*snicker* Interesting question.
The answers IMHO are Yes (guffaw!) and Yes..

Shelby:
> 2. What about the Malfoys, did they marry out of love?  Do they 
have pet names for each other? Do they sleep in the same room? In 
the same beds?

Valky:
Hmmm this is more difficult, we know nothing about Narcissa really, 
except Sirius' somewhat one-colour opinion of all her actions. 
I would be inclined to say No Lucius probably didn't marry for love, 
I doubt he does anything "for" love or "for" anything that isn't 
himself frankly. They might *not* sleep in the same room or have any 
real relationship at all. We haven't seen it.

form?

Valky:
I don't think so. Canon suggest Crookshanks is an excellent 
communicator, but Werewolves as per the books are apparently 
unreachable.

Valky:
I would speculate yes on this one, there is definitely an emotional 
connection between them that might be more powerful than a spell.

Valky: 
Couldn't say for sure. I think Sirius was more likely the driving 
force of the veangeful emotions so it's probably a no. Still there 
might be more to Remus than we know.

Valky:
As far as I can guess they seem like valid canon topics for 
discussion, so I think all will be well with this, I think.
