Top Ten Ways to Spot a Werewolf We’ve decided to shift things up a bit this month by inviting you to collaborate with a friend and come up with the Top Ten Ways to Spot a Werewolf (or you may still submit an entry by yourself). As you may recall in the Order of the Phoenix, James, Remus and Sirius have just completed their DADA O.W.L. "Did you like question ten, Moony?" asked Sirius as they emerged into the entrance hall. "Loved it," said Lupin briskly. "'Give five signs that identify the werewolf.' Excellent question." "D'you think you managed to get all the signs?" said James in tones of mock concern. "Think I did," said Lupin seriously, as they joined the crowd thronging around the front doors eager to get out into the sunlit grounds. "One: He's sitting on my chair. Two: He's wearing my clothes. Three: His name's Remus Lupin...." (OOTP, Ch. 28) In the spirit of Fred and George, James, Sirius and Remus, we’d like your entries to be entertaining and without an iota of seriousness or factuality. Winners will be announced on Fred and George’s birthday--April 1, 2009. As a bit of a backstory on how we came up with this contest, a few staffers got a little bored one day and started posting some snarky top 10 lists in one another’s profiles. The following is a little something Dreamteam and FredFan came up with for fw00per. We share it with you to give you an example of what we’re looking for: Top 10 Ways You Know You've Been Living With Dragons Too Long 10) You confuse the soft touch of a woman with the hide of a dragon. 9) The words "playing with fire" take on a deeper, more painful meaning. 8) You begin to like the frizzled look of your hair. 7) You realise you’re saving money because you no longer need to wax your legs—it’s being burned off on a regular basis. 6) You hum the words to the song "Torn Between Two Lovers" while trying to decide if you're going to fly the Norwegian Ridgeback or Chinese Fireball. 5) You stop wearing dragonhide boots because nice guys don't wear "family". 4) Unlike Harry, you really do have a Hungarian Horntail tattooed across your chest. 3) You feel a sudden chill when you are away from your work and take to wearing winter coats in the middle of summer. 2) You refuse to marry because no woman can light your fire the way a dragon does. 1) When a Healer asks you to hop onto the scales, you climb onto the back of a Common Welsh Green. General Rules:
