...and then Kneasy writes:
Less death.
Yet the over-arching theme *is* death, according to Jo.
There are much more interesting subjects than death, especially in the books, IMO.
As a matter of fact, I've just had a Kneasy moment. Possibilities for a major post, here.
Hmm. Needs some thought. Maybe in a few days...
The Marauders were a bit of a let-down, but not yet a totally lost cause. Pippin et al
still have a beady eye on Lupin, and I still have deep suspicions of Sirius.
Never did like flash bastards.
Oh, Kneasy, you do this little kitty cat's heart good! I haven't liked that particular flash bastard from the get-go, and I don't think it's just because he's a big black d*g!
Yes, the Crouches. There's a nice little theory that Barty Jnr was set up to be caught;
a plot to bring down Barty Snr, allowing the more malleable Fudge into a key position.
Bagman, too, where's he gone? And yes, Percy. Come to that, where the hell is Trevor?
Ripe seams for exploitation, all of them - well, perhaps not Trevor, but I still feel that
there ought to be a plot-connected tale or two centering on him as well.
Gatta rather thinks Trevor inherited his family's stately pile, and is now off tootling around the Sceptred Isle in a big red motor car impressing the socks off all the girl toads.
Or maybe he eloped with Winky?
Purrs!
