A/N:.Been a while? Yeah.long time. Sorry to anyone out there who for some reason has actually liked this enough and had a good enough memory to remember it. Ah - short .

At long last, Harry's laughter subsided, dwindling to a low gurgle. Voldemort sneered and tapped Harry's head impatiently with the tip of his wand, clearing his throat loudly.
"Wh - what?" Harry gasped, wiping his eyes as he turned, dropping the dictionary carelessly onto Voldemort's badly placed toe.
"Catastrophic?" Voldie said unpleasantly, kicking the huge book off his foot.
"Hm?" Harry queried, looking a bit confused. " No, I'm not afraid of small places!"
Voldemort's sour look betrayed his already well known, quite apparent disdain, and sickening dislike for the scrawny, green-eyed annoyance some people called 'Harry'. He replied in his driest, most flat voice.
"Find the word 'Catastrophic' in the dictionary. You blithering idiot!"
"All right, all right." Harry muttered, flipping confusedly through the heavy volume. Voldemort waited. Harry continued to browse. Voldemort waited. Harry kept flipping pages. Voldemort waited.
"Are you quite finished?" The Dark Lord finally snapped.
Harry frowned and then turned. "What letter does 'Claustrophobic' start with?"
"You're looking up 'Catastrophic'!" Voldie shrieked.
"Yeah." Harry said thoughtfully. "But I didn't know which letter it started with so -"
"Aaaagh!" Voldmort began spasmodically bashing his head into a tree, while Harry watched blankly, his face finally showing some sort of surprise.
"Er - do you know a synonym for 'Claustrophobic?'"
Voldemort only continued bashing his head against the tree, wand clutched in one white-knuckled hand, yelling in random outbursts of anger and exasperation.
