Sign me up!  I'll pay two sickles, or two galleons, or the rest of the money in my imaginary Gringotts vault--whatever it takes to keep Sirius safe.  He's my favorite character in the books (with Lupin and Snape right behind), and I think he's had so little chance to live that it would be incredibly unfair to have him die.  Not to mention what his death would do to Harry.  So anyway, if you'll have me, I will be a proud member of whatever we decide to call ourselves.  I'll let you know if I come up with a good name.
