"Harry, come quickly! You have to see this!" called Hermione from her lounge. Harry and Ron all rushed into the room. Hermione had her television on and was watching with Ginny. It was not immediately clear what it was she was watching. There were all sorts of very dark-looking figures darting around the screen, and the they saw what Hermione had been calling them for.
There, in the middle of a stadium full of Muggles, was a forty foot Voldemort towering high above everyone else.
"What?" exclaimed Harry is exasperation. "But I killed him!" He looked at Ron and Ginny desperately. "You saw it, right?"
"Harry, calm down," laughed Hermione. "It's just a pretend-Voldemort. It's part of the show. Look, it's going flat."
Harry stared at the screen as a group of women floated down from the sky carrying umbrellas. They were all wearing the same outfit of black dresses and hats. The giant Voldemort was indeed going flat. He let out a breath he hadn't realised he was holding.
"Oh, good." He flopped onto the sofa next to Ginny and took her hand. "Hang on," he said. "How do the Muggles know about Voldemort?"
The four of them looked at each other.
"How on earth are we going to Obliviate an entire stadium as full as that?" asked Ron.
Hermione grimaced. "Ron, this is broadcast on television all over the world. The estimated viewership of the ceremony is 4 billion people. It is just not possible to Obliviate that many people."
Ron was speechless.
"I think," said Ginny slowly. "I think that all the Muggles think it's just a fairytale story. There was a lady who read from a book just before this, and everyone seems to think it's just a show."
"I hope so. The last thing we need right now is every Muggle knowing about the Magical world..." said Harry. He sighed. There is no way we will ever be found out, he thought, and continued to watch the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games.
A/N: Just something silly for the Olympic Games. I hope everyone enjoys them!
