For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

I can't figure it out either! And I own the book! I've gone through it somewhat, but I can't really find anything. :(

The Pitstop - Leg 2

At the pitstop, the host Light was waiting for the other teams to arrive with the other teams. Then, WIS and Typhoon made it!

"WIS and Typhoon. You are team number 4!" the host said.

"It was hard, but we did it!" WIS said proudly.



2 teams to arrive
Pixa and Annohilator have been removed from this round (temp).

This clue is apparently very hard.

The Pitstop - Leg 2

At the pitstop, the host Light was waiting for the other teams to arrive with the other teams. Then, Roxas and DM appeared out of nowhere. Finally, LovioNeko appeared.

"LovioNeko, you are the last team to arrive. You were eliminated." the host said. After many embraces from other teams, LovioNeko finally departed.

Leg 3

Image
"Did you hear about the Amazing Race on PPT?"



The remaining teams gathered upon the mat.

"Only 6 of you remain now.. Who shall be eliminated next?" the host said. Immediately, they all pointed to each other.

"That was a rhetorical question." the host replied "Your destination information is on your clue! Good luck!" and with that they were off!


Please remember to check in at the pitstop. IF you can't participate please PM me and we'll remove you for the leg.

4) All of you that posted your Harry Potter short stories so far got 1000-2000 points.
5) Contest closes in a week or so..
6) We have 1 story so far:

After the train pulled out of sight, parents started to leave. Harry and Ginny headed straight back through the wall to the main station, taking their daughter Lily with them, who was still looking back at the train's path with longing.
Ron turned to Hermoine and shrugged. "Well, at least Rosie is on her way," he commented, looking down to Hugo, who impatiently stamped his foot, like Lily, wanting to have been on that train. "I'm sure she'll be fine."
Malfoy overheard from where he was standing. "I hope your kids got her brains," he remarked, nodding at Hermoine. "Otherwise, they'll never make it through their OWLs."
Ron started to turn red, and Hermoine put her hand on his arm. "I heard a fart, Ron. Nothing more. Hugo. Go catch up with Lily, please."
"But Mom..."
"Now." Came the firm answer. The boy ran straight back through the wall.
"There's nothing more annoying than a Weasley," came the droll from Malfoy's mouth.
Hermoine glared at him. "Be careful who you say that to, Malfoy."
"Oh, having the wife defend you now, are we?" came the retort, a smug look on his face.
Wands came out immediately, and with lightening speed, Ron shouted " Expelliarmus!"
At nearly the same time, Hermoine cried out. "Aguamenti!"
As Malfoy's wand went flying, a rush of water spouted from Hermoine's wand and drenched Malfoy. Something that looked like a wand went flying with the water in his direction.
Malfoy cursed, and grabbed the wand laying in the puddle around him. Dripping wet and seething, he pointed his wand at Ron. Before he could say another word, Ron pointed his wand at him and cried "Langlock!".
Malfoy tried to speak, but couldn't get his tongue to move from the top of his mouth.
"Perhaps I'm not quite a stupid as you've always thought I was," Ron commented. "Don't mess with Aurors."
Frustrated, Malfoy stormed off to have someone else release him from the spell, leaving a trail of water behind him.
Ron grinned at Hermoine. "Good one," she remarked, looking to where he'd been.
"Maybe we should send him a few presents from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes...I was thinking maybe...some U-No-Poo. Or some Skiving Snackboxes...disguised of course..." Ron muttered.
"Nah. I think he'll be having enough fun with the Trick Wand he grabbed..." Hermoine grinned mischievously.
Ron raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, Hugo had brought one of the trick wands along, and I caught him playing with it earlier, and took it away from him. When I drenched him, I threw it in that direction, and he picked it up by mistake. It'll be at least another 15 minutes before he realizes that it wasn't his..."
Ron looked at her. "I'm rubbing off on you, you know..."
They both laughed, and hurried to catch up with Harry, Ginny, Lily and Hugo.

The Pitstop - Leg 3

At the pitstop, the host Light was waiting for the other teams to arrive. 49 minutes after their flight arrived, Penguin and Pickles arrived at the pitstop.

"Penguin and Pickles. You're really on a roll. You're team Number 1!" the host said.

"You have won an extra 1000 points!" he added.

"It's becoming a normal thing for us.." Penguin said happily though Pickles added "Neverthless, it's still exciting and great to come first!"

The Pitstop - Leg 3

At the pitstop, the host Light was waiting for the other teams to arrive. While Penguin and Pickles were out seeing the sights in Istanbul. All of a sudden, Dyl and CWisgood appeared and stepped on the mat.

"Dyl. CWisgood. You're team #2!" the host said

They were happy, but still tired. At 3:55, WIS and Typhoon crossed the finish line.

"WIS. Typhoon! You are team number #3!" the host said

Later, Susannahmio and Miyu arrived.

"Susannahmio, Miyu! You are team number #4!" the host said

Like the other teams, WIS, Typhoon, Susannahmio and Miyu were happy but tired.

Sorry about this. Noo can't get onto PPT so we're a bit stranded at the moment. He's forgotten his passwords to both accounts and can't do much about it. I'm going to have to contact an admin to resolve this, probably.
