I must admit that I do get excited when i see that lizzyben has posted
a message some where. Being new to HP4GU, i am slowly finding
favorites among the posters.

Anyways. I am really surprised this message hasn't just taken off. But
i do have a few questions. I am slowly becoming tied to this theory,
not strong ties..but it is possessing my thoughts for most of the day.

1. When would Draco have begun impersonating Tonks? I am assuming it
would have to be after Tonks sends her patronus up to the castle. It
is fishy how Draco was the only one who knew Harry was there, (her
looking out especially for him adds to the body guard theory)

2. Why didnt Draco disclose all of this while talking to Dumbledore at
the end of the book? Surely it would have add more evidence to his
ability to carry out the AK.


Rummage8, who wishes the book would just hurry up and get here already
