That depends on what you call "high".
Whether or not you consider it high, the current is the same all the way around a series circuit.
A device with a low resistive load will produce a high current in a series circuit.
A device with a low resistive load will produce a high current in a series circuit.
In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.
When you have multiple loads in a series, the resistance of the loads is added together allowing very little current to flow through the circuit to power any of the loads, making for a low amperage circuit. If you have your loads in parellel, the resistance of the loads in the circuit is subtracted which allows more current to flow, making for a high amperage circuit.
The voltmeter is connected parallel to the circuit in order to measure the voltage drop across that circuit or sub-circuit. If you were to connect the volmeter series to the circuit, since it is a high impedance device, it would represent an effective open-circuit condition. You would see the voltage available to the circuit, but the circuit would not receive its intended current and it would not function. Contrast this with the ammeter, which you do place series to the circuit in order to measure the current flow through the circuit.

The current in a short circuit may be very high because the resistance in the short circuit is probably less than the resistance in the original circuit.
When the current flowing in a circuit is very small the resistance will be very high.
Maximum.
You do use an ammeter in series. It has a very low resistance, which according to ohms law, makes it ideal for measuring current. You do not use a volt meter in series, as it has a very HIGH resistance and would not allow current to flow. You measure the voltage across a component (or components), and current through a circuit.
A fuse protects the (expensive) circuit for too high currents. When the current becomes too high the (cheap) fuse melts and the current is stopped, preferably before damage has been done to the circuit.
The movement of electron towards the high potential causes electric current to flow in a circuit.
