A Most Unusual Encounter

written by Shaun Garin

JK Rowling owns Harry Potter. Rare owns Greg.


"James and Lily Potter." Greg looked over his book at the pair and sighed. "Got offed by the Dark Wanker?"

James' eyes danced with mirth. "Dark Wanker. That's a good one." Lily poked him in the stomach. "Yes."

"Well, no chances for you mate and lady. But there's a nice place in heaven for both of you. Now if you would just step to the side for a moment."

The Potters stepped to the side. In a flash, the snake-like Voldemort appeared. Lily yelped and James reached for a non-existent wand.

"What am I doing here?" Voldemort hissed. He then rounded on James and Lily. "Potter. I killed both of you!"

"You..." James was about to go for Voldemort's throat in an old fashioned slugfest but Greg tossed a scythe between them.

"That's enough. You, Potter, sit. You, Dark Wanker. Sit."

Voldemort's red eyes blazed with fury. "Why I oughta..."

"That's enough. If you want the Powers That Be to revoke your status." said Greg sharply.

Voldemort blanched, a thing thought impossible and he sat down meekly.

"Now," said Greg, placing a plushie on the floor. "This is your Chance, Voldemort. You have one chance to get back to life. After each death, you will have several more chances to return to life ONLY if you don't get killed by Potter's son there."

"Too late for that," Voldemort grumbled and he was struck on the head by Greg.

"Pay attention! When you grab the plushie, you will be returned to a state of spiritual existence. You'll have to find someone who'll resurrect you fully." Greg then turned to the pair of Potters. "You two are going to heaven. You, James, despite your homicidal tendencies towards Severus Snape have redeemed yourself enough to go to Heaven."

James pumped a hand into the air. "YES!"

"Your wife is going too. She on the other hand has a spotless record." Lily stuck a tongue out at James.

"Disgusting," remarked Voldemort as he grabbed the plushie.
