Grab the 7th book from your bookshelf. Open it up to page 7.
Pinpoint the 7th sentence on the page. Begin a poem/a piece of prose that begins with that sentence.
Limit it in length to 7 lines/7 sentences
“As this thought
occurred he wheeled around and stared back down Privet Drive, but it appeared
to be completely deserted again and Harry was sure that Dobby did not know how
to become invisible…."
Or did he? Harry surely couldn’t begin to imagine all the mysterious ways of a house elf.
Perhaps someone else had been there and had apparated.
All wizards over the ripe old age of 18 could after
all.
It could have been anyone.
Could Voldemort be here in Little Whinging watching him at
this very moment waiting to attack?
Harry’s hand readied his wand because one never knew what
lurked in the darkness.
The excerpt in italics was taken from "Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix" by J.K. Rowling for this writing challenge.
