Compulsory Questions (0-5 points each): 
If you believe the answer to a question is a new character, 
write "new character" *and* describe relationships to old characters 
or characteristics of new character for full credit. 


1.	Who will be the most major character to die? 

Albus Dumbledore


2.	Who is the Half-Blood Prince? (If "The Old Lion Guy," 
describe more.) 

Severus Snape is the Half-Blood Prince. 
Part of the narrative is the resolution of the working and schoolboy
relationships 
between Snivellus and the boy who always breaks the rules.  


3.	What is Lily's big secret? (This question will be eliminated 
and full credit given to everyone if no big secret is revealed.) 

Lily was an Unspeakable who worked at the Department of Mysteries
had access to different spells and ancient magics. Lily also 
tranferred some knowledge and power to Harry through the GREEN EYES. 

4.	Who will be the new DADA teacher?  
	Mad Eye Moody. He has a soft spot for Harry, and gives some extra
tuition. 
 

5.	With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship? 
There will not be time for a full blown romance; too many issues on
Harry's mind. But as JKR told, what's life without a little romance on
the side? It will be a momentary flirtation with Ginny Weasley, the
hopscotch between boys champion.

Felix Felicius, the Old Lion Guy, is the new minister for Magic.

Predictions (0-10 points each): 
Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question 
section. "Negative" predictions, i.e., "The Centaurs will *not* come 
skipping into Hogwarts offering free pony rides," will receive no 
credit. Obvious predictions, i.e., "Harry will be in his 6th year at 
Hogwarts," will likewise receive no credit. 

1. Harry will have a dream communication from Sirius and locate the
Flying Motorbike. Harry will use this Motorbike to travel ~ and fly
back in time with Hermione (and possibly Ron) to Godrics Hollow
looking for a certain clue. 

2. Harry has some scrying power of his own. We will find that "some of
LV's powers transferred to Harry" and some form or another of
acquiring knowledge or information very similar to Legilmency or
indeed, legilimency itself, is one of these powers. As with
Parseltongue, Harry is unaware of having this power at the moment.

4. Moaning Myrtle has a clue on her grave or Tombstone. The Date is
critical. 

5. Charlie Weasley takes charge the Order's Defence (and defence of
Magic-kind as a whole)  and enlists Harry's skills as a chaser. Draco
Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus. 

6. The Dursleys will be menaced by Dementors during term, whilst Harry
is at Hogwarts. Petunia will do involuntary magic to protect Dudders
and her despicable husband. 

7. Harry will use the room of requirement to do something he badly
needs; to obtain protection from the inner essence of LV striking out
at DD when they meet and talk. 

8. The Twins stage a sell out and close down business to camoflage
making Magical Defensive Weapons for Harry and Co
