Somehow I doubt Alex will go through with it. I noticed how many people find the Alex/Torvald relationship out of the blue, he's always had a soft spot for her though ever since 6th grade, while he was shuffling her closer to Larry (the whole rat thing). He went out of his way to tell her that he quit MMS after she did, he truly wanted her to know and not think him a total 'sick creep' as she had accused the MMS members of being.
Not to mention he did ask her to dance in all of both winter balls she attended. But i do agree that he is a bit bland for being a trickster. Would have been nice if we'd actually seen or at least heard of his mischief before stars above. A simple run in outside the deans office would have been ok.
That creepy baby mummy following her is curious. It does accent that perhaps it wasn't John trying to kill her earlier. My theory is that it was someone within the original Thorn Circle - the person who might have tried to obliviate Alex as a baby only to have the spell deflect upon Hecate. Someone who would be very angry with Alexandra for giving his name to the Aurors...
What really bothers me though is that i have this horrible feeling that Abraham Thorn is going to die. I really hope I'm wrong on this prediction, because despite being a terrorist, he is one of my favorite characters. But we have seen more of him in this book than all the others combined - and we're to see him again soon. The whole bit with Caudia and Livia getting closer again, Alex exploring with boys, and Abrahams promise that he would die for any of his children just seems to support this, and build a platform to help her cope with her fathers death.

So... I do hope it's Torvald that kicks the can.
