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 actually think that it's one of Gringott's security levels:

1. Key, like Harry has.
2. Charmed to allow release on written permission of the rightful owner.

I also think Sirius has no financial advisor (that would be excessively pragmatic of him!) and that Gringott's doesn't care if you're an escaped convict or not--your gold is still as shiny if you are.

True that Sirius has no financial advisor. I mean, I doubt he has a will, but it's the best explanation I've got. Though you're right, the goblins seem to care more about the money than who it belongs to.
