It's been a wild ride so far.
I think that phony propechy that Dumbles cooked up might become real. Dumbledore is the Dark Lord in the prophecy and Carolyn Chapman is the one marked as an equal and the power that Carolyn has is the Truth. Did Dumbles kill Carolyn's dad?
People hyped up on drugs are impossible to predict. It might seem like a good idea, but Voldemort is going to make irrational and illogical decisions that will be unpredictable. Like sending a team of Death Eaters to set fire to the magical bookstore that kids buy there textbooks from or maybe destroy all the toliets at the London Zoo.
Still a fun chapter.

The prophecy has become real. By setting it in motion, Dumbledore made certain Voldemort would act on it. By acting on it, and marking Harry as his equal, Voldemort made it real. As long as he believes its real, it's real.
I believe Dumbledore is a dark lord. whether he's the one in the prophecy, or not, he's as bad as Voldemort.
Carolyn's dad: Undecided.
Irrational decisions: As a former narcotics officer, I know all too well, how unpredictable addiction makes one. I can arrange the arson, and blowing up the toilets sounds like a lark. the damage can be controlled, ans since the children are all at school, it would be relatively harmless. On the other hand, Borgen & Burkes is due for some 'spring cleanin'. Amelia has formed small rapid action groups, for instant response, and has enough extra Aurors on tap to handle any real problems.
