Well, here's the next chapter. Sorry about the delay. College is WAY too stressful and crazy. I actually shouldn't have even been doing this. Oh well. This is much more fun. I believe this idea came from Spirel or AnimeinAeternum so thanks to whichever came up with it. And thanks to all who have reviewed thus far. Oh, and for the sake of this chapter, Dobby didn't die.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Allergies
The battle was long and arduous and it still wasn't over. Harry and Voldemort were still throwing spells at each other nonstop. A timeout was called on both sides to give the duellers some time to rest.
Bellatrix was massaging Voldemort's shoulders and trying to whisper helpful hints but he was just shooing her away with his hand.
Harry sat down on a conjured chair provided by Hermione and he hung his head, sweat framing his face. He wasn't sure what to do anymore. Suddenly, a small creature with bat-like ears sidled up next to Harry.
"Mister Harry Potter sir," Dobby began. "Dobby has it. Dobby has it."
"What do you mean?" Harry asked. "What do you have?"
"Dobby has the thing to defeat You-Know-Who," and Dobby held out a muffin.
Harry stared incredulously at the pastry in Dobby's hand and asked him, "Dobby, have you been drinking Butterbeer today?"
"No Mister Harry Potter sir. Dobby has not touched Butterbeer in many days."
Harry continued to stare at those tennis ball sized eyes and asked, "This is going to defeat Voldemort?"
"Yes."
"A muffin?"
"Yes."
"Dobby, how is a muffin going to defeat a wizard?!"
"You-Know-Who has allergies. Deathly allergies."
"Are you sure this will work, Dobby?"
Dobby nodded, his ears flapping. "Dobby always heard his old masters talking of not eating nuts before meetings with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."
Harry took another look at the muffin: cranberry and almond. He looked back at Dobby and his eyes were sure. Harry stood up and called the time out to an end. Hermione and Ron tried to talk him out of it, saying that it was ludicrous but he ignored their pleas.
Voldemort rose from his chair and Harry hid the muffin behind his back. They stood for a moment, staring at each other and suddenly started throwing spells at each other again.
As the spells were being fired back and forth, Harry inched forward toward Voldemort, knowing that he only had one shot. Using a small break in between Voldemort's spells, Harry lunged at Voldemort and hurled the muffin down his throat. The Dark Lord's eyes gaped and he started coughing and hacking up the muffin.
"NUTS! HOW DID YOU KNOW?!" Voldemort screamed. He started to shoot spells at Harry but he easily dodged them as Voldemort was quickly losing focus on the battle at hand. His spells became raspier in sound as Voldemort's throat closed up and finally collapsed and in a final twitch, Voldemort was dead.
Harry rushed over to the house elf and hoisted him upon his shoulders and Dobby was carried off amidst victory cheers.
