I working on a fanfic for a possible summer session and would
appreciate feedback.
I'm rereading Goblet of Fire Ch. 13 & 14 about Harry and Ron's extra
homework after the 'Uranus' joke. (I read a few posts earlier about
Ron and Harry being seers, but couldn't find the posts today) In
homework for 'A detailed analysis of the way planatary movements in
the coming month will affect you'. Ron suggests the 'divination
standby' and says to 'put in loads of misery, she'll (Tralawney)lap
it up!"
In the course of 'making up' predictions, Harry and Ron have danger
of being burned, lose a treasured possession, get stabbed in the back
by a friend, come off worse in a fight' As they finished predictions
for a month, Hermione has them in dangers of drowning twice. AND BY
THE END OF GofF, almost all those come true!
I'm wondering what all of the left out predictions were. Possibly the
return of an escaped convict(Sirius), the rise of Voldemort, the
betrayal by a trusted teacher (aimed at Snape but realized in Moody),
and maybe even something unbelievable at the time of Harry winning
the Triwizard Tournament and the prize money going to Ron's family.
My FanFic has Hogwarts calling a summer session after GofF with
McGonagall's cover story of preparing for OWL's but actually to skill
everyone in DADA for the coming battle. So far I have Nevile doing
special work in Herbology and at a crucial point in the battle he
might trap a Deatheater in the greenhouse and knock them out by
depotting an immature mandrake.
I have Krum coming to Hogwarts as a new Quidditch coach. (Harry and
Dumbledore testified on his innocence concerning Karkaroff and his
use of Crucio). Krum would be training all houses in levels of jr
varsity and developing a school team for interschool competition with
Durnstrang, Beauxbaton, and possibly other schools.
The new DADA teacher, Arabella Figg, trains the HRH trio as well as
Ginny and Neville in Patronus and a few other needed charms. (After
stunning Harry into speechlessness when he discovers his babysitter,
the old lady with all the cats, was a high-level witch!)
Snape and Hagrid are away on private missions, but Figg teachs a
short seminar on potions in addition to DADA. She helps some of the
Griffindor's (Ron and Neville) improve so much that Snape has to
rethink his teaching methods. A seminar on Care of Magical Creatures
with a stress on exotic creatures is presented by a visiting half-
Veela teacher's assistant.
I have Ginny doing divination work after dreams of rats and Sirius
Black (they still haven't told her about Scabbers) Worse, Tralawney
brings out Harry and Rons faked & forgotten homework as evidence that
they are true seers and convinces Dumbledore that both should have
extra training with them. As Ron wants desperately to play Quiditch
AND spend tine with Fleur and now finds himself with as many classes
as Hermione.
So feedback?
