Rating: PG-13ish?
Word Count: 1036
Summary: Poor Molly was forced to make room in her already crowded home for all the guests who had traveled a long way.

Rating: PG
Length: 1322 words
Summary: Set during Draco’s 7th year. He resists but she compels. He shows her, but she does not run away. Draco and Astoria in the Slytherin common room.
A/N: I own nothing. This can be read as an outtake from my current prompt table, In Love and In War. Thanks to Sara Winters for making sure this wasn’t complete and total crap. For the

rarepair_shorts Challenge #2: Use “It was a dark and stormy night” at the beginning of the story.

It was a dark and stormy night. . . .

Title: Intentions
Pairing: Ginny/Fleur implied
Prompt: challenge #2 (it was a dark and stormy night)
Rating: PG
Word Count: 622
Summary: For a moment, she gently touched Ginny’s cheek, her fingers lingering peculiarly close to her lips, as though her intentions and desires were no longer synonymous.
Author's Notes: I've been meaning to finish this up for a while. I just never got around to it before. It is intentionally purple and angsty. Boo.

Challenge: "It was a dark and stormy night"
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Don‘t own it.
A/N: Wrote a story that I haven’t posted yet where there’s odd interaction between Lee and Morag that I hadn’t expected and I just thought I’d write a story about the two of them so I could say I’d done it.

Title: Incurable romantic
Characters: Tonks/Mad-Eye Moody
Rating: G
Word count: 565
Summary: Tonks and Moody shared a kiss on a dark and stormy night--at least, that's how Tonks remembers it.

Title: Evening Patrol
Character Pairing: Harry/Padma
Prompt: Challenge #2: It was a dark and stormy night.
Rating: PG
Word Count: 646
Summary: One wintery storm evening, Harry tries to ask Padma out, but she ends up asking him.
A/N: Set after DH, when Harry and company come back for their 7th year. Needing a distraction from my writer’s block, I decided to give Challenge #2 a try. Purposely trying to stay under 1000 words is a lot harder than it seems.

Title: Stories
Character Pairing: Neville/Hermione

Title: To No Avail
Character Pairing: Kingsley/Tonks
Prompt: Challenge #2: It was a dark and stormy night.
Rating: PG [minor cursing]
Word Count: 541
Summary: Another fruitless late night working for the Order, they take what amusement they can get.
Author's Notes: I'd imagine some of the work for the Order required finding dates, names, and information, and wasn't quite as exciting as the field work might have been. I'd also imagine this grunt work was often given to the people with the access to the most information, and with jobs at the Ministry at fairly high levels... well, Kingsley and Tonks probably got stuck with it.

Title: Safe As Houses
Author:

Pairing: Zacharias/Susan (friendship)
Prompt: Challenge #2, 'A dark and stormy night'
Rating: PG
Word Count: 832
Summary: Any port in a storm will do. Zacharias and Susan in the Second War, AU.
A/N: I started writing this before DH as part of a series of what the Huflepuffs did during the war. Back then, I honestly thought the DA would figure in the fight in a more substantial (and not off-page, kept-in-school) way. Obviously DH renders this un-canon in a number of ways, but this challenge made me think of it, and I thought to myself: to hell with it, I'll keep going. Canon can't stop me from indulging in my 'Dumbledore's Army as French Resistance' fantasies, ha!

THIS CHALLENGE IS CURRENTLY CLOSED.

Hi there! Before we explain the new challenge, we'd like to make an announcement regarding challenges in general.

We have decided that all challenges will be ongoing - there will be no more deadlines. (Yay!) Which means that the non-human challenge is now reopen. :) Every month or so we will post a brief announcement reminding you of all the challenges, and you can respond to as many as you like, whenever you like.

GENERAL POSTING RULES
For challenges, all regular posting rules apply, though please be sure to headline your submission(s) as follows:
CHALLENGE # - Title of fic (Pairing).

This makes it easier for us to differentiate them from regular (non-challenge) submissions at a glance. Also, remember to include a fourth tag (in addition to your usual three tags) for the challenge # you are responding to.

Now, for the new challenge, you must write a fic beginning with: "It was a dark and stormy night."

You may submit as many fics as you like for whichever pairings you wish (you are not tied down to your claim). There are no other rules except for the general posting rules (as stated under the LJ-cut).

If you have any questions, please be sure to comment.

Have fun! :D
