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 think others answered this pretty well. I think the gold from his uncle just started him out, he wasn't disinherited at all and he did get the house and the rest of the Black money when his parents died.

And he's had a vault in his name the entire time. It's not like Muggles where they take your assets and sell your SUV at an auction and all. The goblins are like Switzerland for all intents and purposes. (They might not always stay that way, but that's how they are now.)

A scary thought. The Goblins remind me of the Ferengi and you know how the Ferengi were about cash money.
