Fandom Discussion: Sirius and Disinheritance
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?
--P

no subject
Or a note -- like Hagrid gave Griphook in PS/SS.
no subject
anyway.
i think about harry's vault, which was left by his parents. yeah, he was still alive, yeah dumbledore was looking out for him, but he wasn't even in the wizarding world. sirius was technically not dead (though how alive you are in azkaban is anyone's guess). i would imagine his gold would just rot away until he showed up with the key for it.
as fastidious as the goblins are depicted, i can't imagine them handing it over to anyone. especially since sirius had no trial, and therefore it would be pretty hard (legally) for the ministry to seize it.
then again, i have no concept of wizarding laws.
