Four hours of sleep last night.
Four hours of sleep the night before.

Not enough sleep.

Zzz.

This week's HP100 challenge: Where is he? You know, him, the dead one. Or "dead" one, depending on your theory. What exactly is behind that veil, and whose voices are heard through it?



Title: Hermione was Wrong
House: Slytherin
Word Count: 100, per Word
Characters: The dead doggy.

Sirius stumbles to a stop on the other side of the veil. The cold is the first thing he notices, followed quickly by the massive orb dominating the sky above. Then the ground shakes, and both the temperature and the heavenly body above are forgotten as he spots the cause.

An endless sea of tiny furry bodies rushes towards him, squeaking as they run. Mice..? They part, running around and between his feet. Confused, he looks up. The swirling red spot on the planet is noticed. That's Jupiter? He's on one of the moons? And what's with all the mice?

I do like that better.

And, part of me thinks they're going to find out that Sirius isn't really dead (incidentally making Harry right), given that part of the reason I think that archway was there was because they didn't fully understand what it did.

Thanks! And though I don't want to, I agree with you. I suspect that either Sirius isn't dead, or he is dead and Harry is going to go into the underworld/afterlife and "rescue" him. Personally I'd rather that Sirius just be dead and that's that.

Personally I'd rather that Sirius just be dead and that's that.

Me, too.

I must admit I would have no idea what this was about had I not just heard that passage of the audiobook in the car this morning, though.

And damn! 100 words really isn't a lot, is it??

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The ice/mice mistake got like one sentence in the 800+ book, so I think a lot of folks missed it.

Yeah, 100 words is pretty short, but they're a lot of fun to do... but painful, too. You have to cut out half of the stuff you write, but it's a nice challenge.

Yeah, I need to say 'yeah' more...
