What's up, Harry Potter fandom? Ariaeris is back, and this time with something different than usual. Why you ask? After all, this just seems like another drabbles series, much like Harry's Chosen One (which I swear I'll finish soon).
The answer: this drabbles series is actually a challenge from my dear friend Kamerreon. Our favorite genius decided to challenge people to write 100~ word drabbles for at least fifty days for the Harry Potter fandom. Because I (hate myself) love a challenge, I decided to take up the challenge.
Anyway, Kamerreon decided that we would all start posting our fics on September first and, from here to at least October twentieth, all you readers get to be showered with drabbles written by some really great writers (including Kamerreon herself). Show some support for us all and check us all out; Kamerreon has the names of everyone who is participating in the challenge on her profile.
Now, I know that I usually have fairly extensive author notes (because I do like talking with my readers after all), but I am going to try and limit myself this time around. So, unless it's necessary, there won't be any author notes at all, so that the series will be easier to read. Sorry to anyone who actually likes these things!
Anyway, I've rambled long enough; this is longer than the drabble itself! I hope you all enjoy the work of everyone who participates in this challenge and, as always, don't forget to leave a review!
Ariaeris~
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Not the characters, not the series, not even the drabble challenge. In the end, all I have is my thoughts and ideas and the ability to share them with you all.

All around him, students chatted gleefully, whispering about the Tournament that would be held at their school and how interesting the coming events would be. Ron was one of the many chattering away, and Harry nodded every once in awhile in a show of interest.
Already many students from both Hogwarts and the two visiting schools had entered their names in the Tournament, wishing to be chosen as their school's Champion. Ron was convinced that Angelina was the best choice for Hogwarts, but Harry could think of someone else who would fit the role much better in his opinion.
The doors to the Great Hall opened, bringing a momentary silence in their wake until a small group of students entered, cheering and shouting for the blushing young man in the middle.
Ron snorted in disgust, muttering about pretty boys, but Harry tuned him out once more as he watched Diggory and his group walk up to the Cup. There was a second of almost reverent silence as the Hufflepuff cast his name into the Cup, and then a surge of cheers as the group made its exit almost as quickly as they came.
Diggory managed to catch Harry's eye right as he was leaving, and the older seeker flashed him a smile that eclipsed any of the polite grins he had gifted his well-wishers with. The next second he was gone, and Harry was left wondering when his hands had started shaking.
For some reason, the smile had almost seemed like a beginning.
