Just some things I read, or hear, that I feel worthy of making a note of. Don't be surprised if it's a bit short to be going on with.

Taken from a HarryPotterFanFiction?, by the name of 'Reign o'er me' by cts. I wonder if anyone recognises the source material? And bare in mind, this is a small point of humour in a relatively serious fanfic...

"My lord, Draco Malfoy discovered these in the dwelling of a Muggle official. Strangely, these papers were not secured with the documents we sought, but were lying casually on a device Muggles use to create such documents."

"I find it strange that such a document would not be properly secured," Voldemort said. "Or for that matter, carried outside of the Ministry itself. There is much wisdom collected here. For example, ‘I will not gloat over my enemies’ predicament before killing them.’ Had I but followed that with Potter… And much of what is written here is intended for Muggles; many references are made to their guns and other weapons… perhaps I should study their weapons…. Yet whoever wrote this had knowledge of Magic. For example, ‘I will not turn into a snake. It never helps.'"

Bellatrix continued to kneel quietly as Voldemort continued speaking. "It further seems strange that such a lowly placed Muggle official would have access to such a sensitive document dealing with Evil Overlords."

: Fantastic - yep, I know that source, although I haven't read an up-to-date edition for a while. --CH
