Now Peg:

Lorel, I like your idea a lot!  I've seen others comment on how F&G 
might have known the outcome of the Cup match before it happened 
(that *is* an odd sort of bet), but I wasn't really convinced that a 
time turner was the answer.  That's because the terrible two were 
supposed to be with Arthur, getting firewood, while the others were 
getting water.  I always thought that escaping from their Dad, using 
the time-turner to go to the future to see the end of the match, and 
then calculating their re-entry into the timestream before the match 
without Arthur noticing anything would be pretty tricky.  Not that 
they aren't tricky,  but I don't see them as taking unnecessary risks.

I like the idea that they've invented something that's a little 
better--something that allows them to peek ahead without actually 
violating wizarding law or risking themselves unnecessarily.

  They strike me as the types to take very calculated risks.  They 
aren't reckless, they're not stupid, and, as we saw in OOTP, they are 
very skilled wizards.

If they have a new toy that let's them see into the future by even a 
few hours it may turn out to be a vital part of the defense in the 
war against LV.
