Stunning HBP Developments

[persephone_kore]

Got the idea from a_t_rain: neither actual predictions nor actual... well, negative predictions (e.g. my "Snape is not a villain" or the obvious "Ron and Ginny will not 'go evil' despite the desires of the anti-Weasley contingent"), but outlandish pet theories or fun ideas that would shock you no end if they actually showed up in HBP. (This is perhaps not for the people who only go in for straight and strict prediction.)

So, what would make me fall over?


1. Salazar Slytherin as a werewolf.

2. Salazar Slytherin reincarnated as Crookshanks. (I don't think she's going in for reincarnation, honestly, but it was such a fun idea....)

3. Tom Riddle was born under the thirteenth astrological sign of Ophiuchus the Snake-Handler, and this is important.

4. The boa from the zoo plays an important role by distracting Nagini and seducing her from Voldemort's side. (Voldemort is distressed by his dear Nagini making his mother's mistake and getting involved with a nonmagical creature.)

5. Harry and Neville conspire to hatch a new basilisk using Trevor.

6. Salazar was actually a toad Animagus (and may have at least tried to hatch the basilisk personally).

And we had Luna come up with an appropriately Quibbleresque conspiracy theory for why the rest of the world thinks there's only twelve signs. Whether or not we end up writing the actual story, we should use that bit of conversation somewhere, because it's funny. :)

Hee. Yes, we should.

I wish I'd spent less time dawdling around -- we haven't actually posted anything new in ages, and we could have put together so much that's probably about to get obsoleted, if we'd just gotten around to it. :/ I liked a lot of it.

Oh yes - it sounds fascinating. You definitely should.
