> Compulsory Questions (50 points total):
>
>
> 1. Will Harry die and stay dead at the end of HPDH?

Absolutly NOT!!! If Harry DOES die it will be a sacrificial death
(like Aslan in Narnia) and he will be raised back up in some way.

> 2. Will Voldemort die and stay dead at the end of HPDH?

Absolutly YES!!

> 3. Excluding Harry and Voldemort, who will be the most prominent
> character to die and stay dead?

Confused by "most prominent", but I believe Snape, Bella, and Draco
are likely to die.

> 4. From HBP (p125, American Hardcover), in the shop while the trio
> were listening with Extendable Ears, what did Draco show Borgin
>thatscared him?

I think that I'll give Harry a vote of confindence and say "Dark
Mark"....

> 5. Assuming Hogwarts reopens as a school, who will return as a
> student (answer yes or no for each):
> a. Harry? Not as a full time student. I believe he will use
the school as a cover, and will just as Dumbledore
did) leave periodicly to search/destroy Horcruxes.
> b. Draco? NO
> c. Hermione? Yes(it is Hermione after all), but she will take
time off to help Harry in the search.
> d. Luna? Yes
> e. Ron? Yes (because of Molly)but will follow Harry when he
leaves
> f. Neville? Yes
> g. Ginny? Yes

> 6. Which will be the most prominent couple to marry in DH, if any?

I believe Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny will get married at the end.
Also Bill/Fleur and Remus/Tonks.

> 7. Who will be the unusual person who performs magic for the first
> time "very late in life?"

Hmm....no idea... I'll say a Squib.

> 8. Assuming Hogwarts reopens as a school, who will be the:
> a. Head Boy? Harry (as part of his cover)

> c. DADA Instructor? Kingsley Shacklebolt
> d. Potions Master or Mistress? Slughorn will stay on
> e. Headmaster or -mistress? McGonagall
>

He is DDM!Snape, but this will not be revealed until a crucial
moment...

> 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

answers.)
> a. In Voldemort

> c. The Gaunt ring Dumbledore destroyed
> d. The Golden cup Riddle stole from Hezibah
> e. The diary Harry destroyed in the chamber

> Alternate 1. What are Snape's

patronus BAT
and boggert? The true reason he turned from Voldy, and why DD
trusted him.

> Alternate 2. What is behind the locked door at the Department of
> Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic?

"Love" Also where Lily learned of how to protect Harry from Voldy.

> Predictions (10 points each / 50 points total):

"Negative" predictions will receive no credit.
> -- Only your first 5 predictions will be evaluated and included in

> scored.

> 1. Ginny will not "give up" on Harry. She will find out about
Horcruxes, and the fact that the diary was one. She will also try to
help Harry in his search and destruction dispite his pushing her away.

> 2. Snape has/had access to at least one Horcrux, as does/did Bella.
(Much in the way that Lucius had the diary)

> 3. Rufus Scrimegour will continue to "recruit" Harry for public
relations, and will continue to use Percy in this way. Look for him
to make an apperence at Bill and Fleur's wedding. Once again Molly
will embrace him, while the others (especially Fred and George) cause
a seen due to the hurt he has caused.

> 4. We will find that Dumbledore was unusually prepared for his
death. He will have left Harry some type of information to help him
on the search and destruction of Horcruxes. This will be some
evidence that Dumbledore KNEW he was going to die soon.

> 5. When Harry meets up with Voldy in the end, there will be one
extra Horcrux left to destroy. Durring the struggle Voldy will
discover this fact, possibly laughing at Harry because he still can
not die. Shortly after, Snape will arive with his hidden Horcrux and
distroy it. Voldemort being both enraged at being betrayed, and
terrified of death will send an AK toward Snape. Harry takes this
opportunity to gain advantage over Voldy and defeats him.
