Well, when I read poisoned honey, one person popped immediately into 
my head:

Fleur Delacour 


She is very sweet, she has said she would like to return to England 
and she attracts men like a flower (flower=fleur=honey) attracts 
butterflies and bees. If her honey is poisoned it can only mean she 
is ever so evil. Or maybe she is just her bitchy self.

Clio, who had hoped that Fleur would NOT be the new DADA teacher.
