It would be interesting to see Harry captured from Privet Drive and spirited away by Voldemort and his Death Eaters, maybe taken to their hideout. I want to see more dark elements involved. Maybe have the Order of Phoenix come to the rescue or somehow Sirius comes back to help harry out.

If I could write the first chapter, it would be Sirius waking up on a distant shore, trying to find out where he is and desperately trying to get back home because he thinks Harry is in danger.

ohhh laterose, that's good,

i don't know wut i
d call it, but i was thinking that voldemort could somehow talk to some of the kids in hogwarts (slytherin) and bring them over to his side, he would have an army inside the school, malfoy would probably be the leader

*takes a bow* thank you

I also like where you're going. Maybe a prologue of Draco going over to the dark side, but hesitatiing first.

No...Draco is going to turn good. Remember? He's going to realize how much he loves Hermione and he can't go against her...he just can't!!!!!!!!;) What kinda kids' book would it be without morals anyway?

a good one probably

that's why he hesitates, thus making us think that he has some good in him, but he doesn't come to the good side until the seventh book

Yep, I think Draco will have a major change in attitude by the end of book 7, but I think it will be because Voldemort does something to his family that makes him rethink all the "values" he's been taught. Whether in the wizarding world or the real world, kids often parrot what they've been taught by their parents, without giving any real thought to if it's right or not.

Laterose, what do you make of the comments that came up a few times about how it wasn't a good idea that the various houses competed against each other? Hermione brought it up, and so did McGonagall (i think it was her) Do you see them banding together, in a one for all kind of way?


As to writing the first chapter in book 6, I kind of liked the idea of eclipsedman, having Harry being taken from Privet drive. Book 6, I think, will have to get even darker for the redemtion of book 7 to come about.

kerry =)

I like the idea of them uniting together as one school. I agree Draco will rethink over what he has been taught and will do what is right.

when i write to JKR (i'm gonna do it) i'll tell her about this iste, she gotta see this stuff, she loves TLC and alot of ppl here go to that site, so maybe she'll visit?

I think that the school will unite at some point in the seventh book, like how the Sorting Hat described in OotP. I think it's possible for Draco to change his standpoint, but he would take a view like Snape's. I mean, he can't just suddenly be friends with Harry and the others. Neither side would go for that.

That is very true, but we may start to see a transition soon enough

Whats signs, if any, have there been to show this... Has it hinted at in the books, and i've missed it.

No, it just has to happen. One of those things.
WebMonkey
08-12-2003, 10:36 AM
I REALLY hope it does.

But prev to this thinking, i always imagined him to be the last hurdle before Voldy in the last book. Either that or Draco betrays him...and the school.
Laterose

We shall see what happens...

Its hard to find the good side of Draco...he has pride...But he sticks up for his mother so he cares about his family...Hes scared of dieing when he gets bitten by the Hippogriff so he obviosly values his life...but not Harrys obviosly he could of killed him with the Dementor trick. Is there any other side of a good Malfoy?
Laterose
08-12-2003, 10:50 AM
Draco was brought up to believe that pureblood's are best. It's not his fault what has happened to him. It's up to him, though, to change
LOTR RING

Well said! But what will inspire him to change. I would like to refir to Jbonds wise signature:

"How can a man who sees no light be enlightend?"

I still like the idea of him falling for Ginny
LOTR RING
08-12-2003, 11:18 AM
A badguy falling in love with a goodguy is a bit overdone. maybe he will seek out revenge on evil because his was killed by it....But thats overdone too.
WebMonkey

He could turn aganist Tom Riddle, because maybe Riddle kills Malfoy because he failed him at the end of OotP. I'm not sure love wil turn Draco good. Its a good Ying-Yang theory thou. i like it.

The only thing stronger than hate is love, WebMonkey

No the only thing stronger than hate is more hate. Love is just something that we hold onto in the hopes it might help us later on. Hate is a huge driving force which makes it so much more powerful. Just look at Harry when he hates Bellatrix.
Laterose
08-12-2003, 11:29 AM
But it was because he loved Sirius....
hpk37067
08-12-2003, 11:29 AM
No, he was angry with himself and with Bellatrix for killing him.
Laterose
08-12-2003, 11:30 AM
He loved Sirius and Bellatrix killed Sirius, so he hated her.
hpk37067
08-12-2003, 11:31 AM
But only hating got him to do something. If he just continued loving, he would have been a useless lump. Hate is a pure driving force.
Laterose
08-12-2003, 11:32 AM
Love was the driving force. Harry would never have gone to the department of mysteries in the first place had he not loved Sirius
hpk37067
08-12-2003, 11:33 AM
Yes, but that was useless, wasn't it?
Laterose
08-12-2003, 11:34 AM
he didn't know Voldemort didn't have Sirius
hpk37067
08-12-2003, 11:48 AM
But he knows that if he had concentrated on whether his dreams were real or not, he could have saved Sirius. I agree that love started it, but hate ends it. And love doesn't give nearly as much strength as hate.
WebMonkey

Love lasts longer.

Maybe hate and love r equal, it's just which feeling makes more sense to you at the moment that you act on
hpk37067
08-12-2003, 06:28 PM
Let's agree on this. Love is the instigator, but hate is the driver. Comprendre?

I think it starts AND ends with love, IMO. Yes, Harry attacked Bella, but it was born out of love, and the Curse didn't work correctly because of that.
hpk37067
08-12-2003, 06:37 PM
It didn't really end in love. It started with Harry loving Sirius, then Harry hating Bellatrix for killing his love, then to mourning which would be sadness. So it actually ends in suffering like Yoda always says.

he he he, when you said 'then harry hating bellatrix for killing his love' it sounds like sirius was his fiance or something...........

Hate is a pure driving force.
that was posted earlier by hpk..... i don't think hate is that pure, love is probably more pure that hate will ever be. love is caused by good feelings, and hate is caused by anger, greed and jealousy, which one seems more pure?

you know wut, i don't know why i commeted on that, i know thats not wut you ment by "pure", ignore me

i agree with hpk in this instance, hate is definately the driving force for harry.

I guess that hpk does have a point, and I just realized I'm disagreeing with myself...I posted somewhere else that Harry would become more evil and stuffs...great, now i'm confused...stupid....*thwacks self*

But it did. Harry realized how much he loved Sirius when he realized he didn't have Sirius anymore.
