Jello and the Minister of Magic

     Cornelius Fudge walked down the hall of the Ministry of Magic. He was just contemplating what havoc he would wreak on the goblin population of the magical world that day, when he stopped abruptly. He smelled something. Something jiggly. Something red. Not Santa Clause. Something desserty. Jello. He turned the corner at a sprint and burst into the office he smelt the jello coming from. The sign on the door read: "Department of Muggle Desserts and Other Non-Foods".

     Fudge slammed through the door and to his horror, saw none other than Severus Snape in there, wearing a pink, flowery apron and using cookie cutters to cut fun shapes out of the jello mold in front of him. Oddly enough, the jello shapes very closely resembled Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter, and himself, Cornelius Fudge. Fudge noticed that the Harry Potter shaped one had a toothpick sticking in it, right where Harry's nose would be. Just as Snape saw Fudge, he smiled and started to hum "Shortnin' Bread" very gleefully.

     Fudge turned around quickly to run for his life out of the room, but before he could reach the door, Snape jumped in front of him (still humming) with a plate of jello shapes. Fudge loved jello, but he wasn't about to eat it out of the hands of the Potions Master at Hogwarts. Fudge was spared the trouble of coming up with an excuse as to why he couldn't eat the jello, as the door to the room slammed open once more. Fudge nearly fainted when he saw Draco Malfoy being pushed through the door, wearing a pink tutu and ballet slippers.

     Draco looked positively horror stricken at the sight of Fudge. Fudge was just about to run screaming out of the office when another, larger, and pinker person came barreling through the door at him, nearly taking out Draco. Fudge screamed in horror at the sight of Lucius Malfoy in a pinker, more glorified version of Draco's tutu, prance into the room, singing.

     "*It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!*" Lucius twirled in a circle, and skipped around Fudge, pulling a very embarrassed Draco behind him. Lucius tapped Fudge on the head with a silvery, fairy-looking wand that had a pink star at the top of it. Small pieces of glittering snow fell out of the top of the wand and onto Fudge's head.

     "*Everywhere you go!* Sing with me Draco! NOW!" Draco mumbled something under his breath- but Fudge was sure that those weren't the words to the song. Lucius, however, didn't seem to notice Draco's indignance, as he now spotted Snape standing nearby, still holding the plate of jello. Lucius greeted Snape very jovially, and took the jello Harry Potter Snape had offered him. Far from eating it, though, Lucius walked casually over to a counter nearby, (still humming the tune), picked up a spatula, and started cutting the jello into a thousand different pieces. Fudge wondered briefly whether or not there was a such thing as 'voodoo jello', before finally coming to grip with the situation again, and flew out the door before anyone else could attempt to permanently disturb him for the rest of his wretched life.

     However, Fudge wasn't nearly as fortunate as he would have hoped, and upon walking down the hallway towards the elevators, he saw something that was even worse than Lucius Malfoy in a tutu.
