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?

He did mention having an uncle who left him some money. While I doubt it was as much as his parents would have were he the son they wanted, I'd imagine it's enough for a Firebolt. We're told that's a lot of money, but a lot of money by Harry's standards as a 13-year-old or to the Weasleys isn't that that much to someone who came from a wealthy family, even if he only had what his uncle gifted him.

Well, under normal circumstances, I would have said he'd need what little he inherited from Uncle Alphie, but...

That's a moot point now, innit?

Azkaban has a way of cutting down on discretionary spending...
