Lady StrangeAttempt 10: Gellert Grindelwald
Perhaps it was a mistake attempting to extract Grindelwald from Nurmengard. Officially, he is said to be a prisoner there. The truth is that he has the complete run of the place. He unnerves me – this fellow. I would go as far as to say that I distrust him more than I would Albus Dumbledore.
As it turned out, my natural distrust of Gellert Grindelwald has been reinforced by his habit of attempting to corner me in the dark corners of Nurmengard and persuading me to pop round to his private laboratory for what he termed “a few quiet experiments”. The inducements offered have ranged from the biological to the unspeakable. Clearly he has some dire secret plot in motion, possibly involving all those books which he endeavours to hide in the topmost shelf of the left cellar in the fifth sub-basement of his domain at Nurmengard. Among the various titles, two caught my eye -- Achieving Godhood with Minimal Fuss and Taking over the World through Magical Prowess.
If only Albus Dumbledore were still around, I would have enjoyed outplaying him.
As it is, I have politely declined all offers. There is only room for one contender to Godhood and Supreme Ruler of the World here, and I suspect that Grindelwald might have ambitions of his own.
Reminder to self 1: Kill him off as soon as possible, as I did with James Potter.
Reminder to self 2: Check the nearest bookshop for the books on Grindelwald’s shelves.

This was a great sicfic about the workings of a truly sick mind. Also, it was very funny. But why no chapter about recruiting Severus?
Response from Lady Strange (Author of Lord Voldemort on Recruiting Others to His Cause)
I have had no inspiration to write about Severus so I omitted him. Forgive me... SicFics amuses myself mainly, so I am very glad to have brought a smile to you. :)
Response from FruGal (Reviewer)
Lack of inspiration is the best reason for not writing.
Cute, little story. It put a smile on my face. Thanks.
Response from Lady Strange (Author of Lord Voldemort on Recruiting Others to His Cause)
Thank you. This began life as a means of amusing myself, and turned into something monstrously silly.
after all his failures, it's better to rationalise and think it's better not to have too many followers *grin*
Response from Lady Strange (Author of Lord Voldemort on Recruiting Others to His Cause)
Naturally! :) Voldie is that sort of a chap! lol.
I wonder if Goyle Senior will know he's sent to a werewolf...
Response from Lady Strange (Author of Lord Voldemort on Recruiting Others to His Cause)
Well, there is the off chance that Goyle Senior would have finished the Scooby Snacks...
Grindelwald was a lost cause from the beginning.
Response from Lady Strange (Author of Lord Voldemort on Recruiting Others to His Cause)
True, but I wanted to show that even Voldie found him a little scary...
Lucius should get worried.
Response from Lady Strange (Author of Lord Voldemort on Recruiting Others to His Cause)
Yes he should. But this is from Voldie's point of view, so poor Lucius has to content himself with smouldering for all us fangirls.
I like Bellatrix's repartee!
Response from Lady Strange (Author of Lord Voldemort on Recruiting Others to His Cause)
So do I. It is based on what I would say actually. lol. I am serious!
Would Voldemort be afraid of women?
Response from Lady Strange (Author of Lord Voldemort on Recruiting Others to His Cause)
Not really. He's just a vain chap. Wait till he attempts to win over Bellatrix....
Those were revelations about Dumbledore! Even Rita Skeeter didn't know that.
Response from Lady Strange (Author of Lord Voldemort on Recruiting Others to His Cause)
I thought it would be funny to throw Albus in chains somewhere... tee hee
Does LV really think everyone is so depraved?
Response from Lady Strange (Author of Lord Voldemort on Recruiting Others to His Cause)
In this OOC story, Voldie is a little muddled. He does think people are depraved, for reasons best known to himself.
we now know that appealing to Sirius's animalistic nature doesn't make the trick.
Response from Lady Strange (Author of Lord Voldemort on Recruiting Others to His Cause)
Perhaps if Voldie were to try the Scooby Snacks for himself....
And what an efficient distraction Greyback is.
Response from Lady Strange (Author of Lord Voldemort on Recruiting Others to His Cause)
Oh yes... I believe this is the only mildly serious note in this whole tale.
"an equal opportunity emloyer": LOL
Response from Lady Strange (Author of Lord Voldemort on Recruiting Others to His Cause)
Voldie is deliberately silly here. Guilty as charged! :p
I love that last line.
Response from Lady Strange (Author of Lord Voldemort on Recruiting Others to His Cause)
I can imagine Aberforth as a lecherous octopus, strangely enough...
Voldie, history is writen by the winners, and you have never been one.
How crass of Harry, to bite the hand that was trying to feed him.
I think it more likely that Goyle will come off second best, offering "Scooby Snacks" to a transformed werewolf.
The first smart thing Riddle has done.
So use him as a tool, not a servant.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel.
A dark wet dungeon, just the place for a rat.
A dark wet dungeon, just the place for a rat.
Serves Riddle right.
Scooby snacks
I think they are the wrong bait for Black, where Potter goes, Black will follow.
Tom Riddle has a truly twisted mind, and can't undrestand anyone that doesn't.
