Hooray! No more gray!

Ahem. Right. On with the opening song.

One night of the hunter,

One day, I will get revenge,

One, night to remember

One day, it'll all just end

30 Seconds to Mars

The man was desperate.

He had only escaped that hellhole because of the scroll, but it was hardly helping him now, was it? He had no food or warmth of any kind, just a puddle of filthy water and the rags of his 'uniform'.

Ironic, really, that he, the richest and second-most powerful wizard of his age, was scrounging the dirty streets of a poorer-than-poor village. He had to find Wormtail, but he was nowhere to be found.

Until he managed to find a week-old Daily Prophet. And there, on the front picture, was Wormy. The cowardly rat was probably having the time of his life while his Lordship's most powerful and wealthy ally was living on garbage. It was despicable.

But also expectable.

He was just glad that this was HER year now. Why it took a year to cycle through each aspect of the scroll, he had no idea, but now he was glad to have the long period of time. That bleeding Muggle king was always either yelling at him or completely ignoring him, that blasted dragon was always setting the scroll itself on fire (which caused the other aspects of the scroll to scream, curse and/or yell hilariously), the idiot queen was always lecturing him, the knights were all yelling at him when their year came around, that lake woman seemed to be quite mute, the old Drake woman would create carefully aimed tiny fireballs that had burned his beard off multiple times, and the one who had been recorded down as the most evil, dark and bloodthirsty knight in history just ignored him completely. The only one who actually talked to him and seemed to agree with him was that witch, Morgana. Unfortunately, she only surfaced once every twelve years, and, despite her immense power even as a scroll, she couldn't make herself dominant every year.

It was quite annoying.

But, now that it was her year, she had zapped him out of Azkaban and into someplace called Ealdor. She said it was the birthplace of Merlin himself, though, looking at it, you would have thought it'd be the birthplace of a rat. Nothing more, everything less.

And he, as Voldemort's richest ally, was not pleased.

He knew that he'd need more than one person to complete the spell he needed to do, and, as both himself and Lady Morgana agreed, why not do it at the same time they revived Voldemort?

The only problem was that Morgana's year would be up by then.

And in her place, that blasted king would be alternately yelling at him and ignoring him. At least, he thought, settling in a dark corner for the night, his problems really couldn't get worse if he waited.

Dun dun dun! And we have our villian! Regdna! Will he last the whole year until Wormy escapes? Stay tuned to find out!

*grabs keyboard from overdramatic and immature cousin* Okay, sorry about that! My cousin, even though he's technically older, acts like a six year old sometimes, and I have to be the responsible one! Grrghh...

But he's alright if you get used to his antics. At least he doesn't hate me...

BTW, I have a guest review that I need to reply to.

CATHERINE: Yes, I can see your review. I just needed to moderate it. And I'm glad you understand my writing now. And I get your point about OCs. However, in my eyes, Ravenna is a turning point in the story, and she's very important in the end. Come the TriWizard, third task, it's gonna get a bit... hairy. I haven't decided yet whether or not I'm going to kill her off. She is immortal, after all. I've been re-imagining the seventh book, and I have seen a dagger involved, but I haven't gotten past that yet. And not just any old dagger, a jewel-encrusted poisoned dagger. Thrown.

My imagination is crazy.

And though I have not read Lemony Snicket, I have the movie. Though I do need to read the book, don't I?

Anyways, pleasepleasepleasepleasePLEASE review and tell me what you think!
