Sometimes I still have little ideas that make me giggle.
Disclaimer: I DISCLAIM EVERYTHING, especially that bit of Philosopher's Stone dialogue at the start.
Alternate Universe
"'My dear Professor, surely a sensible person like yourself can call him by his name? All this "You-Know-Who" nonsense – for eleven years I have been trying to persuade people to call him by his proper name: Voldemort.' Professor McGonagall flinched, but –"
"Aha! There's no escape this time, Pott–" Voldemort glanced around at the small crowd of youths in front of which he had Apparated. "–er. Ah… Where is the Potter boy?"
There was a moment of stunned silence as seventeen children and one adult stared at the man who had interrupted the library reading session. Before Voldemort could start throwing hexes around, however, the silence was broken, as silences often are, by the obnoxious voice of someone who thinks far too much of his own opinion.
"Cool cosplay, man!"
This triggered a flood of similar sentiments from the rest of the gathered children – not to mention the adult, who hurriedly pulled out a camera phone.
As Voldemort was buried under hugs and photo requests, he lamented the Taboo's ability to transcend realities and resolved to look into a solution as soon as he returned to his world. His first trip into this foreign universe may have been fascinating, and the second and third hilariously embarrassing, but this was beginning to get a little ridiculous.
I wish Voldemort would Apparate to my house when I read to my niece (the one who got the chapter two dedication all those years ago and is indeed now a HP fan).
