Hi:

Shelly -- I'm thrilled that you loved PoU. But, Carole & I are not the
authors. As much as I (we) would like to take credit for that fantastic
fanfic, we cannot. Lori Summers is the author, and it is (IMO) the best
HP fanfic on the net.

Carole & I are writing an ongoing prequel to PoU. It's called "A Sirius
Affair," & you can view it on the PoU egroups homepage. Once you get
to that homepage, click on files, then click on the folder labelled
"A Sirius Affair." We have 5 chapters posted (planning a total of 12-13).

Shelly -- I couldn't agree more with your sentiments re: marrying someone
who's your friend & your thoughts about the long-term implications of
Ron/Herm. I've said it all before so I'll spare everyone the lengthy
recap. Ron & Herm have "sparks," but in the end I don't think Ron
would be "enough" for her. Harry & Herm are more equally balanced &
well-suited. But, then again, I married my best friend -- so I favor
these relationships.

You'll see my detailed arguments in the Romance Pairings FAQ (as well
as those in favor of all the other pairings). <g> Maybe we'll convert
Marion yet -- who knows?
