Wormtail stood outside the Dark Lord's lair, holding a plate of food, with a goblet of snake venom, and shivering. He tentatively raised one thin arm and knocked on the door. There was no answer. He knocked again, louder.

"What?" said a voice behind him. Wormtail jumped and the tray went flying.

"Your dinner is ready…" Wormtail muttered, and turned around. Voldemort smiled and waved.

"Hey, there, Wormtail! How's it going?"

Wormtail stopped staring at the ground and looked up at the not-so-dark lord. His eyes ran over the length of his master's cloak and he giggled nervously. Sewn all over the cloak were the kind of patches you would find on a 6-year-old girl's clothes, flowers, butterflies, suns with happy faces, that sort of thing. There was even a patch that said "Jesus Loves You." On top of that, well, it was hard to tell in the dark, but it seemed that Voldemort's cloak had turned a shade of lavender-purple. It looked like Voldemort had taken a quick trip to loony town.

"When did you change?" muttered Wormtail.

Voldemort looked at him for a second and then laughed. "Oh you silly! I've been wearing this all day! It's much better than those ugly black cloaks, don't you think?" Wormtail nodded apprehensively. "C'mon, Wormtail, let's go to the park! I told Bellatrix to meet us there at three! Hurry up or we'll be late!"

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the park, by the swings. Bellatrix was already there, and when they approached, she seemed just as stupefied as Wormtail did over Voldemort's new cloak.

"Hey, girlfriend!" shouted Voldemort, waving happily at Bellatrix.

Bellatrix looked as though she had never been more offended in her life she sidled over to Voldemort and hissed "What ARE you doing! Do you want to lose every ounce of respect you've ever had? My lord, is this some sort of new plan?"

Voldemort giggled "Oh, please, call me Voldy! 'My Lord' is just too formal for best friends like us!" "Voldy" squeezed Bellatrix to his side and beckoned Wormtail over. Wormtail shook his head and started to back away. Voldy giggled and dragged them both over to the swing set.

"C'mon, you guys! Let's swing!"

Wormtail and Bellatrix both refused to go anywhere near the set, but Voldy jumped onto the first swing he saw and joyfully flew through the air. He jumped off when it flew up high, and shrieked with delight as he soared off the swing and onto the ground.

"HEY! You big fat meanie!" Voldy looked around for the source of the voice. Sitting beside him was the same boy who he'd cleaned up earlier.

"Oh my good golly gosh! What's wrong, sweet one?" Voldy asked in a sing-song voice.

"You're a freak! And you sat on my sand-castle, you idiot!"

"Goodness gracious me! This is awful! Here, have a lollypop! And a blue teddy-bear! And a model train!" Voldy had whipped out his wand and was busily conjuring up everything he could think of to replace the sand-castle. The little boy picked up the items, stuffed the lollypop in his mouth and walked off. Voldy smiled after the little boy and waved. Five seconds later, every child on the playground had run up to Voldy and was asking for toys and candy. Voldy conjured up a large pile of toys and candy, and blew the children a kiss before leaving with his followers. Bellatrix smacked herself in the forehead when she saw the goofy smile on Voldy's face. As they reached the mansion again, she whipped around and grabbed him by the shoulders.

"Okay, listen! Apparently you have forgotten how to be evil, so I've got to teach you how to again, with Wormtail's help. We were talking about this- this- ailment while you were handing out kittens and gumballs to those kids back there. So, tomorrow morning, we're starting your "Evil Lessons." Got it?"

"'Evil lessons?'" Voldy thought about it. "Sounds… COOL! Do they have butterflies and happy unicorns in them?" He asked hopefully.

"NO!" Bellatrix snapped. "No butterflies OR unicorns, unless you want to drink their blood!"

"Oh…" Voldy traced patterns on the ground with his toe. "I'm sure they'll still be lots of fun though!"

Bellatrix growled and stalked off. Wormtail glanced at Voldy, then sped up to catch up with Bellatrix. Voldy smiled, shrugged, and ran off to try to play tag with them.

A/N: Yay! The end of another chapter! Voldem- I mean Voldy is completely insane! YAY! Kinda like me, except only more so! Next chapter will probably be the last, so it's pretty quick reading. And, I'm writing that right now! Please Review!
