It's time to vote for your favourites for the Dumbledore Silver Trinket Awards. The voting will end at the end of the day on November 10th and will be posted the morning of November 11th. So be sure to cast your ballot for your favourites!
It took a while to arrange a meeting but eventually Aunt Petunia, Harry and Ginny met at a local, Muggle coffee shop near Diagon Alley. After some polite talk about the weather and such, Harry got his aunt to get down to business.
“Last week at breakfast,” she started, “he reached for the plate of sausages which was just out of his reach. The plate moved towards him so he could grab it. I don’t think he realized what happened.”
“Then, the other day when we were watching the telly, the remote was missing. When he asked about it, one of the pillows by him seemed to move on its own. He reached behind it and there was the remote. I don’t know what to do. Obviously I can’t get Vernon involved.”
Harry and Ginny did a quick glance at each other before looking back at Petunia, and then Harry spoke.
“Okay, so Dudders did some accidental magic.” His aunt almost cringed at that statement. “Well, it’s too late for him to start school as a firstie. And I don’t see him entering the wizarding world just yet. So someone will have to teach him.”
Now, Ginny spoke up for the first time. “How about getting him a low-powered witch as a friend to teach him the basics? I mean, if he’s magical, the ministry will try to hold him under the secrecy act, which he knows nothing about.”
Harry smiled at her. “That’s not a bad idea!”
So what’s your idea? Submit your story before it’s too late.

Dudley’s Turn Challenge 2013-4
Petunia Dursley saw the beginning signs of accidental magic in Dudley and reluctantly contacted Harry Potter, the only magical person she could come close to trusting. She met with Harry and Ginny for lunch and discussed the situation. Their conclusion was to hook up Dudley with a half blood witch similar in magical power. That way she could teach him of the magical world and still know of the Muggle world he lives in.
The Challenge is to write a story of how Harry & Ginny eventually get Dudley and a witch together to help Dudley with his newly discovered magic and introduce him into the magical world.
Rules:
1. All general submission rules apply. Stories over 20,000 words are discouraged but not prohibited. R-rated stories are allowed but discouraged. Judges are not required to read stories over 20,000 words or any R-rated stories.
2. CORRECTION: All entries must be submitted under “Dudley’s Turn” Challenge 2013-4, sub-category of SIYE Challenges and be submitted by midnight SIYE Time, Friday, November 15, 2013.
3. Completed stories are seriously preferred. Multiple chapters are allowed as long as all the requirements are in the chapters that are submitted by the deadline.
4. The categories for judging are Best Overall, Matchmaking, Awkwardness, and The People’s Choice Award.
***The basis of this Challenge idea came from an unknown seminar moderator at the LeakeyCon fan fiction convention earlier this year. Thanks.

Well, what can I say? We had two very different takes on the same Asylum Challenge. One went the dramatic route and the other down the humorous lane. The six judges were quite specific on this. Therefore, the winners are…

The 2013- Asylum Challenge is now closed
Hey there boys and girls. Ginny has not been killed by the Death Eaters. The individual she helped to acquire asylum did, in fact, enjoy a few dances and a butter beer or two at Ginny’s birthday celebration earlier this week. Afterward, the Ministry Erasers whisked him/her away to protected obscurity on much sunnier shores.
This Challenge’s stories are in, and now the judging begins. The categories are Best Overall, Best Drama, Best Sneakiness (Fred and George…you don’t qualify), and in People Choice Award. Look for the results at the beginning of next month—same bat boogie time…same bat boogie station! For the vacationing Sir Ollivander…Mischief managed!

Nominated for Nov. 2013 Best Romance, Best Comedy and Best New Story.
Summer is the best time of the year, no matter what those Christmas carols say. Because during summer, you can wear cut-off jeans, run around barefoot and cause a general ruckus. Summertime is the time of care-free fun, and summer nights elicit sudden feelings of warmth and romance. During summer the days are long and lazy, and the in a particular little village in Devon England, love is in the air. Summer is when my good friend Cupid runs rapid, not Valentine’s Day, ‘cause that’s just one day while summer has weeks and weeks of warm air and sweet kisses. Good ole Cupid enjoys a good summer fling, and he knows just who needs a good fling, with a kick in the pants to get there. Let’s just say that Harry and Ginny become fast friends, given Ron and Hermione’s peculiar behavior, and if I know Cupid, they’ll become fast more-than-friends too.Rating: PG Category: Post-OotP, Post-OotP Genre: Fluff, Humor, Romance Words: Chapters: 3 Published: 2013.12.02 Updated: 2013.12.07 Status: Work in Progress Hits: 788 Reviews: 9
