(OK; for the fourth time in the ongoing series) But D knew it was 
coming! He had engineered that way. What he didn't see was the 
Portkey!Cup (why else, I insist, would Cedric be the only back-up Harry 
has in the graveyard scene?). Harry is supposed to be safe from 
Voldemort both in Hogwarts and with the Dursleys, and for short periods 
with other wizards. The fact that the graveyard scene demonstrates that 
Harry *wasn't* safe in Hogwarts is something that, I think, Dumbledore 
hadn't thought of (but which I hope he will include in his plans from 
now on). Thinking about it, I think that part of Dumbledore's spy 
network is Moody himslef, which is why this time Dumbledore was caught 
off-guard.

Bertha and Cedric are errors which Dumbledore didn't intend to happen. 
But it's difficult to protect the entire Wiwzard Nation while allowing 
them to be free (if you take their liberty, you're not better than 
Voldemort). This is a war, and people *do* die in wars. I'm sure that 
Dumbledore, if he had been able to do something, would have saved their 
lives. But he's not omnipotent, nor is he omniscient.

Then, I'll see you whenever you've got free time. Getting here is easy: 
North from Theory bay, for a few days and when you reach the frozen 
lands of the eternal snow, listen to my howl and follow it. Don't 
forget to pack winter clothes!

Hope that helps,

Grey Wolf
