Potioncat:
I thought they were teenagers being bad, so to speak. Then I 
wondered  if Severus Snape was one of the three who crashed into the 
car. 'Then' I thought it would explain why Professor Snape had been 
so angry about the flying car many years later!

When I first heard about this charity event, it reminded me of a fan-
fiction challenge. "Write an 800 word story that takes place prior 
the HP books." It actually reads like fan-fiction. But, it is what it 
is, a quick little story that JKR wrote for the fun of it. I like the 
fact that we only get the middle...we don't know anything about what 
went before or how it will be resolved in the end, but we know they 
were in some sort of conflict. 

Sort of like another challenge: here's the middle, now write the 
beginning and end.
