<snip of evidence on Remus/Arabella.>

While Sirius/Arabella is shot down, I have a new Sirius Ship.

Sirius/Sinistra. (Assuming Sinistra's a she, or for some people, even 
assuming he's not. ^_~)

Bear with me and my twisted ideas for a moment. Think about it. 
Sinistra's an Astronomy teacher and Sirius is named for the Dog Star. 
We never get any evidence on how old she is (in the US versions, 
anyway.) so she could easily have gone to school with the Marauders. 
She takes on the lonely job of teaching Astronomy, a job which 
involves living in a tower and having different sleeping hours, both 
of which result in a certain amount of isolation. And wouldn't this 
be the PERFECT occupation to take up for someone after Lily and James 
were killed? The only thing we don't know about with that theory is 
what she did before they died.

Never mind the great angst and coincidence brought about during PoA-
Remus and Sinistra reuniting right after Sirius escapes. At the same 
time, Harry's at school, best friends with Ron and Hermione. Ron is 
keeping Scabbers as a pet, and Hermione is keeping Crookshanks. And 
don't forget about Snape.

Most of this, of course, came together in the Shack, but, of course, 
Sinistra wasn't there. Which is something of a flaw in the ship, but 
anyway. Next bit of evidence.

There's also the connection between the names Black and Sinistra. 
Black, of course, means dark, shaded, the opposite of light. Fiat 
Incantatum has found an excellent meaning for Sinistra, and I hope 
they forgive me for reverting back to "sinister." This does not 
necessarily point to Sinistra being evil, anymore than Sirius is evil-
(No, I don't support the recent spate of _________ is Ever So Evil 
posts. *g*) but there are some interesting between them.....
