Chapter 8: Lucius Malfoy De-indented Richard

(A/N: Thanks to Dr. Jan Frans van Dijkhuizen for coming up with the term 'to de-indent'.)

Severus Snape was just walking up to Malfoy Manor, when a small, ugly- looking blur came speeding by, followed by a larger, black blur, wheeling something.

"Lucius!" He yelled. "Is that you?"

"..........yyeeeeeEEEESSS........" the black blur said as it sped by.

"What are you doing?" Snape said, frowning.

".....Richard looked....." the blur said, now chasing the other smaller blob that was running circles around Snape. "....a little dented...." The blur said. "....so I thought...." ".....I should......." "....de-indent......" "....him.........." "....a little....." He stopped, and the other blur, which had still been running, bumped into him, and fell backwards onto the ground. Snape thought it would be best if he took a few steps back. "Ha!" said Lucius, and started bashing Richard mercilessly.

"But that's the way my face is supposed to look!" Richard said, desperately.

"Try fooling someone else, Richard!" Lucius said, triumphantly, and whacked him over the head with his cane.
