Chapter 11
Evil for Dummies
Voldemort sat on a chair in his lair, reading. The lair was a new improvement, because the Evil for Dummies said that all evil villains had to have a lair. This was the book he was reading.
He had realized that if he could be defeated by an infant, he probably wasn't a very good evil mastermind. So he had had one of his minions check the book out of the library.
Rule #1
Never Gloat:
Many villains forget that when they have the protagonist trapped with no way out, there usually is a way out. So, the villain will start to brag about how well they have done finally catching the elusive so-and-so, giving the goody-two-shoes time to either escape or be rescued. This has happened so may times, that it is quite expected.
Example: Darth Vader
Rule #2
Do Not Mutter Your Plan Out to Your Self
When alone or surrounded by people who know what your plan is, and you suddenly get the urge to remind yourself or them what your plan is, don't. When this urge comes along it usually means that the protagonist is lurking around in your lair trying to figure out what you plan is. Telling them is not a good idea, because they will, undoubtedly, foil it.
Example: Every antagonist in Rescue Rangers
"Hmm," Voldemort grunted as he turned the page. This was some incredibly useful information. He had been foiled before by reminding himself of his plan to kill Lily and James, when the traitor death eater went and told them, and they put that stupid spell on themselves. Thank god it didn't work or else he'd have three obnoxiously happy Potters after him instead of one.
Voldemort put the book down. He then reached over and picked up a stack of parchment that looked hundreds of years old. He flipped through them until he found what he was looking for. A short poem that read:
The fair-haired one is he
One with eyes and ears
Beside him is the fire
Pure and angelic
Next is very powerful
Quick of mind and tongue
More creative then his mate
Logical, not as bright
To bind them all together
The one who will care
Last is the strongest
He will strike evil down
Together they form the body
The most powerful being
Of all
"Well, that narrows it down," he said. He put the poem away, happy that these new clues had come to him.
