Ok bad librarian, my Googlefu is failing me. I find no references that make any sense for Black Leopard & Tamarind tree. (other than to turn up Pansy's entry as the second hit for the search black leopard tamarind, Google is freaking FAST)

Anyone have any guesses other than, Pansy's still being messed with or someone got smart and is talking in code?

Did you see Ron's replies? Very curious! A leopard that is black, might look blue in certain lights, and is definitely not red.

Could it be a reference to Pansy's Black secret?

Yes, but only after my initial post. Seems to bear out my code guess. Though they are calling it an in joke. Whatever those three have cooked up is sure to be interesting.

As a side I'm intrigued by the directions I'm seeing friendships develop. Very different group dynamics from the book. At this point there was HH&R along with Draco, Crabbe & Goyle and basically nothing else we could see as readers. Now we are seeing many more friendships, many across house lines and some across class lines.

Given the new information that Boot is missing, do you think Pansy's coded message might be about his whereabouts?

My first thought with color was to connect it to houses (blue=Ravenclaw, red=Gryffindor), but of course there is no house whose color is black. But perhaps black would make sense for Muggleborn servants.

Totally flailing-in-the-dark guesswork, but there it is.

Perhaps black animals are the code name for Pansy? http://alt-pansy.livejournal.com/6495.html?thread=90719#t90719
