"Oh, dear," Serena sighed, "I think you've misunderstood my theory."

Portia, Cindy, and Derannimer stare at her expectantly.

"Well, the theory doesn't depend so much on Ron's Qudditch skills.  I 
think that has been debated ad naseum.  Though if you must know my 
thoughts on the matter, I tend to agree with you Portia."

Portia gets a big grin on her face.

"But that's beside the point," Serena continues, "The point of my 
theory is that Harry isn't on team, if only for a game.  Maybe 
Snape 'arranges' some sort of academic suspension for him or 
something to try and give Slytherin an advantage. So he has to sit 
and watch on the sidelines.  It reverses their roles for a bit.  Then 
if you stretch it a bit and Ron rubs the situation in Harry's face, 
you get another rift like the one in GoF."

"I don't know," Cindy says, "That still seems rather far fetched."

"Of course it does," Serena replies, "I may have a million theories, 
but very few of them are any good.  That's why I rarely bother to 
defend them."

"Then why are you defending this one?" Derannimer asks.

"I'm not.  I'm clarifying it.  I don't want this to turn into another 
long thread on Ron's Qudditch skills and magical prowess.  That 
wasn't the point and it's been pretty much debated to death."

"So maybe you'd like to share one of your good ones with us?" Cindy 
asks.

"I already did.  The reverse FITD.   It's brilliance lies in the fact 
that on the surface it looks like a SHIP theory, but really it leads 
to a possible cause of a really big rift in the trio.  If Ron and 
Hermione get together, and Harry likes Hermione, what effect will 
have on the trio?"

"But FITD has the same sort of possibilities," Derannimer adds.

"It does," Serena replies, "But in my mind the Reverse FITD is more 
cannon based."

"Well, like I said, we'll have to think about this," Cindy says.

"Of course, take your time.  Remember, I like people to think about 
my theories and debate them!" Serena replies cheerily, "Anyways, I'm 
off to go have a root beer."

"Uh oh," Cindy and Derannimer mutter in unison.
