Summary: Here's a quick thought: What if the Death Eaters went interactive?

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter – even though I wish I did, with the royalties I got from it, I could quit my paper round :-P

Well, here it is, my first ever fanfic. The e-mail idea was inspired by a book called 'The Guy Next Door' by Meg Cabot, the layout style worked rather well there, so I'm going to give it a go. Please R&R, and all that.

I'm going to start with a tester, just to see how things go. Just a short one this time, but the next ones will be longer, promise.

Re: It did it again

Nagini tried to eat me again today. I don't know what's wrong with that damn reptile, surely Master has taught it the difference between a real rat and me. Hasn't he?

Re: It did it again

You'd better not let him hear you saying that. I'm sure Master would really like to hear you call his pet 'that damn reptile'

It's a snake Wormtail. You're a grown-up now, I think you can cope with one hungry reptile.

Re: It did it again

Bel, that thing tried to EAT me! As in KILL! And have you noticed that the thing's about seven feet long? I honestly wouldn't have stood a chance if it had got hold of me. If I hadn't dodged it with my amazing rat agilities, I would be stuck in that things colon right now.

Re: It did it again

One: Don't call me Bel. And Two: Of course it's big, it's a wild animal, they have to be big. And stop bragging, you didn't dodge it, it hit its head on the damn skirting board. I have this on very good authority.

Re: What's the problem?

Bellatrix forwarded me your e-mail. What's the problem with it being so big? I had a python once.

Re: Oh, for gods sake

Wormtail, it is two o' clock in the morning, I don't think we really want to hear about Nagini's forty-fifth attempt to make you into an appetiser. Of course it tried to eat you, if you're going to run around as a damn rodent, what would you expect? And no, Master hasn't trained it, what did you think he was gonna do? Put it on a lead? Besides, he thinks its funny – or did you wonder why he's trying not to burst out laughing every time you whinge about it?
