-1Harry Potter and the Ghost With the Most
Written by Chibikan
Summary: Another crossover from my whacked out imagination, when the Deetz's go on vacation to London with their gothic daughter Lydia, and Voldemort decides to attack, Harry gets the chance to become acquainted with the most power specter from the Neitherworld. Does Beetlejuice hold the key to disposing of Voldemort once and for all?
Prologue:
Lydia Deetz, a young woman just about to enter into her senior year at high school, with long graceful black hair and pale skin, trudged dolefully into her room, slamming the door. It wasn't fair, it just wasn't, not at all. She flung herself down on the bed, mourning the ruin of her fun-filled summer. It wasn't fair!
"Hey babes," came a familiar voice called to her.
Lydia didn't even look up. "Hello BJ."
Beetlejuice peered out from her mirror. "Gee, Lyds, why the long face?" Instantly his face elongated to an exaggerated length.
"My parents are going to London, and they're making me go too." She punched her pillow violently. "I'll be gone all summer and I won't get to see you while I'm there."
"WHAT!" The ghoul's eyes popped, literally, out of his head. They rolled onto the floor and blinked up at her. "All summer?!" He reached out of the mirror and picked his eyes up and placed them back in their sockets.
Lydia nodded. "Yeah, they want the entire family to be together since I graduate this year and am going away to college." She sat up. "I guess I can understand that, but…I'd rather be here." She would hate being unable to get away from her parents and go to the Neitherworld for a whole summer. And worse, she wouldn't even be able to summon Beetlejuice there. She couldn't let her parents find out about him or she'd never be able to see him again. She'd hate that even worse than going to London for three months. "It's not fair."
Beetlejuice couldn't even begin to think of a summer without his best friend. "I know it babes, that's even worse than being chased by a dozen sandworms in the Neither-Neitherworld." And that was saying something, since the thing he feared most was sandworms. Well, that and taking a bath. Well, those two plus another fear that topped both of those, the fear of losing Lydia. But better a summer than a lifetime, or after-lifetime in his case. He noticed how upset and dejected she was. He needed to be upbeat, for her sake. "But it's only a few months. The time'll go by fast." He hoped he was right. The last time he'd been unable to see her nearly killed him, if only he could have died twice. "And you can bring me back a present." He wiggled his eyebrows with a grin.
Lydia couldn't help but smile. Beetlejuice always knew how to cheer her up. "You're right Beej. It's not forever and who knows, maybe it'll be fun."
Author's note: Yes, another crossover with a classic cartoon from my childhood. Don't worry, we'll see Harry in the second chapter at the very least. I have big plans for this.
