"I hereby certify that I have not read any spoilers"
Mike grasps Roberta's hand'
> A thin tongue of brilliant flame issued from TigerPatronus's wand
and winds its way around Roberta's [and Mike's] hands like a red-hot
wire.

f. Transfiguration Instructor? Fleur Delacour-Weasley
9. Where do Snape's ultimate loyalties lie?
With the side against Voldemort which doesn't make him truly
Dumbledore's Man. But he looks that way for all intents and purposes.
10. Identify the seven Horcruxes. (If you think there are more or
less than seven, write "n/a" or add extra letters as necessary.
Horcruxes in previous books and previously inactivated Horcruxes
must be identified for full credit. If you think one of the soul
pieces is in Voldemort so there are six external Horcruxes plus the
bit still in him, then write "In Voldemort" for one of the answers.)
a. In Voldemort
b. Diary
c. Ring
d. Locket (from Grimmauld Place)
e. Hufflepuff cup
f. Ravenclaw's Wand which used to be in Olivander's window
g. In Harry, but not encased as the other Horcruxes, it's in him
accidentally and likes it there. :)
In case Hogwarts does not reopen, or in case we do not have
sufficient information to answer #5 and #8 above, these two
alternate questions will used in place of #5 and #8, above. If #5
and #8 are sufficiently answered in DH, the alternate questions will
be used as tiebreakers.
Alternate 1. What are Snape's patronus and boggart?
Patronus: Phoenix, now
Boggart: A Voldemort that knows he's not a true DE
Alternate 2. What is behind the locked door at the Department of
Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic?
The *Power* of Love in all it's goodness, desperate love, love
spurned. In other words, things that make it the most powerful
emotion a wizard can draw upon for magical production.
Predictions (10 points each / 50 points total):
Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question section.
1. Snape has his own personal reasons to hate Voldemort. One or both
of his parents was/were killed by Voldemort, or more likely the DEs.
Because of that, he joined the DEs with the intention of causing
Voldemort's downfall, he was never a loyal DE. When the prophesy
happened, he had already decided to join forces with Dumbledore.
2. Because of the above, Snape only reported the first two lines of
the prophesy to Voldemort by agreement with Dumbledore. He had not
really heard any of the prophesy, but Dumbledore implanted the first
two sentences from his memory to be sure that if Voldemort cracked
through the young Severus' Occlumency, he would only get what was
agreed to release to him. BTW, prophesy night was Holloween 1979, the
same night Harry was conceived.
3. Dumbledore knowingly allowed the release of the prophesy, with
Snape, though he knew Voldemort would likely act upon it and go after
*some* wizarding family, which one he didn't know. When he realized
it was the Potters he tried to backtrack and protect them to no
avail. All Dumbledore's gnashing and agonizing in the cave from the
green goo was him reliving his decision and wanting Voldemort to take
him instead.
4. Harry will have destroyed 2 of the 4 (he find's SS's locket from
Grimmauld Place and somehow HH's cup) remaining Horcruxes when he
realizes he has no clue where to find the remaining two. He gets the
idea to visit the Mirror of Erised and think about finding the
remaining Horcruxes, where to find them. First the Mirror shows him
Voldemort and he doesn't understand. He doesn't know that Voldemort
has RR's wand. Ron figures this one out for him. Then the Mirror
shows Harry himself and he still doesn't get it. He doesn't
understand that a piece of Voldemort is inside him. Hermione figures
this one out for him.
5. In the final Showdown, Harry uses his stag Patronus to drive the
Dementors to Voldemort. They crush in upon Voldemort and attempt to
suck out his soul. While Voldie is occupied with the Dementors,
concentrating on his Occlumency to keep them from draining him,
Kreacher sneaks in and snatches LV's wand and breaks it. The wand was
RR's and a Horcrux and the force released from breaking the Horcrux
seal kills Kreacher. Harry uses the spell that Dumbledore threw at LV
in the MoM fight (the one that made a gong sound when it hit LV's
shield) and LV has no wand to deflect it. This spell changes Voldie
from evil to good, or tries to. But Voldie's fractured soul can't
take the power of this spell and Voldie dies from it.
And since I can't resist,
6. Bellatrix will try to capture Harry and bring him to LV. She will
have the upper hand when Neville comes to the rescue and disarms her.
Then Neville will hit Bella with a Crucio, but since unlike Harry,
Neville will *want* to cause pain and this Crucio will be very
powerful and cause Bella more discomfort than she has ever
experienced in her life. Harry will have to call off Neville to keep
him from doing to Bella what she did to his parents.
