Dung:

I'm rather cheered. I was thinking the other day, it's got to be 
darkest before dawn, right?

So, Scrimgeour's dead, Voldemort's in control of the Ministry, and 
all supporters of DD are now in hiding, because they're being hunted 
by the aurors?

Or, Scrimgeour's dead, A Death Eater is puppet Minister for Magic, 
Voldemort's Headmaster of Hogwarts and has burned DD's portrait?

Or, Hogwarts doesn't reopen, the Death Eaters get in and make it 
their base, (probably killing Hagrid) and fortify it against the 
aurors and the Ministry. 

(I like this one, because then you could have Voldemort not being 
able to get into the Head's office because he's not the rightful 
Head, McGonagall is - and thus he can't get at the sword or at DD's 
painting - but Harry, with his intricate knowledge of the Castle and 
the help of the invisibility cloak and the Marauder's map manages to 
get in because the password is clearly raspberry jam. - Ha! And when 
he gets in there he finds Snape talking to DD's portrait...)

Any takers?
