Lady Beaufoy stormed into the corridor and hurried into the wrong room by mistake. As soon as she saw what was going on, she slammed the door shut and ran into the corridor again. She opened another door but this time, it was the cupboard she opened. The hooded person rushed out. The four boys emerged from Wormtail's room.

"Wahey! A stripper!" Avery roared.

"Oh, yes, this is much more like it," Rookwood said as he took off the coat and cowl.

"And she's come dressed as the Dark Lord!" Nott said.

"Do you know who I am?" Voldemort hissed.

"Yes, I know who you are," Malfoy said as he came out of the dining room closely followed by Snape.

"Who?" Avery asked.

"You are... Merlin, the Happy Pig," Malfoy hiccupped.

"Wrong, I'm afraid. I am...The Dark Lord Voldemort," he hissed.

He stood to his full height. Everyone fell to their knees and bowed deeply.

"I may have only returned to my body recently but I have the heart and stomach of a concrete elephant," Voldemort said.

"Prove it," Avery said tentatively.

Voldemort grabbed a hug flagon and prepared to drain the full content.

"I certainly will. First I'm going to have a little drinky... and then I'm going to curse the whole bally lot of you," Voldemort hissed.

It was dawn the next day. Everyone sat drunk in a heap around Voldemort's feet. Only Lady Beaufoy was missing.

"See the little goblin, see his little feet. And his little nosey wose, isn't the goblin sweet?" Malfoy sang utterly pissed.

"Yes!" the whole lot roared.

"See the little goblin..." Malfoy sang

"Wait a minute! I'm sure there was something important I had to do to all of you this morning," Voldemort said in an attempt to think hard.

They all started to giggle.

"I remember something about 10 000 Galleons. Was it...?" Fudge said.

"No, I think it was something about an inheritance," Lord Beaufoy said.

"Look! Do you lot want to hear about this goblin or not?" Malfoy hissed.

They all nodded their consent.

"Right, well perhaps this time I might be allowed to continue, and perhaps finish, with any luck," Malfoy continued.

Lady Beaufoy suddenly appeared from underneath Voldemort's robes.

"Luck – wahey – geddit?" Lady Beaufoy said, "sounds almost like f..."

The end.
