Ten Things I Want for My Birthday

[joywitch_m_curmudgeon]

JKR has clearly known the basic outline of the plot of the entire 
series from the start.  So, in books 6 and 7 we will clearly find the 
answers to the various big mysteries about Voldemort, Snape, Harry, 
etc. that we have been speculating about all along.  But she also 
clearly invents the small bits as she goes along, and she just as 
clearly has already put in certain details in reaction to fans 
comments (e.g., Hermione's explaining how to pronounce her name to 
Krum).  

So, Jo, I am officially requesting of you add the following details 
to the last two books, just to make me happy.  Consider it 13 year's 
worth of birthday presents:

1.  The McGonagall/Hootch ship!  (Just mention that they live 
together, that's all I ask.)
2.  Percy Weasley finally comes to realize what a jerk he is; returns 
home; Molly smacks him upside his head and makes him live in the 
attic with the ghoul.
3.  Arthur Weasley gets a promotion, a raise, and – most importantly –
 a bigger office.
4.  Hagrid gets an honorary degree making him a fully qualified 
wizard; then he gets a new wand and stops carrying around that pink 
umbrella.
5.  Lucius Malfoy goes straight to jail.  He does not pass go, does 
not collect $200, does not escape, does not hire Johnnie Cochrane to 
get him off.  He does not in ANY WAY wheedle out of paying for his 
crimes and rots in Azkaban FOREVER.
6.  Harry and Hermione become Head Boy and Head Girl.
7.  No polyjuice.  None whatsoever.  Not even a mention.
8.  Harry gets an offer to play Quidditch for England after 
graduation.
9.  Fudge is forced to resign in disgrace and is replaced by Kingsley 
Shacklebolt.
10.  We find out what some of us have know all along – that Snape IS 
a vampire.
