Draco Malfoy looked over at his new Potions partner. Though Snape was talking about the fine points of today's potion and she was supposed to be taking notes, Kameron was instead writing some sort of list.
Draco craned his head and tried to look like he wasn't spying on her writing even though he really was. His eyes went to the top of the page where the title was written. He was so shocked that he couldn't catch himself before blurting, "The Evil Overlord List?"
Kameron, Snape and the rest of the Gryffindor/Slytherin Potions class stared at him. Though he was inwardly embarrassed, outwardly he kept his cool appearance. He pointed to Kameron, "She wrote it."
Kameron glared at him. "Why are you reading my personal writings?"
He glared back with an added sneer. "Why are you writing about Evil Overlords?"
"Yes, Ms. Morge," Snape folded his arms over his chest. "Why are you writing about Evil Overlords?"
Kameron sighed. "It's a Muggle thing. The Evil Overlord List is a list of corrections to the common mistakes of evil overlords that eventually leads to the downfall of their empire. Basically, it's tips on how to be a world conqueror. I was planning on Owling it to the Dark Lord"
The class continued to stare at her, in slight disbelief.
"You're telling Voldemort how to be a better bad guy?" Harry said incredulously. Some of the Slytherins, however, looked as if Christmas had come early.
"Its more of a joke," she explained. She held the parchment out to him, "Read number thirty-four."
He took it and read the tip. And promptly burst out laughing. He scanned the other "tips" and looked at her. "These are ridiculous! It's corrections to cliché Muggle fictional evil overlord's mistakes!"
"Well, duh," Kameron rolled her eyes as she took back the list. "Like I was actually going to send the Dark Lord a how-to on death and destruction? Give me a break."
A/N: I don't own the Evil Overlord List. You can find it at (www. eviloverlord. com/lists/overlord. html). Without the spaces.
