In the Eyes


Summery: Ever wonder why Dumbes eyes always seem to shine and glitter! Rita Seeker, number one report for the Daily Prophet, sure would like to know! Killer Dumbledore, Dead Rita!

Ever wonder how Dumbledore gets his eyes to twinkle so? I know I sure have! That's why I'm here today, sitting in one of Dumbledore's exceptionally comfy chairs, while questioning his deceitful descriptions on how to…use this 'spell'.

"So Dumbledore-"

"Ah, call me Albus." I smiled.

"So Albus," I kept my smile, only making it brighter, "explain exactly what spell it is, the incantation, and how to use it." I am a reporter who works for the Daily Prophet and I've found this mystery…most interesting.

Dumbledore smiled his kind smile and brought his wand out, quicker than my visual observation could catch. I now see why we all call him a great wizard.

"Well first, I point my wand at my eye and try not to poke my eye out," he said with a chuckle while demonstrating. I laughed at his joke; it was fairly funny after all. "Then I say the incantation." He continued, but then he hesitated, looking suddenly nervous.

"Go on!" I encouraged, the excitement clear in my voice. I could tell that we, that I, was about to have a major break though with this if it went public! I can see the headlines now:

All by me, Rita Seeker. I keep my giggle inside and turn back to the conversation at hand.

Sobering up, Dumbledore smiled and regained his posture. I smiled back, still thinking of all the wonderful attention I'd be getting soon, but then his smile changed. A grin was now in place on his old and wrinkled face which then turned into a smirk, and twisted into a repulsive smile that held no warmth; only death!

I fidgeted nervously with my quick quotes quill. I don't understand why, but suddenly I feel a great need to run and hide. And maybe I should of!

"Mrs. Seeker." Dumbledore say's, his voice as smooth as ice. An involuntary shiver went up my spine.

"Yes?" I say, eyes cast downward. I look up, disturbed by his silence, and my eyes went wide. The hand that held his wand was now facing me, tip at my forehead, instead of him. I leaped to my feet and screamed in rage as he said words that, until now, had been almost meaningless to me. I had never though he would say such words…

"Avada Kedavra!"

As my world turned black, pain flying through my veins like daggers, and I felt myself fall, I realized that he had not quite finished saying what he had to say. No matter, he said it now…the last words I would ever hear…

"Pay back, Mrs. Seeker, payback…"

And then…I DIED!

"…Twinkle, twinkle, little eyes, how I wonder how you're bright. Up right there on Dumbes face, taunting me like Christmas day. Twinkle, twinkle, little eyes how I wonder, so I die…"
