Auror’s Tale Story Challenge Season 4, the Results

 

 Thank you, participants for making an entry for my story challenge. I feel thankful thinking over that you spared time for this.

 This time, it’s very interesting. Two authors wrote about the protagonist’s hard situation, the same theme, Lyncanthropy. @Bardic Magic, Kevin chose a trainee Auror Teddy Lupin as the protagonist and @Pixileanin chose Auror Tonks and her soulmate, Bill Weasley.

And the other authors wrote about First Wizarding War. Both Nim @Theia and Kayla @poppunkpadfoot wrote about Auror Sirius so greatly.

 

Nim @Theia wrote about characteristics of James and Sirius so nicely. It’s a very promising start. The dialogues between James and Sirius are well written. On the contrary, readers are horrified when they spot Voldemort’s punishment. The contrast is marvelous.

 

Kayla  @poppunkpadfoot  wrote about Sirius Black’s inner emotion so greatly. His brother’s death is still in mystery. The most impressive scene is that his mother tells about his brother’s death. The spot is the highlight of chapter 3.

 Pixi @Pixileanin wrote about the villain, Fenrir Greyback so terrific. She let us recognize how important the villain’s role is in the mystery or crime story. She is the Queen of the action scene. Readers feel so excited by the scene, how Tonks and Bill beat the villain.

 Kevin @Bardic Magic wrote about Teddy Lupin. He set the very serious situation around Teddy and the very entertaining scenes for readers. I believe readers will definitely like the later scene, (spoiler alert folks :D ) Harry, our hero comes back! And Kevin added more, about Vampirism, which is very impressive as well. So many twists and turns will never betray you, readers!
