  *peeks out of dark hole* I am no longer lurking... *stretches 
out in sun light* Ok then... Everyone has been putting in their 2 
cents, and now it feels right to share what I have a little 
knowledge of... 

  I think Cornelius Fudge will be killed, possibly Arthur Weasley, 
and then Percy. But not necessarily Arthur and Percy, it turns into 
an 'either or' situation. Here's why:  Mr. Malfoy (Lucius, that is) 
has a lot of hold over the Wizarding Community, and he will be put 
in charge of the MoM mostly because of his cash, and that a lot of 
people fear him (and let's not forget where his name possibly comes 
from *see below). Arthur Weasley will be doing some important under 
cover work for Dumbledore's gang.  

  In order to stop all that he kills Arthur... (oh yeah, and Fudge) 
now hear me out. Let's look at the name of this character that JKR 
has put into her world... 

  Lucius: Saint Pope Lucius I, became Pope when the exiled Saint 
Cornelius died... moving on...  

   -I think Fudge will die / be killed and Lucius will be put in 
charge of MoM. Him being put in charge will probably be where 
the 'Percy death-in-question' will come into play.

   -And on Arthur... we like him... JKR wants us to like him (She 
did the same thing with Cedric) and then he dies at the hands 
of evil. 

  Percy's obsession with the MoM... good call. I think his opinion 
will be clouded by what is right, and what is written in the rule 
book. He's very adhesive to rules, and following policy. He could 
die because of something related to that. BUT he could also turn 
against his family, and that's 'like' dying... isn't it? Anyone 
remember the tale of Perceval and the Holy Grail??  

  However, I am really leery about that silver hand, and I worry 
about Lupin. Considering that silver does kill a werewolf... *wince* 
ooohh that one could end up messy. *shudders*

  Well, that's it for me for now. It's late, ta for now!
