:)  We're so morbid. JKR tells us someone's going to eat it and we just can't 
mask our excitement.

But I have a pseudo-happy pair of predictions. Well, not happy. The first one 
isn't completely bloody, at least.  ;)

My two predictions are:

1.
Krum and Hermione will have a slightly more complicated relationship, and it 
will parallel the relationship (as I said once before) between the Von Trapp 
girl and Rolf, the Nazi, from "The Sound of Music." I don't have my Galleons on 
Krum for the death, though. I see Hermione being unrealistic at first about 
Krum's true allegiance. Though Krum will sincerely care for Hermione, he won't 
be able to stop becoming a Death Eater. Ron and Harry will warn Hermione, and 
she won't believe them at first. She'll think Ron's just jealous and Harry's 
just sticking up for his heart-broken friend. By the end of the book, 
Hermione'll have to accept that Krum's on the wrong side of the fight and their 
relationship will end.

2. 
Oh. And I predict that Percy Weasley dies.  :)  Or Hagrid. But I'll place my 
Galleons on Percy, because Hagrid ought not to have *too* many of us voting 
against him.  :) 

There, now.  :)  I've joined the morbid masses.
