All good thoughts! 

Another that someone mentioned on another site was the possibility of a wedding. 
Whoohoo! The one that was suggested blew my mind: Mme. Maxime and Hagrid! 

Can you imagine the size of the cake! We'd better hope that none of our young friends get 
injured when they toss the bouquet/garter!

Any other possible nuptials? Bill/Fleur? Fudge/Umbridge? (Just kidding)
