Voldemort speaking: " 'The dementors will join us...they are our 
natural allies...we will recall the banished giants... I shall have 
all my devoted servants returned to me, and an army of creatures whom 
all fear.' "

OOP, ch. 5, pg. 92, American edition
" 'Well, firstly he wants to build up his army again,' said 
Sirius. 'In the old days he had huge numbers at his command; witches 
and wizards he'd bullied or bewitched into following him, his 
faithful Death Eaters, a great variety of Dark Creatures. You heard 
him planning to recruit the giants; well, they'll be just one group 
he's after.'"

Hm-m-m-m. Heliopaths, anyone? 

It could be argued that Fudge is in cohoots with Voldemort, hiding 
the heliopaths in the Department of Mysteries for him until 
Voldemort's return to power -- but I don't think that is the case. As 
Sirius tells Harry (OOP, pg. 302), " 'Yes, but the world isn't split 
into good people and Death Eaters.' " 

I think Fudge is evil through and through and is his own little world 
of nasty. Unfortunately, he is also stupid on top of that. I think he 
THOUGHT he had the dementors -- and, the heliopaths -- under his 
command and control -- and is probably getting more horrified by the 
day that if the dementors betrayed him, the heliopaths might do so as 
well.


Enter our hero, Hagrid. He is the Care of Magical Creatures expert 
who loves all creatures, but the darker, the better. I was a bit 
disappointed with Hagrid's falling-out with the centaurs in OOP; I 
saw him as a bit of a Pan, able to communicate and get along with all 
creatures of the wood, at all times. In any event, I still believe 
that it will be his affinity with the dark creatures that will enable 
him to "save the day" in coming books even if he has to pay the 
ultimate sacrifice. Just as Sirius dying in battle was the fitting 
way for him to go, Hagrid dying in the effort to protect his 
creatures would be sadly poetic.

And -- for the heliopaths to take a little stroll across Fudge or the 
dementors to give him a lil' kissy--now, THERE's poetry. Especially 
if Umbridge is there with him at the time.


Ghoulishly yours,
Bohcoo
