The Fiend From The Underworld by Sera
It was 2003, and Harry had been married to Cho for two years. They had a son, James Sirius Potter (A/N: Not hard to guess who he was named after!!) who was about six months old now. Harry and Cho were coming home from dinner with Ron and Hermione (both happily married, but not to each other), and it was a typical family scene - walking home in the half-light, hand in hand, pushing the pram… but there was something else - something sinister. Harry tightened his grip on Cho's hand, and they stopped. Instinct made Harry pull out his wand, as a dark figure leaped from behind a bush at the pair of them.
"Stupefy!" Harry yelled. The spell smashed into the figure, lighting up its rubbery skin and revealing a purple hue. Then the shape crashed to the ground. The lovebirds stared at its still form in amazement. "It's… horrible," stammered Cho. "Harry, you'd better take it to Azkaban. Who knows how many people it's killed?" Harry agreed, and used a transporting spell to send the thing to the gates of Azkaban. "I'll be back shortly," he promised his wife, and Disapparated, appearing at the Ministry Office where he worked.
"Yes, it's dangerous, better have it locked away," The Minister in charge of Azkaban nodded gravely, and gestured to two Dementors to drag the still form of the purple lizard into a waiting cell. Harry felt at ease once more, and Apparated back to his wife, who was by then at home.
At dawn the following morning, the reptilian creature turned its green-spotted back on the Dementor that entered the cell. Even as its face was uplifted for the Dementor's kiss, it growled in ire. "I swear, if I ever meet those two kids again, I'll sing my theme song until they both drop dead!" was the last thought of Barney the dinosaur as his soul (his evil, hug-filled soul) fled his body.
THEND
Afterword: A stupid story. See if I care.
