Pumpkin Juice Challenge 2018-2 announcement plus topic choices for 2018-3
As previously announced, the topic for Challenge 2018-2 is: Tis the Valentines feast at Hogwarts, and something is odd. The pumpkin juice tastes suspiciously good, and all who drink it are behaving strangely. Uh oh.
Awards will be made for Most Humourous, Most Unexpected, Best Overall, and People's Choice. Completed stories must be submitted by midnight, July 15, in order for award announcements to be made on August 1.
Please note rules for challenge stories: submissions must be stand-alone stories that are marked as complete by deadline; stories must be shorter than 20,000 words; R-rated stories are discouraged, and judges are not required to read them.
Finally, please use this space to cast your votes for the 2018-3 challenge topic. Additional suggestions are highly encouraged (the list could use some freshening) but prior vote-getters include:
Years into their marriage, Ginny discovers something surprising about Harry. Tell us about it.
Auntie Muriel announces that she will take her tea at the Burrow next Sunday. Excuses fly as everyone tries to avoid attending. Will anyone escape?
A debilitating accident brings Harry's and Ginny's hectic schedules to a screeching halt. How will things change as the couple adjusts to a slow recovery?
Harry has never been abroad before. His first trip is with Ginny. Where do they go, and why?
Late at night, a hooded stranger appears at Harry's bed and casts a spell. Another does the same to Ginny. The mysterious pair meets in the Common Room. After a kiss, they whisper, "That’s done. Now, for the great adventure." What happens next?
Times are tense at Grimmauld Place... until Sirius and Lupin start sharing tales of old Marauder Pranks. Suitably inspired, Harry and/or Ginny (you choose) decide(s) to liven things up with a bit of their own mischief.

"This is all my fault, Harry." Ginny sighed, turning deliberately away from him as she used her wand to sweep away decades of greasy dust from the interior of an old cabinet. "You've not said a thing since, er, you know, so I gather you're quite angry."
"Angry?? No, no, no." Harry stretched warily away from corner where he was vanishing mouse droppings and peered into the corridor to make sure they were alone. "I was deathly afraid I'd die laughing in front of Filch and get our detentions doubled!"
"Laughing? Whatever about?"
With one final glance out the door, Harry turned with an ear-to-ear grin. "Didn't you notice? After your little explosion, Warrington, uh... had a wee bit of an accident."
"Accident??" Holding a half-dusted urn, Ginny turned to him with wide eyes.
"You didn't see that wet spot?"
"Wet...? Oh my!" Failing to stifle a hoot of hysterics, Ginny sputtered straight across the urn, raising an eruption of dust.
"Mind your step, Gin'." Reaching over, putting a hand on her arm lest she teeter over, Harry eyes turned, incidentally, to the newly exposed bronze surface on the urn. He stared. "Hey, what's this?"
"What's what?" Wiping away a couple of tears from her eyes with her free hand, Ginny turned her attention to the partially exposed engraving. "St. Jerome's Church, Godr..." Squinting, she extended a finger to wipe away some remnant dirt, and was about to read the last of the name, when-
"Gak!!" Both student felt a sharp tug somewhere in the pits of the stomachs, and the filthy store room swirled away into darkness...

Eep! And what happens next, pray tell?

Awards for Challenge 2017-3 & topic for Challenge 2018-1
Quite a wild ride, this magical creature hunt has been!
Well, the dust has settled, the beasts are accounted for, and the judging is complete. Congratulations to all contributors, and especially those who produced our winning stories:
Let us all offer a round of applause for our wonderful judges: AS, KH, MG, AM1 & AM2!
I will mention, for interest's sake, that for every authour who wrote a second story for this challenge, it was the second story that fared best in judging. Fascinating. In light of this, from heretoforward, I am happy to now make it standard policy that writers may contribute more than one story to a challenge.
This makes a nice seque to announcing our voter-selected topic for Challenge 2018-1:
By accident, Harry and Ginny stumble upon a hidden Portkey and are swept away. What happens next, and how do they get back?
