Alright so here's a real entry , it actually has to do with something not potter related, yay!
Right then so Tomorrow is Thanksgiving... me eat turkey, stuffing and tofurky ( tofu turkey) lol
Tofu good.
Let's see what else... well the past weekend I rented some movies: Harold and Kumar go to White Castle
Kick ass movie I'm telling you.. well maybe it's not for everyone but if you like stoner flicks then you might like it. Also rented Christmas with the Kranks... on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest.. I give it a 2.. yeah pretty bad in my opinion.
Anyways what else? Well it snowed a bit this morning.. but not much.. not that I mind.. I mean I like snow but I hate shoveling
Right now I'm just taking it easy and listening to Papa Roach and a little while ago I was looking through some holiday catalogs... * sighs* It sucks when you can't always afford the things you want.
But anyways no depression, happy thoughts,lol
Right so .. on another subject,,, I just don't understand the way some parents dress their children.. I mean what are they color blind or just have to taste what so ever in fashion. I feel sorry for the children I really do.
Also speaking of children they are so cute.. I was out to day and there was this cute little boy with red hair and instead of crying and throwing a tantrum in the grocery store, he was grinning and helping his dad out.. I was like awe!
Anyways enough about kids, lately I've been having the strangest dreams... maybe it's the weather, I don't know.
What else? Well I'm having a real craving for cheesecake,lol
alright well I think I've blabbed enough
laters xanganites
And remember RED HEADS have more FUN!

| What can I say Soosh and Queeny inspired me =)
Here are my thoughts on GOF
First off: WEASLEY IS MY KING ! Yes the best HP character in the WORLD....
Ron looked fantastic, he was so adorable when he was mad. And I loved when he wasn't talking to Harry. ( The scene with that younger boy Nigel was quite enjoyable..
Second: What was up with the lack of Draco Moments? Hello like the blonde Slytherin is my second favorite Potter character.
Despite what had been said in previous interviews and stuff... the World Quidditch cup was WAY Too SHORT
Harry/ Dan either way you put it they both kick arse
Hermione looked very pretty, but I really hate the color PINK
I thought the fact that Dobby and Winky were cut out kinda sucked, but at least we got to see more of Seamus, my third fave Hp character. He looked pretty adorable too
Well Moody did A good job
KRUM really impressed me.... the Actor was very convincing, but he was better looking than the Krum in the book.. at least in my opinion anyways...
Let's see Rita was fantastic, but I'm disappointed they cut out the fact that she anamagi .... * sighs* Oh well..
Neville was quite good, but I still prefer the elf,lol
Cho impressed me too,
Mrytle was a scream.. I was rolling on the floor when she was flirting with Harry during the prefects bath scene.
What else? Snape was good as usual... of course I only expect the best from Alan Rickman.
And of course the few seconds of Lucius was pretty kick ass..
All and all I thought it was fantastic... not as fantastic as the book, mind you but fantastic none the less... So I give it 4 stars out of 5
Well that's all for now happy Monday
laters

Disclaimer: I do not own the Potter World or any of the characters in Potter.... nor am I the owner of the basic pumpkin pie recipe ( homecooking.about.com)
Autumn theme( One-shot )
Summary: Pansy Parkinson’s plan is simple: Bake a pie, Get the guy? Does she succeed? Read and Find out!
Pairings: Pansy/Ron , Daphne/ Harry, Draco/Hermione
Enjoy!
*********
* Pansy’s Parkinson’s Pumpkin Pie *
“ Let’s see now I need .....
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1-1/2 cups commercially canned pumpkin
1 cup whole milk
1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk (1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp)
3 extra-large eggs, slightly beaten
1 9-inch unbaked pastry pie crust pie shell
and finally two drops of Madame Fifi’s swoon-softly potion... and Weasley will be all mine. Hmm on second thought better make it 4 drops just in case,”
Pansy Parkinson grinned inwardly as she poured and mixed the ingredients into the bowl.
She had been trying to catch Weasley’s eye for several weeks now, with a few flirtatious smiles and light touches here and there, but he always seemed so distracted and so she came up with another plan.
A plan that would make sure she had his full attention.
The swoon-softly potion was not a love potion necessarily, it was more like a helping potion.
Weasley already liked her, he just needed an extra boost of confidence and she was more than happy to oblige.
Once Pansy’s Pumpkin mixture was nice and smooth, she accio-ed the empty pie shell to her and poured the mixture in. She tossed in a few more teaspoons of ginger and then popped it in the oven.
The Slytherin Queen climbed up on top of the counter to read the latest issue of Teen Witch Weekly, while she waited.
‘ I can not believe Vance Milton is going out with that hag Brauny Hitsburn, she’s like 10 years older then him, ew!’ thought Pansy.
She continued flipping through the pages... and then stopped when she landed on the wizard of the month article.
^^^^^^^^
Last month, world wide top designer Marsten Brontsworth, took home 9 awards for his ‘ Glamorous Goodbye’ summer fashion line. Now as we head into the month of October, Bronstworth gets ready to do it again with a line he calls “Autumn After-hours.”
Turn to page 9 for a sneak peak ......
^^^^^^^^^^^
Pansy’s eyes grew wide with excitement. Marsten Brontsworth was her favorite fashion designer of all time. She believed that the line was made for her.
Why even now, she was dressed in her gray suede skirt from Brontworths’ ‘ Gray Today the Witches Way’ previous fall collection.
She turned to page 9
^^^^^^^^^
Hot teen witch sensation, Maranda Lorki models the latest from Brontsworth new line “ Autumn After-hours”
Yes she looks quite smashing in her wine colored crushed velvet ensemble!
^^^^^^^^^^
The oven timer beeped and Pansy threw down the magazine and jumped of the counter.
She then accio-ed some oven mitts towards her, put them on, opened the oven door and pulled out the pie.
“ Perfect,” she purred.
Yes it was a bit strange to make purring noises to an inanimate object, but Pansy wasn’t quite like other girls.
( A/N LOL)
On with the story......
So now there was only one thing left to do: Put whipping cream on the pie and then serve.
The Slytherin Queen reached for her wand and summoned the whipping cream towards her and finished her master piece.
Pansy put her wand back in her robes and checked off the last item on her list. “ Excellent! Now I just need to find a place to put it until I’m ready to use it.” She looked around the large kitchen, granted there was plenty of space on the counter tops but she wanted to put it somewhere special, a place only she knew about.
‘Perhaps I should put it in with the other pies, that way ....’
Bang!
Pansy lost her train of thought when kitchen doors swung open and one of the house elves appeared.
“ Shit now what!” she cursed silently and then quickly ducked when the house elf made it’s way in her direction.
But luck was on her side today, because the house elf went right past her and made it’s way to the wine cellar.
( A/N it’s Winky)
‘ Phew’ Pansy let out a sigh. She quickly collected all of her things, grabbed the pie and ran.
She only had one more tiny problem: Where would she put the pie, she couldn’t just bring it into the Slytherin common room without any one noticing could she?
And even if it did work, how would she get it to Weasley?
Only time would tell unless... she snuck back into the kitchen and changed the appearance of the pie into something like a spoon perhaps?
‘ That’s it, that’s what I will do,’ Pansy decided.
********
Yes, it seemed like a great idea and it would’ve worked,if she hadn’t run into Dobby the house elf.
“ Young Miss you should not be in here, Dobby could get into a great deal of trouble,”
Pansy wasn’t at all intimidated by the tiny creature, he was nothing but a mere servant in her opinion. However, now was not the place or time to be nasty, if she wanted her plan to work, she might just need some assistance.
“ None of that concerns me elf, however I have a request that I would like to ask of you,”
“ Dobby only follows requests from Harry Potter and you are not Harry Potter, so Dobby can not help you,”
Pansy wasn’t giving up that easy. ‘ Potter eh?’ The wheels in her head slowly began to turn. “ Well what if I told you Harry Potter asked me to do this for him ? Would you agree to help me then?”
Dobby thought for a moment. “ Are you one of Harry Potter’s friends?”
Pansy couldn’t believe she was actually going through with this, “ Well let’s just say I’m a friend of a friend of Harry Potter’s and he would really appreciate it if you did this one little favor for me,”
“ Hmm, well then I suppose Dobby can help,”
Pansy smirked. ‘ That’s more like it.’ She turned her attention back to the elf. “ I need you to take this pie and make sure it goes to Potters’ best friend. Can you do that for me elf?”
“ I am Dobby the House elf, not elf and yes Dobby will do it for you miss,”
Pansy handed the elf the pie and excited the kitchen, but not before she heard the elf mutter something.
“ Young miss not very friendly at all, not like Harry Potter’s usual friends, nope nope,” he muttered.
Pansy rolled her eyes. ‘ Everyone loves St. Potter!’
*********
That night......
Pansy barely touched her dinner plate, she was too excited to eat.
Fellow Slytherin, Daphne Greengrass noticed this,
“ Pansy is something troubling you? You’re very quiet this evening and haven’t touched your food.”
“ No nothing is wrong, I just have a lot on my mind is all,” Pansy replied lazily.
“ Like what ?” Daphne asked curiously.
Pansy Parkinson was not the type to share her deepest darkest secrets or desires with the world but she supposed it wouldn’t hurt to tell Daphne.
Daphne was one of those few people who could actually keep a secret. Not to mention one of the brightest in the Slytherin house. “ Well let’s just say I’m thinking about a certain someone,”
Daphne's’ hazel eyes lit up with excitement. “ A certain someone eh? Very mysterious hmm? Tell me is this certain someone from the rival house?”
Pansy had to hand to her fellow Slytherin, nothing seemed to get past her. “ Perhaps,”
Daphne nodded. “ I thought so and I bet this certain some one also has red hair doesn’t he?”
“ Shh!” Pansy hissed.
Daphne couldn’t help but laugh. “ Calm down Pansy, no one is paying attention to our little conversation. I just thought I should let you know that if you need any help in catching the Weasel, I’m here ,”
Pansy wasn’t quite sure what to make of this.
Although Daphne was smart and could keep a secret, she wasn’t quite sure she could trust her 100 percent.
“ What’s in it for you?”
“ Why I have no idea what you are talking about, surely you don’t think I want something from you do you?” Daphne pushed up her rim wired glasses.
Pansy knew that their was no such thing as a humble Slytherin, she knew that every Slytherin had their price but she wasn’t in the mood for games. “ What ever you’re playing at, it won’t work. I do things my way and my way only and you would do wise to remember that,”
Daphne shook her head. “ My my always so defensive, how do ever expect to catch a Gryffindor when you’re so defensive. You need to show emotion around them, they live for that sort of thing.”
Pansy sneered at her fellow Slytherin, “ What would you know about it?”
Daphne took a sips from her goblet and answered, “ Oh a little of this, a little of that. It helps to know the hero of the house as well,” she added slyly.
Pansy scoffed at this, “ Bullshit! You’re not dancing in Potters’ bed sheets,”
Daphne grinned the kind of grin that only Slytherins can make. The kind of grin that said, ‘ oh yeah!’
Pansy still couldn’t believe it.
Daphne continued to grin, reached into her robes and pulled out a yellow and red tie, “ He gave me this to keep as a souvenir after the little game we played last night,”
Pansy was at a loss for words.
Daphne let out another laugh, “ Don’t worry you’re not the only one, look around, their are quite a few Slytherins that are just itching to get a piece of Gryffindor arse.”
Pansy looked around the Great Hall.
She had no idea what Daphne was talking about, none of her fellow snakes were looking at the lions.
Well almost no one... when the Slytherin Queen turned her direction towards the Heads table, she noticed that Draco was sneering at Granger in his usual way.
Pansy turned back to Daphne. “ That’s quite an imagination you’ve got there Daphne,”
Daphne’s grin did not falter, “ My dear Pansy, you really should pay more attention to detail, go ahead and take another close glance at the heads table,”
Pansy was beginning to grow really annoyed but she turned her head towards the Head table once more.
She felt Daphne move her chair closer to hers and then whisper in her ear, ‘ look under the table,’
“ This is ridiculous, what exactly am I supposed to be looking for?” Pansy hissed.
‘ Watch where Grangers foot goes,’ Daphne whispered again.
“ Why would I want to waste my time watching that filth?” Pansy spat.
‘ Just watch,’ Daphne whispered a third time.
Pansy didn’t know why she was wasting her time with all this nonsense, but maybe if she just looked, Daphne would shut up and let her go back to dreaming about Wealsey.
And so she looked.
“ My eyes must be deceiving me, there’s no way!”
Daphne grinned. “ Oh there’s a way all right,”
Pansy shook her head. “ But Granger is such a prude and... my Draco has better taste then that,”
“ Your Draco, I thought you were over Draco,” said Daphne.
“ That’s besides the point! How long has this? When did they ? and how did you?”
Daphne laughed at the Slytherin Queen. “ My dear Pansy I tried to tell you but you refused to believe and now you have seen for yourself, love is all around” she whispered dreamily.
“ Well I’m so thrilled that you find this all so amusing but I don’t!” Pansy spat sarcastically.
“ Now Pansy must you be so hostile? I am only showing you the obvious,” said Daphne.
“ That doesn’t prove anything, just because Draco and Granger were playing footsie under the table doesn’t mean all of the Slytherins and Gryffindors are head over heels for one another.”
“ Really? Well perhaps you should take a look over at the prefects table,”
Pansy didn’t see any reason to argue with her fellow Slytherin and so she turned her direction towards the prefects table, “ And who am I supposed to be looking for this time?”
“ Why the Weasel’s sister of course, watch closely as she slips her hand under the table, passing a note to none other than Blaise,” said Daphne. “ And what house is he in?”
“ Slytherin.” Pansy answered.
“ Very good, shall I give you another example or w....”
Pansy cut Daphne off. “ I’ll tell you what I want you do, I want you to leave me alone so that I may continue on with my plans,”
Daphne laughed yet again.
All the laughing was driving Pansy mad. “ Enough!” she hissed.
“ Oh not quite yet ,” said Daphne.
“ What now ?” Pansy asked.
“ Weasley is looking in your direction but of course you don’t get to see it, because the moment he catches you looking back, he’ll turn back around and start up a conversation with his lions, acting as though nothing is out of the ordinary,” Daphne explained.
“ What are you a bloody fortune teller now!” Pansy snarled.
“ A fortune teller eh? No I consider fortune telling to be rubbish, however I am rather good with observations. And from my observations and a certain blue bird, I can honestly sit here and tell you that the feeling that you have for the hot tempered wizard is indeed mutual. Now all you have to do is make your move,” said Daphne.
“ Daphne you’re either not as bright as I first thought or very forgetful. If you were paying attention and it is now clear to me that you weren’t, you would know that I have already made my move,”
“ Oh yes your move with the potion in the pie, not a bad idea but how do you know it won’t backfire or some one else won’t wind up eating the pie hmm?”
Pansy narrowed her deep blue eyes. “ How did you find out about the pie?”
“ Oh well that is a very good question and I do, indeed have the answer. Would you like to know what it is?” Daphne teased.
Pansy glared at the other Slytherin girl. “ Daphne I don’t know where this sudden burst of ego came from but I do not appreciate being played with. I am the Queen of this house and I demand to be treated with respect,”
“ I do respect Pansy, all the more reason for me to want to help you out,” Daphne replied.
“ Well then get on with it!” Pansy snapped.
“ First of all a word of advice: Next time you decide to borrow my magic cook book, don’t leave your leather green book mark in it.” said Daphne.
Pansy mentally cursed her self. ‘ Damn I thought I took that out of there,”
“ It is quite all right Pansy, I really don’t mind. I actually found it rather sweet, the idea of seducing... I mean bringing out the Weasel’s true feelings ... with a pie.”
“ Do not mock me Daphne!” Pansy threatened.
Daphne let out another laugh. “ Always with the threats and warnings, you poor thing! Thinking the world is out to get you when all they really want is to get to know you,”
Pansy did not reply.
“ What are you thinking?” Daphne asked.
‘ Trying to figure what curse to use on you,’ thought Pansy inwardly. Instead she gave her fellow Slytherin a fake smile.
Daphne was having a field day.“ Oh I think I know what you’re thinking but before you do curse me, I think you should turn your attention towards the staff table.”
“ What are you babbling about now?” Pansy asked , she was growing more an more irritated by the minute.
“ Tell me, doesn’t your pie pumpkin have tiny little w’s shaped on the edge of the crust?” Daphne asked slyly.
“ How did you ...” Pansy stopped mid-sentence and turned her head towards the staff table. “ That stupid elf! I specifically told it to give the pie to Potter’s friend, not the bloody headmaster!”
“ Calm down Pansy!” said Daphne.
Pansy glared daggers at her fellow Slytherin. “ This is all your fault!” she snarled and went to reach for her wand, only to find it wasn’t there, but in fact in Daphne’s hand.
The other Slytherin girl continued to grin as she twirled the wand in her hand. “ I told you to calm down, once you are calm, I will give you back your wand,”
“ This isn’t funny Greengrass, give me my wand back before I do something we’ll both regret,” Pansy threatened.
Daphne let out a fake yawn and continued to twirl the wand around. “ Just look at yourself, all flustered up over one little pie when you know you can always make more,”
“ Greengrass you do not want to be on my bad side,”
“ Oh sur names now? My my you really are angry aren’t you. This is not some sort of punishment Pansy, I am simply trying to teach you a lesson,”
“ Who the hell do you think you are?” Pansy hissed.
“ One of the few people who will be honest with you, one of the few friends you will ever have. If you would just calm your self for a few minutes, this could go much more smoothly,” said Daphne.
Pansy said nothing.
“ That’s a little better, now let’s talk about why we’re here shall we? We are here to make sure you get what you want. Because you always get what you want isn’t that right my queen?” Daphne teased.
Pansy continued to say nothing.
“ You want the Weasel but you’re not willing to make sacrifices, oh no you rather take the easy route. Now don’t get me wrong, this is a very tempting route but wouldn’t you rather get the Weasel by yourself? With out any helping potion? Don’t you think you’re good enough for him? Don’t you think you could reel him in with your own Slytherin charm? Or is there actually a scared little girl behind that nasty queen exterior you show every day?”
Pansy glared at Daphne. Even if what the other girl was saying was true, there was no way she would ever admit it.
“ You know what I think Pansy?” Daphne continued, “ I think you are scared, scared of letting your guard down. This is the reason why your friendships are so limited. This is reason why you continue to mock others when they show their emotions. But ironically, you have fallen for one of the most emotional people in the entire school and do you know why this?” she paused for effect “ Because opposites attract!”
Pansy wasn’t sure how much more she could take.
“ Are you about done Daphne?”
“ Almost,”
Pansy let out a sigh. “ Get on with it then,”
Daphne grinned. “ Go get him!” She handed Pansy’s wand back to her and left the table Great Hall.
Pansy sat for a moment and tried to make sense of all that had just happened.
Strangely enough, she didn’t feel as angry as she had been just moments ago.
Pansy looked over at the Staff table to see Trelawny and Snape swooning over one another and did something that she hadn’t done in awhile. She laughed.
‘ Well at least it didn’t really go to waste,’ Pansy stood up from the table, ‘ Only one thing left to do, make my move.’
Yes she would finally make her move, but this time it would be all her.
She didn’t know what would happen and part of her didn’t want to know, but she couldn’t just sit around and let him slip away either.
And so she started towards the Gryffindor table.
********
“ Ahem?” Pansy announced her presence.
3 Gryffindors looked up.
“ What’s she doing over here?” Dean asked
“ I ‘spect she’s here to start something no doubt,” Seamus added.
“ Wow look at the size of that rock around her neck!” Colin exclaimed and then snapped a picture.
Pansy fumbled with the large diamond on her necklace.
“ Could I have a word with you Weasley?”
Harry looked up at the sound of Ron’s name and grinned at Pansy, “ Why Parkinson, we were just talking about you weren’t we Ron?” he gave his friend a nudge.
“ Harry, not now!” Ron hissed.
Harry laughed. “ Yes now!” he gave his friend another nudge.
Pansy wasn’t really surprised.
It was just like Weasley to be in denial or avoid situations like this. It was one of things she liked and also couldn’t stand about him. “ All I’m asking is 5 minutes of your time Weasley,”
Ron finally looked up and spoke casually, “ If we must speak, we’ll do it else where, not here,”
Pansy nodded. “ Well then, let’s not waste any more time. Shall we?”
Harry gave Ron another nudge. “ Go on!”
“ Stop it Harry! I’m going I’m going,” Ron rose to his feet and followed Pansy out of the Great Hall.
******
And so the two students walked until they reached a quiet corridor.
And before Pansy could say or do anything, Ron spoke.
“ So Parkinson did you really want to talk or should we just skip all of that and get to the snogging?”
The end!
Story # 2
Thanksgiving Voldemort’s Way
“ Bella!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Bellatrix Lestrange scurried into the Death Eaters family room and approached her master, “ You called my lord?”
“ Bella, come closer,” Voldemort ordered.
As if Bella would object? She rushed over to her masters side and kneeled down,” What can I do for you my lord?”
Voldemort took a few sips from his goblet full of unicorns blood and continued, “ Bella the holidays are just around the corner and I want this Thanksgiving to be perfect. There will be a meeting tonight, send word to Lucius and the others and report back to me in an hour,”
Bella bowed lowly, “ Yes my lord,” she turned to leave but felt herself being pulled back into Voldemorts’ grasp.
“ Bella, do you think my current choice in wizard’s clothing attire is outdated?” Voldemort asked.
Bella could feel her masters cold red eyes piercing into her as he asked the question. It would be foolish of her to lie and tell her lord that he looked smashing and so she told him the truth, “ Well actually my lord, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way but I’ve been meaning to talk to you about your wardrobe. It is how do I put this?... out dated,”
Voldemort scratched his 5 ‘ o clock shadow, “ Hmm very well do you think I should contact the Underground tailor in below Knock Turn Alley?”
Bella nodded,“ Yes my lord, shall I make the arrangements?”
“ No, that will not be necessary, I am perfectly capable of doing it on my own thank you, but I’ll tell you what you can do,” Voldemort leaned over and whispered in Bella’s ear, ‘ I would like some dancers to celebrate my thanksgiving with, I don’t care where you find them. The only demand I have is this: They must all be dressed in muggle attire and have little green bows tied around their necks. Can you do that for me Bella?”
“ Of course my lord, I will start rounding up the dancers as soon as possible,”
Voldemort grinned, “ Excellent, I always knew I could count on you Bella, why sometimes I feel as though you’re the daughter I never had,”
Bella fell speechless. She had always thought very highly of her master, so it was an honor that he would give her such a title, “ Thank you my lord, but you give me too much credit, I am not worthy enough to be your daughter,”
Voldemort took another sip from his goblet and the brushed Bella’s delicate face with a scaly hand, “ Bella, my dear Bella, you really must stop being so modest, now come give kiss daddy goodbye before you leave,”
Bella smiled at her master. She couldn’t ask for anything better. if only she were a few years older-- * sighs* Well the fact of the matter was, she wasn’t and so she placed a chaste kiss on her master’s cheek. It was surprisingly warm.
Voldemort patted Bella’s rear lightly, “ Off you go, make daddy proud,”
Bella climbed out of her master’s lap, straightened out her dress robes and left.
Voldemort watched his loyal servant leave and sighed like an old school boy.‘ If only I were a little younger,’ He was about to take another sip from his goblet when a large bird crashed through ceiling.
A unconscious hippogriff now lay before his feet.
Voldemort grinned an evil grin, “ It’s my lucky day,” He set down his goblet and rang the silver bell that was hanging above him.
DING!
DING!
DING!
At the sound of the bell, 3 house elves and Worm tail scurried into the room.
“ You rang my lord?”
“ Yes master?”
Floffy, Cupid and Dot get that creature out of here and into the wine cellar, Worm tail come here,” Voldemort ordered.
The 3 house elves bowed respectfully and whisked the unconscious hippogriff away.
Worm tail walked towards his master and bowed lowly, “ Yes my Lord?”
“ Worm tail, as you know Thanksgiving is approaching and I want everything to be perfect, do you think you can promise to do that for me?” Voldemort asked.
Worm tail trembled in fear. Voldemort’s temper had become worse over the last few months, the slightest things threw him into an uproar.
“ Well I can certainly try my Lord, what is it that you would like me to do?”
“ I would like you to go stand on your head and wait! No you did that last year, Why don’t you go over to the fireplace and nope, you did that the year before the last. Hmm.... I know what I want you to do, now listen closely: Go down into the cellar and you will see a purple box, in the purple box, you will find a dummy. Do you see where I am going with this Worm tail?” Voldemort asked.
“ No my lord, perhaps you could give me a hint,” Worm tail suggested.
“ A ventriloquist, Worm tail, I want you to take lessons in becoming a ventriloquist. As a young boy, I too was a ventriloquist but that was many years ago and my hands aren’t what they used to be,”
“ But my lord you can’t really ask me to......”
“ Silence!” Voldemort hissed. “ Worm tail do ask that much of you do I?”
“ Well no my lord b..b but.”
“ Silence! Worm tail I am ordering you to go down in the cellar, bring up the box and take Ventriloquist lessons do I make myself clear?” Voldemort hissed.
“ Yes my lord, as you wish,” Worm tail bowed lowly and excused himself.
Voldemort grinned evilly. Yes yes this would be the perfect thanksgiving.
He finished up the last of his unicorns blood and decided that all this excitement and planning was a bit too much for a man his age and so he took a nap.
<<<<<<<<< DREAM<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
“ Tom it’s time to carve the turkey, are you coming?”
“ You silly woman I have no need for such pointless traditions, now go before I turn you into the pig you were meant to be,”
“ Oh really Tom, must you be so dramatic and depressing? This is a time of good cheer and togetherness. Come on now it will be fun,”
“ Woman what don’t you understand? I’M NOT GOING!”
* Sighs* “ Alright have it your way, but I better not catch you sneaking into the kitchens late at night again,”
“ That sounds like a threat, you wouldn’t be threatening me now would you?” He stood to his feet, fire burning in his eyes as he advanced towards the elder woman.
“ Tom now you really must control that ahhhhhhhh!”
Tom laughed and watched as the silly muggle tried to put out - her now flaming arm.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ END DREAM ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Voldemort grinned when he woke up, “ Good time, Good times,”
He glanced at the old grandfather clock that hung up on the wall, “ 5 o’ clock on the dot. Bella should be back in a few minutes,”
Voldemort climbed down from his throne and stretched out his back.
Creak!
“ Ow!” he grunted. He then reached for the telephone.
(A/N I thought he was against all things muggle? And not only that how did he manage to get a connection in the wizarding world? lol I don’t know but it’s my story and I felt like writing it that way)
Voldemort dialed the number and waited for a response on the other end.
“ Rostra speaking, who’s calling?”
“ Rosemerta, my dear how are you ? Everything all right at the pub?”
“ Everything is just fine Tom, why are you calling?”
“ Rosemerta how many times have I told you not to call me Tom, You are to call me Dark Daddy,” Voldemort ordered.
“ Alright Dark Daddy what can I can do for you?”
“ I’m having a party 2 nights from now, you must come,”
“ Oh I don’t know if I can Dark Daddy,”
“ Rosmertaaaaa” Voldemort whined.
“ Oh all right, I see what I can do,”
“ That’s my girl, be sure to wear something red, you know much I like that color,” Voldemort purred.
( LOL who knew he was such a pimp)
“ As you wish Dark Daddy, now I’ve really got to go,”
Click, she hung up the phone.
Voldemort let out a sigh, hung up the phone and dialed another number.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
“ This is the Granger’s Residence, Hermione Granger speaking, may I ask who’s calling?”
“ Happy Thanksgiving!”
“ Um thank you I think, who is this?”
“ Take a guess?”
“ Um no I’m sorry I don’t have time for childish games, but Happy Thanksgiving,”
Click! The Line went dead.
Voldemort laughed.
(LOL bet you didn’t see that one coming)
“ What ever is so funny my Lord?” Bella asked when she returned.
“ Nothing Bella, just thinking about my next move on destroying Potter,” Voldemort replied lazily.
Bella’s eyes widened in delight, “ Really my lord, do tell,”
“ Not now Bella, there will be plenty of time to discuss business later. Right now the only thing I want you to focus on is Thanksgiving,” said Voldemort.
Bella nodded, “ Yes my lord,”
“ Good, now how did the search go?” Voldemort asked.
“ Oh, well you’ll be happy to know that I have rounded it up 6 dancers so far,” said Bella.
Voldemort nodded. “ Ah very good, did you bring them to the guest room?”
“ No my lord, I put them in the old barn with chickens,” Bella explained.
“ Hmm, just as well I suppose, any word from Lucius or Narcissa?” Voldemort asked.
“ No my lord, I’m afraid Lucius and Narcissa have fled the country,” said Bellatrix.
“ What?” Voldemort hissed.
“ They’ve fled the country and taken young Draco with them my lord,” Bella repeated.
“ Damn! Now who’s going to help me get into tip top shape for the Wizard Olympics?” Voldemort muttered.
“ I beg your pardon my lord,”
“ Nothing Bella, nothing. Very well I will deal with Lucius and Narcissa after the holidays, now do you happen to know any musicians?” Voldemort asked.
Bella bit her bottom lip, “ No, I am afraid I do not know any musicians personally but I think Avery does,” she explained.
Voldemort grinned, “ Avery eh? Yes that’ll do. Now Bella before I let you continue your search, it’s time for my daily bath, would you care to do the honors?”
“ Of course my lord, will you be wearing your velvet black bathrobe or silk green one?” Bella asked.
“ I don’t know Bella, which do you think is more flattering?”
“ Well my lord, you look smashing in both colors, but I’ve always had a soft spot for silk myself,” Bella answered.
“ Then green it shall be. Run along Bella, I’ll be there shortly,” said Voldemort.
Bella bowed, “ Yes my lord,” and left.
Ding Ding! Ding!
3 house elves rushed into the room , “ Yes master?”
“ Send for Avery, tell him to bring Nott, Crabbe and Goyle with him,” said Voldemort.
The three house elves bowed, nodded and left the room.
******
Later that evening.........
Voldemort stepped out of his bathtub and threw on his robes and ducky slippers. ( LOL I know it’s quite ridiculous)
He walked down the stairs and out into the main hall, “ Bella!” he called.
Bella rushed into the main hall, “ Yes my lord?”
“ Where are Avery and the others?” Voldemort asked.
“ They are in the drawing room my lord,” Bella answered
“ Excellent, well go ahead, ladies first you know,” said Voldemort.
Bella giggled like a school girl. Yes it was wrong and very immature but she couldn’t help herself, “ As you wish my lord,”
******
In the drawing room........
“ Gentleman I have called you all here for a very important reason,” Voldemort started.
“ Yes, Bella told us my lord, would you like to hear a sample piece from our latest s....”
“ Silence Avery! Do not interrupt me again!” Voldemort hissed violently.
Avery bowed lowly, “ Forgive me my lord, it will not happen again,”
Voldemort laughed. He loved how his servants trembled in fear. Normally he would hit Avery with a few curses but he was in no mood for madness today, “ I will let it slide this once, but don’t make a habit of it,”
Avery nodded.
Voldemort continued, “ Gentleman this is going to be the best Thanksgiving ever, there will be music, dancers, a delicious hyppogriff as the main course and much much more. Now then tell me about this song you have written,”
Goyle stepped forward, bowed and spoke, “ It is called O’ Great Darkness, “ he summoned a violin towards him and began to play a tune.
Avery, Nott and Crabbe began to sing
/Oh Great Darkness/
/ Oh Great Darkness/
/ Oh Great Darkness/
/Oh Great Darkness in Slytherin’s lair/
/ How can we every thank you for this fine job /
/ Before you took us under your wing, we were nothing but common slobs/
Voldemort laughed
The music continued.........
/ We’ll never be as grand as you are /
/ Never have strength that you possess/
/ We’ll never be as grand as you are /
( Turns attention to Bella )
/ And might add that’s quite the dress / ( spoken)
Voldemort claps along as the song continues
/ Oh Great Darkness/
/ Oh Great Darkness/
/ Oh Great Darkness/
/ Oh Great Darkness in Slytherin’s lair/
/ How can we make you more cheerful ?/
/ Oh Great Darkness in Slytherin’s lair /
/ Would you a like a coconut?/
“ A coconut? A coconut? I hate coconuts!” Voldemort hissed.
Music stops.
“ See I told you he wouldn’t like the song,” Goyle growled
“ He liked the song just fine until you threw in that stupid coconut solo,” Avery retorted.
“ Enough! I expect a rewrite and a finished product by Thursday night,” Voldemort ordered.
The 4 death eaters bowed, “ Yes my lord, “ and left the room.
Voldemort sat down by the grand piano.
Bella quickly joined him, “ I’m sorry about all of that my lord,”
Voldemort smirked at Bella, “ It is not you fault my dear, come and join me for another song,”
Bella nodded, “ Which song my lord?”
“ How about oh I don’t know, you choose Bella,” said Voldemort
“ Um all right how about “ Everybody Knows Your Name?”
“ Excellent idea Bella,” said Voldemort. He took of his robe and started plunking the notes on the keyboard
Bella started to sing........
Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Music continues
Bella and Voldemort sing together
Sometimes you want to go, where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see, our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows your name.
You wanna go where people know, people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows your name.
You want to go where people know, people are all the same;
You want to go where everybody knows your name.
(A/N By: Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo ~ their lyrics and song not mine)
“ Ah that was wonderful, how about another one Bella?”
“ I’d be honored my lord, “
“ Splendid, let’s sing good morning sunshine,” said Voldemort.
“ Are you sure my lord?”
“ Bella you know better than to question me.. now sing,”
Music starts.........
(Aqua - Good Morning Sunshine lyrics)
( Bella)
When the sun is up,
on a clear blue sky,
When the sky is grey,
and the rain comes down,
Feel the heat, come out of cold,
and your arm is touching me
Good morning sunshine,
you're my only light
lying with me by my side,
you keep me warm all day
Just stay with me
Good morning sunshine,
be with me all day
Just don't let the rain pass you by
When it's cloudy and windy
and the snowflakes arrive,
you somehow just make me,
make me feel I'm alive
When you leave my field
then you light the stars
Fading away in horizon
there's a million streets
leading off the night,
waiting for sun to be risen
Feel the heat, come out of cold,
and your arm is touching me
Good morning sunshine,
you're my only light,
lying with me by my side,
you keep me warm all day
Just stay with me
Good morning sunshine,
be with me all day
Just don't let the rain pass you by
When it's cloudy and windy
and the snowflakes arrive,
you somehow just make me,
make me feel I'm alive
When it is cloudy and windy,
please turn your face at me
( Voldemort joins in )
Good morning sunshine,
you're my only light,
lying with me by my side,
you keep me warm all day
Just stay with me
Good morning sunshine,
be with me all day,
Just don't let the rain pass you by,
when it is cloudy and windy
and the snowflakes arrive,
you somehow just make me,
make me feel I'm alive
make me feel I'm alive...
Music ends
(LOL okay enough with the pop tunes I promise. For the record this song kicks ass, download it you don’t already own it)
On with the story......
“ Well Bella this has been quite an exciting day, but I must retire for the night,” Voldemort grabbed his robe and moved away from the piano, “ I trust you will keep the mansion in order while I am resting,”
Bella nodded, “ Of course my lord and I will also call the hairdresser and make an appointment for you,”
Voldemort shook his head in confusion “ Hair dresser?”
“ Yes my lord, surely you’ll want a new hairstyle to go with your new wardrobe right?”
“ Ah yes! You are quite right my dear, make the arrangements,” said Voldemort.
“ As you wish, good night my lord,” Bella excused herself and left the room.
Voldemort sighed, “ Tomorrow is a new day!” and with that he left the drawing room, climbed the staircase and retired for the night.
*******
The next day.........
“ Rise and shine my lord, you have a big day ahead of you,” Bella announced when she entered the master bedroom.
Voldemort was hugging his pillow tightly to him. He didn’t want to get up, “ Forget about what I said yesterday Bella, I’m tiered and you’re free to go,” he said.
Bella shook her head. Sometimes her master acted like a spoiled rotten brat, “ Now my lord don’t be that way, you want to have the perfect thanksgiving don’t you?”
Voldemort grumbled.
Bella pulled the bed sheets off of him, “ Upsie Daisy!” she ordered softly.
( Who knew this death eater was so motherly-like,lol)
Voldemort buried his head under the pillow, “ I don’t want to!” he hissed.
“ My lord now this is becoming a bit ridiculous, just throw on your robes and greet the morning sunshine,” said Bella.
“ I hate sunshine,” spat Voldemort. “ And where’s my breakfast?”
“ You’re breakfast? You mean those servants haven’t brought you your breakfast yet?” Bella shook her head in disappointment, “ Oh my lord, how terrible, no wonder you’re so grumpy this morning. Wait here I shall return shortly,” and with that she left the room.
Voldemort laughed. He loved it when Bella fussed over him as though he were a child. The truth was, the house elves had brought him his breakfast an hour ago but Bella didn’t have to know that. He enjoyed teasing his favorite female death eater.
He climbed out of the bed and made his way to the bathroom. He was expected to meet, Minx, the hairdresser in an hour and then he would pick up his new robes from Tartar.
****
In the bathroom......
Voldemort looked at his half scaly self in the mirror. * Sighs* “ Lots of work to be done, lot’s of work to be done,” He rolled up the sleeves on his night robe and reached for the facial cleanser and set to work.
******
Meanwhile in the kitchen......
Bella was screaming and throwing pots and pans at the three house elves.
“ How dare you forget to serve you master this morning! You’re luck he is in a good mood, because if he wasn’t --- that would be the end of you,”
“ Please lady Bella, we do not what we did wrong, the master seemed satisfied when we brought him his breakfast this morning but maybe he was just saying that,” said Dot, the house elf
Bella responded by throwing another pot at the pathetic creature, “ How dare you call my lord, you filthy ungrateful maggots!” she screeched.
“ Please lady Bella, tell us what you want us to do, your wish is our command,” Cupid spoke up.
Bella glared at the 3 house elves, “ Set your selves on fire!” she roared right before she stormed out of the kitchen.
********
Up stairs....
Voldemort was having a field day with the morning face cream. He was throwing it on the walls, the floor, the ceiling, everywhere.
He heard footsteps approaching and immediately cleaned every thing up with a simple snap of his fingers.
Knock Knock!
“ Who is it? Wait never mind I know who it is, enter Severus and make it brief,” Voldemort ordered.
Snape opened the door and stepped inside, “ I have news about the Order’s whereabouts my lord,”
“ Is that all?” Voldemort asked in a bored tone.
Snape looked at Voldemort curiously, “ Are you feeling all right my lord, surely you want to hear about the Order don’t you?”
Voldemort grabbed the tweezers and plucked out a few lose nose hairs before he replied, “ No not really Severus. Perhaps you should go back, wouldn’t want old Dumbledore to worry now would we?”
Snape was very confused but he knew better than to question Voldemort. “ Very well, good day my lord,”
“ Yes yes good day, now go I don’t want to be late for my day of glamor,” said Voldemort.
Snape shook his head and left the door.
( Author’s Note: Obviously I don’t care what happened in HBP, this is in no way related to it,)
On with the story......
There was another knock on the door.
“ Yesssssss?” Voldemort hissed.
He could hear Worm tail breathing heavily on the outside of the door. He let out a laugh, “ Ah Worm tail, enter!” he ordered.
Worm tail slowly turned the knob and pushed open the door. He was carrying a purple box in his hands, “ I am afraid I have some bad news my lord, “ he started.
Bad news was the last thing Voldemort wanted to hear, “ Out with it!” he hissed.
“ Well you see I.. went down to the c..c.. cellar and I.. I .. I found the box but,”
“ Get on with it Worm tail!” Voldemort hissed again.
Why oh why did he have to be worshiped by idiots?
“ I doll was gone my lord, the only thing that was in the box was this little green vest,” said Worm tail.
Voldemort moved away from the sink and sat down on the toilet, “ My perfect Thanksgiving is ruined,” he cried.
(Okay now I know this is getting ridiculous, but work with me,lol)
******
Bella climbed the stairs of the old mansion and made her way towards her masters bedroom until she heard crying coming from his bathroom.
She quickly picked up her pace and ran into the bathroom, “ My lord what happened?” she asked in concern.
Voldemort looked up at his loyal servant. “ Bella, it’s gone!” he cried.
“ Gone? What is gone my lord?” Bella asked.
Voldemort buried his face in Bella’s long dress robes and sobbed.
“ My Lord please calm down, we’ll find away,” said Worm tail.
Bella hadn’t even realized there was another person in the bathroom, she turned and glared daggers at Worm tail. “ You did this! You stupid excuse for a wizard! You you get out of here!” she hissed violently.
“ Now wait just a minute there Bellatrix, I have just as much right to be here as you do,” Worm tail defended himself weakly.
Bella didn’t have the time for pointless fools like worm tail, she reached for her wand and shouted, “ Crucio!”
Worm tail let out a shrill cry and fell to the ground, shaking uncontrollably.
Bella sneered at him and kicked him out with her boot, “ You should know better than to pick a fight with me,” she yelled and the slammed the door.
“ My lord is there anything I can do?”
Voldemort continued to sob, “ It’s ruined! Ruined all my plans for the perfect Thanksgiving ruined because Daniel is gone,”
“ My lord who is Daniel?” Bella asked.
“ He was my dummy, the only one who understood me,” Voldemort explained in between sobs.
Bella still didn’t understand until she spotted a purple box sitting in the corner, “ Ventriloquist, hmm,”
“ Bella ?”
“ Yes my lord?”
“ Cancel all my appointments for today, I am in no condition to go anywhere,” said Voldemort.
Bella sighed, “ As you wish my lord, “ she turned to leave.
“ Bella?”
“ Yes my lord,”
“ I want a butter beer and blanky,” said Voldemort. Shortly after he said this, he started suck on his thumb and rock back and fourth on the toilet seat.
“ Yes my lord,” Bella bowed and excused herself, “ I will be back soon,”
Voldemort continued to sit and suck on his thumb.
******
Bella was not one to give up. She was determined to give her master the perfect Thanksgiving, even if it took her all day. She set off into the next room for Voldemort’s favorite duck blanket and found Avery sitting in the corner on the bed.
“ Avery what are doing in here? “ she hissed.
“ I’m getting inspiration for my new song lyrics, not that it is any of your business,” Avery replied.
Bella didn’t have time to deal with her fellow death eater at the moment, “ Very well, but don’t touch anything or the dark lord will surely have your head,”
“ Don’t worry about it Bella, everything will be fine,” Avery said.
Bella nodded and left the room. Her next step was getting her master his butter beer. She went down to the kitchen and proceeded to do just that.
******
Back in the bathroom....
Voldemort had finally moved off the toilet and on to the floor. He crawled over to the purple box that still lay in the corner and picked it up.
As he held the box, he thought back to the time that he had first received the dummy.
^^^^^^^^^ FLASHBACK*******************************
“ What’s in your hand there Jamie,”
“ Oh this is my buddy Wicky, he’s a dummy see,” The boy held up the doll and put his hand in the back, moving the mouth, “ Hi Casey, would you be my friend,”
Tom Riddle watched as the two muggle children played with the doll in the corner. ‘ Bunch of gits’ he thought. But part of him wanted the doll. Something about the dolls big purple eyes spoke to. It called to him. He had to have it.
But Tom wasn’t one to share. He just took what he wanted when he wanted.
He walked over to the two muggles and snatched the doll right out of the boys hand.
“ Hey Tom, give that back!” Jamie spat.
Tom laughed an evil laugh and muttered a curse.
The two muggles instantly burst into the flames.
Tom now held the doll in his hands, “ I think I’ll call you Daniel,”
********* END FLASHBACK**********************
Back to present day...........
The flashback had brought a sick twisted smile to Voldemort’s face. He threw the box to the side and decided that he would go to the hairdresser after all.
*********
Meanwhile Bella was running up and down the streets of Diagon Alley, looking for a replacement dummy.
She was just about to give up, when she spotted one in the window of an old antique shop. “ Brilliant,” and with she turned the knob open and stepped inside.
***********
Voldemort raced down the stairs and made his way to the fireplace.
“ My lord where are you going?” Worm tail asked. He was carrying a large platter of vegetables and a bottle of butter beer.
“ Out!” Voldemort roared and then disappeared into the green flames.
**********
~ Antique Shop ~
Bella walked around the shop.
She noted that there were both wizard and muggle artifacts behind the glass and in the window. ‘ Interesting,’
An old wizard with a long nose, pointed chin, brown eyes and heavy brows appeared from the back room. He greeted Bella, “ Good day miss, looking for anything special?” his voice was raspy but he was friendly nonetheless.
Bella hated overly cheery people. But she didn’t feel like taking any innocent lives today and so she replied in kind, “ Actually I am looking for a dummy that Ventriloquists use, I saw you had one in the window but he was a bit to cheery for my taste. Perhaps you have a doll that isn’t so cheerful?”
“ Ah yes miss, I have just the doll. Arrived just last month actually, all the way from China,” said the shop keeper.
“ Hmm, may I see it it?”
*******
Meanwhile Voldemort was sitting in the Underground Salon at Knock Turn Alley. He was debating between the mummy bowl cut and the Titan shag but he just couldn’t figure out which one he liked better.
“ Have you decided sir?”
“ No I have not, I was hoping you could help me,” said Voldemort.
“ Well I can certainly try sir, now what kind of look are you trying to go for? laid back, casual, classy or perhaps you want something with more of an edge? Like a mini mohawk? Very popular style for a man your age,”
Voldemort grinned at the young fairy, “ If I didn’t know better, I’d say you were flirting with me Minx,”
Minx giggled, “ I guess you’ve caught me, * sighs* I can not help myself, I know I shouldn’t be attracted to older males- or even wizards for that matter but there’s just something about you,”
This gave Voldemort an idea, “ I’ll tell you what Minx, you can hit on me all you want if you promise to go to my Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow,”
“ Oh I really wish I could sir, but my sister is coming into town,” said Minx.
Voldemort frowned. “ Never mind then, so go ahead and give me the royal treatment.”
The pink haired fairy with wire-rimmed glasses giggled, “ Let’s for go something unique, I’ll give you the Titan shag around the ears and on the and on the bottom and for the top, we’ll give you a combination of the Veela tips and the Merman highlights,”
Voldemort didn’t know much about hairstyles but it sounded good to him.
“ Work your magic, my dear,”
*******
Back at the Antique Shop......
“ No I’m sorry but his face is still too cheery, don’t you have anything else?” Bella asked.
The store keeper had shown her 10 dummies and she hadn’t been pleased with any of them.
“ Well miss, I have two more dolls, let’s see what you think of them,” He excused himself and disappeared into the back once again.
Bella let out a sigh and glanced out the window.
She saw three teen-witches making their way towards the shop. One had strawberry blond hair and a fox like face, the second had long red hair and freckles and the third had dirty blonde hair and big blue eyes.
Bella smirked, “ Perfect!”
********
An hour later ........
Minx handed Voldemort a small mirror, “ What do you think sir,”
Voldemort looked into the mirror. The fairy really knew what she was doing, “ I look 20 years younger,”
Minx grinned, “ Happy to be of service sir,”
Voldemort handed the fairy some galleons, and left.
He set off down the street for the tailor.
********
Back in the Antique Shop!
“ This is the last one miss, I hope it is to your liking,” The store keeper held up a doll who was wearing a sneer on it’s face. It had big glowing red eyes and was dressed like a lawyer.
It wasn’t perfect but it would have to do, “ How much?” Bella asked.
“ 225,”
Bella threw the galleons on the counter, grabbed the doll and left.
She then set of down the street in search of the three younger witches.
*******
Later that evening........
Voldemort reentered the mansion.
“ My lord you’re back, how was your trip?” Worm tail asked.
“ Shut up Worm tail! Go make yourself useful and fetch my unicorn’s blood goblet.
Worm tail bowed and practically tripped over the rug s she rushed out of the
room.
“ Idiot!” Voldemort muttered in disgust. He walked over to the closet and put away his cloak.
******
“ Wait so let me get this straight, you’re father is turning 60 and you’re throwing him a surprise party on the same day as Thanksgiving,” said Ginny Wealsey.
“ That’s right and I think he would like it very much if I hired some dancers, I’ve already booked 6 but I need 3 more,” Bella explained.
Of course she had worn a different disguise. ( A short red bob, light green eyes, a skinny nose and a highly extended cheek bones.
“ We’ll we do need the money,” said Luna Love good.
( Author’s Note: Let’s just say their not their usual selves... their under some sort of spell or something, I know not very descriptive but too bad,lol)
Bella smiled, “ So you’ll do it then?”
“ Well I suppose, where do you live?” Lisa Turpin then asked.
About 50 miles or so from here, just meet me at the green bridge and I will take you from there,” said Bella.
The three girls nodded, “ We’ll be there,”
“ Oh thank you, thank you, he’ll be so happy. Happy Thanksgiving girls, see you tomorrow,” Bella said cheerily.
The 3 girls waved goodbye and went on their way.
Bella heard them talking amongst themselves before they disappeared.
“ Are you sure you mum won’t give us hell for this Ginny?”
“ I don’t care what my mum thinks, I’m 17 years old, I’ll do what I want,”
“ Well all right but remember not a word of this to anyone,”
“ Right,”
Bella gave herself a mental congratulations. She put on quite the performance if she did say so herself. Glancing at her wizard’s watch, she decided that it was time to return home.
********
The next day......
Thanksgiving Day had finally come.
Voldemort decided that he would make the most of it, even though he no longer had the dummy, Daniel.
He ran his gelled fingers through his hair and put on his brand new stylish hunter green robes. He the made his way down the stairs and into the family room.
Bella was sitting in an armchair by the fireplace. Avery, Nott, Crabbe and Goyle were on the couch chatting amongst themselves.
“ Ahem!” Voldemort announced his arrivals.
All 5 death eaters jumped up, ran over to their master and bowed lowly.
“ Good morning my lord,” they chorused.
“ Rise,” said Voldemort.
The death eaters rose to their feet and waited for Voldemort to speak again.
“ It is Thanksgiving, a very special day. I trust all of you have done what I have asked of you,”
“ Yes my lord,” the death eaters chorused again.
“ Splendid, Avery I trust you have the new lyrics?”
“ Yes, my lord, would you like to hear them?”
“ No not right now, but later.” Voldemort turned his attention to Bella, “ Bella are the dancers ready?”
“ Ready and waiting my lord,” Bella answered.
“ Excellent,” Voldemort. now turned and addressed all of his servants. “ Follow me to the garden!”
The death eaters bowed and did as their master told them.
*******
Garden.......
“ Nott look around, tell me what do you see?” Voldemort asked.
“ Pumpkins,” Nott answered.
Voldemort nodded. “ Yes pumpkins, now can any one guess why there are pumpkins out here?”
“ For decoration,” said Goyle.
“ No, not for decoration, Bella my dear, do you know why these pumpkins are out here?” Voldemort asked.
“ I assume you want us to carve these pumpkins, my lord,” said Bella.
Voldemort laughed. “ Carve pumpkins? My dear Bella where on earth did you ever come up with such an idea? No no these pumpkins are not for carving, their for eating,”
“ Eating my lord?”
“ Yes it is Thanksgiving and so I have decided that the 5 of you will participate in an eating contest,”
Bella scorched up her nose,” My lord, surely you must be joking,”
“ No Bella I am not joking.” said Voldemort “ He addressed all of his death eaters once more, “ Grab forks or use your nails, which ever you prefer, so long as you do not use your wands and eat the pumpkins,” Voldemort ordered.
The death eaters bowed and the contest began......
Voldemort accioed one of the larger pumpkins towards him and sat on it.
He watched his servants struggle. None of the pumpkins broke open, no matter how hard they tried.
“ Stop!” Voldemort hissed.
The death eaters immediately stopped and faced their master.
Voldemort grinned. “ You fools, surely you didn’t really believe me did you?”
The death eaters bowed their heads lowly and nodded.
Voldemort laughed, “ Let’s try something else instead. Bella you come over here by me, Nott, Avery you work together, Crabbe and Goyle you work together. Maybe 1 person can’t tear a pumpkin open by themselves but perhaps 2 people can. Now when I say go, go! One, Two, Three Go!”
And so it began...
This time working in teams of two.
The Death eaters, tore and scratched at the pumpkins, but barely even pierced the skin.
Voldemort knew that the whole idea was pretty pointless but he was enjoying himself.
And that was all that mattered.
After some 20 minutes or so.....
“ Stop!” Voldemort hissed again.
Just like before, the death eaters stopped on their masters command.
“ Here’s what we’re going to do: I am going to use my wand less magic and open the pumpkins, once the pumpkins are open, I will expect all of you to bake me the best pumpkin pie in the whole wizarding world,” said Voldemort.
The death eaters looked at the master strangely but didn’t object.
Voldemort waved his hands to the sky and back down to the ground.
BOOM!
It went of like a bomb.
The pumpkins burst open and all over the yard.
Voldemort laughed. He suddenly had a better idea. “ Stop! Do not do anything. I’ve changed my mind. Everyone quick go run into the house, throw on your boots, rain coats and helmets and meet me back out here in five minutes.”
“ But my lord what about the music, dancing and the feast,” Avery objected.
“ Avery it is only 11 o’ clock in the morning, we have plenty of time. Now go!” Voldemort ordered.
4 of death eaters bowed and ran inside.
Bella how ever stayed behind for a few minutes, “ My lord, make I speak with you?” she asked.
“ Of course Bella, come sit on my lap,” said Voldemort.
And so she did.
“ What is on your mind my dear?”
“ Oh nothing my lord, it’s just I have something for you,” She handed him a box and continued, “ I know nothing can replace your original one, but I hope it is to your liking,” said Bella.
Voldemort lifted the lid on the box and pulled out the dummy. He was quiet for a few minutes.
“ Thank you Bella,” he kissed her on the cheek. “ Now quick run into the house and get changed.”
Bella nodded, bowed and disappeared into the house.
Voldemort studied the doll. True it was no Daniel but it was perfect, I’ll call you Alan,” he decided.
*******
5 minutes later the death eaters returned, rain coats, helmets and all.
“ Ah you have returned, good. Now then spread out and when I count to ten I want you to go run and hide and then I will come find you,”
The death eaters bowed, “ Yes, my lord,”
Voldemort set down the doll and began counting, “ One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, go!”
And so the death eaters ran and hid.
Voldemort conjured up a large bucket and collected some of the pumpkin pieces, “ Let the pumpkin war begin!”
*******
( A/N I am not going to show the actual pumpkin war, I’ll let you use your imaginations)
On with the story...
2 hours later.......
Avery, Nott, Crabbe, Goyle and Bella were all covered in pumpkin from head to toe. They were grateful that their master had told them to put on rain coats before hand.
“ You have one hour to clean up and then I expect you to meet me in the family room, “ Voldemort laughed triumphantly, “ Oh that was fun,” he picked up his dummy and made his way back into the house.
*******
That afternoon......
“ I think we took a wrong turn Ginny,”
“ No this is the way, she there’s the green bridge,”
“ Oh yeah and there’s that lady,”
Bella waved the three young witches over.
*****
“ Sorry if we’re a bit late but we lost track of time,” said Lisa.
“ That’s quite all right, follow me I will take you to the house and then you will get dressed,” said Bella.
“ Dressed?” Luna questioned.
“ Yes it is my father’s birthday after all and he’s very fond of green muggle clothing, even if he’s a wizard,”
The three girls giggled. Especially Ginny, “ He’d get along just fine with my dad,”
Bella, “ Well come on then, let’s be on our way!”
*******
Meanwhile back at the mansion......
Voldemort was having tea with Madame Rosmerta.
“ Would you care for one lump or two dear?”
“ Two, thank you,”
Voldemort put in two lumps of sugar and handed Rosmerta her tea, “ Here you are my dear,”
“ Thank you Tom,”
Voldemort hissed, “ Don’t call me that!”
“ I’m sorry, it won’t happen again.” Rosemerta apologized and then changed the subject, “ So tell me Dark Daddy is this thanksgiving all you hoped it would be?”
“ Well for the most part yes, but I would’ve really preferred it if you had worn red,” said Voldemort.
Rosmerta laughed, “ Oh Dark Daddy you are so bad!”
Ding Dong!
“ Who could that be?”
Voldemort took a few sips from his tea cup, “ Visitors no doubt,”
******
“ How much further away is it from here?” Ginny asked.
“ Not much further,” Bella assured her.
In fact they were only 5 more minutes away.
Ginny sighed.
*********
“ Dinner is served my lord,” Cupid announced.
Voldemort clapped his hands together, “ To the Dining Hall!” he ordered.
Rosmerta, the death eaters and Worm tail followed Voldemort into the dining hall.
******
Dining hall........
“ This bird looks delicious,” said Rosemerta.
“ It is not just a bird my dear, it’s a very special and rare creature, “ Voldemort explained. He then turned to Nott, “ Care to do the honors?”
Nott nodded, “ Yes, my lord,”
And so the carving of the turkey -- I mean hypogriff began.
It was delicious ... Everyone seemed content.
Bella took a few bites and then excused herself.
Voldemort watched Bella leave and decided that it was time for some good holiday entertainment.
“ Avery, Nott, Crabbe, Goyle are you ready to perform?”
The 4 death eaters nodded, wiped the food off their chins and called for their instruments.
Voldemort pushed the table to the end of the room with a few flicks of the wand and the music started.
/Oh great darkness/
/Oh great darkness/
/Oh great darkness/
/ Oh great darkness in Slytherin’s lair/
/How can we ever thank you for this job/
/ Before you took us under your wing, we we’re nothing but common slobs/
/ We’ll never be as grand as you are/
/ never have the strength that you possess/
/ We’ll never be as grand as you are/
/ And might I add that’s quite the dress/
Guitar solo.......
Voldemort offers his hand to Rosemerta, “ Let’s dance!”
Rosemerta gladly accepts.
The music continues
/ Oh great darkness/
/ Oh great darkness/
/ Oh great darkness/
/ Oh great darkness in Slytherin’s lair/
/How can we make your more cheerful?/
/ Pardon me for getting tear ful/ ( spoken)
/Would you like a pair of shoes?/
/Or maybe to be on the front page of the dead line news?/
/Perhaps you’d like a rubber goose/
/ Or a chocolate moose?/
/Oh great darkness/
/ Oh great darkness/
/ Thank you for all that you do/
/ We hope you have enjoyed our song/
/ There’s no where else we’d rather belong/
End song
“ Ta da!”
* Claps fill the room*
“ Wonderful! Wonderful, Bella bring out the dancers!” Voldemort ordered.
Avery started playing another tune.
And so the dancers came out, all dressed in green emerald dresses, heels and were wearing gold ribbons around their neck like he had requested.
He noted that their eyes were covered by masks, but didn’t think much of it.
The dancers continued their little number and Voldemort never felt happier.
His favorite being the redhead.
Bella smiled as she watched her master’s reaction in the corner.
Everything had come together.
********
Later that night.......
Voldemort kissed Rosmerta good night and sent the dancers on their way.
Avery, Nott, Worm tail, Crabbe and Goyle had taken off and went to a pub.
So it was just Bella and Voldemort.
He turned to his favorite death eater, “ Thank you for making all this possible my dear,”
Bella winked, “ Any time daddy!”

| In a recent interview Emma Watson ( aka. that actress that portrays the role of Hermione Granger ) said that the British are "more reserved" than Americans.
I for one wasn't quite sure what to make of this statement.
True we Americans aren't exactly angels or anything but.. we're not that wild either.
Then again she did admit that, she didn't know many Americans..
What on earth am I babbling on about ? You might ask yourselves when you read this?
Well I'll put this way.... I don't think the Brits are as innoncent as they claim *smirks*
Then again I don't know too many Brits...
Long live AMERICANS!
Well that's all for now, what do you think readers?
