Lupin and Tonks --- Fleur and Bill

[Mrs. Luca Black]

like i think in one book harry's looking at old photos and notices that sirius was with a different girl in every photo.

Is this really in the books? If so, where?

I asked my roommate and she thinks it's in there too, maybe in the end of OotP.

I just have the hardest time believing this part. Loyalty is such a strong part of Sirius' character than I just can't see him being the "Gryffindor whore" a lot of people like to think he is. I have my own, imaginitive theories about love life, but none of them involve a different girl all the time. Yes he was hot, yes he was popular, but come on now, could someone so loyal to his friends treat women in that way? I think that saying he's some rake destroys his character more than saying he and Remus dated would.

[Person1]

Aw....your just jealous cause you want to be his wife.....




Dunno bout sirus, i can't recall reading that at the end of the book, read from around pg 250(if i recall correctly) to the end about 5 days before HBP came out, and i can't recall it, must be in the front parts of the book.

Did you see him as a teenager? He was very haughty, which makes him seeing many girls rather likely. Also, dating many girls doesn't mean you sleep with them. There's also the idea that maybe the girls didn't want a long term relationship. Sometimes, girl's like a bad boy and they don't want him to meet their mothers

[Fantasy girl]

see i never read this part, but what if sirus didn't go out with alotta girls, what if we are all wrong? also i just can't see him going out with multiple girls, and brekin their hearts

[Tanuki]

1) I can easily see him playing the rogue and seeing a different girl each week. He was a fifteen year old, arrogant, hotty; not a saint.

2) What makes you think the girl's ever thought they were getting into a relationship that lasts? If you ask me, the girl's were probably looking at him like some sort of trophy. You know "I went out with Sirius Black."

[Snow_Crystal]

I'd like to know where that passage was as well please. I've just read all of the books up to GoF again, I'm over half way through OOTP at the moment as well, and haven't spotted it so far.

Help us out Thestal!

[Asphodel]

Ditto to Tanuki. The marauders were just a bunch of hot-headed chick magnets. Sirius was loyal, yes, but I'm sure he wouldn't give up a hindred girls just for loyalty.

[SunsetG|rl]

Well I definitly think Sirius always put his friends above any other girl... I just get that feeling...Don't really know why.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

Well I definitly think Sirius always put his friends above any other girl... I just get that feeling...Don't really know why.

Agreed. But it's not really just that. It's more whether you would effectively kill your best friends for a hundred girls... That's what we don't think Sirius would do.

[Asphodel]

True that. What I mean is, he would deprive them of a chocolate biscuit to keep his girls.

[Chimera]

I don't think I'd put it past the marauders to play on their "rock star" status in Hogwarts. I reckon James and Sirius especially, being the coolest of the gang, would have been up for skirt if they could get it. However I don't think they would have done anything to jeopardise their friendship with the remainder of the marauders.

Sirius and Lupin wouldn't be a couple, they bicker more than a real couple. I don't know if Lupin is bi or not. I've heard it discussed now and then but all arguments for it have been one of two things.

Firstly, he's apparently lonely enough to not care who he dates, I don't believe this. He's got a good circle of friends who not only love him as a person but also deeply respect him as a highly competent wizard in his field. This attitude on the part of his friends is well summed-up by James, in referring to Remus's lycanthropy as his "furry little problem". I don't believe this argument for another reason: it is not for us to decide our sexuality.

The other argument for him "definitely" being bi or gay (not so much gay since HBP) is that he's sensitive and intuitive. He's very clued-up in matters where emotion and reason compete. This argument seems to have a lot to do with stereotyping. Stereotyping proves nothing, you can use it to say whatever you want it to say. I think Lupin is all these things because he has seen the best and worst in people. He's seen hatred and fear, bigotry, and also acceptance in spite of these things. He can't get a job because of his condition, yet he had three friends who were willing to risk Azkaban just to see him through it. That, coupled with the rate at which he has been forced to mature, has left him uniquely equipped to understand the human mind. I doubt he would be the same had he not been a werewolf.

[half blood princess]

was thinking about whether or not jkr is likely to include homosexual character or not and was tryna think of references to sexuality and the only one i can think of is when Dudley says to harry "who's cedric? your boyfriend?" not sure if that is of any significance but the fact that Dudley is openly homophobic may be a sign that jkr isnt and therefore, i dont know here im going with this, ill shut up!

[Chimera]

Good point, I agree. I think that making a character we love to hate homophobic is a much more tasteful way of addressing LGBT issues, even LGBT oppression (yes it still exists), than by having a character play the token gay.

[Mistress Siana]

Hm, I most definitely remember an interview in which JKR said Sirius was much too busy being a Marauder to be interested in girls...and left that open to interpretation.

[Chimera]

I was too interested in mischief in school to have time for chasing girls - doesn't mean I was straight, just busy.
