Prompts
Happy anniversary, villagers! Buckle up!
- HEAT WAVE - Poor you. All you were trying to do was get yourself a little something to eat from the kitchen at the inn. Maybe you cooked it up yourself (The inn does, after all, have an electric stove — FANCY!), or maybe you just grabbed some leftovers. By accident or on purpose, you ended up with way more RED SALT in there than you maybe should have, and this is no ordinary seasoning. Whether you like things eye-wateringly spicy or not, it's August, you're sweating buckets, and it's only getting worse.
- SKUNK DRUNK - Isn't that just the way? You're out and about, minding your own business, and you get sprayed by a BROWN SKUNK. The good news? It doesn't stink like a normal skunk. The also possibly good news, depending on who you ask? You're now in for about 5 hours of being very, very friendly. (Just remember to keep the test drive PG!)
- BRAIN CANDY - Whether you made it to the anniversary party or not, you've gotten your hands on a piece of leftover candy from the big bash. Careful, though, these treats are more than meets the eye: Whatever COLOR it was, you've now taken on the associated personality traits. (Not the power, just the traits.) At least it only lasts 10 minutes.
- WILDCARD - Choose your own adventure. Maybe play powers roulette.

Harry Potter | Harry Potter
In Harry's case, the stereotype about English people not being able to hold up against spicy food, was true. Sure he enjoyed a good spicy curry now and then, but whatever he had seasoned his fish with was beyond his threshold of tolerance. The heat sloshed through his moth permeating it even further with the cool water he had hurriedly drank after that first bite.
"Hhheeeeeh," he wheezed loudly. Behind slightly askew spectacles his eyes clenched shut against tears of pain from the unexpected heat. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad but it was hot here today. Really hot! And now his mouth was on fire. Harry couldn't have missed drizzly, dreary old London more at that moment, with a nice soggy milk toast or some such.
Whoever was nearby would have the discomfort of Harry's ugly, splotchy red face turning to them as he continued to wheeze. "Is. there. milk?" he asked, then wondered if he would regret that too. For all he knew the milk here would turn him into a toad, or make him blind for a few hours. Having lived in the Wizarding World long enough he should have expected the unexpected by now, but he didn't. Compared to the flaming heat in his mouth turning into a toad sounded alright enough.
ii. wildcard!
((gimme your best shot :D))

Which isn't to say he isn't pleased — He is, inordinately. But it's well odd when the last time he'd seen Harry back home, he'd been a baby, and now here he comes popping out the fountain full-grown and looking more like James than ought to be allowed. Sirius feels torn, really, between the innate need to be near his godson, and to just stay well away because obviously Sirius is the cause of all of Harry's troubles and the kid is much better off without him. Between that and Sirius not being as old as Harry remembers, it's been a bit of an awkward go of it since he turned up.
But none of that means Sirius doesn't care, or doesn't spend what is probably entirely too much time lurking nearby trying to get his head around it all while he does the one thing he reckons he might still manage, which is keep Harry alive.
The red salt seems unlikely to kill anybody, but Sirius has experienced its wrath himself, and he jolts for the inn kitchen almost as soon as he enters the room and spies Harry's face, returning a moment later with a cup of milk.
"Ignore the color, it tastes the same," he insists as he thrusts the cup Harry's way, slopping a little of the pale green liquid onto the floor.
