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?
