I was half expecting at least one of the ISS, if not most of the Order, if they got called in, to be captured and questioned, with no hope of escape. I mean, imagine Barty Crouch coming face to face with Hermione with a wand, or Alice Longbottom, or Sirius Black, or...
Yeah, the moment I realized what was happening-- I mean, the canon events just made things worse, but-- yeah, this could have been very very bad.
I mean, the fallout of this is going to be interesting, because, well. But this went much much better than it could have. (Huh. They mentioned Felix Felicus when Cedric was injured. Setting up for this?)
He probably obtained it to give him every smidgen of luck he could get to kill Voldemort. And to protect his family. And it DID work, he DID kill V.--but he was foiled by the horcruxes.

(When did Arista drink the Felix Felcius? I wonder if it affected that too?)

I remember seeing that, but I just thought it was a person, another Council member I'd forgotten...
Wow.

Just WOW!
