P.S. Ffred mentioned that Sirius can't help arrange a marriage, being
dead; he's forgetting Moaning Myrtle. Seeing who Sirius *might* have
picked might have been downright alarming and a lot of fun to see.
 
I (Carol) brilliantly replied:
Am I missing something here? Moaning Myrtle as a prospective wife for
Sirius in an arranged marriage had they both lived? First, she was a
Muggle-born (which is why the Basilisk chose her as a victim, or
Riddle ordered it to kill her) and would be exactly the wife his
parents *wouldn't* have chosen for him, and second, she was a
contemporary of Tom, not of Sirius, and died before he was born. But I
could just be misreading your postscript. . . .
 
Jim responded:
Tongue in cheek alert! *Sirius* arranging a marriage for *Harry* -
Myrte does have a 'thing' for Harry, after all.  And Sirius, being
dead, has few options in the cupid department. Don't take me seriously
here. <snip>

Carol again:
Sorry! I thought you meant Myrtle as a prospective wife for Sirius in
a marriage arranged by his parents when he was in his early teens
(though as a boy he seems to think himself too good for any girl,
Muggle-born or otherwise, in contrast to James, who constantly shows
off for Lily--and maybe for the girls in general). I didn't realize
you meant a marriage between Harry and Myrtle arranged by Sirius,
alive or dead--I would have known you were joking then.

Carol, with apologies for taking you "Siriusly"
