Well, now we know what Teddy took from Hermione's cubby. And with this post from Mulciber, I get the feeling I'm going to be spending a lot of time pushing F5!

Hm. Do you suppose "Brown Dwarf, but Draco" might be some sort of code between Rabastan and Sinistra?

Astronomy! Of course!

I mean, it's possible there's something astronomical she was looking forward to - but the capitalization struck me as unusual. The phrasing leaves room for both of them to honestly say "but Draco's been unhappy" or whatever, but I really have to think it's "hide Draco" or something.

I'd say so. From a quick look at google, I'm finding that a Brown Dwarf is a "failed star"- formed the same way as a star, but can't convert hydrogen into helium via nuclear fusion. They're harder to see because they're not as bright as true stars.

I'm not sure how this translates into a meaningful code word, but.

The question in my mind is not "Is that a code" but "What does that code mean".

My guess is "There is a threat to Harry".

I'm not sure it pertains to Harry- Raz's first instinct to Bellatrix was that it was a frame job, and even if he does as he's told, I don't think he'd pass along a message to Siz that Draco was a threat to Harry. I just don't think he'd believe that without overwhelming evidence.

Of course I have no meaningful alternative to offer!

The reason I think the code is for Harry is that he specifically had to substitute Draco in.

Oooh, I misread you. That makes more sense.

Yes, that's a good possibility (if my guess below doesn't pan out): "Emergency plan Brown Dwarf, but for Draco rather than Harry"

Actually, I'm starting to wonder (on reread) if "It's going to be a bad day" might not be the code.

"Brown Dwarf" could be Hermione - not a true star - and Raz is wondering if the two of them might be being used against Harry. (Especially since Hermione was used to make Harry look bad by Nott Jr. once already this contest.)
