| Attempted murder? A couple of teenagers in a sheet?
| That's attempted murder? That's a novel interpretation.

[Lee]:
I can sorta see Dar's point, Kneasy.  Draco knew how the dementors affected
Harry; he'd seen the crash and tumble Harry took when the dementors had come
into the stadium.

I'm sure he's not aware that Harry's learning Patronus; the practical joke,
if you will, was designed to do, at least, serious injury, which could have
possibly resulted in Harry's demise.  Fortunately, Harry did manage a
whopping Patronus which exposed the pranksters and the pranksters were
reprimanded and punished.

Okay, let's say that Harry hadn't learned the Patronus; Draco and company
did their dementor thing and Harry fell, and let's say that staff, referee,
etc. couldn't act fast enough... But, fortunately, that didn't happen, and
so we have more HP books. <Grin>

Cheers,

Lee :-)
