Poisonous Rose

Wotcher! Is it just another of those annoying baseless rumours or will the next shattering revelation by JK Rowling be that Scorpius Malfoy and Rose Weasley will be dating at Hogwarts....
Hem hem.
Personally I can digest the fact that Dumbledore swings the other way, or even that Tonks and Lupin are.......... ............ sniff... dead, but I just cannot see Scorpius fall in love with Rose as that can only lead to an inevitably tragic ending! Wow I can really see all the bloodshed after Superdad Ron is finished with ickle Scorp...
And then of course Draco, will appear on the scene Lucius-like, and hold ickle Rosie captive, in return for the mangled remains of his darling boy!! haha
But since anything's possible (since Sidney Sheldon and Mills n Boon) I wouldn't mind another such scandalalous romance to keep the glorious potter legacy alive. Just like the hybrid marriage of Darcy
and Elizabeth (read Pride n Prejudice u dingbats!), and the revival of a better culture of rural simplicity with aristocratic ostentation... we will find that for the first time in history... a Slytherin marrying a Gryffindor... which is probably nice to think about in JKR's utopian ending to the book where peace and harmony exists... but c'mon!
We all know what Ron is like and even if Supermom Hermione allows them to meet each other in private, they're footsteps will probably be dogged by Ron the Sherlock... who will at the first sign of a smooch, take out his wand and do a Wormtail on poor Scorpius, except that Scorpius won't be able to escape as a rat... so he'll be dead.
Anyways... they'll make a damn cute and good-looking couple, as The Malfoys and The Weasleys were the best looking pure bloods at Hogwarts and boy what a whirwind romance is it going to be this generation!! I bet Rose and Scorpius'll even play against each other on the Quidditch house teams like Harry and Cho... making the tension even better as it'll always be Sytherin vs. Gryffindor!
Being always on Ron's side, my verdict would be 'Never go for a relationship where your passion is as beautiful as Romeo and Juliet, but the story is bound to end the same way!'

The Latest Controversy

Well.... the silver doe promised a post on the latest controversy surrounding Dumbledore,; but hasn't done so... probably because she vanished ( Whether it was Lily or Snape who cast her initially is still under speculation !). So its up to Fawkes once again to come to the rescue, or this blog will become redundant like so many others.

In my opinion, Dumbledore isnt gay. Not that I have anything against it, but just that it sounds a little out of place with the story. When I read the book, it came across to me as that Dumbledore, being brilliant, needed some like-minded company; especially after the tradegies that struck his family. Someone with such a brilliant mind would obviously feel trapped in those circumsatnces, since he was saddled with the responsibilty of taking care of the family. Dumbledore being Dumbledore, the thought of deserting his family for his personal goals would have been appalling; but none-the-less, he would have felt let-down after what he had seen for his future and what he was left with ultimately. So it only stands to reason that when he met Grindelwald, he must have seen it as a chance to live his dreams; if not in person,then by discussing them with his new-found, equally brilliant friend.

But I dont think this means that he "fell in love "; to put it sooo eloquently (ahem !) with Grindelwald. Just because we meet someone like-minded and become really good friends and discuss plans together doesnt mean that they're in love. The thought doesnt come across as very real or even expected. Suffice to say, the thought didnt fall into place like others stated by Mrs.Rowling. It didnt click with the facts provided in the book.

Do I hear anyone seconding the motion ??
