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.

Perhaps the name has to capture the foundation of our objection to 
Sirius' demise.  So how about E.T.U.K.S.S.Y. (End The Unfairness of 
Killing Sirius So Young)?  As there is much demand, perhaps we all 
must pony up a whole galleon to join?

Cindy (who thinks we will also need a 12-step program for all of 
those suffering Sirius withdrawal)
