I know this isn't the original Pumpkin Snorters, but that was the name of my old thread, ages ago, so i thought i would keep it (it got deleted my old one)
heres the new dare

HALLOWEEN TALENT CONTEST!!!

Hermione was hiding backstage humming the tune for her new song, I’ve got a bunch of Coconuts, before she was to perform it at the Halloween Feast, only this year, she had to wear a costume for the event, so she dressed the part of the song she was singing, and was decked out with the grass skirt and all, she even had THE coconuts, if you know what I mean… So she was backstage behind a makeshift stage set up in the Great Hall. She peered out from behind a curtain and saw a few people missing, like Hagrid and seeing the Slytherin table; she noticed Draco was missing, along with his cronies, they were in the show, but Hermione didn’t know when. All of a sudden, lights dimmed and two figures walked out. “Hey everybody and welcome to tonight’s Halloween Feast Show!, We’re Crabbe and Goyle, and we are your hosts for this evening. So just sit back and watch the show, or just wonder how we’ve managed to spit out a few sentences, either way, first act is, The Proud Slytherin, Draco Malfoy”

Malfoy came out as Crabbe and Goyle walked offstage, Malfoy looked different, the school groaned as he came out in his pink sparkly tutu AGAIN. (They were somewhat sick of the amount of the fics that this author keeps placing him in a tutu, doing ballet.) But Malfoy did his routine anyways, showing a few new moves, but on the last pirouette, he over did the turn and almost fell. When he finished he ran offstage crying to a polite applause.

Next act was just uh... well let’s just say that Hagrid, in a dress, is NOT what everyone wanted to see and the fact he sung Unpretty originally by TLC… (Although the sight was rather unpretty itself...) Hermione shut her eyes for most of the performance though, and missed it... Lucky duck... at least she didn’t have to remember the experience. (A/n– I’m sorry it had to happen like this...)

A few more people came out, sung, danced and did all the Showy things they could, Crabbe and Goyle came out again and there was a small laughter rippling throughout the audience. Hermione had no idea why, but when she walked on after they introduced her, she noticed why, they had walked onstage wearing khaki shorts, flannelette shirts with gross denim jackets… and to top it off they were wearing platforms.... worse still was they were the kind that had real goldfish in them… She wondered what they were dressed as, because it sure wasn’t anything she’d ever seen before. It took all of Hermione’s strength not to change her routine to a last minute comedic routine.

The music started and Hermione zoned out (possibly not a good thing to do) and started hula-ing to the music and waited for the final note before the first line of the song, eyes still closed, she took a deep breath, she started her song “I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts, Diddly Dee, there they are all standing in a row bom BOM bom..” As she bom BOM bom’ed she bobbed up and down with each BOM. Big mistake… suddenly, she lost one of her ‘coconuts’ and although she still had her eyes closed she could tell what had happened. Sniggers throughout the hall told her what had happened, well also a voice, that sounded awfully like Harry’s yelled out WOW and another which sounded like Draco’s which shouted out WARDROBE MALFUNCTION!! To which everyone laughed and took the focus off his bad pirouette. Hermione never lost face though, she just continued her performance and ran offstage as soon as it was finished... and that, was the last ever Halloween Talent Contest...

This was my first ever EEFD dare... *sniff* and its sorta longish, but sentimental value, adding to the name of the fic..*babbles on* I'm postin it agian, same with my other ones but just this one for now..

Pumpkin Snorters and the Chaos They Cause.
It was a beautiful, normal day, and Harry Potter had just finished doing his Potions essay. Now to anyone this may seem quite boring and it was. But it was just one of those things that had to be done in order to have some sort of starting point for a story.

As Harry sat there, he noticed a Pumpkin Snorter run past, but he didn't know it was a Pumpkin Snorter at first, Harry thought it was a pumpkin, but, as his Care of Magical Creatures book, suddenly appeared at his side, he flipped through until he found it,

Pumpkin Snorters
A common type of Magical Creature, but not the most friendliest, known to attack others, especially mere muggles, who assume, it is a Pumpkin, when in fact, it is only the Pumpkin's 3rd cousin Twice Removed. Although, they sometimes have quite a family brawl, and will eat their family members...

Pumpkin Snorters love to travel in packs, so, if you find one, you can be guaranteed there will be approximately another 200 following him/her.

When one is elected Head Chief, T'is because the others couldn't beat it and then it becomes very confident, and constantly proves it's leadership skills by beating up the yuonger Pumpkin Snorters.

Pumpkin Snorters are best to be kept away from, but if angered, will call on their mates, who linger not to far behind.
...

Harry sighed, this was not the time to be stopping an attack of Pumpkin Snorters from invading the school, he was sick of saving the school, It was someone elses turn.

Before Harry could do anymore sulking, he saw another group of Pumpkin Snorters run past, Harry, not wanting to be the Pumpkin Snorters dinner, ran towards the school when he fell into the front hall, only to notice Ron being held up by 5 or so Pumpkin Snorters, Harry laughed, which may have been the wrong thing to do, but sure enough they put Ron down, and off he went, No way, was he going to save the-idiot-who-laughed.

Ron walked into the great Hall to find Harry sitting there laughing, Huh? What how did that happen? thought Ron as he heard Nearly Headless Nick screaming his head off (almost literally) at a poor little kid, well a poor little kid until he realised it was none other then that Zabini Blaise or something, the one who's gender confuzzled quite a few.

Zabini (As I can't remember what name went first) was cowering under the ever hateful stare of Nick, even though the whole school was watching in amusement, even Dumbledore was chuckling to himself, but stopped quickly when Minerva gave him a quite stern Stop-it-now stare.

NHN pointed at Zabini, the only words the whole Hall would hear of the argument, "Zabini, How could you, after all this, you you - SnitchSeeker"
Zabini buckled,"A WHAT" he (I've just decided the gender....) roared?
NHN- Oh you heard me, you darn Filthy Snitch Seeker, that's all I ever was to you wasn't it? NOW GET OUT BEFORE I MAKE YOU GET OUT!!!

Zabini ran from the hall, crying, screaming, much like a 5 year old girl who can't get a new dolly, (Which made everyone seriously doubt Zabini's gender once again) he was still running towards the Great Halls Great Entrance Hall, which he had to go through the Great Halls Great Doors to get to.

You know what else was great? Was the way Zabini allowed the Great Halls Great Doors, be left open slightly, allowing 101 Pumkin Snorters of the 201 to run in and steal Hannah Abbott from the Hufflepuff Table.

But not before Dumbledore did his infamous "SILENCE" causing an almost deafening silence in the Great Hall, and Dumbledore allowed the Pumpkin Snorters Head Chief, Pumkin Ninny, get up, and announce why he was in fact taking a Hufflepuffian and not a Slytherin, or Gryffindor. (To which Harry, and Draco both looked mildly disgusted at the fact a HUFFLEPUFF was picked over them...)

Fellow Hogwartians, I Pumkin Ninny, am taking Hannah Abott, because she is useless, and will be your representative for the new Wizarding show, Big Brother: Inter-School Challenge.

At this announcement, everyone cheered, not for the fact they were participating on the show, but for the fact they WEREN'T the chosen representative, all except poor dear old Hannah. She shouldn't of resisted, she should've went quietly, do you think she did? Nooo-ooo.

She kicked, she screamed, she reached for her wand, but Second to the Head Chief, Jack Pumkinston, already had the wand, and already had it snapped, not in Half, but in millions of pieces, as if a steamroller, had accidently been in the Great Hall and accidently ran it over.

"You darn SNITCHSEEKER!!!"

The Great Hall rang with a loud silence.
The Pumpkin Snorter's dropped her.
Flat on her face to be precise.
3 Pumpkin Snorters, came and carried her away.

Dumbledore rose from his seat, "Now, I have had enough, I've had it up to here with you lot"
(Dumbledore placed his hand near his knees as he said this) "Why must you go around calling people Snitchseekers? It is really quite annoying, every week, there are people going *Mimicking voice* Professor Dumbledore sir, so-and-so called me the S-word the other day! Sir, what can you do about people calling you Snitchseekers?"

Dumbledore stopped mimicking, enough just to yell the S-word at everyone. Everyone looked aghast, and for once the Great Albus Dumbledore, had cracked. He had screamed the S-Word. Then he Magicked a pillow and put it against his face and screamed. Everyone clearly heard him, it sounded a little muffled though, so instead of sounding like SNITCHSEEKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It merely sounded like Mmphmeeka!!!! Which of course doesn't sound quite as offending to anyone else.

Storming off, and out of the Great Hall, throught the Great Doors of the Great Hall, went the Great Albus Dumbledore, once out in the Entrance Hall, (which isn't as Great as the Great Hall) he screamed once more into his pillow. Then "Sonorus" his vvoice boomed throughout the whole entire school, which was entirely pointless, seeing as everyone but him were in the Great hall.

"Guess what, if you don't know who this is, then guess, but just thought I'd let you know, I'm leaving this school, there will be a coin toss between nobody, and I hand the Headmastership over to the only English Speaking Pumpkin Snorter, the only Head Chief!!"

Nobody applauded, only the Pumpkin Snorters clapped and grunted. The Head Chief stood up, and made a small polite speech, it went something like this...

"Ex-Headmaster Dumbledore, we thank you, for kindly allowing us to stay, right now, our other 100 fellows couldn't be here, as they are currently giving birth down in one of the dungeons, Dungeon 5 Block C, I believe."

Snape turned a very sickly green, and dashed off, probably to go and save his precious dungeon 5, Block C class room, that was his favourite room. Now it was going to have 300 odd Pumpkin Snorters in there.

Head Chief aka Pumkin Ninny, continued (after the not-so-great-Snape left the Great Hall)
"We hope you enjoy the rest of your stay, and NEW RULE= Don't annoy us, we are hungry.
That is all, Let the Feast begin!!"

The students sat there shell-shocked, but it was going to get worse, at the precise moment the words BEGIN were finished, the other 300 odd Pumpkin Snorters came running in, grunting, and running and did I mention grunting?

And then Snape returned, this time, his clothes were in tatters, before he fainted, he managed to somehow say "The silly snitch seekers, they breed like rabbits......"

And before he even got to the floor, another 200 odd Pumpkin Snorters came bounding through the door. and started wreaking Havoc. Soon, all the students and teachers were gone, except for the trio, who would most likely be left to clean it all up, That was until Harry walked off.
"Oi, you silly bother, where do you think your going?" shouted Ron, obviously getting quite peeved that Harry decided not to save the school again.
"Somewhere where you silly Snitchseekering Idiot's can't find me!" And so off he stormed.

*Stomp Stomp Stomp, Storm, Stamp, Heavy Stepping, Stomp Stomp Stomp *

"Oh be quiet!" Harry turned to see a portrait, It looked like a man-version of Umbridge, staring angrily at him, so he hurried off. Just as he got near the door, a Pumpkin Snorter blocked his way, and cursed him into Oblivion.............

(apparently it's TOO long, so the rest is in next post..)

*~Mean While, back in the Great Hall, with 2 Great SideKicks.~*

Ron was getting very angry, as he was trying to curse all the Pumpkin Snorters behind Pumkin Ninny's back but everytime he cursed one, another one would walk in the door two minutes later, guaranteed. Ron, still angry, turned to Hermione, and started whining about Harry, "That Bl**dy Snitch - "
"Ron, don't you dare say that filthy word, it's about as bad as Draco calling me a Mud-"
"Ok, ok, I get your point, maybe we could, like curse them all at once, or if we kill the chief, maybe they will all surrender and leave."
"Ron, " Hemrione started getting all excited, "That's an absolutely BRILLIANT idea, now, what was his name, so we can get him over here, What....Dumbledore......"
"It wsa Pumkin Ninny, I believe Hermione,"
"Oh ok"

So they got to work, schemeing and planning, on how to 1) Pronounce his name and 2) What curse to use. Half an hour later, they were ready.

"Oh Pumkin Ninny, Can you help me tie my shoelace?" Hermione batted her eyelashes in what she thought a sexy manner. Let me tell you, It was absolutely NOT sexy, in anyway, but, alas, poor Pumkin Ninny, was sucked in, and lent over to help her, then as soon as he bent down, Ron popped out of nowhere (BUT, it wasn't apparition, becase Hemione says you can't Apparate onto Hogwarts grounds at every oppurtunity she gets.) and screamed "uh, what was the spell again?"

Hermione sighed, "If you want a job done well, do it yourself, ABRA KEDABRA!!!!:"

All the Pumpkin Snorters popped, one by one, all of them, in the Dungeons, the entrance hall, the place where Harry was cursed into Oblivion, and the Great Hall. When they were sure the last one had popped, they spun around in the Great Hall, and noticed the Great Mess, as they looked, they realised that since they made the mess, they had to clean it. At this notation was when they fainted.

When they woke up the next day they were miraculously in their own warm snug beds, after changing and such, they walked down to the Great Hall, after going throught the Great Halls Great Doors, to notice it was a Great Clean Hall. As they got to the table they almost fainted. Guess what they had on the table for breakfast?????

1. Some one in Slytherin must be kicked out and Snape and Dumbledore don't do it
2. The school becomes overrun with some kind of animal
3. A boy must run through the castle shrieking like a girl

*cries*

Yea, it's me. my account stuffed up, i emailed someone about it, they said they'd look at it and i realised after a week that it probably wasnt goin to be fixed, so, I got a new account, and i have to start from the start.. so uh.. yea..

Until i have time to accept a dare again ( at the moment, 5 of 6 subjects have given me homework) i shall post my old stories, because i want them in here..

Good work on the dare! Gave me a much needed laugh today!

Ah well, back to the salt mines (aka homework. YUCK!)

lolololol

Well i hope that means you like it, until i get a chance to do another dare, i shall post another one, one i consider to be my best, but also my favouritest..
Well, actually i wont post that one, cause this one has the starting point, for a recurring... performance... by uh... shall we say, someone special??

Uh.....The Guest of Honour and the Welcoming Performance

Harry Potter walked into the great hall like it was any other day, but as he walked in to sit down and have some breakfast, he noticed that there was no food whatsoever. Still, he sat down, deciding that they must'nt have sent the food up yet.

As he sat down, Hermione looked up with a gleeful look on her face. "Guess what Harry" and before he could answer, she gushed out with "The House Elves are on strike and and and"
"And WHAT Hermione?" Harry was getting impatient, and the news he just had didn't please him, cause when a boy was hungry, he wanted food, and if there was no food, he was going to starve, and boys-who-live shouldn't be starved, they need their strength to fight the you-know-who's.
"Well, Ronald McDonald is coming to Hogwarts today!! How could you forget??"
Harry's jaw dropped to the ground, much to Ron's amusement."What, you mean THE Ronald McDonald, is coming here, to Hogwarts?"
"Yes Harry, he'll be here before lunchtime"
"Well, I better go get ready then!"

So Harry jumped up, after only have been sitting down for a minute or so, and rushed back to the Gryffindor Tower. On his way, he met to very sick love birds, or should we say love elfs, it seemed that Winky and Dobby were the only 2 House Elves that weren't on Sstrike, but merely enjoying the freedom of a strike. Before Harry could be seen by the two, he ducked off behind a statue of Sir Bumbling Barney, and waited as they skipped off, all happy like.

Harry emerged from behind the statue, and continued on his way to Gryffindor Tower. He climbed the staircases to the 4th floor, and went through the closest door, there, he saw the most peculiar sight, there, was a toad, with a one legged man standing over it, laughing, all of a sudden, the toad started bouncing around. Harry decided this was enough, and yelled out "OI!"

The man that turned around, was none other then Professer Mad Eye Moody, and seeing Harry, he quickly UnTransfigured the toad, and Harry, seeing it was Dolores Umbridge, just turned around and said, "Sorry, continue on" and kept walking. Harry walked a few metres before looking around, and saw the toad bouncing up and down the hallway again, with Moody laughing maniacally.

Soon after Harry finally reached the Gryffindor Tower, Harry entered by saying the password and then rushed up to his dorm and got ready.

An hour and a half later Harry came downstairs to find Ron waiting for him.
"Geez Harry, how come it takes so long for you to get ready?"
"Uh Well, you see Ron, I wanted to look my best!"
"Oh, ok, are you ready to go then?" Ron's face clearly said he was stifling giggles,
"Yep, Let's go"

So off they went, down to the Great Hall, just in time for lunch, but then they remembered the House-Elves were on strike, and they wouldn't have any food.
"Maybe this Ronald Bloke will bring food?" Ron thought out loud.
"Yea, maybe, after all, he is the representative of a huge fast food company."
"Sweet, Oh Look, there's Hermione, Let's go sit with her shall we?"

So they walked over and plopped themselves down on either side of Hermione, as though to protect her. But then Dumbledore rose to give the lunch time announcements.
"Firstly, I would like to tell you that our much anticipated guest, Ronald McDonald, is here, and - "
Multiple cheers and w00t's where heard all aruond the hall, then they silenced, and waited for Dumbledore to continue.
"Secondly, I would like to say that, Draco Malfoy will be the first performance in the welcoming Show, that I and several students have put together for our Guest of Honour."
Several people whispered to themselves around the room, while Malfoy, looked considerably confident.
"Now, if the students in the show, will please go get ready, there is a room, just off the Entrance Hall, which has been set up. Thankyou."
Around 20 Students got up, and walked out, mostly Hufflepuffs, Harry noticed, but then turned around, to give Dumbledore his full attention, once more.
"Ok, and now, as our House-Elves are on strike" Hermione looked positively spurting with happiness. "Our guest of Honour, has kindly brought food with him, Now please, welcome our Guest of Honour, Ronald McDonalllllllllllllllllllldddd!"
Cheers rang out through the hall as mentioned celebrity, stepped into the Great Hall, with hundreds of McDonalds workers carrying large Big Mac Meals for everyone.As Ronald handed them out, he smiled (Not like he had much choice, with it being painted there and all) and laughed as people looked surprised at his feet size.
Not long after, Ronald made his way up to the Teachers Table, and took his place on one side of Dumbledore, next to Severus Snape, while McGonagall looked as if she would give anything to sit in Snape's spot.
Dumbledore rose again, this time to introduce the Guest of Honour, with his welcoming show. "Students, Teachers and Guests of Hogwarts, I present you with the Ronald Welcoming Commitee's Welcome Performance, first up, we have Draco Malfoy, of Slytherin, performing a beautiful routine for us, Draco, if your ready!"
Draco nodded, and the music started, he twirled out onto the stage, his costume was quite pretty, it was a pink tu-tu with silver sparkles all over it, shining in the light. Draco gave a small bow, then he started his routine, he pirouetted, turned, swirled and even did the splits, and by the time he had finished, not only had Draco have the whole school standing up, Ronald McDonald was there, cheering him on, making him go a very similar colour to his tu-tu.


~Dare~Requirements~
*a well known celebrity must appear
*Prof. Umbrige must appear and be turned into a toad
*Dobby must develope a relationship with Winky hehehe
*the house elves must go on strike

great job PAMS

thanks I don't mean to sound narky, but next time maybe you could just edit your post

heres another story.. this is what i call my favouritest one. Another part from what i want to call the Tutu series..(this is the last of them for now....

The Night Fang was Scarred


"Come On Fang, yer great git, We're only going fer a walk"
Fang protested. Fang didn't like walks. Not in the Dark anyway. Not since the last time he'd been take for a stroll.

~!Fangs Flashback!~

Me and Hagrid were just walking around the Forbidden Forest. We'd only been out for around 5 minutes. When we heard giggling. It was moving further and further away, towards the school, silly Hagrid had to go an check it out. Me being the faithful companion went along.
We walked up towards the school, following the giggles at a distance. They entered the school. A minute later we followed. We continued down the hallway, when we heard Dumbledore talking to someone.
"Oh come on Minnie, Just a kiss, please?"
"No. You've already had too many butterbeers, and you'll regret it in the morning" came a stern, but relaxed voice. It was a woman,
He gave the person a puppy dog face that could put me to shame. "Please?" He pleaded.
The lady buckled, then giggled, "Oh alright, just one, then you go off to bed alright?"
"Awww thanks Minnie" Dumbledore proceeded to kiss the lady on the lips.
I remember Hagrid saying something like "Oh God No, not McGonagall 'n' Dumbledore. Who woulda thunk it?"
What happened next was unbearable. They finished their "kiss" and then it happened. Next thing I know, Dumbledore is running past me wearing no clothes. I saw Dumbledore's purple robes lying on the ground. I heard Hagrid scream and saw him close his eyes with fright. McGonagall, or the lady, was giggling, but just turned around and walked off, skipping, like an innocent school girl.

~!End Flashback!~

So you can see why I was scared and reluctant to ever go for a walk again. Can't you? Seeing a 150 year old man in the Nuddy was not my life's most favourable moment. What was worse was when the dreams started. Dumbledore's robes must've triggered something in my memory. I started haveng dreams. Bad ones. Purple things (Grape Gumdrops or something) were running at me. Shedding their skin, and chasing me. teeth baring. They never did anything, I always woke up before they could. But their intentions were clear. They wanted to eat me.
This went on for weeks and weeks. Then one day, I fell asleep (as dogs do) and I had the dream again. Just as I was about to wake up, I saw this red and white thing run past. then another. Soon, Hundreds of Red and White things were attacking these 'Gum Drops.' I later found out, that it was in fact, hundreds of Candy Canes that had (thankfully) saved me from these horrid dreams.
Anyway, after around 10 minutes of Hagrid pleading, I gave in. I needed to lose weight I reasoned, but I promised myself, that if I heard giggling, of any sort, I would high-tail outta there.
I was enjoying my walk with Hagrid, nothing disastrous had happened yet (like Nuddy Headmasters for one) and I was peacefully walking around the gates. Then I heard shouts. I sighed as I followed Hagrid to the noise. Probably a bunch of doopy kids fighting I thought miserably. As we got closer I began to understand the words. I remember these clearly.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE PURPLE? I WANTED PINK YOU DIMWIT. NOT PURPLE" It was a boy shouting. I didn't know who though. I'm not good with names. Another boy replied. "I'- I'm sorry Draco"
Draco Malfoy eh? Hmm, this could get interesting. I ran infront of Hagrid to get a better listen. Needn't of had to. Seeing as the screaming could've woken people in China.
"LOOK AT ME. DO YOU THINK THAT THOSE PURPLE TIGHTS WILL GO WITH THIS TUTU? NO! THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT"
"Maybe you could try them on anyway" I thought the other boy was brave for suggesting this. Very brave indeed.
Less then a minute later, the screeching sound was back. "LOOK. I TOLD YOU PURPLE TIGHTS DO NOT GO WITH MY TUTU, MY TUTU IS SPARKLY, AND PINK, AND VERY PRETTY. And you've ruined it with you lack of being able to tell the diffrence between purple and pink" The boy sobbed at the last part, and started piroutting away to clear his mind.
By the time Hagrid got there, the boy was gone. But I'll never forget that night. And for the rest of my doggy days, I'll never walk out side again. Ever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Medrauts Dare:
>Someone must have dreams where Giant Gumdrops attack them and try to eat them
2>Candy canes must come to the rescue
3>Dumbledore must have a little too much butterbeer kiss Mcgonogall and then streak through Hogwarts
4>Hagrid and Fang must see it all
5>Umm..... I need one last thing.... Draco must be seen practicing a ballet in purple tights (since it seems tights are very popular in Dares)
