We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I should go over the genealogy section of OotP again. Bellatrix and Narcissa are sisters, but how is Sirius related there? Did the Potters show up in that diagram anywhere? Are the Potters a pureblood family?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Bellatrix and Narcissa are sisters, but how is Sirius related there?

Sirius is their cousin, along with the third sister, Andromeda. Andromeda married a Muggle and is Tonks' mother.

The evil is this way?

Did the Potters show up in that diagram anywhere? Are the Potters a pureblood family?

The Potters are not mentioned as being related to the Blacks. I had thought that this was odd since I thought that James was a pureblood and the books said more than once that pureblood families tend to be interrelated at some point. Perhaps James is not a pureblood, or pureblood enough (maybe his parents were a witch and wizard but one or more of their parents were muggles?)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

There's been talk (and no one seems to have objected) to moving the HP discussion to the Book Club thread, and not whitefont. So, I'd move that we do that.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Seconded.

Perhaps James is not a pureblood

Remus said he was during the Christmas dinner in HBP.

ETA: I agree with the move to the Book Club thread!
