Deathly Hallows Challenge (2009-1)
The Royal Academy of Magic, a group of scientists, archaeologists, and historians, studied all the official and unofficial reports, and questioned various eye-witnesses to the Final Battle. They concluded that Harry Potter did indeed possess the three Deathly Hallows. Therefore, they wrote an official letter to Mr. Potter for permission to examine the three artifacts. They have no idea of their current status. After numerous owls, Harry reluctantly agrees, with some very strict conditions.

The Challenge is to write a story involving:

1. Harry recovering all three Deathly Hallows but secures each one in a different location under strict security, wards, goblins, etc, whatever….
2. No two Hallows will ever be together in the same place at the same time.
3. Heavy security is to surround each item being inspected at all times.
4. A “Ministry official” tries to confiscate the Deathly Hallows from Harry.
5. A theft is foiled.
6. Harry explains something about possessing the Deathly Hallows that happened to him that nobody knew about.

The Rules:

1. All general submission rules apply. Stories over 10,000 words are discouraged but not prohibited. This is not a limit. R-rated stories are allowed but discouraged. Judges are not required to read stories over 10,000 words or any R-rated stories.
2. All entries must be submitted under The Deathly Hallows Challenge (2009-1) sub-category under SIYE Challenge and be submitted by midnight Saturday, February 28, 2009.
3. Multiple chapters are allowed as long as all the requirements are in the chapters that are submitted by the deadline. Completed stories are highly encouraged!
4. The categories for judging are Best Overall, Drama, Security, and Adventure.

Bonus phrases for extra creativity are the following. Using any or all of them is not required. A good, creative story will always count much stronger than any bonus.

• “Now that’s what I call a [blank]!”
• “Really…a [blank] ate my homework.”
• “Maybe I’ll just let you tell him/her what you did to his/her favorite [blank].”
• “Now just a [blank] for extra zest.”
• “Fastest wand this side of [blank].”
• “Really Mum…I did see someone just [blank]!”
• “Or die trying!”

Alanius came out of the woodwork on 2009.02.01 - 09:16AM to say:

Why the quotation marks around "Ministry official" in point number four? Theft by legislation is still theft.



Sir Ollivander came out of the woodwork on 2009.02.01 - 09:39AM to say:

Alanius - the Ministry official might not really be official...or not from the Ministry...or just a plain, ordinary con man. Would you believe me if I told you I was the real author JKR? (The "J" is really Jonathan)



Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2009.02.01 - 10:24AM to say:

The very thought that there might be less-than-honest Ministry officials is appalling! To think that there might be someone so tricky...so deceitful...so dodgy...so... Hmm, I just got one of my evil plot ideas. If nothing else, I might be able to distract Spenser from what he is planning for Valentine's Day. The ballroom is booked again for February 17th, and I remember what he did to the place last year.



valondon came out of the woodwork on 2009.02.01 - 01:33PM to say:

What do you mean in number -6. Harry explains something about possessing the Deathly Hallows that happened to him that nobody knew about. - are you saying something that happened that no one in the story knew about or something that no reader knew about so as the author we just make it up?



Sir Ollivander came out of the woodwork on 2009.02.01 - 01:54PM to say:

valondon - something totally new (make it up). Maybe his eyesight improved. Or he is aware of other people's feelings more. Or possibly seeing his life after Voldemort bacame more clear. Who knows.



quinn came out of the woodwork on 2009.02.01 - 06:35PM to say:

Nice!! Now to do the Hallows Shuffle and keep it under 10k words...



Amour came out of the woodwork on 2009.02.02 - 07:31PM to say:

Can this be during any time? Or is there a certain time frame that we're suppose to write this in?



Sir Ollivander came out of the woodwork on 2009.02.02 - 08:38PM to say:

Amour - it is obviously after the Final Battle and some time passing for all the reports and accounts are gathered, reviewed and documented. And then the Academy will need time to examine everything available. Think of no earlier than one year after the Final Battle. How far passed is up to you. Could be Hermione's memoirs about Harry after her last child finishes Hogwarts 20 years later.



Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2009.02.08 - 02:59PM to say:

I just did something really, really bad. I'm going to hear about it very soon I think.

I just posted my forty-ninth story at SIYE. I intentionally did that now so it wouldn't be number fifty. I'll save that for the Challenge. Now I need a beer.



MinistryMalcontent came out of the woodwork on 2009.02.09 - 09:00PM to say:

Ah! Now there are enough explanations I know what I am going to write. When I get done will depend on exactly what Spencer plans to do with those rubber chickens on Valentine's Day.



Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2009.02.09 - 11:24PM to say:

Spenser (not Spencer...sigh) isn't dead yet (it's only 2009). I can't tell you about the rubber chickens, or the secret recipe for The World's Best Spareribs that is traditionally passed on to the inductees until the ceremony (if then). You are permitted to substitute a topee hat for the fez. A quiet yet pleasant time is to be had by all...ho, ho, ho! Maybe not. We are going to party with the Initiation/Valentine's Day/Wake celebration! Excuse me. does anyone know where we can rent another platypus and tap-dancing rhinoceros? --Eric
