Book Six spoilers plus a tea plea.

News Bulletin, Bitches!

JKR has made an announcement regarding Book Six

Is nothing sacred, woman? She better kill somebody that nobody remembers. ::hides Theodore behind her back:: I'm just saying. ::hides Neville in linen closet:: I'm the one who whacks people in this universe, not her! ::hides Dean and Seamus:: She's infringing on my territory! ::hides entire Weasley clan, with the exception of Percy in same room as Crabbe and Goyle::

Oh, d'you think it's Percy? I hope it's not Oliver. Could be Victor. Or Fleur!

Remus has suffered enough, oooooh maybe it's Peter.

My problem with knowing this now, apart from the fact that I didn't want to know any spoilers and the media apparently don't give a fuck, is that now I'm going to be stressed out the entire time I read Book Six, wondering who she'll have whacked.

This sucks, dude.

Would some benevolent soul in the UK be able to pop over to Tescos/Sainsbury's/Waitrose and get me some fruit tea? I have people who normally do this, but one's on holiday and the other, well, he's got memory issues. Nothing with lemon or ginger please. I will reimburse or um, write you something.

It's a Weasley. It'll be a Weasley.

::looks grim::

Or Draco. Harry's gonna whack Draco at some point. Actually, that begs the question -- do you think she'll have Harry KILL a baddie before Book 7 in warm up for Voldemort? How deep will his post-Sirius personal darkness go?

As long as it's not Dumbledore. I'm petrified of a Kenobi and/or Gandalf thing going on.

I suspect you're right. I'm thinking it'll be Percy having a change of heart at the end of his life or one of the elder boys who are always seen but never heard from, and even though I've wiped out the entire family in one line before, the idea makes me a bit sad, I have to confess.

The idea makes me a bit sad too. For Molly. I adored that scene in OOTP where Harry comes across her and the Boggart ...

I suspect you're right.

::looks stern::

I'm always right.

I have a title for the Nott fic I'll end up writing when I get my brain back from Theodore ...

I think it's likely to be Dumbledore. The hero has to lose his/her mentor in the Journey myth; that's why it happened to Obi-Wan and Gandalf.

I don't know that JKR (or Harry) cares enough for Draco to off him. He's a pest, not an Evil Adversary. Besides, WAAAHHSHECAN'TKILLMYDRACONONONO!!!
