pages or any summary of them." (Wyzdyx.) I was, in fact, unaware
that any such material was circulating until I saw Tigerpatronus's
post about it.

or less than seven, write "n/a" or add extra letters as necessary.
Horcruxes in previous books and previously inactivated Horcruxes

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.)

Predictions (10 points each / 50 points total):

Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question
section.

1. Harry will return to school because he needs N.E.W.T.s to
become an auror, but he will be absent most of the time.

2. Harry will continue to study with Albus Dumbledore via the
Pensieve memories.

3. We will find out that 2 Hogwarts staff members were married
to each other, but kept it secret for security reasons...I think
it was Dumbledore and McGonagall--both Gryffindors, both
transfiguration teachers who became headmaster  / headmistress
of Hogwarts.

4. Snape did not kill Dumbledore; Dumbledore is dead,
nevertheless.

5. Wizards from Beaubatons and Durmstrang, the Merpeople, the
house elves, the goblins, and the centaurs will rally behind
Harry, not the Ministry of Magic, to defeat Voldemort.

6. With Draco missing (and her acne cleared up) Eloise Midgen
will elope with Pansy Parkinson.
