Potty Game: Five Words (Vol. XV)
Potteraholic Mon Jun 13, 2011 4:51 pm
Welcome to Potty Five Words, Volume XV! This is a game invented by the Potties, first played in October 2005 on the Harry Potter Lexicon FanFiction Forum on World Crossing. It resided there for 5 years and 12 volumes/threads, then moved over to the Harry Potter Lexicon Forum in July 2010; some Forum members wondered if it could be played on the Main Forum, along with all the other wonderful Potty Games so many of us enjoyed. So, with Kip's approval... the move was made!
And then the whole Harry Potter Lexicon Forum moved, to our new home here on forumotion.com. This is now the second Five Words thread here, and we have settled in quite nicely.
Now... back to the game!
The rules of this game are simple: place five words in your post that continue the story told through other members' five words. Strung together, the five words will make a much, much longer story. (You might add another much to that list if some people decide to go on a posting spree, which has been done in the past.
)
If you're new to Five Words, or even if you've been playing since since the beginning, take a look at some suggestions Finn (the creator of the Five Words thread on the Harry Potter Lexicon Forum), made at the conclusion of Volume V.
We ask that you please post your five words in bold format. This will help distinguish your addition to the story from other side comments you might make in your post, and help the story posters when they compile the story at the end. The way to do this is by:
— typing a in front of the text you want in bold then after it to unbold anything else you might post.
Enjoy!

Thanks for your patience, Five Worders... Story #137 is finally up! And we're starting Volume XV with story #138!
I liked the horoscopes we thought of for Firenze. They sounded serious and calm, like Firenze. But I think I preferred the zaniness of the ones we wrote for Sybill Trelawney. Some of them were quite hilarious.
Please take a few minutes to read Firenze's horoscope and post a quick comment about it.
Okay, moving on from horoscopes — for a brief moment, I considered having this next 'story' be another round of Trelawney's horoscopes — and onto something we tried in January. My avatar probably gives you a hint... that's right! Another installment of 'The Chronicles of Crookshanks'!
(spoiler #2)
So, since we wrote a story recently about Harry and Ginny Potter, I thought we could write one about the newly-married Ron and Hermione, told from the perspective of that witty ginger-haired half-feline/half-Kneazle. (This was an idea inspired by Hedwig's Log, as written by Mark on 'Mark Reads Harry Potter'.) The time stamp will be part of the five words and will be using military time style.
The story will be preceded by the following words:
DETAIL LOG
CROOKSHANKS
SUBJECT: HERMIONE GRANGER
DATE: 23 JUNE 2002
So, here we go...
1015: HERMIONE ASKS RON TO

Today's Horoscopes
~ with guest astrologer
Sybill Trelawney,
Professor of Divination,
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft
and Wizardry
Pisces - Your friendships will be tested due to a strange alignment of the moon and Neptune.
Aries - You will forget an important engagement when you meet a mysterious stranger.
Taurus - Your love life will take an unexpected turn if you pack too much for an upcoming trip.
Gemini - Loved ones will betray you. Beware of a sudden shower of compliments.
Cancer - Expect the unexpected, especially in the presence of a red-haired man.
Leo – Decisions made whilst the Full Moon is at its zenith will pay dividends.
Virgo - With Mars and Venus in conjunction, you may find that a lost possession reappears.
Libra - You're the key to discovering a new solution to a dietary dilemma.
Scorpio - Someone you thought was malicious and spiteful will lavish you with smiles and fine wine. Be on your guard.
Sagittarius - You may suddenly find yourself the center of attention. Embrace the spotlight and recite verses from Orotund Odes.
Capricorn - You're starting to feel like everyone is out to get you. Some spring cleaning will cleanse your aura.
Aquarius - The time is right for you to start planning a forthcoming event. Favorable conditions ahead.
Please take a few minutes to read Firenze's horoscope and post a quick comment about it.

(spoiler #2)- Spoiler:
DETAIL LOG
CROOKSHANKS
SUBJECT: HERMIONE GRANGER
DATE: 25 DECEMBER 1994
0730: HERMIONE RECEIVES PRESENTS FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY. SHE SHARES SOME SPECIAL MUGGLE SWEETS WITH THE OTHER GIRLS IN THE COMMON ROOM. I WAS OFFERED SOME, TOO, BUT THANK YOU, I PREFER TASTY TREATS.
0745: HERMIONE WENT TO SEE THOSE TWO AMUSING BOYS, HARRY AND RON. RON ASKED HER (AGAIN!) ABOUT SOME BALL AND WHO SHE WAS GOING WITH. SHE TOLD HIM TO STOP ASKING.
0830: HERMIONE RETURNED FROM BREAKFAST WITH HARRY AND THE WEASLEYS. I WAS STATIONED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM, LYING ON MY FAVORITE RUG, WHICH PROVIDED A CLEAR VIEW OF THE FIREPLACE AND ALL THE ACTIVITY THAT WOULD FOLLOW.
0832: A GAME OF WIZARD CHESS BETWEEN HARRY AND RON BEGINS.
0836: RON WINS. I CHASE THE SHRIEKING PAWNS.
0837: I MUST'VE BEEN TOO FORCEFUL IN APPREHENDING THE MARAUDING PIECES, AS HERMIONE DECIDED TO PICK ME UP AND CARRY ME OVER TO THE SOFA. SHE AND GINNY WERE SORTING THROUGH SOME MISSHAPEN KNITTED ELF HATS AND TANGLED BALLS OF WOOL. IT TOOK ME HOURS OF UNROLLING AND SCRABBLING TO GET IT THAT WAY. NEVER MIND.
0839: GINNY FOUND THE MAGIC SPOT UNDER MY CHIN. WHILST RUBBING IT, SHE BEGAN TALKING ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL I WAS WHEN I TRIED TO KILL THAT CONNIVING AND COWARDLY 'RAT', SCABBERS. I THINK I LIKE GINNY.
0845: HERMIONE GOES UPSTAIRS TO GET ME SOME SPECIAL CHRISTMAS TREATS.
0850: SHE HASN'T RETURNED. I GO UPSTAIRS TO INVESTIGATE, AND FIND HER BUSY WITH PRETTY THINGS IN HER WARDROBE. HOW COULD SHE FORGET ME?
0855: HERMIONE BEGINS POWDERING HER NOSE.
0905: HERMIONE IS STILL LOOKING AT HER REFLECTION, HER HAIR ESPECIALLY. I UNDERSTAND GROOMING IS IMPORTANT, BUT FIRST THINGS FIRST.
0906: POUNCED ON HERMIONE'S SHOULDER FROM THE TOP OF THE WARDROBE. HERMIONE WASN'T PLEASED. SHE NEEDS TO PRIORITIZE CORRECTLY.
0910: TREATS SERVED, FINALLY. DELICIOUS!
0920: I SETTLE DOWN ON THE BED I SHARE WITH HERMIONE AND KNEAD IT UNTIL IT'S SOFT. NAP TIME.
1133: A STRANGE NOISE FROM OUTSIDE AWAKENED ME. IT WAS HAGRID SINGING CHRISTMAS CAROLS. REMINDED ME OF THE TIME I LIVED AT THE MAGICAL MENAGERIE WITH ALL ITS INHABITANTS' DISCORDANT TUNES.
1135: I SAUNTER DOWNSTAIRS TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY FOOD. NO LUCK, BUT I SUCCEED IN TRIPPING RON. HE YELLS SOMETHING ABOUT MERLIN AND UNDERWEAR. HERMIONE TELLS HIM TO CALM DOWN. YOU'D THINK HE WOULD BE MORE CIVIL, CONSIDERING HOW I UNMASKED THAT DUPLICITOUS EXCUSE OF A HUMAN BEING, WORMTAIL. MY NEXT HAIRBALL IS DESTINED FOR RON'S BED.
1150: EVERYONE LEAVES FOR LUNCH IN THE GREAT HALL. THINKING ABOUT ALL THAT FOOD MADE ME HUNGRY, SO I SCAMPERED OFF QUIETLY BEHIND HERMIONE, BUT DETOURED TO THE KITCHENS. I MUST HAVE SOME STUFFING. IT IS CHRISTMAS, AFTER ALL.
1200: DOBBY HAS GIVEN ME A VERITABLE FEAST!
1230: I'M STUFFED! I DRAG MYSELF BACK UP TO THE COMMON ROOM FOR ANOTHER NAP.
1245: I SETTLE IN THE BEST ARMCHAIR BY THE FIREPLACE.
1710: I WAKE AND STRETCH. DARKNESS HAS FALLEN OUTSIDE. I HEAR HERMIONE'S FOOTSTEPS ON THE STAIRS SO I PREPARE FOR SOME MUCH-NEEDED SCRATCHING BEHIND MY EARS. UNUSUALLY, HERMIONE IGNORES ME AND RUMMAGES THROUGH THE PILE OF MAGAZINES STACKED ON THE TABLE.
1715: HERMIONE, FINDING THE ISSUE OF 'WITCH WEEKLY' SHE WAS LOOKING FOR, TOOK IT AND DISAPPEARED UPSTAIRS.
1721: I ENTER THE DORMITORY TO SEE WHAT HERMIONE IS UP TO. SHE SEEMS VERY PREOCCUPIED. SHE'S IGNORED ME AGAIN. I JUMP UP ON THE BED.
1723: PLAINTIVE MEOWING FINALLY ACHIEVES A RESPONSE. HERMIONE PICKS ME UP. SHE SMELLS DIFFERENT AND WHEN SHE STROKES MY FUR, IT IMMEDIATELY GETS SMOOTH AND SHINY. I STRUT OVER TO THE MIRROR.
1725: I AM UNSPEAKABLY HANDSOME! I MEAN, I'M QUITE GOOD-LOOKING, GENERALLY, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY. HERMIONE LOOKS PRETTIER THAN I'VE EVER SEEN HER, BUT SHE DOESN'T SEEM SATISFIED AND CONTINUES GROOMING.
1855: HERMIONE IS CHANGING INTO HER GOWN. SHE HAS BEEN JOINED IN THE DORMITORY BY THE OTHER GIRLS BUT SHE STAYS HIDDEN BEHIND THE LONG CURTAINS AROUND OUR BED.
1950: FINALLY, HERMIONE IS ALONE. SHE EMERGES FROM THE CURTAINS. I BARELY RECOGNISE HER. SHE LOOKS STUNNING! SHE'LL TURN EVERY HEAD!
1952: SHE TAKES ONE LAST LOOK AT HERSELF, THEN TURNS TO ME AND SAYS, 'WISH ME LUCK, CROOKSY.'
2011: FEELING PECKISH. I GO BACK DOWN TO THE KITCHENS.
2016: HAD TO DODGE SOME SNIGGERING SIXTH-YEARS IN THE CORRIDOR FIRST. HEARD LOTS OF LOUD MUSIC COMING FROM THE GREAT HALL. SOUNDED QUITE GOOD, TOO.
2047: BACK FROM THE KITCHENS, I DECIDE TO LINGER FOR A BIT OUTSIDE THE GREAT HALL AND WATCH SOME OF THE DANCING. I LOOK FOR A SUITABLE VANTAGE POINT TO VIEW THE PROCEEDINGS.
2051: FOUND A GREAT PERCH IN ONE OF THE MAGNIFICENTLY LARGE CHRISTMAS TREES IN THE ENTRANCE HALL.
2057: FINALLY SAW HERMIONE. SHE WAS DANCING WITH ONE OF THE GRYFFINDORS... NEVILLE, I THINK. SHE LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS HAVING A... BALL! CHUCKLE, CHUCKLE. THERE WAS A STEADY STREAM OF DANCERS SWIRLING AROUND THE HALL, AND COUPLES DISAPPEARING INTO THE COURTYARD.
2112: HERMIONE'S DANCING WITH A TALL, DARK STRANGER. SHE'S SMILING BRIGHTLY AT HIM AND LOOKS HAPPY. BEHIND HER, SITTING AT A TABLE, RON LOOKS DISGRUNTLED. I WONDER WHY.
2117: HAGRID TWIRLS BY, DANCING WITH THE LARGEST WOMAN I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE. AND I'VE SEEN SOME PRETTY LARGE WOMEN, MAKE NO MISTAKE!
2132: I YAWN AND DECIDE THIS PERCH ISN'T AS COMFORTABLE AS IT WAS NEARLY AN HOUR AGO. THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH DANCING I CAN WATCH.
2143: IN MY FAVORITE CHAIR BY THE FIRE, I SETTLE IN FOR A NAP.
0004: THE SOUND OF RAISED VOICES INTERRUPTED MY DEEP SLUMBER, WHERE I'D BEEN DREAMING OF A SUNNY GARDEN FILLED WITH FAT, SOMNOLENT MICE. I SAW A LARGE BOWL OF CREAM BEING CARRIED TOWARDS ME BY A BEAUTIFUL FELINE WITH SOFT SILKY BLACK FUR AND LOVELY SHARP CLAWS. SHE WAS ABOUT TO GIVE MY TUMMY RUB WHEN A LOUD NOISE, HERMIONE'S ANGRY VOICE, SCARED HER AWAY.
0007: HERMIONE SEEMS AGITATED. AND RON IS REDDER THAN RUDOLPH'S NOSE. IT SEEMS THEY DISAGREE ON THE PROPER PROTOCOL FOR ISSUING BALL INVITATIONS. RON CLEARLY FELT THAT HE HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG... TYPICAL.
0009: HARRY MAKES GESTURES OF SYMPATHY TOWARDS RON. MEN HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER, I SUPPOSE, BUT WHERE RON IS CONCERNED, I REALLY THINK HARRY SHOULD STAY OUT OF IT.
0010: HERMIONE, HER LOVELY HAIRDO ALL UNDONE, STORMS UP THE STAIRS TO THE GIRLS' DORMITORY. RON LOOKS CONFUSED, WHICH IS USUAL FOR HIM. HIS GOLDFISH IMPRESSION WAS QUITE GOOD, ACTUALLY. MADE ME A BIT HUNGRY, IN FACT.
0011: I GIVE RON MY MOST DISDAINFUL LOOK AND FOLLOW HERMIONE UP TO OUR BEDROOM. SHE NEEDS MY WONDERFUL SNUGGLES AT A TIME LIKE THIS.
0042: HERMIONE'S ASLEEP. I'M... YA-A-A-W-W-WN...
So, since we wrote a story recently about Harry and Ginny Potter, I thought we could write one about the newly-married Ron and Hermione, told from the perspective of that witty ginger-haired half-feline/half-Kneazle.

Perhaps Ron is going to Diagon Alley ... or to Hermione's parents' place ... or just to their home library.
I enjoyed Firenze's horoscope. For me, it activated some rarely used vocabulary.

We never see Crookshanks have a hairball in the book but I believe he'd know what it felt like. Where's the Crookshanks smiley?
I just thought Ron would be surprised....
BUT GETS UP ANYWAY WHEN
Cross-posted with Puck. Anyway, I thought Hermione would glare at Ron to get him to help out.

I agree that Trelawney's horoscopes were more fun to right, as they were very zany and funny. However, I think we did well to rise to the challenge of capturing Firenze's mastery of vague-ness. And I agree with Julia, that it was a good chance to use some interesting vocabulary.
However, there seems to have been a bit of a problem with the posting. Half of Libra is missing!

Ron's got a healthy appetite, and breakfast was a few hours ago, after all.
I'm inserting a time stamp into the previous post, since there was a passage of time.
Puck, that sure is bang for your buck re: counting a hyphenated word as one word.
Verity and Julia, thanks for the comments. All are encouraged to make comments, whether you participated in the story or not. Thanks!
And Verity, thanks for the heads' up re: Libra's missing text. I was trying to get the story up quickly before I had to leave for work. Libra's all complete now. YAY, me for getting the previous story up before the weekend, starting a new thread, and a new story even though school is still crazy busy now! ***patting self on back/tooting my own horn***
A favor... can everyone please write their five words in ALL CAPS? That was the way Mark (of 'Mark Reads Harry Potter' fame) wrote Hedwig's Log, on which 'The Chronicles of Crookshanks' are based. It would be easier for me to compile the story if I didn't have to retype a bunch of five words... copy-and paste is soooo much easier and less time-consuming. Thanks! Also, let's not forget to include time stamps to show the passage of time, as this is a log of what Crookshanks is seeing Chez Granger-Weasley. Time can jump, too, as Crooksy liked to nap a lot in the other story.

1030: TRIED CATCHING
