My Potter questions (spoilers)
This is what I'm still wondering.

Are Fred and George in any particular danger because their business is basically profiting from the war? (Those are the things that are walking off the shelves in the scene in the joke shop). We know that they sold that stuff to Malfoy and the Death Eaters used it against the D.A.

What is Harry going to find at his parents' house? Are there clues to one of the horcruxes there?

What is the deal with Rufus Scrimgeour? Why did she make the new minister almost as bad as Fudge?

Who will Lavender Brown end up with in the end? (j/k)

What do you think?

1. Scrimgeour...
At Slughorn's Christmas party, Luna said that Scrimgeour was former head of the MoM's auror's dept., and that the auror's were trying to overthrow the Ministry with Dark Magic. Of course 99.9% of what comes out of Luna's mouth is, well, Loony, but she was right about the thestralls and everyone thought she was nuts. And Scrimgeour doesn't seem to have any problem with Umbridge still working for the Ministry in spite of the fact that her bollocky ways endangered Hogwarts the previous year. So maybe Loony Luna is right once a book?

2. Luna
Didn't Luna also mention that Scrimgeour was a vampire?

3. DD's funeral was during the day....
so another Luna prediction gone wrong ;). I love Luna and especially like the fact that she feels no compulsion to conform to others opinions. Unlike Ron & Hermione...

That Sanguini character with the Slughard was all bout the vampire thing. But, interesting the werewolf, Greybeck (sp) stopped behaving like a werewolf and like a full sociopath intent on destruction. The animal version of Voldy.

6. Well, like I said,
Edited on Wed Jul-20-05 11:39 AM by intheflow
she's nutty the vast majority of the time. But every now and again her father's mag might stumble upon a smidgen of truth. There was a reason DD didn't trust Scrimgeour, and it may be beyond mere politics.

fwiw :shrug:

9. With all the snogging in the book
the gum disease theory may hold water.

12. LOL...
But kissing actually produces saliva, which means snogging is GREAT for your teeth and gums. :evilgrin:

If she was a complete puff piece she'd be in Hufflepuff, wouldn't she? :puffpiece:
