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?

And presumably re-inherited after he came out on the Dark Lord's side. Everyone else believed it of him, so why not his mother.

Goblin bankers don't give a pig's ear for the Ministry. As for the active account... Harry's vault is still fine after ten years, so why wouldn't Sirius' be so after twelve years?

I suspect it's entailed. And possibly not just through the male line, as Mrs. Black the Portrait makes a big deal about it being the 'house of [her] fathers', not her husband's.

I see your point, but Sirius was a convicted killer. It makes sense that the Ministry would freeze his assests.

It makes sense, but I don't think that they can actually do it. I don't think the goblins would cooperate.
