Chapter 20 - That's A Pretty Big Bug, Part 1
Draco Malfoy had a problem.
Quite a large problem, actually.
A disgusting, many-legged, hairy problem.
he shrieked. There's an icky bug in my room!
Narcissa Malfoy came running into Draco's room, a large flyswatter clutched in one hand. She was dressed in a frilly blue nightdress and had her blonde hair done up in rollers. She raised the flyswatter.
Where is it, lovey? Tell Mummy!
Draco pointed at the wall opposite his bed.
Narcissa shrieked and jumped into bed with him. Lucius! There's a big, icky bug in Draco's room!
Her husband came running in, with a can of bug spray clutched in one hand. He was wearing a dark red smoking jacket over an exquisite pair of black silk pajamas. He raised the can of spray.
Where is it, darling? Tell Luci!
Narcissa and Draco pointed.
Lucius shrieked like a woman and dived into bed with them. Bella! There's a big, icky bug in Draco's room!
Bellatrix entered, holding a large mallet. Her long black hair was loose and she was dressed in a long, black silk nightgown. She looked like the mother from the Addams Family, right down to her two-inch black fingernails.
Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco pointed.
Bellatrix wrinkled her nose and raised the mallet. Stand back!
The Malfoys pulled Draco's blankets over their heads.
Bellatrix shrieked, and smashed the big, icky bug with her mallet.
SQUISH.
Bits of bug flew all over, leaving a giant black splotch on the wall. Bellatrix beamed as her relatives emerged, quivering, from behind the blankets. Much better. She strolled off to bed.
Better now, lovey? Narcissa inquired.
Draco nodded happily. Yes, Mummy.
His parents kissed him and departed. Draco hugged his teddy bear to his chest. Goodnight, Mr. Snugglekins.
Goodnight, Draco, replied Mr. Snugglekins.
