2010 Prompting is now OPEN!

Prompting
is now
OPEN!

Prompts can be something like 'Fairy lights' or a scenario like 'Harry and Draco want to go somewhere warm for Christmas'. If you need inspiration, check out last year's prompt lists:
2009 word prompt list
2009 scenario prompt list

Remember, it's any December Holiday, Christmas, New Year, Winter/Summer solstice etc. If you want to submit Christmas songs they are welcome too!
You don't have to be a writer or a participant in the fest to leave a prompt, it's not an exchange. You can leave as many prompts as you like, they don't have to be in individual comments, just make sure it's easy enough for me to read when it's time to compile the lists. :)

If you have any questions email mini_fest @ live.com or send a PM to brissygirl

Let the Prompting Begin!

Draco/Hermione: Christmas party with family

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

At a holiday gathering, Harry mistakenly samples the spiked punch instead of the non-alcoholic version (any pairing).

Christmas 1980: I'd love to see snapshots of the various HP families at this time of year - particularly the Potters, Longbottoms, and Malfoy's celebrating their baby's first Christmases in the shadow of the looming war.

Hermione/Anthony Goldstein.

Anthony takes Hermione home to his parents for the first time, at Hannukkah

Harry/Draco

Harry gets more in his Christmas stocking than he bargained for (a little cross-dressing here - Mrs Claus!Draco, maybe *g*)

Next gen kids at a Christmas party--one of the Weasleys decide to host every one in the family at their party and the kids' reactions.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Ron/Pansy - Ron takes Pansy to the Burrow for Christmas Eve. In his excitement, he brings ALL their gifts to open there, including the one Pansy bought him to be opened in PRIVATE.

I'd love to see everyone's reaction (including Molly horrified, and everyone else however you imagine them).

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Harry/Draco - first Christmas. The dynamics of Christmas at the Manor, including Lucius being less than thrilled at Draco's choice of companion. Extra ♥ ♥ ♥ if there's a scene in the dungeons. ;D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

AS/S - One of the boys is very nervous about spending Christmas dinner at the other one's family's home. Your choice which. I'd like to see the other get creative to calm him down. ;D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

First Christmas after the war. Andromeda and Narcissa decide it's time to reconnect. The result? The entire family - including extended family (yes, that means Harry) is there. Mayhem ensues, banter abounds, disasters descend. And by night's end, there is much laughter and holiday cheer. ♥

Your choice who (if anyone) is paired up with whom. I see it more as a gen fic, but any pairings are fine too. :)

Lucius/Harry--first Christmas together. Draco is horrified. The Weasleys (Molly especially) feel slighted. Lucius manages to save the holiday and everyone is happy in the end. (Bonus if Draco and Ron end up together.)

Remus and Sirius spend a white Christmas together.

Harry/Draco building a snowman at their first home together.

Harry/Draco - well placed red ribbon.

Remus/Sirius - snowflakes.

* A kitten for Christmas
* A holiday announcement of a pregnancy
* Secret Santa gift exchange
* Rescue of a small, cold animal in winter that turns out to be an animagus

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

I am thinking that a family like the Weasley's with all of their new additions and experiences with foreign cultures (Muggle, French, Romanian, Egyptian, Wizarding old and new, just to name a few.) could have a really interesting combination of holiday traditions.

Or just snapshots (drabbles?) of different character's personal holiday traditions.

(P.S. If my wording has offended anyone I apologise and I would very much appreciate some help in wording this better if necessary.)

1) A snowball fight and eggnog.
2) Draco loses his wishlist at school. Guess who finds it?
3) Ancient fruitcake that's been passed on family to family, year to year because everyone's too afraid to eat it
4) Mistletoe in the bathrooms; awkward snogging ensues.

[(Anonymous)]

Severus/Harry - Severus has a surprisingly good voice for carols.

Hogwart's Secret Santas - giving wildly inappropriate gifts.

"All I Want for Christmas" - Harry makes a Christmas Eve wish that Severus was still alive.

Santa's missing and it's up to the wizarding world to deliver all the goodies to muggle boys and girls!

Snape as Jack Frost.

Sorry - didn't realize I wasn't logged in...

"We may not be related by blood, but we're still family." A Christmas tale of an all-adult Xmas; could be H/D with parental Snupin, or some polyamorous/open relationship configuration, or friends-as-family. Please include at least one slash pairing!

[treacle-tartlet.livejournal.com]

♥ A snowball fight.

♥ Charmed eggnog

♥ Secret Santa

♥ Venomous tentacular mistakenly used for mistletoe

♥ Never-quench Flaming Christmas Pudding - Weasleys Wizard Wheezes products that never really caught on.

♥ A not-so-Silent Night

♥ "You put what in the brandy butter?!"

♥ "I saw daddy kissing Santa Claus!" Sneaking downstairs to ransack the Christmas Tree, Al and Scorpius find more than they bargained for.

♥ "Exactly how much of that mulled wine have you drunk?"

♥ Christmas Eve at the Auror HQ.

♥ The perils of playing wizards' Snap-dragon.

Draco/Harry, Ron/Hermione - first Christmas trying to merge Draco and Ron's wizarding traditions with Hermione's (and Harry's) muggle traditions. Friendship ornament that is gifted back & forth each year.

[sabinefrappe.livejournal.com]

#1 A few days before Christmas, Auror Potter is working very late. His boyfriend, Draco, shows up in green boxers and a Santa hat. Little do they know that a sneaky Kingsley and a few aurors have deliberately struck down the silencing spell outside their door...

#2 Scorpius finally tells Albus that he wants HIM for Christmas, and is ecstatic to find that HE is tops on Albus' wish list as well (or vice versa).
