Random HP Thoughts
Jan. 20th, 2006 08:26 amI've always hated the ship Sirius/Dorcas Meadowes, just because I despise the reasoning "they were standing next to each other in the picture! Maybe something was going on!" I've also hated the logic that Remus was standing next to someone else, so the others weren't speaking to him. (If they weren't speaking to him much, how was he getting the information to be suspected of being the spy?) So when I started writing AIL, I came up with plausible reasons for why they might be standing where they were. I had Remus work for Caradoc Dearborn (the fact he disappeared neatly left him without references, thus rendering his work experience useless in terms of getting another job), and Dorcas Meadowes was an old woman who was one of Sirius's tutors.
Question: was I wrong about the old woman part?
In HBP, we learn that Professor Meadowes is retiring from the DADA position that Voldemort so covets. Same Ms. Meadowes? Wouldn't surprise me. And wouldn't a DADA prof be powerful enough that Voldie would kill her himself? And when he did, did he make a horcrux, especially since there's a connection with him and the DADA position?
Discuss :)
Also: Plot bunnies up for adoption. I may write them someday, but who am I kidding on time?
1.) Arthur Weasley having to take his wand from his grandmother because she's got Alzhemers and is dangerous with it.
2.) Remus/Sirius, post-Azkaban, and Remus actually breaks out a condom. (I somehow doubt news of AIDS reached Sirius in Azkaban.)
3.) Sirius takes the DADA position in 1981 (or 1980). Wouldn't THAT be a lovely little explanation as to why he ended up in Azkaban????
