It's a good thing Voldemort isn't a common name, otherwise the Taboo put on it in the seventh book would have disastrous consequences. Imagine if he was still going by Tom...
Dedicated to iPunched-a-werewolf-in-theFACE and owed1yellowporsche, who I can always count on to give me exactly what I need. Intelligent conversation.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of this, particularly not the transformation of Taboo from an adjective to a noun.
The Name
Third Person POV
All was quiet at The Leaky Cauldron, the late night stragglers drifting off. The landlord was wiping down the bar in preparation for closing time. One of the few people left got shakily to his feet, stumbling slightly.
"You all right, there? D'you need me to call you the Knight Bus?" asked the old landlord.
"Nah, I'll be fine. Just need to get my balance back," replied the patron, turning to leave.
"If you're sure," said the old man uncertainly.
"Of course! You have a good night, Tom."
Immediately, loud cracks filled the air as masked, hooded figures appeared. They wasted no time in apprehending old Tom and the drunkard, and hauling them off to Azkaban.
"But I'm telling you," protested Tom, "that's my name!"
Good, not great. So, just to be clear, these are all one shots that do NOT follow a storyline of any sort. They just relate back to the same topic.
Ugh, aren't I enough of an egotist? Must I actually indulge myself by asking for more reviews? Ah well, I still have some time before my over inflated head explodes, so review.
