No, no, it has to be Thursday's night out with Spike from Spec-Ops17 -
 extracting a SEB (Supreme Evil Being) from his own head with a 
vacuum cleaner..

'you see, unlike conventional vacuum cleaners, this one works on a 
dual cyclone principle that traps dust and evil spirits by powerful 
centrifugal force. Since there is no bag there is no loss of suction -
 you can use a lower wattage motor there's a hose action - and a 
small brush for stair carpets.'

'You find evil spirits in stair carpets?'
'No, by my stair carpets need cleaning just the same as anyone 
else's.'

Note from Spike:
'Every SEB I ever captured considered itself not only the worst 
personification of unadulterated evil that ever stalked this earth, 
but also the *only* personification of unadulterated evil that ever 
stalked the earth. It must have been quite a surprise - and not a 
little galling - to be locked away with several thousand other SEB's, 
all pretty much the same, in row upon row of plain glass jars at the 
Loathsome Id Containment Facility.'

Carolyn
utterly convinced this is a dig at Voldy-the-hopeless-evil-overlord, 
what's in Harry's head, and the things in glass jars in Snape's 
office.
