Some predictions before I go

No: HPFGUIDX 43158

In a shameless attempt to keep this canon-related, I will write a few 
predictions for how the series will turn out before I leave a 
personal message.

Soon-to-be RIP or SS (Sans Soul, AKA Dementorized)

* Hagrid 
* At least two of the nine Weasleys
* Fudge
* Narcissa Malfoy (fits with my Snape and Narcissa Sitting in a Tree 
theory)
* Lupin (note, I don't pick a side)
* A Dursley
* Of course... Voldemort and most of the DEs.
* Draco (one can only hope)

Random predictions:

* Harry lives, marries a girl we haven't met yet, and leaves England
* Hermione becomes Headmistress of Hogwarts, marries Ron
* Ron becomes Minister of Muggle Affairs
* Percy betrays, repents, and is accepted back.
* Snape finally pays off his debt to Dumbledore, leaves Hogwarts 
altogther and moves to Eastern Europe to perfect his cure for 
vampirism. Becomes so famous for his work on the cure and his role in 
the fall of Voldemort that he gets his own wizard card.
* Dumbledore retires in peace
* Norbert the Dragon has some role in the climax
* Neville becomes Herbology teacher AND Head of Gryffindor House
* The Twins have children of their own who put them through as much 
grief as they have put Molly and Arthur through.

OK, I think that's enough.

As I've told others in personal notes, I am taking an indefinite, 
perhaps permanent leave from the site. No, I'm not being thrown out 
for my recent stridency, though I wonder how far ahead of the hounds 
I am. :)

Seriously, I apologize to those I've offended with my vehemence and 
ask their forgiveness. 

My workload has doubled recently, and other events in my life have 
cut into my personal time. I simply have to cut certain things out 
because I cannot devote the time I feel is required.

So, thank you for complimenting my corny taglines, or my constant 
search for band names, and my acronyms, filks, and vigorous attempts 
to keep those Gryffindors from getting too bad a name. 



Take care,
Darrin Burnett
