Wondering if there is  any significance to Percy's silver sickle being 
the only charm mentioned  in SS at the Christmas tea.  I was unable to 
determine their  symbolism although I assume it is related to the 
harvest.  The charms  in the Plum pudding are considered lucky and 
fortunes for the person who  finds one in their slice.



================================
Sherrie here:
 
This is from www.oldsuperstitions.com/index.php?query=wedding:
 
"When making Christmas pudding, drop into a silver coin, a thimble, and a  
ring. He who is served the coin finds luck, he who retrieves the thimble brings  
himself prosperity, and he who comes up with the ring hastens a wedding in 
his  family."
 
So Percy finds the silver Sickle, meaning luck - and so far, he's had it,  
managing to dodge the bullet on the Crouch thing, even getting promoted.   Will 
it last?  :::insert suspenseful music here:::
