Susanna (who thinks that Fawkes would make an ideal
pet for Ms. M. Barnett)
And I'm writing: First off, thanks, I'd like a cool pet like
Fawkes ... all I have rightn ow is a silly cat who has a nasty habvit
of leaving hairballs EVERY BLOODY WHERE!!! <sigh> But I digress ...
Ok, I think I'm ok with the sometimes you have to have a timer on a
portkey so loads of people don't land on each other theory (damn it,
I was hoping to have my own flint, but I guess that was asking too
much <grin>), but what would Voldie, well Wormtail, since he was the
only one with a usable body at the time, have done if the big spider
that was the last thing Harry and Cedric had to deal with
accidentally touched the cup with one of those big, long nasty ugly ,
ok I'm freaking myself outhere, I'm a severe arachnaphobe, and got
transported to the graveyard.
I know Moody/Crouch, Jr. was patrolling the outside of the maze, he
says so himself, but was he there watching when Harry and Cedric both
touched the cup. If so, why didn't he perform some kind of
Jinx/curse/spell that froze Cedric the instant he was supposed to
touch the cup and thereby having only Harry touching the cup, which
is what he wanted inthe first place?
Was Little Barty slacking on his work for the Dark Lord or did all
this happen too quickly? When I read it, it seemed like it was
taking forever ... I was anxious to see what the chapter
titles, "Flesh and Bone" and the ensuing, were all about.
More questions ... are there more answers? :)
