Requirements for a Dark Lord...

Summary – Voldemort fills out a questionaire produced by the Daily Prophet to see if he can cut being a Dark Lord. It is set during his second rise to power.

Disclaimer – Harry Potter isn't mine! If it was, it wouldn't have ended up how it did.

This is just a random short fic.

And on with the story!

Writing in Italics is Voldemort's thoughts.


'Do You Think You Could Be a Dark Lord?'

Fill out this questionnaire to see whether you could.

(This questionnaire appears in parts; add up your scores each week to reveal answers hidden to all but our seer.)

1. Do you have at least 20 years of teaching experience? No.

2. Are you at least 6ft9inches? No, 6ft 7inches, but I'm sure I could grow a little...note to self, get Snape on the case.

3. Do you have support from at least 4 different dark-aligned species? No, humans and werewolves only.

4. Do you have a fear-inspiring name? Yes...although I'm sure if the wizarding population could speak French they wouldn't think 'Flight of Death' quite so threatening. What was I thinking when I came up with that one, I blame Marvolo...with a different middle name I could have come up with a much better name. Hmmm...too late to change it now I suppose.

5. Have you filled in form B65 at the Ministry? What? I have to fill in a form? No. Where can I find that? I suppose Lucius could find it for me - second note to self.

6. Do you play the organ? Not very well, ok not at all.

7. Are you well read? Yes, fairly.

8. Do you speak Latin fluently? Yes.

9. Do you have a group of sheep-like followers (please note that this is how they follow your orders, and not what they look like)? Yes, especially that crazy one, what's her name...Bellatrix that's it. Must remember to Crucio her soon.

10. Have you applied and failed for the post of Minister of Magic? No.

11. Have you made a transition from a neutrally-aligned species to a dark-aligned one? Yes...I suppose a snake-man would be dark-aligned. Definitely to the wizarding world.

12. Do you like your mother? No.

13. Do you like your father? No.

14. Did you grow up in a loving family? No.

15. Do you speak French fluently? Yes.

16. Are you up to date with trends? What's a trend?

17. Is your favourite colour black? No, baby blue. Might not want to reveal that to the Deatheaters.

18. Do you look in the mirror more than 4 times a day? Do I have any mirrors in the manor?

19. Do you like muggle conveniences? Death to muggles!

20. Do you like sunlight? No


Author's Note:

This is a re-written version of 'Requirements for a Dark Lord', the English has been cleared up...it was awful before and I freely admit that. All the questions are the same but the answers have been added to or changed in a minor way.

What do you think?
