The Final Battle

Chapter 1

"Welcome to the Quidditch match of the century" roared Lee Jordan from the commentator's podium, " Today's match is Slytherin VS Gryffondor!" Harry looked at the podium. This is no ordinary match, he thought, its a fight for both the muggle world and my own.

" Captain and Seeker for Slytherin is Vol-..." Voldemort glared at Lee Jordan. "Is...er..Baldy...I mean You-Know-Who!"

He gulped. "Erm...Beaters are Crabbe and Goyle and the three Chasers are Severus Snape, Bellatrix Lestrange, and Narcissa Malfoy!"

"Hey Harry! All the chasers are girls!" George joked.

"Ah and Draco Malfoy as Keeper!" Lee added. " Now for Gryffondor!"

Crowd goes mad with applause.

"Captain and Seeker is Harry Potter!" Harry waves at the crowd and wonders if he fed Hedwig.."Beaters are Fred and George Weasly...by the way have any of you tried their product U-Know-Poo? Very excellent product...why just the other day I..."

As Lee rambled on Harry wonders why the hell he's doing this...sure he wants to protect Ron and Hermione and his other friends but what have they ever done for him? Ron owes him for saving his,his fathers lives..not to mention Ginny! Here he is taking his sweet ass time keeping the world safe for them and the muggles. Damn prophecy!

" Lee the match!" yelled Fred.

"Ah oh yes er...Chasers are Viktor Krum, Remus Lupin, and Nymphadora Tonks! And Keeper is Oliver Wood! Welcome back mate!" Harry was glad Wood was back...well...maybe...

" I want Tonks on the left over here...NO! NO! NO! Lupin over there!"

Harry looked at the crowd and spotted Ron and Hermione waving at him. He waved back thinking how Hermione had been happy to see her pen pal "Vicky" again. Ron on the other had looked furious at the sight of him.

"Harry I haff never thought ve vould be playing a match togather," Victor Krum said as he walked up and stood by Harry,"against him." He jerked his head in Voldemort's direction.

"Yeah it was nice of you to come and help us out."

Krum smiled but it looked more like a scowl on his face," Vell he destoyed most of the school and killed Karkaroff..."

his face darkened as he said the name,"serves him right...and ve called him our headmaster!" He shook his head.

"...Oh well he's dead", replied Harry.

Krum laughed." Ah vell life goes on!"

"POTTER!" roared a voice.

Harry looked for the speaker and was suprised to see it was Voldemort.

" I expect you to be out of my way in this match...its a tip I like to give all my opponents." he spat.

" I don't need wimpy tips from a man who cries when someone steals his teddy bear!" Harry spat back.

Voldermort turned scarlet and looked around quickly. Finding that no one overhead Harry he turned to face him again.

"Don't you ever talk about Mr.Snuggles being stolen in front of me!", he whispered dangerously at Harry."You'll regret what you said Potter...mark my words!"

With that he stalked off saying " Its ok Mr. Snuggles the mean man didn't mean it...no one's gonna steal you from me..." He rubbed the teddy bear in his hands against his cheek and countinued toward his teamates stuffing the teddy back in his robes.

"Vot a git!" Krum said.

" I didn't seriously think he had a teddy bear...Dumbledore never mentioned ...Mr. Snuggles.." Harry paused." Wow Mr. Snuggles could be a -"

"Now to get this show on the row!" Lee shouted. " Players take your positions!"

Harry shook his head to clear his thoughts and then ran out to shake hands with the other team's captain.

"Mark my words!" Voldemort mouthed as he and Harry shook hands.

" Madam Hooch is releasing the bludgers...wow watch out for that bludger Snivellus!" The crowd roared with laughter. " Now the snitch is released...remember the snitch is world a hundred and fifty points...now the quaffle is thrown in the air...LET THE GAME BEGIN!
