Najwa:
I do love those ideas, and you are probably right about it being
Sirius. My poor mottled brain, too much to ponder over and not enough
answers. I do like the idea about a special Ancient and most Noble
House of Black edition to the quibbler. Maybe even start a whole new
string of posts on it. I'm game, anyone else?
