I liked 252 and 258 the best. I dunno, maybe I like it better if neither really wins. Either way, here's a little bunny idea of my own.

Darth Voldemort and apprentice Darth Voldenuit (guess who's who) and factor in typical Sith ascension.

I've said 'nuff, for everything else there's Duff. Duff, the beer fat guys drink.

I don't really understand the chapter title. There are only ten deaths... not 49.

As I've said at the beginning of the past few chapters, I add scenes to these chapters as ideas are sent to me or occur to me.   Once a chapter is at 50, I start the next chapter.

Another set of delightful musings on the End of Voldemort. Thanks for sharing!

Amusing...
I loved the mail bomb, the trick stair and the Necronomicron drabbles.

Just a quick question the chapter says 251 to 300 drabbles... so where's #263 to #300?

I take issue with number 256: "Due to his ignorance of all things muggle, Voldemort didn't realize [...] the propeller wasn't there."
Voldemort spent 11 years in a Muggle orphanage somewhere around the 1930s, the "golden era" of aviation. It is almost certain that he knew about propellers.

Crys replied:

Probably true.   There are many of these scenes that wouldn't work for one reason or another.

I'm writing humor / parody here, though.   I'm stretching and exagerating truth for humor.

Is it just me, or have rabid plot bunnies taken over Killer07? Having said that, they are VERY funny. COngratulations.

Crys replied:

I don't think it's just you.   The scary thing is that I'm only using something like half of what he sends me.

Glad you're enjoying.

As Harry helps Bill at a curse breaking in Egypt he finds an imprisoned Tok'ra and a Goa'uld hand device inclusive personal shield. Turns out that the shield even stops the 3 unforgivable.

I just had an idea inspired by a talk about terrorism that somehow mentioned the Unabomber. Perhaps you might want to include this after a bit of cleaning up?


Voldermort looked at the package delivered by the snowy white owl in surprise. He knew, from his spies, that this was Potter's owl. Being extremely suspicious, he began casting every detection spell he knew, but couldn't find a trace of magic on the package. Satisfied, he opened the package, which promptly exploded.
Thus, Voldemort became the first wizard to be killed by a muggle mail bomb, delivered via owl post.

The problem with Inferi is that you have to give them exact commands to carry out or you have a problem. As he gave the command to attack everyone that tries to get his hocrux he should have done one of two thinks a) not reach for it afterwards or b) put a simple exclusion of himself into this command. But unfortunately he forgot.

He'd done it.

Going beyond the mere stopgap measure of a Horcrux, Voldemort had achieved what he perceived to be true immortality. The prophecy had been fulfilled - Potter had died at his hand - and the Dark Lord had conquered the world, truly unstoppable.

Eventually, though, his followers died off. They'd killed off all the muggles, yes, and many witches and wizards besides. Inbreeding had taken its toll, and soon no humans were left - save one. Dark Lord Voldemort still reigned over the Earth. Alone. Bored.

Watching the sun itself fade, Voldemort looked forward to the heat-death of the universe.

(Not a funny one - but it's a possible end for him.)

I think my laughter over this story managed to scare even my desensitized family. Three ideas: Something involving the trick step in Gryffindor Tower. Voldemort seeing, say, Sailor Moon, and dying of terminal cuteness overload. And anything involving anyone from Discworld(I love those books!).

The bunnies just keep getting better and better. I'd love to see one with a Doctor Who crossover; either the Doctor himself or the Daleks (EXTERMINATE!) or the Cybermen (DELETE!). That would be a lot of fun.

Another possibility would be Voldemort thinks that muggle religion is just as stupid as the muggles themselves until a monk (or otherwise) performs an exorcism on him (before he's resurrected) and banishes him to Hell. I love the Voldemort getting confused by muggles bunnies. You've mentioned him getting pulled into jet engines in flight, but a variation might be on the ground, when he doesn't realize that just because you can't see the propellers doesn't mean they aren't there.

One last idea. I'm not sure if you've heard of the SCA, but it's a medieval reenactment group, complete with weapons and entire wars. If Voldemort apparated into Pennsic War (a war with over 13,000 attendees) and ended up in the middle of a melee, he might get beaten to death (the swords are solid wooden sticks) before anyone even noticed - that's why everyone wears some pretty solid armor and is not supposed to be an emaciated resurrected dude with neither sword nor shield. Of for that matter, some people in the group are into building their own working seige engines! Wrong place, wrong time, dead Voldie.

It had taken months. The stupid muggles didn't know what they had. What has slowed him so much was the magical protections placed around the object. The Muggles, oblivious to their very existance, had been no problem, but it had taken a long time to overcome the wards.

The wards themselves had been a confusing set of almost randomly placed magical protections. What Voldemort didn't know was that every wizard for the last hundred years that had found out what was in the library had placed their own set of protective wards around the structure.

And thus, night after night, Voldemort had chipped away at the wards around the library at Miskatonic University. And now he held the book in his hand. Bound in human skin, written in blood, there was no finer copy of this work in the world.

A week later, Wormtongue would find the Dark Lord still in his study, gibbering away. Nothing they could do would return his sanity (such as it was). He couldn't even feed himself. His only reaction to the outside world was when a Whip-o-will would call; the former Dark Lord would stop gibbering, curl into a fetal position, and shiver.

When the Death Eaters got tired of feeding him, Voldemort died of starvation.

With their Lord Dead, the Death Eaters decided to become a political party and through splintering and parlimentary wrangling, never achieved any of their ends.

Lucius Malfoy took one last shot of revenge at Harry Potter.

Harry Potter, Auror trainer, received a package one morning. Opening it, he found a strange, very old book. He opened the book, noting the smell of decay that seemed to surround it. On the first page, in hand written letters, was the word

Necronomicon

Voldemort plotted and pondered. Harry Potter had been missing for weeks, and according to his spies the Order has just as little idea of his location as he. This could be a problem in the long run, but the dark lord decided to get a bit of mayhem done in the meantime, while the Order was distracted chasing down leads as to its charge's whereabouts.

Just as he was about to call Wormtail to bring his latest orders to the Death Eaters at large, a sphere of light appeared in the middle of his study. Before he had time to react, the glow suddenly grew too bright to look at, then faded, leaving three figures in its wake.

Upon seeing the central figure, Voldemort couldn't help but laugh.

"Halloween isn't for another ten months, boy!" he exclaimed. Indeed, Harry Potter, for he was one of the three figures, was dressed oddly, in bronze greaves, sandals, crested helmet, leather breastplate, and, of all things, a metal-edged leather skirt! He held a spear in one hand and a tall shield in the other, and wore a short, straight sword at his side.

"And this isn't a costume," Harry responded. "I am a hoplite, a trained soldier of the Athenian tradition. Please allow me to introduce my trainer." He gestured to the woman on his right, a tall, regal woman, similarly attired, but with an odd sword with a concave curve to the blade. Her breastplate was of a slightly different shade and texture, as if it had come from a different kind of animal, and her shield was covered, and apparently lumpy under that cover. "This is my sister. Well, half-sister, anyway. You may call her Glaukopis."

"I thought you were an only child?"

"Yes, well... Perhaps you'd like to explain to him?" he asked the woman on his left.

"Of course, dear. You see, Mr. Riddle, the truth is that Lily Potter was incapable of bearing children. I made a deal with the Potters: James would conceive his heir with me, and the couple could raise him as their own. Imagine my surprise to see how things actually turned out."

"I see." Voldemort contemplated the tableau before him for a moment, trying to decide if he should continue their conversation for a little longer or if he should just kill them all now. He finally decided to ask the one burning question on his mind: "What does this have to do with dressing up like a hoplite?"

"Haven't you guessed?" Harry asked. "With all those purebloods around you, you haven't been exposed to the classics?"

"What do you mean the classi-" Voldemort stopped suddenly, remembering: When someone in the upper class said "classics," they meant Greece and Rome. Here he had a pair of people in the garb of Athenian soldiers. And what had he called his sister? Glaukopis? He made the connection, and a few others, and he froze.

"That's right," the regal warrior said, her voice one that could--and did--command armies. "I am Athene Glaukopis: Bright-Eyed Athena. And this is my mother."

"Harry is, indeed, my secondborn," said Harry's mother--Metis, Voldemort now knew. "Subject of a prophecy infinitely older than yours, Harry is the one who is mighty enough to be the end of Zeus himself."

"The power you know not... Well, Tom, it's the power you sought," Harry finished. "The power of a god. Now, I'm gonna make this quick; I've got to go kill my step-dad, and, quite frankly, you aren't even gonna be much of a warmup."

A little known fact is that you shouldn't overdo it with the dark magic usage if you have a phoenix feather wand core. The phoenix is a creature of the light and the wand core could suddenly turn on you. (And phoenix fire isn't really pleasant for a dark wizard...)

Personally, if I'd been Harry, when I was going off to meet Voldemort, I'd have brought him a present.

About five or six fully-grown mandrakes in a box, rigged so that when I opened the box, they'd all be pulled out at once. I'd be wearing earplugs...but the Death Nibblers wouldn't, now, would they?

Crys replied:

Something very similar has already been done.   See scene #40.

Thanks for the idea, anyway.
