I solemnly swear that I am up to no good...

In less than 24 hours, the new Harry Potter book will be being read in my household. Not by me of course, because Tessie reads a LOT faster than I do, so she's reading it first, but if I don't have it by my Monday shift at work, I'll be a little annoyed.

I have a prediction... it's not huge thing, but I think I can predict what will happen surrounding a couple people... or rather, one specific thing, and I'm going to make this prediction, and see how well I managed to do. I swear I've not read any of the early released information available anywhere. Not even a book review.

Remember the locket that no one at Grimauld Place could open? My bet is that said locket is the horcrux that was supposed to be on the island that Albus and Harry went to at the end of Half Blood Prince. This is nothing new, many people have made this connection already, as the letter to Voldemort was signed R.A.B, or Regulus Arcturus Black (how do I know the middle name of Sirius' brother is Arcturus? Look at the Black family tree in the film version of Order of the Phoenix, which is all canon information supplied to Director David Yates by Rowling herself).

The real prediction comes next: Harry is going to realise that he's had the locket the whole time, at Grimauld place, so he'll head off, relieved to have something to do, only to find that the locket is now missing. A bit of thinking then leads him to believe that Mundungus stole it, along with quite a lot of the other Black family goodies, during Harry's 6th year at Hogwarts. There may or may not then be a lot of Order action, trying to get to Mundungus in Azkaban prison to find out where the horcrux is, only to end up finding that he has no idea what they're going on about.

Then, Harry will realise that Kreacher the house elf probably took the locket and hid it away, along with a lot of other of his mistress LeStrange's precious things, to keep Mundungus from stealing them too, so Harry really did have the horcrux available to him the whole time.

Oh, and Kreacher will feel AWFUL for having helped the Potter boy.
