“Be quiet,” said Snape coldly. “I did not ask for information. I was merely commenting on Professor Lupin’s lack of organization.” “He’s the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher we’ve ever had,” said Dean Thomas boldly, and there was a murmur of agreement from the rest of the class. Snape looked more menacing than ever. “You are easily satisfied. Lupin is hardly overtaxing you — I would expect first years to be able to deal with Red Caps and Grindylows.

And I am telling you all to turn to page 394.” He glanced around again. “All of you!

As you've probably figured out, this year's Halloween Writing Challenge is werewolf based! We decided that since vampires got thier moment in the sun last year (ha-ha), this year we turn to our furry, warm blooded friends. Now, you don't have to write Snape's essay, however, should you choose to do that, we'd certainly love to read it. The challenge itelf is to make any canon character a werewolf. They can be out in the open, it can be a secret, someone might be trying to root out the secret, maybe they have a sudden craving for live chickens, or trying to score with the hottie across the street.
