very nice. good pacing and development. I quuickly saw the Luna Harley connection as well as Nevile poison Ivy. the more that I see is Remus Lupin as two face with his left side stuck in a permanent transformation, maybe he could have an ancient roman coin with romulous on one side and remus on the other. My prediction for scarecrow is Sirius learned to harness the power of the dementors while in azkaban though it could also be bellatrix. Bane. hmmmm.... bane. bane. bane. very complex character and brute strength doesnt really matter much in the wizarding world so I imagine venom turning him into a magical dynamo with some inhanced physical abilities. I'm thinking Snape for that one since it would need to be brewed in secret. I have this odd Idea for the one we know as Voldemort as Raz Aghoul, an ancient evil presence that has been hoping around the centuries in other peoples bodies. the real Tom Riddle planned to be Voldemort but in his search for Immortality came across Raz and lost the battle for control. now he needs a new body and is interested in Harry. the Diary might be the only horcrux of Tom Riddle and without heroric Harry to save ginny, old tommy boy just might make it back and then you know what they say about the enemy of my enemy.
oh and I have one more Idea but it's pretty lame. Hermione as catwoman. pureblood prejudice is so great that they even restrict what classes muggleborns can take so she decides to just take the knowledge from them, Harry might use her to steal things he cant get to. it's my pathetic attempt to include Hermione sice she's my favorite character and I'm a forever Harmonian. though if she did become catwoman she would go towards Draco instead

ello!
thanx for the review, now a few answers.
yeah it seems like luna and nevile are the two that i had planned originally, that everyone seem to expect... i may have to change that.
now remus... hmmm thats a very good idea. i especially like the coin part. but as of right now i got plans for both remus and twoface, but they are not one and the same.
sirius; another very good idea, and in all honesty i was toying with it for a while, you really made me think. but so far i'm still gunna stick with my first inclination.
bane; again nice idea, but i want to leave most of the teachers out of it.
Tommy boy, like alot of the key pieces of the potter verse are going to stay the same, its only harry and a select few others that change, and thus, changed everything around them.
ohhhhh, i like the Hermione idea. and yeah, i am sorta planning on the catwoman-person going after draco. so no hermione; i am also a harmonian, but i also like ginny. she will also have a place and it wont be bashing. a little growling and gritted teeth? maybe.
anyway nice ideas!
they're really helping my process; to see what everyone wants.
later
