Perhaps, perhaps... although why would the Order of the Phoenix be 
meeting in a house that looked like it was owned by an uber-dark 
wizard?

This is clearly the first time that Harry sees Ron and Hermione 
after the end of GoF, because there's mention of changes in Ron's 
appearance during their time away from each other. So, the first 
time Harry sees them after GoF, it's because Mrs. Weasley (alone) is 
bringing him to a deserted, dark-looking house with snake heads for 
doorknobs. She takes him to the second floor, tells him to go in a 
certain door, and then leaves in a hurry, muttering to herself.

She doesn't entirely seem herself. Why does she have to be off so 
quickly? And why is she leaving those kids alone in a freaky house? 
And why does she seem to know about this house, too?

I want to know what Dumbledore told Ron and Hermione not to tell 
Harry, and why their summer correspondence wasn't worth anything 
much.

So, they can't throw Harry out of school? Uh-oh. So it begins.

I think my sanity is going to continue to leak out of my head, bit 
by bit, until next Friday. Note to self: should probably invest in 
corks for my ears to prevent that from happening.

-Tom, who will be in line at midnight on the 21st, who will go home 
with lots (and lots) of coffee, and who will probably not sleep 
until he's read OOP all the way through.
