My problem with this is that F&G are pretty fair players- they have a sense of 
fairness and honesty (well, not-cheating honesty, at least-even when 
Slytherin cheats at Quidditch, they don't cheat to retaliate). Peeking ahead 
with a time turner or otherwise would be cheating, and thus putting them on 
the same level as Bagman. I can't see them doggedly pursuing Bagman (who 
WAS a cheater) if they were guilty of a similar offense. Besides, they wouldn't 
have much of a case against Bagman if it came out that they cheated. F&G 
may be a lot of things, but not cheaters."

Thank you for posting that.  F&G are a lot of things (including two of my favourite characters so I hope we still get to see quite a bit of them in the next two books) but they are not dishonest in this way.  

Someone posted that maybe they will take over Honeydukes in Hogsmeade and so be closer to Hogwarts to help in the upcoming war.  I don't think Ron could stand that.  They'd have to take over the Zonko's premises so Ron can still get his fix of sweets. ;-)
