A/N: OK everyone.....I just saw found this in an old
newspaper. ^_^ It's kinda
dumb....but I thought it was cute. It's for something
useless. ^_^ Please
review......PLEASE?!?!?!?!?! I'm begging!!!!!!!!


"The Third Party"


Scowling in his own private quarters the arch-villain
and his smarmy henchmen
are plotting on how to kill our hero. They all stand
in a circle around their
master with spontaneous gaps where others should be,
because as we all know,
evil people are too busy laughing their maniacal
laughter to see that these
spaces could easily be rectified by making a smaller
circle. The evil one
cleared his throat and looked at his followers....

"I have a plan....."

One of his followers spoke from inside the circle.

"What is it, O great master?"

Lord Voldemort smiled evilly.....

"Why try force to take over the world....when it can
simply be handed to me?"

The crowd of deatheaters merely looked at each other
in confusion....


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"This was a great idea, Herm," said our hero.


Our three heroes were unpacking their clothes from
their suitcases. Hermione,
Ron, and Harry had decided to spend a week in
America....well, actually Hermione
had planned to spend a week there and had sucked Harry
and Ron into coming along
with her. She wanted to do some research on the
difference between the wizarding
schools of the world. After last year, when they had
met the students from
Beauxbatons and from Durmstrang, she was even more
interested. SO, first stop,
was the Salem Witches Institute.

"Yeah.....really. I mean, think about it, TWO WEEKS,
away from lessons,
detention, and most of all, SNAPE!" said Ron,
cheerfully.

"I told you," said Hermione, "Not only is it a good
idea for us to become
familiar with the other wizarding schools around the
country BUT now you can see
some Muggle things, Ron."

"Yeah....I guess so. Hey! What's this?" Ron asked

Harry and Hermione looked over to where he was
pointing. He was pointing towards
a television set. Hermione went over to explain it to
him.

"This is a television set. You turn it on and it plays
movies, and you sit and
stare at them dumbfounded for hours at a time," said
Hermione, with a hint of
annoyance in her voice.

"ReallY? COOL!" said Ron, "How do you turn it on?"

Hermione, annoyed, turned it on for him and went back
to her unpacking. There
wasn't much on. A commercial for a restaraunt owned by
some King...and served
Burger's....and it came with a toy that was made by
the lowest bidder...but
other than that not much.

"Hey, Ron?"

"Huh?"

"Wanna sandwich? Hermione's just made some,"

"Sure,"

Ron then went with Harry to the small kitchenette and
they all sat down to eat.
There was a comfortable silence surrounding the three
of them and as they sat
there eating. Hermione's ears pricked up.

"Hey Ron?"
"Yeah?" he said, looking up from his sandwich.
"Did you leave the tv on?"

Ron froze and listened intently.

"Oh, yeah...I guess I did,"

He got up to go and turn it off. Then, upon exiting
the room he yelled for Harry
and Hermione once more.

"Harry? Hermione? Will you come here please?"

The two looked at each other and shrugging went to go
see what it was that Ron
had had to call them. He was pointing towards the tv.

"What's that?"

There was a picture of several men on the tv and there
was a voice over.

"The future of America is in your hands...."

Hermione piped up, "Oh! That's an American campaign
commercial. You know that
the election's in a few months, right?"

"Who are you going to vote for?"

Harry was watching this intently as he had never seen
a campaign commercial
before....and neither had Ron nor Hermione.

"A Republican lightweight from Texas?
Or a Democratic stiff from Tennessee?
Finally, there's a third option.
A candidate for the people, by the people
A candidate with charm and magic to make things
happen...



VOTE LORD VOLDEMORT!!!!!!"

It was impossible to determine at the time......just
who fainted first but the
next thing that was heard was THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
Then, Mr. I'm-Big-And-Bad
came onto the tv in an Armani suit and sunglasses with
the picture of an
American and British flag in the background and spoke,

"Why choose the lesser evil?"



to be continued......

A/N: I KNOW! I KNOW! Pointless.....but I couldn't

Meadows" by Frank Cho.
(It's a REAL cartoon! It was in the paper!) ^_^ Just a
little thingy that was in
the back of my head. Thankx for reading...and please
