This is brilliant! And of course it happened just so. Love capslock!Voldy.

not unlike being trapped inside a turban for months on end, listening to first-years massacre the summoning charm I've never thought about that, actually, but it's definitely a fate worse than death.

And quarter-troll Mundungus. That explains a lot.

Great story!

It really does, doesn't it? Thanks so much for reading (and laughing) TRS. I'm relieved my off-taste humor didn't offend. M.

LOL, this was perfect! It's great to see Voldy trying to learn from his mistakes. :-D

Funny! The image of bored Death Eaters is hilarious.

As soon as Voldemort realized Narcissa was more concered about the house than the War it was all over. *smile* Thanks for reading, S! M.

This was brilliant - beyond brilliant, maybe. Really, really brilliant! Such an awesome combination of dark humor and Voldie!angst.

I've always wondered if Voldie felt this way at times. After all, as you pointed out later, Imperiused followers are no good, but his followers were practically that way, anyway. The death of the fervor, the ennui, the lackluster performances, it's all Voldie's fault really, but I love how you showed him recognizing it.

And this bit was especially awesome: They ought to be ASHAMED of every moment they sit before front of you, reporting on their failures!

Instead, Severus is fighting back a yawn. Narcissa has her wand out beneath her own dining room table, flicking as she surreptitiously scourgifies the dirty boots of her assembled guests. Amycus is picking at a lackluster baked ziti, debating how to kill the house-elf who made it. I could totally see all of them doing that.

The whole Death Eater thing is a bit of a disaster, isn't it? They seem to have soft spot for the occasional moment of mayhem but not much else to recommend them as minions. No wonder the Dark Lord gets so frustrated!

Thanks for reading, B. M.
