Disclaimer: I could only wish to own Tom and Harry, which sounds oddly like Tom and Jerry and now I have some rather disturbing/entertaining images in my head.
Tom begins this one for a change.
"What the hell is going on here?"
"Nothing."
"Why are my Death Eaters dressed like that?"
"Dressed like what?"
"The image of a muggle clown comes to mind. If they inflated their heads and turned their skin orange."
"Oh, that."
"Yes, that."
"Right."
"Are you going to tell me why they're dressed like that or not?"
"I had nothing to do with it."
"Which makes me believe you had everything to do with it."
"Okay, I didn't have much to do with it."
"Much?"
"We were just chatting."
"Why were you 'chatting' with the Death Eaters?"
"I was bored and you were busy terrorizing Snape."
"Greyback actually, Snape left an hour ago."
"Right, you were busy.
"Potter, how did chatting lead to this?"
"They asked me to tell them what muggles are scared of."
"…"
"And I remembered that a common fear among my yearmates was clowns."
"Potter."
"So, I had to explain what a clown was and I'm not really certain they got it right, but I think they'd manage to scare some muggles."
"Potter!"
"Yes, Tom?"
"You are not allowed to 'chat' with my Death Eaters again."
"You're no fun."
"Oh, I'll show you fun."
"Promises, promises."
So, yeah, that's it.
