My Life as a Death Eater: The Diary of Pittheus Arion

Chapter Three: Bubblegum and Visitors

The 9^th of August

Oh, today was so much fun, not to mention a little dangerous. This was the first stunt I've pulled since I called him "The-Man-Who-Let-The-Boy-Live". He was so furious about it. He questioned each one of us individually to find out if we knew who had done it. He even gave some of the newest Death Eaters Veritiserum to make sure that they were loyal and hadn't done it. Thankfully, he trusted the older Death Eaters, me included, and didn't use Veritiserum on us. Anyway, back to the point. Today I decided to pull off number seven on my list, though very simple, it could be deadly to the perpetrator should he/she be doing it to annoy Lord Voldemort, which I was. Therefore, I decided to use the wonderful powers that I was born with to alter my appearance again. This time, I darkened my skin color so it was a golden-brownish color and made one of my eyes green and the other brown. I knew that this would be sure to freak him out a bit. I also made my hair gray and skin a little wrinkly. Anyhow, when I disapparated from my room and went to this pub that was exclusively for Death Eaters, nobody recognized me so many people were whispering and pointing at me. After a few moments, Voldemort approached me and asked me who I was. My only response was a quick succession of bubbles which I made with my bubblegum, the last of which burst everywhere and made a mess. To make it even better, this wasn't just the regular old Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, this was a new brand, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. It was called Popping Pandemonium. Testers said it would start off your day with a bang! It certainly would have worked for me, but I didn't have it in the morning.

Old Voldie-poo just stood there for a moment, with gum clinging to his face and beard. Voldie-poo, I'll have to add that one to my list. Then he let out a ferocious roar, I even jumped! He raised his wand, pointed it at me and the word Avada escaped his lips before I disapparated out of there. That was the closest brush with death I have ever had! I experienced a high much like the ones muggles get when they tie stretchy ropes around their waists and jump off bridges. I salute the Weasleys and their fine inventions that make practical-joking easier for people like me.

The 12^th of August

Oh, last night I pulled one of my best pranks yet! Ha, ha! My Lord went to bed at nine o'clock, so at ten o'clock I Apparated in front of his chambers, disguised as an old man with jet black hair and a hunched back, and knocked on his door, then I waited until I heard him approach and Disapparated. I sat back and listened to the radio in my room for a while, there was a Weird Sisters marathon that I was thoroughly enjoying, and waited for an hour. I then Apparated to the hall in front of Voldemort's chambers and knocked again, quickly Disapparating once I heard footsteps. I did this hourly for the rest of the night, and it was such a rush! I also had a great time listening to the Weird Sisters marathon. I had so much fun! It is about five o'clock right now, and I'm pretty sure that Tommy-boy has given up attempting to sleep tonight. It will be interesting to see how he acts this morning. I will also have to annoy him during sleeping hours again. It was very satisfying.
