Title: She's Perfect
House: Gryffindor
Word Count: 100
Challenge: Help
Characters/Pairings: James, Sirius
Author's Notes: Two times in as many weeks!  I guess I'm in a playful mood, because like last week I felt like taking a little dig at the characters.


"Don't get your hopes up, mate. She'd skin you alive soon as look at you." Sirius peeled the rind of his orange back, paying what seemed to be too much attention to getting every bit of the zest off of it.

"But she's perfect," James pouted. "She hates me! I need to get her to like me, but all you can do is crack jokes." He pointed his wand and the orange in Sirius's hand turned into a rather startled, orange-colored tweety bird. "You could help, y'know."

Sirius grinned wickedly and said, "Thought I was, mate... Thought I was."

Title: The Second Challenge
House: Gryffindor
Characters: Harry, Moaning Myrtle
Challenge: Dirty
Author's Note: I haven't written a drabble in forever, but when I saw that this week's challenge was "Dirty," I was amazed that nobody had taken this subject matter into consideration. :)

Even with the gallons upon gallons of water, the swimming pool-sized tub, the multiple colors of froth and the steam that fogged up the stained glass windows, it just didn't feel right.

It was true that she had assisted him with the challenge, hinting about that egg and putting it underwater, her sickly sweet voice oozing with its innuendo, but despite all that, he couldn't get over the creeping feeling that she had seen more than she was letting on.

Harry shivered despite feeling warm. Even though he'd just taken a bath, Myrtle made him feel dirtier than before.
