SpringFest prompt post

[shimotsuki.livejournal.com]

This is the place to leave your prompts for SpringFest!

Here's a recap of how prompting works for this event. For detailed community guidelines and event instructions, please see the previous post. If you have questions about how prompt submission works, please leave those questions as comments on the previous post as well.

• Leaving at least one prompt in any category is how you join the event; this will get you posting access once posting opens on Friday.
  
  
• There are three categories of prompts. Go down to the comments on this post, find the top-level comment by me (shimotsuki) that identifies each prompt category, and leave your prompts for that category as a response to my comment.
  
  
• You are welcome to leave up to five prompts in each category. You don't have to submit all five prompts at one time — you can come back and add more later. But do keep in mind that prompts submitted early in the event are more likely to be picked up by writers and artists.
  
  
• Please keep all prompts work-safe.
  
  
• When the time comes to choose prompts for your fic or art, you don't have to claim them officially here — just declare them in the header when you post (instructions will be provided). You can choose a prompt from just one, or from two, or from all three categories, depending upon how inspiration strikes!

Right, then, let the event begin!

Re: Miscellaneous prompts

1. one hundred forty-two staircases (which is how many there are at Hogwarts, apparently!)

2. This description of Honeyduke's:

There were shelves upon shelves of the most succulent-looking sweets imaginable. Creamy chunks of nougat, shimmering pink squares of coconut ice, fat, honey-coloured toffees; hundreds of different kinds of chocolate in neat rows; there was a large barrel of Every Flavour Beans, and another of Fizzing Whizzbees, the levitating sherbet balls that Ron had mentioned; along yet another wall were ‘Special Effects’ sweets: Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum (which filled a room with bluebell-coloured bubbles that refused to pop for days), the strange, splintery Toothflossing Stringmints, tiny black Pepper Imps (‘breathe fire for your friends!’), Ice Mice (‘hear your teeth chatter and squeak!’), peppermint creams shaped like toads (‘hop realistically in the stomach!’) , fragile sugar-spun quills and exploding bonbons.
