My goodness!  When you guys make a prediction, you really *make a 
prediction,* don't you?  Wow!

First there was this from Amy about dear Lupin:


>He will kill himself.  But why I hear you cry!  What could Lupin 
>possible do that would make him commit harri-karri.  Well ladies and 
>gentlemen of the jury, Lupin is going to eat Denis Creevey.

<sprays coffee all over computer screen>

Whoa!

I have *never* heard *that* prediction before.  Dang!  I'm  . . . I'm 
speechless.  And feeling a little bit sick, honestly.

Tell us, Amy.  Is Lupin going to rip little Denis Creevey limb from 
limb right there in the main dining room, or will this bit of 
bloodletting take place deep within the darkest regions of the 
Forbidden Forest?  ;-)

Eileen, however, predicted the following:

>People who are tired die. It's a literary
>convention.

Hmmmm.  Very interesting.  I've seen this prediction associated with 
Dumbledore, but this is definitely taking it to the next level.

The problem, though, is that JKR doesn't seem to go that route when 
she rubs someone out.  James and Lily weren't fatigued.  Crouch Sr. 
and Cedric weren't characterized as short on beauty sleep.  I dunno, 
Eileen.  It could happen.  Seems a little risky to me, but hey, it's 
your one prediction.

Cindy -- who will keep drinking coffee so that she remains alert 
enough to survive in Eileen's world
