Amiable Dorsai:
This reminds me of one of the lesser-known parts of the Rowling canon:

"Lord Derfdnaegroeg, scourge of Muggles, sat in their evil lair, which
was carefully hidden in a desirable and well-traveled part of the most
popular wizarding shopping district in the entire UK.

"Well, what do you think?" asked one half of
They-Who-Always-Enliven-A-Party. "Does our reign of terror on the
Muggles measure up to Voldemort's yet?"

"Let's tally it up," replied the other half of You-Know, Them. "OK, on
Voldemort's side, he's driven a government official insane, collapsed
a bridge with a dozen occupied cars on it, set loose a giant who
caused so much destruction that the Ministry blamed it on a hurricane,
and murdered his father and his grandparents.  On our side, we caused
a bullying git and his abusive parents a few minutes of well-deserved
panic."

"We've fallen a bit behind, haven't we?"

"We were funnier."

"There is that."

"Still, we need to think of a way to catch up."

"And a better anagram."

"Angelina likes it."

"Can't go by that, Angelina likes you.  Poor girl has no taste."

The Loudly-Dressed Lord(s) then adjourned their meeting to the Leaky
Cauldron, for dinner and a few shots of Ogden's Old Thought-Provoker."
