Way Number 2: Laugh at Him

I swear, if Voldy takes over the world, he better get better mattresses or else all his minions are going to die from either lack of sleep or a very bad back. Oh, ouch! Well, anyway, besides the unfortunate mattress problem, life here at 'The Hideout' is alright. I mean, I have to stick by one of the two people I absolutely HATE, but it's still alright.

I yawned and did my morning stretches so that I could feel normal again and then locked my door and went outside. It was pretty cold inside the house, obviously these people had never heard of a heating system. Oh well, all I could do was wrap my cloak tighter around me and keep walking.

I hadn't been assigned to do anything yet, for which I was very grateful. I wasn't particularly up to going out and killing someone. It just wasn't very high on my 'Things To Do Before I Die' list.

Within five minutes of walking, though, I ran into Bellatrix. I swear, that woman is everywhere! The look that she always had on her face when she ran into me was softened as of late, but she still obviously thought herself much better then I.

"Oh, Eviolla!" she called. The name was still fairly new to me; yesterday she had to call me five times before I remembered she was talking to me. "How are you fairing?"

"Oh, just fine." Bellatrix has this way of talking that always seems so...proper. Like I've walked into Middle-Earth or something. I never thought she'd be quite like that. Then again, I never expected to be talking to her at all. "And yourself?"

"Oh, I am just fine. Would you like to walk?" Walking is never good. Walking means talking and I can't do the talking thing very well.

"Sure." See? My mouth gets in the way of my brain and says things I don't want it to.

She started walking at a fast pace and I had to practically jog to keep up with her. "So, Eviolla, how do you like it here so far?"

"Oh, it's everything I expected!" I said, smiling again. Of course, I didn't tell her what I had expected was everything but flattering.

"Remember what I said about smiling?"

"Oh, right." I stopped smiling and just kept a blank look on my face. She had told me that Deatheaters don't smile and that I shouldn't smile as often.

"We should head to the meeting, don't you think?"

"Oh yes, of course!" So, we walked down to the meeting room where I once again had to sit through one of the most boring speeches ever created. If there's one thing I've realized while being stuck in this dingy room with thirty-three other people, it's this; Voldemort likes to look superior. And I mean that in the most extreme way possible. If I started laughing right now, I'd be dead before the third 'Ha'. So I occupied myself by looking at various good-looking Deatheaters in the room (of which there are only four; two are married, one has a girl-friend, and one I am still keeping my eye on and whose name is Adam).

Once the most-boring-meeting-in-the-world part five was done, I put my hood up and followed Voldy Moldy down the hall again. He has the easiest room to follow since it's the biggest one and all the way on the other side of the house. I followed him almost all the way to his room until I made my presence known by pretending to trip.

"What do you want?" he asked viciously.

I raised my hand, pointed at him, and then laughed.

I think I'm going to get the best exercise out of this.

I ran all the way to my room, closed it as quietly as possible, and looked the door. As soon as I made sure no one was listening, I started really laughing. This had to of been the most fun I'd ever had in my life! This was even better then when I was finally told I was tall enough to go on all the rides in Disneyland!

Well, as soon as I was done with that, I decided to celebrate myself by taking part in a little twenty-first century tradition; jumping on the bed while singing. Never mind that the song I was singing didn't exist yet.

"Please take me to your leader! Tell her I will surrender! She has two arms to hold me and four legs to wrap around me! She's not you're typical girlfriend; she's my alien!"

I sure hope this walls are sound-proof
