A/N: I didn't post this here originally because it was just a bit of nothing, but I have since decided to continue it, so here you are. I hope you enjoy! 
Disclaimer: I don’t own it. If I did, I’d share the wealth!
Chapter One: Fanfic100 Challenge Prompt # 11 "Red" Red. It was the color of anger, of frustration, of fire. It was the color of her cheeks when he complimented her. But at the moment, red was most importantly the color of a phoenix. The phoenix she was anxiously waiting to appear. When he left, he had refused to take her with him, though she had fought with him about it for hours. In the end, he had silenced her with a kiss, their first, and then left. He’d left her, standing in the middle of headquarters, her mouth hanging open, stunned senseless, unable to respond. Yes, he’d left, but not before he promised to send a note, so she would know he was okay. So she wouldn’t worry. She let out a nervous chuckle. How could she not worry? “He’s fine,” Poppy said firmly, worried about her friend who had not spoken since returning to their flat. Minerva missed the look of concern passed between Poppy and Pomona. She was too concerned with the small burst of flames next to her. “Fawkes,” she said, taking a deep breath. He was okay.
A/N: Thanks for reading and thank you to beMMADfabulous for the info about the challenge! Happy reading, OSUSprinks!

A/N: I already posted this on ff.net, but I wanted to get it up here. I'm not sure what is coming next, so we'll all be surprised. lol Thanks for reading! ;D Chapter Two: Fanfic100 Challenge #16: Purple Poppy took a sip of tea, enjoying the quiet. As she watched through the kitchen window, Minerva, who was seated on their balcony, made a turn in her knitting. “If I get one more owl requesting ‘just a few more skeins of yarn on the way home,” Pomona came barreling in the kitchen, arms full of groceries, impersonating Minerva’s crisp Scottish accent. She plopped the bags on the counter before continuing in her normal voice, “I will hunt down and murder Albus Dumbledore myself.” Working as the well-oiled machine they were after three years of rooming together, the two began to put the groceries away. “Mona, you know it’s the only way for her to keep calm and stop worrying.” “I know, but this is the forth day in a row and I think-“ Poppy laughed, “Well, will you at least wait to see if he defeats Grindlewald first?” “Of course,” Pomona chuckled, glancing out the window at her other roommate who was starting to end the toe. “But I would like to know what Min thinks the man is going to do with that many pairs of purple socks!”

A/N: Sorry about the wait. College waits for no (wo)man! I am so tired of writing papers and studying, that I thought I would write a little something fun for a change! I am also trying to come up with a better title for this. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks for reading and for my wonderful reviews! ~OSUSprinks
Chapter Three: Fanfic100 Challenge Prompt #17: Brown
Brown “Goodnight, Albus.” “Mud.” “What was that, old chap?” asked a suprised Alastor Moody. The handsome, young Auror was only a few years removed from Hogwarts and already had been promoted to Lead Auror. He rolled over in his uncomfortable cot to face Albus. “Mud. There is mud, drab brown mud everywhere. I’m covered, it’s disgusting, and I can’t sleep.” “So cast a cleansing spell and go to sleep.” Alastor attempted to fluff his hard pillow before lying back down. “But that wouldn’t be fair to the muggles,” Albus countered. The two men and their small band of Aurors were currently camped with a large force of muggle soldiers making their way into Germany. The army was headed north while Albus’ informant from inside Grindlewald’s camp had sent them information, leading the wizards south to a castle in the Black Forest. Albus had spent the last few hours mentally preparing himself for the battle he knew was coming, but it was impossible to rest, covered in mud, this far from home. From past missions with Albus, Alastor knew that when his friend was in such a mood they would both lose sleep. He sighed deeply before attempting to help both Albus and himself, “When I can’t sleep, I think about all the good things at home that I am fighting for, and about getting back to them.” “And would a certain Miss Pomfrey be on that list?” he couldn’t resist teasing the younger man. Without opening his eyes, Alastor answered, half asleep, “I could ask the same of you about another of my former classmates.” Albus cleared his throat several times before rolling over; glad Alastor couldn’t see his blush with his eyes closed. “Goodnight Albus.” “Goodnight.”

Good one! I like how it was typical Albus, to be draw attention to concern about the little details instead of the main thing, the battle. And then not want to be unfair and get rid of the mud around him.
I'd make the title just "Brown" if I were you. I like the idea of just keeping the title the color that prompted it. Nice and simple, yet I think it adds more meaning to the actual piece. I dunno why I think that, it just seems right to me.
But, thats merely my opinion, its your work, so whatever seems right to you is okay with me, as long as you keep writing for us!

A/N: Rather short, but I'm heading out of town today and wanted you all to have something to remember me by! lol I'm not sure I made this clear before, but I am trying to make each of these their own fic, while still having them tell a story when they are put together. That is why the styles keep changing. Hope you guys understand and can put up with me: ) Happy reading, OSUSprinks
Fanfic100 Challenge Prompt #13: Yellow Of the many colors of the rainbow, yellow was one he had never been associated with. He was not a coward. He was not afraid of death. He would stand up for what was right, regardless of the cost. After all, he was a Gryffindor. But for once in his life, he found that he was afraid. Not of death, but of what he would lose if he did die. Sealing the letter and sending it with his fiery friend, he took a moment to think of the recipient. With a deep sigh, he realized that were she present she would scold him for his lack of concentration on the task at hand. Remembering the flushed cheeks and intense gaze that always accompanied her anger strengthened his resolve. He would fight and he would not fail her. Albus Dumbledore was not a coward.

A/N: What do you know, I didn't forget about this! lol The good news is the rest of the chapters are written. If I can figure out how to, I will be changing the name of this fic. lol That's a pretty big IF! Thanks so much for reading.
Disclaimer: Not mine, but I do wish it was if that counts for anything.
Fanfic100 Challenge Prompt #15: Blue Minerva awoke from the most pleasant dream. She rolled over, keeping her eyes closed, trying to savor and remember the feeling of complete happiness, safety, and love. She burrowed deep into her covers, willing herself back to sleep, back into her dream, back to him. Sighing, she threw back the covers, resigned to the fact that she was awake and her dream was over. She wished, as she did each morning she woke from this dream, that she could remember it. Try as she might she never could recall any details, save one, or rather, two. Two beautiful blue eyes.
A/N: Thanks so much for reading! ~OSUSprinks

A/N: Thank you so much thelaundrybasket, childminerva, Lady_TabZ and everyone else for your reviews! On ff.net I only got one for my last chapter, which made me sad, and two for my RW/HG story, which for obvious reasons I can't post here. Not my best showing! So thank you, because I would probably be crying in my beer right now without you!
Fanfic100 Challenge Prompt # 19: White Minerva gave the snowy owl a treat before unrolling the unblemished white parchment. Looking at each side, she found it blank. The candy crumbles, which had been folded inside were the only clues to identity of the sender and Minerva giggled as she recognized another letter from Albus. He had sent her so many in the last few weeks, some with Fawkes when secrecy was needed for his mission in the war, but often with different owls. Muttering a few different passwords, she finally succeeded with “crème puff.” As the parchment filled with words, her eyes filled with tears. He loved her, and more than that, he wished to marry her. “Oh yes, Albus. A thousand times, yes.” As she spoke a small white box appeared before her. Opening it shakily she found a beautiful emerald set in a band of white gold. As she slid the ring on, she began to cry again. She pulled out her own sheet of parchment and began to write, all the while wishing Albus were home to hear her answer in person.
A/N: Thanks for reading and listening to me whine! ;D

Green
The fighting had begun early in the day. While the others fought all around, he had focused on his own personal score to settle as his sworn enemy came into view. This wizard, though he did not deserve the title, stood for everything he stood against. How this man had grown in celebrity and developed a following he would never know. He was not worth the paper used to write about him. As the duel began to grow in intensity he used a subtle “legilimens,” looking for a weakness and barely contained his surprise to find a woman at the front of his enemy’s mind. He dodged a streak of purple light, instantly firing back, trying to catch his opponent off guard. The spells came faster and faster and were quickly becoming more deadly. As the men tired, their aim became more erratic. As he cast his final curse, he heard a twin to his loud, “Avada Kedavra.” As the vivid green light of the spells passed in flight, Grindlewald’s last thoughts were, “I hope I hit the bastard.”

I love the 100 prompts challenge, and I particularly love your replies here. They are just gorgeous little one-shots, and I think the fact that you can fit so much into such a short amount of words is a wonderful credit to your writing.
They are lovely, and the last one was extremely powerful. The idea of Green was very clever.
