Ceridwen:
This was one of those few moments when Voldemort came off as evil as 
he's supposed to be, for me.  So casual, so throwaway, just, it's in 
my best interest to kill you, thanks for the good years, ciao.

Just... *silence*.  So anticlmactic.  So eerily perfect.  So 
ordinary.  Like shaking someone's hand at retirement.
