Chapter 23 - That's A Pretty Big Bug, Part 2
Draco Malfoy had a problem.
Another big, icky problem.
But this one was a thousand times bigger and ickier.
A truly gigantic spider was sitting in the sink.
It stared at him. Draco stared back.
It crawled forward. Draco shrieked and fled. He dashed into the parlour and wedged himself between his father and mother, who were sitting on the sofa. Mummy, Daddy!
What is it, sweetums? Narcissa cooed. Is something scaring my little Dracipoo?
There's a big, icky spider in the sink! Draco wept.
There, there now. Mummy'll get rid of that awful spider. Narcissa got up and went into the kitchen. But a second later, she returned, quivering.
What is it, lovey?
There's a big, icky spider in the sink! Narcissa wailed.
I'll get rid of it, Lucius said bravely, striding into the kitchen. But he returned a few minutes later, trembling.
Bellatrix looked up from playing Nintendo.
There's a big, icky spider in the sink!
I'll kill it, Bellatrix sighed, pausing her game and going into the kitchen.
She stared at the spider. It stared back.
She turned on the water and washed it down the drain. Then she reached over and casually flipped the switch for the garbage disposal.
SPLOOT.
Black goo shot up from the sink and made a huge stain on the ceiling. Bellatrix smiled.
All better, she said cheerfully, returning to her video game.
