" And without waiting to hear his answer, she turned on her heel and stormed off.
Severus looked back at the taunting duo with disdain and wondered why they continued to follow him and Lily around. "Always have to pair up to pick on someone. Pathetic!" Severus proclaimed, vehemently. "Brave Gryffindors? Don't make me laugh!"
Lily, calling over her shoulder, said, "Don't worry about those arrogant toerags, Sev. They just want attention."
James sighed as he watched her retreating back. Sirius shrugged and Severus left.
"Why did you do that if you like that girl?" Remus asked.
"But I didn't say anything this time!" James protested, loudly.
"Then why didn't you stop Sirius from having a go at Severus?"
"She really didn't give me a chance, Remus."
"It's hard luck when the girl you fancy," Sirius began, "won't even give you the time of day!"
"Shut up! I don't even like her!"
"Why not?" Peter asked. "Lily is very pretty and popular. She's a nice girl and very talented from what I can see in all of our classes."
"She's a swot," Sirius muttered. "Who'd want to go out with someone like that?"
"Sirius, you know you get good marks yourself. Maybe you're a swot too," laughed James.
"Well, I'm naturally brilliant, suave, sophisticated and handsome," Sirius replied, clapping his friend's back.
"Suave? What does that mean?" Peter asked, unsure if Sirius knew what he was talking about. The four of them just laughed the whole thing off and headed back to the castle.
Lily and Severus had flopped down under the shade of a tree. The water was so calm and peaceful. Despite the taunting, Severus was enjoying the warm September day, especially with Lily sitting beside him and chatting about their latest Potions lesson. They had both found that they enjoyed the artful complexity of potion-making. Other students complained about all the chopping and measuring, but Severus was fascinated by the endless possibilities in combining different ingredients.
"Did you see what happened when I combined the dried nettles with stewed horn slugs?" asked Lily.
"Yes," Severus smiled. "That wisp of purple smoke rose and spun in circles! That was amazing!"
"And when you added the crushed snake fangs, sparks twinkled right above the cauldron's surface!" added Lily excitedly. "Reminded me of when Tuney had sparklers on her birthday cake."
"I still can't believe she had the nerve to write to the Headmaster, asking to be accepted into this school. She's not magical at all! Muggles don't belong here. She—"
"Hang on, Sev," Lily protested. "I know Tuney has been a bit rude to you when we've been together, but she's still my sister and she must feel so awful not being able to come here. So don't be mean!"
"But, Lily, I only meant that she wouldn't fit in here. She'd be an outcast," Severus explained. "She'd always say the wrong thing, and—"
"You're just being cruel, Sev! Stop! Besides, you're one to talk! You don't exactly fit in back home, do you?"
"I don't care about fitting in with Muggles. I've never felt the need to talk to them or get to know them!"
Beside herself, Lily seethed, "My whole family are Muggles, so I guess you don't want me around either! I might as well become friends with that Gryffindor gang! At least they aren't prejudiced against Muggle-borns!" With that, Lily got up, whipped around, and marched off towards the castle.
Severus rushed after her, saying, "Lily, wait! That's not what I meant at all. You are the best sort of person I've ever met." He faltered, then said, "I'm sorry for saying... I didn't mean to..." Severus looked awkwardly down at his scuffed shoes.
Lily sighed. She stopped and turned back, saying, "Sev. Listen. Sometimes you get carried away when you talk about Muggles. Remember, I'm Muggle-born! Merlin's pants! The next thing I know, you'll be hating me, too. I couldn't be friends with someone who hated people because they're Muggles—"
“I don't," Severus interrupted. "Really."
Lily's stare penetrated his own, as if she were trying to read his thoughts. "Sev, let's forget it, okay? Why don't we go to the library and research rare potion ingredients? Maybe Professor Slughorn will be there, too."
Severus nodded, and they walked off together.

Yes, great story idea!
I have not had the time yet to read Crooksy's blog. Will do it tonight, hopefully.

I've read the blog now. Despite our hero's wandering attention, as mentioned by others, it is a coherent story, and it was fun to read, as well as to write. There is one inconsistency that I discovered - Crookshanks mentions one agapanthus first, then agapanthuses later.
I like it how Crooksy's cat personality comes across, and the ending is a real punch line!

Crooksy might have planned on digging up the one plant, at first, and then got carried away later.

, as it always did at
Crookshanks' log turned out really well, and was fun to write, too. We've managed to give him a distinctive personality, and a very endearing one at that.
I wish he was my cat!
I don't mind the toast chucking part - gives the story the Five-wordsy feel!

"Hi, Severus," said Lily
Thanks for the comments about the Crookshanks story, folks. It would be great to hear from everyone who participated, even if it was just for a few posts. Thanks!
Okay, please excuse me, but I need to have a bit of a [rant]. It would be great, if, every once in a while, folks could acknowledge the fact that I posted the official story and stats with some words of appreciation. When I look at the comments for the other Potty Games: the trivia quiz, riddle, hangman, and 20 Questions, folks get nice comments there all the time. Granted, I am not creating the story on my own, but I am certainly compiling it, thinking of a title, formatting the text and the stats, and posting it, usually very quickly, all on my own. And sometimes, i wonder, why bother trying to get things done quickly? No one seems to say a thing about it. Yes, I realize folks are busy, but I have things to do, too. It takes more than magic to get this stuff done. [/rant]

Oh PAH, I'm so sorry!
I guess it's kind of like housework - people only notice it if it isn't done.
When you keep doing as good a job as you always do, I guess we take it for granted.
Sorry once again, and let me say it at least now - great job!

PAH,
I'm sorry that you have not been congratulated and thanked for your work getting this stuff together. I have only recently started with running a trivia quiz and it really does take some time. I think the forum is a great place to be because of people like you who take the time to let me stop by and drop a few posts and feel like a part of something great.
Sooooo, thank you for all that you have done for us!
