Uh, Akbar, you're several days overdue. Write it, damnit. Please. Or I'll mock you in my story parts.

...Or I'll mock you in my parts. That sounds hilariously wrong. If I finish my Snitch chapter before you're done, I'll post my chapter, and you can post your's when it's done. So take as long as you can, so the pressure's not on ME to finish MY chapter. :-p

Akbar finished his part. But his computer is screwing up, or something, so I'm posting it for him.
Part Four Continued
Ila and Char sat at the SlytherClaw table; magically making frogs with freakishly large genitalia appear in people’s breakfasts. Robert groaned, and angrily attacked his breakfast. By the time swans had made her way to the center of the hall, his plate was completely empty. As he stood up, and walked slowly towards swans, he felt like there were lead weights tied to his shoes.
There were actually leaden weights. Another one of Char’s little tricks. ----- Robert and Ila trudged down the stairs to BSam’s drinks cellar, or, as he called it, Happyland. The other students would arrive in ten minutes. For now, they had to go down, and swans was coming along to wake Sam up.
Sam was awake, and he sat at the desk with an eerie grin on his face. In front of him were 5 bottles filled with odd liquids, and 10 glasses. Ila started to giggle nervously.
She wouldn’t be giggling more anytime soon.
-------
PJ moved closer to Char. She didn’t notice and her concerntration remained on Sam. He was explaining the task to the assembled students. He sneezed, and snot assembled on Char’s shoulder. She yelled.
It began.
-----
The first bottle contained a sweet-smelling purplish liquid. Sam poured each glass full of it.
Ila gulped it down in 3 and a half seconds and promptly asked for more, before turning into a lemon.
Robert drank it slowly and cautiously, until Kobolos stepped forward and tipped his glass forward. Robert grimaced.
He belched. Char giggled and directed a tiny mosquito down his throat.
“One for HuffleDor!” roared Sam.
------
As Derik strained to see what was going on, Pandora pushed forward and knocked off his glasses. She then managed to trip on some-one’s robe and landed up on the floor, looking up at the next bottle. It was filled with a foul-smelling green concoction.
Ila had been changed back and was now staring at Robert, fire gleaming in her eyes.
Sam casually drew up two more martini glasses and filled them with the concoction.
Ila took hers and began to sip it, as Robert had last time. After about 5 seconds, a purple ponytail sprouted out of the back of her head. Seeing an opportunity, Snicket muttered a spell to infest it with lice. His spell backfired. The ponytail disappeared in a flash.
Meanwhile, Robert stood in the other corner, shivering and occasionally reaching up to touch his hair. It had turned into ice.
“SlytherClaw!” yelled Sam.
----------------
George covered his face with his robe, as the next ‘drink’ appeared. It’s pungent odor already filled the chamber.
Robert drank it first and as he slowly metamorphosed into a chrysalis, Ila began her drink.
She became a statue. Derik chipped off a bit of her nose and threw at Char. Robert, meanwhile, had fought his way out the chrysalis and so:
“HuffleDor!” yelled Sam, clearing the room of the odor. Cheering erupted.
-------------
The fourth drink was the best. It was electric blue. Dante stared at it , wondering how long it would take to burn. Beside him, Antenora was discussing Ila’s chances with Ennui.
As Robert slowly drank his martini glass full of the stuff, he began to float. Higher and higher he went, until finally the drink was finished. He crashed back down.
Ila, on the other hand, managed to stay up in the air and levitate back down slowly.
“SlytherClaw” bellowed Sam, and Dante set fire to the blue liquid. It disappeared in a puff of blue smoke which smelled just the tiniest bit like a Bacardi Breezer.
-------------
As Sam solemnly brought in the last bottle and placed it on a table with two martini glasses on it, PJ hexed Akbar. Akbar retaliated with a curse that made him hiccup uncontrollably. Char threw a golf ball into his mouth.
As Robert raised the glass of amber liquid to his lips, Sam blew a whistle, and both he and Ila drank.
Ila collapsed on the floor giggling uncontrollably. Robert just stood there, a grin on his face.
“HUFFLEDOR” Yelled Sam, and he silently whispered to Robert: “Good kid. You can take your drinks.”
---------------------
“Good on GryffinDor for winning.” Mused Kobolos.
“Yeah. That kid can take his drinks.” Sam replied.
“As a point of interest ,what exactly were those potions?”
“Oh, just assorted drinks with a couple of curses mixed in.”
“Well, I think you’re drinking one.” Kobolos said, to the lemon on the armchair facing him.

I think I should make an interlude with Pan and Cel, because Sam and Kobolos are havng all the fun. Maybe it'll be an epilogue, or a subplot in my Grail chapter, or something. Or not, because I suck. Well, the Snitch chapter is completed, as are PJ's chapters. I'll either post the Snitch today or tomorrow, so I have time to do the Grail bit.
Also: three huzzahs for Akbar! Huzzah!

As long as the fun remains humorous to read, that is.

Here's my icky, awful Snitch chapter.
The Quidditch field was made even larger than usual. The expanse was almost dizzying to the contestants, especially when thinking about catching a walnut-sized ball that flew as fast as a hummingbird. "There are scores of Snitches set loose on the field," Aries announced. "The teams will catch as many as they can in one hour..." And he added with a wicked smirk, "Lest they are bitten by a doxy, they can be given the antidote in a safe-enough time." "A doxy?" Dante, Ennui and Soi whispered. "They didn't say anything about a doxy..." Tyler, who was filled with confidence and house pride, shrugged. "They're just doxies. It's not like they're hippogriffs or anything." "It's not the doxies, it's the priniciple!" Ennui exclaimed. "They didn't tell us about the doxies!" "They had no right to throw in doxies." Dante agreed. "Now, contestants: on your marks...get set...watch out for the doxies, chimeras, griffins and hippogriffs...GO!" The contestants assumed Aries was kidding and rose to the air on their generic broomsticks. "It would definitely be a good idea if we split up." Ennui said to Dante. "Of course. No dilemm--" Dante stopped short as he caught a glimpse of something. It was large, goat-like--no, a lion--or a dragon. And Dante's eyes widened when he realized what it really was: a chimera. "What is it?" Ennui asked, turning around so he could see from Dante's point of view. "That's not a chimera, is it?" He exclaimed. They immedietely drew their wands, which had been fixed so that it could only hex animals, not summon, speed up, curse other humans, or do anything that might interfere with pure Snitch-catching. "Let's not provoke it." He said this quietly, even though the chimera was quite far away. "Let's just go around it. Away from it." "Do you still think it's wise to split up?" Dante whispered. "I don't know. But we have to try it."
Tyler saw a glint of something in the air. "I think I saw a Snitch." He said, his eyes intent on the spot. "Already?" Soi asked. "Yeah. I'm gonna go for it." Tyler said. With that, he zoomed ahead, getting closer to the shining glimmer. As he got nearer, he realized that it was not a snitch, but a very irate pixie. Before he had time to turn back, he was grabbed by the ears, pulled off his broom and was being carried through the air by a pixie, who was emiting a high-pitch wail. Soon, other angry pixies joined, lifting Tyler higher into the air. He was going to be dropped to his death, he was sure of it, and he could only think one thing: What would Cedric do? He squirmed and reached for his wand, only to discover that a pixie had already taken it and, when he saw, the pixie maliciously let it drop. This caused Tyler to squirm even more, despite the fact if he was let go of, he would fall. (There was a reason he was not in Ravenclaw.) They were getting higher and higher. One pixie let go; Tyler felt unsteady. Another pixie let go, and another, and another. "TYLER!" Someone shouted. It was Soidanae. "SOI! HELP!" Tyler cried. "I am." Soidanae muttered, flying towards the pixies with one hand on his wand and the other on Tyler's broom. He hexed several of the pixies and Tyler cried out in fear as he dropped closer to the ground. Soidanae finished the rest of the pixies off, at the same moment pushing Tyler's broom forward as Tyler fell. He didn't make a perfect landing: he had to grab the broom and climb on top of it, practically clawing his way up. Dante cautiously but determinedly flew through the air, always on guard for a glint of gold from the Snitch or the awful cry of the Chimera. Something fluttered right in front of him--a Snitch! He gasped and tried to grab it, but he was too late. "Damn! How could I have missed that?" He hissed. He made a sharp turn to the right to continue his search, prowling through the air. And then, seemingly out of nowhere, a large winged creature leapt at him; there was a flash of fur and a horrible roar before he quickly got out of the way, and from a safe distance, he watched the large grey animal go off in the other direction.
Ennui spotted two doxies tossing something small and shiny back and forth. Occasionally, the object would get away and the doxies would quicky snatch it. Ennui smirked and flew towards the doxies, hexed them and grabbed the object. "AHAH! WE HAVE OUR FIRST CATCH!" Aries exclaimed. "1 point to Slytherclaw! It's 14 minutes into the game..." "14 minutes!" Tyler and Soi exclaimed, their eyes widening. "We better hurry." Tyler said. "Right. Be careful out there, for Merlin's sake!" Soidanae hissed, before going after. Almost miraculously, about five seconds later he saw a Snitch and despite his surprise and amazement, he was able to grab it. "Another Snitch, this one to Huffledor, less than a minute after the last catch! 45 minutes remaining..." Aries said.
Tyler and Dante were now even more determined to make a catch, since their teamates had each caught a Snitch. They circled the field furiously, growing more impatient each lap. Ennui and Soidanae were keeping an eye on each other. They would rather the game to end in a tie than for the other side to catch another snitch. Dante decided that circling the field was stupid, boring and useless, so he flew out to the center. Tyler tailed him, keeping a safe distance. Dante ignored him, since he didn't know what else to do. He flew slowly and carefully across the field until he saw a snitch flying around ahead of him. Quickly, he glanced back at Tyler who didn't appear to see the Snitch. Going straight for the Snitch would cause Tyler to follow, and since Tyler was smaller he could go a lot faster. So Dante feinted: he looked to the right, then at Tyler, pretending he was making sure Tyler didn't see anything, and charged almost full speed to the far right of where the actual Snitch was. Tyler saw this and followed Dante. As soon as Tyler was flying as fast as he could, determined to get the nonexistant Snitch before Dante, Dante turned around and went for the real Snitch. He was going nauseatingly, dangerously fast, and was almost there when, to his dismay, Tyler caught up with him. Dante could not go any faster. Suddenly, Tyler screamed and shouted "Petrificus totalus!" Dante looked and saw a chimera. Tyler's spell hit it, but it didn't do anything but annoy the chimera, causing it to charge. Tyler ducked, and the chimera rammed right into Dante, knocking him off his broom. Surely they won't allow me to plunge to my death...thought Dante. He froze in midair and was lowered to the ground by Kobolos. Sam was there, too, summoning Dante's broom, "Come on, Mr. Rubens, do you really want to lose to Tiller?" Kobolos said. Sam returned the broom to Dante. "You owe me one." Sam joked. Dante said nothing and took off.
"It's 32 minutes into the game...We're over halfway done." Aries said. "Dante Rubens had quite a fall. Tyler seems to be alright, but he lost sight of the Snitch...." Soi and Ennui's tedious searching was interuptted by three hippogriffs, two griffins, a chimera, five large insects and four wyverns. The beasts formed a circle around Soidanae and Ennui. "Don't blink. Don't make any sudden movements." Soi whispered. "It's going to be impossible to fight the other beasts while trying to get on good terms with the hippogriffs." Ennui said. "We have no choice but to hex the lot." "We're rather outnumbered." "Really? I hadn't noticed." Ennui paused and thought of a plan. "Let's send out decoy animals. I guess we have no choice but to conjure birds." "You send the birds, and I'll get the insects out." Soidanae said. "Raidacio!" He said, pointing his wand at an insect. A stream of liquid, and then mist, hit the insects. The insects twitched and writed as they burned. "Avis!" Dozens of birds flew out of Ennui's wand. The griffins and a hippogriff started chasing after them, leaving some room for Soi and Ennui to try and escape. Soidanae was lucky and was able to get out, but as Ennui was flying a hippogriff flew in front of him, knocking him off his broom. Soidanae flew down, grabbed Ennui by the wrist and pulled him onto his broom. "Thank you, Soidanae. You are indeed a noble one, and I shall repay you one day. Not today, though." Ennui said as he caught sight of something. "Sectumsempra!" The chimera roared as its skin was slashed open. The remaining Hippogriffs were startled and flew away. Now the way to his broom was cleared. Carefully, he rose to his feet and made a dangerous leap to his, narrowly grabbing onto the handle. Quickly, he hoisted himself up and made his way to the Snitch he had seen earlier. The crowd had begun counting down the seconds left in the match, but he was almost there...so close...he held out his hand to grab it. And then, in front of him was a blur of red and yellow. The snitch was gone. Ennui hovered in the spot, puzzled. And then he heard: "TYLER CATCHES THE SNITCH AT THE LAST MOMENT!" Aries shouted as the Huffledors cheered. Ennui's eyes widened in disbelief. "I ALMOST HAD IT! I WAS SO CLOSE! Bloody hell!" Defeated, he flew to the ground.
