34. Parseltongue

Justin’s breathing quickened as the conjured snake slithered towards him. The adrenaline started to flow, his heart raced a million miles a minute and he wanted so badly to run but there was no escape through the students crowded all around him. He was about to scream when he heard something strange. Someone was speaking in a weird language, that he later found out was Parseltongue, apparently used by Slytherin himself to control snakes. Before he could figure out who was speaking, the snake had halted in its tracks.

Justin looked up to see the words coming out of… Harry Potter.

45. Torch

Justin hated having to go to the bathroom at night time. His wand never gave off enough light, the portraits were always yelling at you for disturbing their peace, and nosy prefects were always interrogating you as to where you were going.

As he walked down the hallway in his slippers, looking ahead to see where he needed to turn to get to the bathroom, he tripped over a bump in the carpet. His knee collided with the ground painfully and his wand went out. Cursing, Justin declared to the empty corridor that he’d rather have a muggle torch anyday.

2. Muggle Studies

Justin only attended Muggle Studies class to look at the scenery. At the present moment he was staring at the back of Susan’s head, daydreaming about what it would be like to take her hair out of the plait and run his hands through it while the Professor was droning on about vacuum cleaners.

Being muggle-born of course, Justin was very familiar with how vacuum cleaners worked. Ernie on his left was scribbling notes furiously, and Justin would have chuckled at him had his attention not been elsewhere.

Susan turned around slightly and shot him a small smile.

36. Muggle

Justin and Ernie were walking along a dungeon corridoor when their way was barred by Draco Malfoy and associates.

"Can I help you?" Justin said, attempting to be friendly.

"Yeah" Draco said snarling. "I saw you looking at my girlfriend in Potions, you filthy muggle"

"Muggle born and proud of it!" Justin replied defiantly. He had only been looking at Pansy because Fred Weasley told him if you stared at her cross-eyed you could see the future.

"Kiss your mother with that mouth Draco?" Ernie added, and Justin decided that was as good a time as any to run for their lives.

88. Sweet Tooth

Justin sat at the Hufflepuff Table, eating porridge and occasionally glancing at the Slytherin Table to see if Draco was going to enact his revenge for last night publicly. The post owls arrived and one deposited a parcel of sweets in Draco's lap.

He must have a sweet tooth... Justin thought to himself. He just hoped he had the cavities to match.

Another owl dropped a package next to Justin, but Justin knew what it was without even looking at it. It would be from his father, containing college catalogues, muggle college catalogues to be exact. He pushed it away.

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-06-2006, 08:30 AM

91. Future

Susan sat down at the table and linked her arm through Justin's, leaning her head on his shoulder. She noticed the unopened mail on the table.

"More mail from your father?" she asked quietly.

"More college catalogues. He's trying to decide my future for me, I won't go back to the muggle world I just won't" Justin replied, emphasizing the last word.

"Course not. You're of age now, he's can't tell you what to do anymore" Susan said, rubbing Justin's forearm with her fingers. "Besides, I thought I was your future" she added giggling.

54. Dare

Ernie and Justin were sitting in the corner of the Hufflepuff Common Room nearest to the fire. Susan Bones and Hannah Abbot were on the opposite side, working on some homework.

Ernie was having trouble keeping Justin's attention, as Justin was prone to staring at Susan for extended periods of time.

"Just do it" he finally said, defeated.

"Do what?" Justin asked, snapping out of his daydream.

"Ask her out. I dare you to" Ernie said, feeling rather mischevious.

Justin was never one to back down from a dare. "I accept" he said solemnly, as he stood up.

100. Homework

Susan and Hannah were trying to get their heads around the Potions Homework. Snape had set a particularly tricky essay on the Medicinal Uses of Thestral Dung, and it was even harder for Susan to concentrate because she had this uneasy feeling she was being watched.

She looked up as she heard footsteps approaching. It was Justin, looking quite nervous. She smiled at him and waited for him to speak.

"I was wondering if you would like to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend" he said all in one breath.

Susan thought for a couple of seconds.

"Yes".

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-07-2006, 01:47 AM

Dedicated to Si, who picked the number.

50. Boggart

Thoughts of blackmail swirled around Justin's head as Snape came out of the wardrobe dressed in woman's clothing. This was by far the most entertaining DADA class of the year so far.

Justin's thought drifted to what might come out of the wardrobe were he forced to face the boggart within. Suddenly it was his turn and Ernie not-so-helpfully pushed him to the spot in front of the wardrobe.

The door creaked open. A werewolf leapt from the wardrobe, sniffing at Professor Lupin before advancing on Justin.

"Riddikulus!" Justin yelled.

The werewolf turned into a chihuahua.

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-08-2006, 02:27 AM

Dedicated to the Sarah's , who yesterday gave me numbers to work on.

7. Care of Magical Creatures

Justin stared, fascinated as strips of dead cow seemingly evaporated into thin air. A question formed in his head, and even though he didn't usually speak out in Care of Magical Creatures class, curiousity got the better of him.

"Hagrid, if they are invisible, then are their droppings invisible too?" Justin asked, with all sincerity.

A few others in the class laughed, and Justin was dissapointed to see Susan frowning at him.

"Ah, well, I don't rightly know. I'll check that and get back to ye" Hagrid said, visibly nervous. It didn't help that Umbridge was there.

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-08-2006, 02:42 AM

Dedicated to Nabs, for giving me this number.

68. Roar

Justin's heart thumped in his chest. The whole stadium watching him zoom after the snitch, the crowd's roar filling his ears as he got closer, was such an adrenaline rush.

He zoomed between two chasers on his pursuit of the snitch. There was no slowing down now, he knew the other team seeker would be right on his tail.

His eyes were trained on the snitch as it changed direction slightly and headed straight for the stands. Justin zoomed after it, and as he edged ever closer, he stretched out his arm to grab it...

And then he woke up.

78. Authors choice (Thestral Dung)

Susan and Justin sat on the couch in the Hufflepuff Common Room, holding hands.

"Would you think I was crazy if I told you I love you?" Justin asked.

"Quite possibly yes" Susan said, trying not to smile.

"I love you"

"You're insane. Maybe some Thestral dung would help" Susan said, cracking a smile.

"Thestral dung?" Justin asked perplexed. It wasn't the response he was expecting.

"That essay I was writing when you asked me out, about Thestral dung. It's used to cure insanity"

"I don't remember that. Must have been distracted" Justin said, kissing her cheek.

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-08-2006, 04:33 AM

To Thingee, who picked the number.

75. Yodel

It had been 5 years since Justin had dealt with any muggle electronic devices, and so he was decidedly hesitant when Susan had bought an old muggle Television home from work and asked him to tune it.

He plugged it in and flicked the switch. Static filled the screen.

Grabbing the nearest dial, he turned it until a picture started to form on the screen. It was a pair of dutch milkmaids, yodeling. Justin chuckled and looked for a button to set the channel.

He pressed a few when BOOM!

A fuse must have blown.

Justin swore off muggle technology permanently.

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-12-2006, 09:57 PM

Dedicated to Sushma, because it's my fault I didn't tell her not to post in here. oops.

65. Ooze

Justin, Susan, Ernie and Hannah were relaxing under a tree in the Hogwarts Grounds when Justin spotted Hagrid coming out of the Forbidden Forest. He appeared to be holding something in his hand, his arm outstretched away from his body.

Justin assumed he'd caught some magical creature in one of the traps in the forest, and so was alarmed when Hagrid spotted him and marched straight over.

"Ah, Justin, I've answered ye question... Thestral droppings are definately visible, see?" he said as he held out his hand. The droppings oozed over his hand.

"Thanks Hagrid" Justin said, cringing.

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-12-2006, 11:47 PM

For Si who picked the number.

40. Spell

Justin and Susan were in the library, studying for their Charms exam. Well that is to say, Susan was writing down notes while Justin stared at her and lifted a hand up and touched her hair.

"Stop it please" Susan said, as nicely as possible. She did actually quite like it, but she was feeling the pressure of doing well on her OWLs. "I really need to memorise this spell for a cheering charm"

"You put a spell on me" Justin said, realising how cheesy he sounded but not caring. He smiled and let Susan get back to studying.

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-14-2006, 10:56 PM

Dedicated to Ashlie, just because I <3 her.

96. Socks

Justin's eyes opened, and he looked up and was surprised to see not the canopy of his dorm bed, but the ceiling of the Hospital Wing.

"Huh, whaaaa?" he said, his mouth too dry to form proper words.

Professor Dumbledore leaned over him. "You were petrified I'm afraid. I'll tell you the full story shortly, but first I thought a little present may be in order".

Justin sat up at the mention of a present, and took the small parcel from the Headmaster. He unwrapped it to reveal a pair of knee length purple and green spotted socks.

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-16-2006, 11:06 PM

41. Thestrals

Justin was taking a walk in the Forbidden Forest. It was early afternoon, so he wasn't worried about any of the nocturnal creatures that lived there.

Shoving his hands deep into his pockets, he pulled out a note that Susan had sent him the previous day.

His eyes scanned the writing and he forgot to look where he was going.

*thump*

Justin fell to the ground and looked up to see what he had hit. He could see nothing but empty space. He heard hooves walking away.

"Darn Thestrals!" he said, standing up and brushing himself off.

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-19-2006, 09:18 PM

44. Ford Anglia

After his run-in with the Thestral, Justin decided he'd walk in the opposite direction in the forest. Sunlight filtered down from the canopy and the forest was peacefully silent. Justin had a thought that perhaps this would be a nice place to bring Susan for a date.

The silence was broken by the sound of a revving car engine. Justin froze and spun around to see what probably used to look like a blue Ford Anglia in the bushes behind him. It flashed it's headlights at him, revved menacingly and Justin turned and ran back to the castle.

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-19-2006, 10:07 PM

52. Bore

Now Ernie was of course, Justin's best friend of all at Hogwarts. Sometimes however, Justin felt that Ernie was a bit of a bore. Especially when stories were told of the adventures that Ron, Hermione and Harry were always having. If they weren't battling trolls or driving flying cars, they were running around the Forbidden Forest at night.

Ernie's idea of an adventure was going to the library to find a book, or taking a brisk stroll around the grounds. Sometimes Justin wished he had been sorted into Gryffindor, they seemed to be always having adventures.

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-19-2006, 10:28 PM

16. Dragonhide Gloves

It was Justin's first Herbology lesson, and he was nervous. He'd heard horror stories from some of the other first years about the man-eating plant that apparently lived in the Greenhouses and ate first years.

They were waiting outside the classroom and Justin had decided to wear his Dragonhide Gloves for protection. Professor Sprout opened the door and as Justin filed past, she put a hand on his shoulder and stopped him.

"You won't be needing your gloves today dear" she said kindly. She winked and added in a whisper "Don't worry, I keep Brutus in the other Greenhouse".

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-21-2006, 06:49 AM

58. Hoot

It was late at night and Justin was attempting to sneak out of the castle. He'd managed to get out of the common room, along past the House-elf full kitchens, and out into the Entrance Hall.

Draco was doing prefect duty, standing next to the main castle doors. Justin inched along the wall, taking advantage of the fact he was asleep and snoring, whilst remaining upright. He got right behind Draco, opened the door a fraction, and just before he slid out, he let out a loud 'Hoot!' and shut the door, running into the night to meet Susan.

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-26-2006, 01:58 AM

9. Defense Against the Dark Arts

Justin stared at the page of the textbook, not seeing anything. Yet again Umbridge had them reading in DADA class. Justin looked sideways to see yet again, Ernie had fallen asleep and his head was now inches away from resting on his book. He turned to look in the other direction. Susan was looking at him, a bemused smile on her face. Justin winked at her then turned back to his book. He got out a sheet of parchment and started doodling around the edges with pictures of spells they'd learnt at their DA meeting the night before.

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-27-2006, 10:52 PM

43. Headmaster

Justin was walking along when someone called his name from behind him, in an authoritative tone. Justin spun around to see it was Professor Dumbledore.

"Good Afternoon, Headmaster" Justin said, unsure why Dumbledore had hailed him. He hoped he wasn't in trouble.

"You, my boy, can call me Albus. I just wanted to ask how you're going, are you back to 100% after the ah, petrification?" Albus smiled, peering down over his glasses.

"Oh" said Justin relieved."Yeah, I'm doing pretty good. The parents overreacted and insist on daily reassurances of my safety, but other than that i'm great"

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-27-2006, 11:00 PM

29. Pensieve

101 Uses for Thestral Dung in Potions

Justin groaned. This whole exams exercise was obviously aimed to torture poor students til their brains exploded.

#1: As a memory restoring agent for those who have been confunded

Justin certainly felt confunded. He turned to Susan, who was staring at a chart of medicinal herbs.

"My brain's about to explode" he whispered.

She sighed and said "I wish i had a pensieve to store all this extra information"

"Good idea" said Justin. "I wonder if Dumbledore will notice if we borrow his"

"I think he would Justin" Susan said, shaking her head.

Taking Back Kirstie · 09-27-2006, 11:16 PM

49. Yule Ball

Justin was sitting in the corner of the common room, frantically flicking his wand around.

"What are you doing? It looks like you're trying to conduct an orchestra" Ernie said, chuckling.

"Shhhhhhhh it's top secret. Okay well not really, but don't tell Susan. It's a note to ask her to go to the Yule Ball with me" Justin said.

"Why don't you just ask her?" Ernie said.

"It has to be special. There..." Justin said with a final flick of his wand. He held out in his hand a tiny paper vase filled with tiny paper flowers.
