Fandom Discussion: Sirius and Disinheritance

[themostepotente]

Okay...

Sirius Black was disowned and presumably disinherited, right?

And I mean, what need of money does one have in Azkaban, right?

In PoA, Sirius buys Harry a Firebolt. This is not a cheap broom, mind you.

So where on fucking EARTH did Sirius get the money for this?

C'mon now, Swiss account? And even if he did still have an active account, I mean, like what the fuck, his financial advisor didn't rob his ass blind?

As funny as I find the idea of Sirius digging for a buried coffee can, the likelihood of his a.) finding it after a thirteen year stint at Azkaban, b.) fuck, I don't have a 'b'.

I'm also assuming he doesn't get willed the house at Grimmauld. He's the only one left in his immediate family, it just passes to him. And it's in such a shambles, is it really worth anything?

Well, yeah -- you get my meaning.

Ideas, people?

I may have to go look at the books-- I *swear* Sirius mentions something about being left a bit of money by a (great?) uncle who disliked Sirius' mother. And I want to say his name is Alfred. Alphard, maybe?

Or, I could be talking completely out of my arse.

No, you are not- Sirius did have an uncle"who left him a bit of gold".

Also, assuming that Sirius had a little money before going to school, it is possible that he had all that money for all those year sand did not get to use until Harry was 13-15. And then of course he would get Harry a broom, cool books and the like.

I would think that any money prior to adulthood would have been confiscated.

But then, what the fuck do I know? I didn't remember shit about the phantom uncle.

It's Uncle Alphie all right.

So nope, no talking out of your arse. *chuckles*
