Author's Note: This is Crouch's POV. Sorry it took me so long to update. School really slows down the writing process. This is mainly here to lead up to another drabble that I will post ASAP. It will probably be from the POV of someone in the Order. In case I don't get to post on Halloween, Happy Early Halloween!
Satisfying Boredom
It's nearly Halloween, and most of us Death Eaters have been getting a little bored. We haven't really committed any headline felonies in a while. The last mildly amusing thing that we did was make that Muggle bridge collapse. We did manage to cause quite a bit of fear and panic, but it really wasn't as satisfying as what we used to do during the First War.
The Dark Lord came and went. He didn't even have any developing schemes that I could take part in, which was quite disappointing.
So, I've been going through a sort of Snape-ish phase where I feel like my life is meaningless, and so have some of my Death Eater friends. (Yes, I wish that most of my fellow Death Eaters would die sudden deaths so that I can get them out of my way, but I do somewhat get along with some of them. I know it's surprising, but I do have some social skills.)
We're all sick of this monotony (I don't know how Snape can live like this for over thirty years), and I don't think that any of us can last any longer without going into an Unforgivable Curse withdrawal . Luckily, about a week ago we had a little meeting and we devised a scheme for Halloween, which is the perfect time to cause some mischief.
We do something new to the Order every Halloween. It's become a bit of a tradition. The best part of it is this: the Order is never able to guess what we're going to do to them.
Here's a little message for all you Order members:
First of all you should be getting scared right about now. Sorry, but we really can't tell you the details of the plan. That would ruin the surprise, but it's going to be really fun (for us Death Eaters at least). Secondly, the Death Eaters would like the wish you a happy Halloween and we all hope that most of you get mauled by chimeras sometime in the future.
Hopefully, this will at least get us a short article in the Daily Prophet.
