[thusspakekate.livejournal.com]

Activity: Blast to the Past
Points: Repetitive Activity. Participation and additional comments: 2pts. 30pts max.
Deadline: Wednesday, March 14 @ Midnight UTC (8pm EST)
Details: Tired of being called the most boring professor in the history of Hogwarts, Professor Binns has decided to shake things up by taking his students on a field trip. And where else would a history professor takes students but into the past? In the comments, write the story of their adventure into history. Each participant should add to the story one sentence at a time. (Please post as new comments, not as replies.) This is a group writing activity: where they go and what they do is entirely up to you guys.

Each contribution to the story is worth 2pts, with a max of 30pts.

This activity was suggested by the ineffable canarycream, who will receive 5 bonus points if she participates.

There will be NO GRACE PERIOD after the activity ends, so make sure that you're on the roster!
Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

Xenophilius removed his fuzzy blue hat and looked toward where Luna was running frantically to get to him.

"Ms. Lovegood, please quiet yourself!" whispered Professor Binns.

Luna could not seem to get a grasp on reality and listen to Professor Binn's urging her to be quiet.

Xenophilius frowned and reached out a hand to swipe at the air, almost touching Luna.

If it weren't for Hermione's quick reflexes in grabbing hold of Luna and pulling her back, who KNOWS how the course of time might have been affected.

Binns decided they needed to grab hold of Luna and get out of there ASAP

Binns hastily spoke, "Onward, students! Let us take a different approach and examine a day from the past of one of our Hogwarts professors. Any preferences on who?"

No one had a moment to even think before Neville declared he wanted to check in on Professor Sprout's past.

"Sprout it is then!" Binns says, doing a quick check to make sure everyone was accounted for before setting off.

Another wizzzzz from the time machine and off they went!

They landed rather unceremoniously, crashing into the side of a glass building and teetering down to the ground.

They landed with an alarming amount of clanking and banging.

Then someone screamed as some tentacle vines came through the wreckage, grabbing hold of several students.

Professor Binns worriedly looked around trying to spy Past Professor Sprout anywhere

But to his dismay, it was Past Professor Snape who was first to arrive at the scene.

Just fyi, midnight UTC will be 8pm EST on the 14th as Daylight Saving Time starts Sunday :)

Binns didn't need to tell his students to be quiet this time; no one wanted Snape to discover them of all people.

Snape huffed around and tossed nervous glances over his shoulder, almost as if he could sense their presence.

Lindsay / HUfflepuff / 9

At one point, Harry could swear Snape made eye contact with him and snarled.

Binns became increasingly worried about the situation and considered leaving, but Neville had really wanted to check up on Professor Sprout

Lindsay / Hufflepuff / 10

[flipflop-diva.livejournal.com]

"Look, there she is!" Neville said, pointing, as he darted away from the others to move closer.

Kristine//Puff//12

[beautifulbluee.livejournal.com]

"NEVILLE, please be careful," yelled Binns

Lindsay / Hufflepuff / 11

[flipflop-diva.livejournal.com]

Of course, at that exact moment, Neville tripped over something, falling to the group with a loud thump and a cry.


Kristine//Puff//13

[abcdefghijkatie.livejournal.com]

Snape looked up in search of the cause behind the noise and called out, "Who is there?"

Katie/Hufflepuff /4

All the students and Professor Binns seemed to stop breathing.
