clincher is that JKR always has Hermione being right except when 
excited and Ron always being wrong except when joking.  Ron joked 
about Gryffindor having as much chance of wining the Quidditch cup 
as his dad becoming MoM.  Gryffindor won and so will the long shot 
Weasley.

Bookworm:
For what it's worth, here's my prediction: Arthur Weasley will 
become Minister eventually, but not in book 6.  Or not until the end 
of it.

"The dementors have left Azkaban," said Malfoy quietly. "Dad and the 
others'll be out in no time...."

"Yeah, I expect they will," said Harry. "Still, at least everyone 
knows what scumbags they are now – "  (OoP, ch38, p851 US)

Will they really? Or will clever, conniving, sneaky Lucius put his 
own spin on things and stage a coup at the Ministry? Notice how 
Draco said it - quietly. Not bragging, not shouting, not defiant. 
Just quiet assurance.
