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?

My answer - his mother reinherited him when he "offed" the Potters and "showed his true colors."

Which he didn't.

But everyone (including dear old Mum) thought he did, and thus, even though he was in Azkaban, he was able to inherit when she died (though he probably couldn't actually access the money).

I figure she let him back into the family because he was finally showing the ideals that she wanted. *nods*

Though that doesn't explain why he's still not on the Tapestry...maybe you can't be put back on once you're off it?

Ooh, that's a great premise for a fic.

Thank you!

Feel free to write it, if you want - I haven't got the time, between homework and other stuff.

Just as long as Hagrid and Fleur aren't present. *G*

Ooh, that IS an interesting idea in general.

That's an interesting thought, but if that was true, why bother redeeming yourself if that mattered at all?

[rosefyre.livejournal.com]

True. And maybe it matters elsewhere, just not on the specific tapestry? I'm not sure, honestly.
