Summary: Severus is sent on a Halloween errand for Voldemort.
Notes: Slighty cracky. Many thanks to C for the beta and more thanks and b-day wishes to the mod!
At thirty-eight he'd been reduced to an errand boy; Severus fumed. He looked around at the devastation around him. A basket full of gourds was surrounded by a turnip, a mangelwurzel, a swede (in case the Dark Lord decided to go traditional), and one each: large orange, small orange, dark green, large white, small white, Australian blue, and red pumpkin. He loaded them into a trunk and Apparated back to the graveyard. The Dark Lord could be so predictable.
"Ah, Severus, you're back. Good," Voldemort hissed. He inspected the bounty as Severus levitated it. "The gourds I can use for decorating. Swede, a bit too traditional, don't you agree?"
Severus nodded.
"A lovely selection of pumpkins. Well done, Severus."
"Thank you my Lord." Severus turned to go.
"Oh, but you can't leave, Severus. I need you to model."
"Model?"
"Your nose is perfect for the witch I'll carve on the flesh of that green pumpkin. You can gut the rest while you sit for me."
Severus pointed his wand.
"No!" Voldemort shrieked. "Use a knife! I want seeds. You can roast them up nice and toasty with salt and some exotic spices."
Strychnine came to Severus' mind.
