Voldemort cackled evilly. Not for any real reason, he just felt like doing something vaguely evil.
He was contemplating life, the universe and everything. He found that being an evil Dark Lord left you with either a lot of spare time, or none at all, depending on how your campaign was going. So in the lulls, he'd taken to philosophizing.
His Death Eaters were pathetic. Well, most of England was scared of them, but Voldemort thought that they were pathetic. They were always grovelling and kissing the hem of his robe or his boots. This was really disgusting, and he didn't even have a reliable method of washing his robes.
*Why can't I have some openly intelligent people!* he thought, *Croyle and Gabbe... Goyle and Crabbe... whatever those two are called, are so dim that a brick wall could easily defeat them in an IQ test. If brains were money, Malfoy would be even poorer than the Weasleys!!!! The Lestranges are just plain psychotic and that Wormtail creep is not only stupid, but creepy as well! And no one's worked out that it was Snape who betrayed me!!!*
Voldemort was one of those really strange people who would hunt innocent people down and kill them, but let people who had done something like betraying him could get away with it...if he felt like it.
So he'd let Snape off. He had a very good reason for this. Well, he thought it was a very good reason... and you don't wanna know how Voldemort's mind operates...

Ginny woke up. Not particularly suddenly, but more in a drifty kind of way.
She snuggled closer into someone who was wearing fleecey pajamas. She was too sleepy to pay attention to who it was, but in her still-asleep mind she recognised that whoever it was was a 'safe' and 'comforting' person.
The person was awake.
The person was muttering something that was probably very impolite, "..."
The person was Severus.
"Y'know, I hate physical contact," she told him.
He raised an elegant eyebrow at her.
Most people who hated physical contact DIDN'T snuggle into other people.
"You're nice," she commented randomly.
It was Friday, but due to it being Albus Dumbledore's birthday (no-one dared to ask how old he was), the entire of Hogwarts got the day off.
"You appeared to have a nightmare last night," Severus said, as if it was nothing much.
"Every now and then, I get these nightmares. They're really confusing. It's the past, present and future mixed together. In particular: death and destruction. I think that I have them to remind me on regular intervals that life sucks," Ginny muttered.
Some time later, after they had both got out of bed and had breakfast, Ginny was in the bathroom, trying to find her toothbrush. She noticed with horror that it had changed from the tastelessly bright orange tiles of yesterday to even more tasteless wallpaper with what looked like green foxes on it. She couldn't help yelping in surprise. She made a mental note to ask Severus why the hell the place had changed overnight.
She started poking round the bathroom. Not because she'd lost anything, but because she was a nosy little bitch.
She noticed with surprise a bottle of black hair dye. It was half used. It looked like it was from a dodgy and most probably illegal company. It claimed to have been made by EvilDudes.inc. She also noticed with interest, something that claimed to be 'yellowing'. It looked vaguely like toothpaste. Ginny had heard of whitening, but never of yellowing. She read the label. It said 'Yellowing© covers any unnaturally coloured teeth, changing them into a perfectly natural, murky yellow colour. We refuse to be held responsible for any injuries, illnesses or deaths caused by the use of this product'.
She had 2, and knew that the answer was 4. Now all she had to do was to find the second 2.
She went outside to poke around the village...

OK, now you've read that load of crap, feel free to review and tell me just how crap it was.
Well, I'd rather you told me that it was an amazing story... but hey, it kinda isn't so don't lie.
And once you've reviewed this, R&R all my other stories, and then R&R stories by: Audrey Miercoles, Cecil, Demus, LadyBush and Sheep the Adventurer. They are all good authors.
