Card poll answers revealed!

Dec 07, 2006 01:04

The owl drops a card into your outstretched hands - and from the tiny, untidy handwriting, you can just about guess it’s from me.. Unfortunately, the chocolate I’d put inside as well as the story proved too tempting for beaks to resist, and the rain has got in and spoiled much of the rest.

( So, here are the answers behind the polls - hope this works and that filling in the gaps is at least moderately amusing! )

Glad the random picks worked then. :) Now what was in that case ...

Well, in my head it was Hufflepuff's cup. But whatever you want it to be...

Oh dear, now I shall have to figure out what on earth Benedict and Millicent are doing at a Ministry Ball.

Mm, it's a tricky one, isn't it! They got paired up a couple of times, which was funny.

Torchlight glittered on snow in the Durmstrang courtyard as the party from Hogwarts hauled in their Christmas gift. Millicent Bulstrode put her shoulder to the Yule log and pushed. It was typical of Snape, she reflected, to stand there and watch when he could be helping.

In front of her, little Dennis Creevey lost his footing on the uneven flags and slipped. Laughter rose up from the gathered Durmstrang students. Millicent gritted her teeth, helped Dennis to his feet and wished she had a wand. So much for detente, she thought. They're laughing at us. Another of Dumbledore's stupid ideas, doomed to failure.At last they had heaved the huge shaft of oak up the stone steps and into the inner courtyard. A group of Professors came out to greet them. Millicent recognised Karkaroff among them. He went straight to Snape, clasping his hand in apparent warmth and drawing him aside for a private talk. Millicent clutched her goblet of mulled wine in both hands and sipped at the hot liquid gratefully, wondering how anyone could live ( ... )

Oh, fantastic! I'm going to post that in the main bit of the journal so nobody misses it. And, oops, I am incredibly impressed you managed to divine that Moody jumped out from behind the Christmas tree, when I managed to lose half a sentence in the cut-and-paste process (which I hadn't noticed before)!

I'm quite impressed, too, actually! Talk about lucky. (Or great minds think alike!) The idea of a tinsel and ribbon bedecked Moody was irresistible.

Tip-top psychic powers - what with that and your night-time crime-fighting, you are obviously a super-hero!

And I've just realised I never thanked you for your stocking present! So rude of me, when I am so looking forward to Christmas morning and , er, energetic discussion of the semiotics of folk song lyrics...
