Sirius has tattoos. All of them are black and white. Harry colours them in.

Constant as the Northern Star

Fifteen-year-old Harry Potter sat at the warm dark kitchen table of Grimmauld Place. His elbows were on the table and his fingers pinched the bridge of his nose causing his round glasses to lay askew on his face. His astronomy homework was spread out in front of him. He was pretty sure it was mocking him.

"Use the knowledge of coordinate graphing and ordered pairs to create a map of the Summer Sky in the Northern Hemisphere."

The stars and planets on his parchment seem to refuse to align themselves into the neat patterns Professor Sinistra had described in class. Frustration gnawed at him, but he was determined to conquer the assignment, or at least finish the homework before Hermione nagged him again.

A door creaked open and Harry looked up to see his godfather, Sirius Black enter the room. His tall frame filled in the doorway as he observed Harry for a moment, taking the mess Harry had made of his kitchen table before he made his way to the table.

"Having some trouble with homework, Harry?" Sirius asked, pulling up a chair beside him and leaning back against the chair until the two front legs hovered above the ground.

Harry sighed, pushing his parchment away. "Yeah, astronomy. I can't seem to make sense of it. It's just a bunch of dots to me. I asked Lupin to help before he left this morning but he apologized and said he had slept through most of his astronomy classes"

Sirius let out a small chuckle as he picked up the sextant that Harry was using as a paperweight "Yeah, he was always fond of a nap. Always tired, the poor sod. Could never get him to a class before ten in the morning either."

Harry was reminded of the first time he met Lupin, sleeping on the Hogwarts Express. Hermione and Ron thought he was dead. Before Harry could share the memory Sirius gave Harry a surprising offer, "Well, I used to be quite good at Astronomy. Want me to help you out?"

Harry's green eyes narrowed as he looked at his closed textbook. As if trying to judge the seriousness of the question. "You would do that?"

"Of course," Sirius replied with a warm smile. "I always enjoyed stargazing. You know, it's not just about memorizing constellations; it's about understanding the origins of the universe and the evolution of life and matter. Especially when you get to the more theoretical stuff if you take NEWT level."

Harry silently nodded. The only time he could remember an adult offering to help with his homework was Florean Fortescue the summer before his third year.

Sirius began to explain the basics of charting the stars. He helped Harry renumber the coordinates on his parchment and shared a few facts about the stars they were charting as they worked their way along the map. Sirius enthusiastically discussed the differences between Hipparchus' and  Ptolemy's star catalogs and the importance of the Dunhuang Star map.

As Harry did his best to absorb the knowledge, he looked at Sirius with curiosity. "How did you become so good at Astronomy? Did you want to be an astronomer?"

Sirius's expression grew somber and gave a dark snort. "No, didn't really have time to think about a career before. Went straight into fighting a war and then, well you know what happened after."

It dawned on Harry for the first time how young Sirius and his parents were during the first war. That they didn't even have time to think about their careers before getting swept up in the last war.

"We didn't share many interests or beliefs," Sirius set down the quill he was holding and turned his body to face Harry while he spoke "But stargazing as a hobby was something that I always enjoyed doing with my father. It was an interest that we could share together." Sirius looked over Harry's shoulder and pushed a long strand of hair out of his face. Harry thought Sirius' eyes must be lingering on the Black Family crest on the wall behind him "Looking at the stars always brought me peace, Harry, even in the darkest of times."

Harry pondered this for a moment before asking, "Can you show me how to find London in the night sky? I'd like to know where you are while I'm at Hogwarts."

Sirius's eyes twinkled and he gave Harry a small smile. "Certainly, Harry. Let me show you some basics of celestial navigation."

Sirius picked up the quill again and emphasized how knowing the location of the North Star was crucial for navigation. He showed Harry tips on how to easily find the North Star and described the concept of Polaris as a constant guide in the night sky.

One summer later, locked up in Privet Drive, Harry looked out his tiny bedroom window and charted the stars the way his godfather had taught him and found the brightest star in the sky, Sirius, in the vast celestial expanse.

Though exhausted with grief, Harry felt a warmth that went beyond the summer sky and the boundaries of time and distance. In the darkest moments, Harry would look up at the stars, knowing that he could always find his way, guided not just by the north star but by the glow of the brightest star, by the love of a godfather who would always, in some way, be a part of his life.

I'm a fan of fanfics where Sirius and Harry live together after the PoA ( I seen very few tho, if you know ANY fics like that, please please tell me), but I think everyone gets it wrong. Yes, Sirius loves Harry very much, and would try his best for him, but he's still a very traumatised and irresponsible character. Yes, Harry is a good kid, but yet again he's very traumatised, and doesn't really know Sirius at all.

So, I think, that it would be a disaster. At first Sirius would be overexcited and Harry oversuspicious ( cause you know, he doesn't really know that adults can be NOT abusive, so he probably just expects Sirius to be slightly better than Dursleys, which is a very low bar), than when everything settles a bit, they'll start to fight ( because everyone one, who live together fight or argue at some point) and Harry will run away, because it's only coping mechanism he knows, and it's going to be a vicious cycle of guilt, arguments and all things like that for quite some time. I personally think that Sirius and Harry wouldn't be able to live peacefully ever, because if Sirius will be lenient Harry will feel neglected, but if Sirius tries to parent Harry he won't know, how to react to it, and will either comply without really understanding or considering his opinions or yet to defy Sirius.

So yes, I love the idea, but it's an unbearably angsty one

SIRIUS' BIRTHDAY WEEK !!!!!!!!! @lilacella's post btw x

day iv : what if harry grew up with sirius?

sirius and harry are kind of my roman empire. i think sirius likes the concept of kids - he's good with them, kids love him. he was ecstatic when lily and james announced they were expecting, he was like a third parent from day one (he made up for both sets of grandparents being dead), he was the only one who attended harry's christening.

sirius adored harry, and harry loved sirius. he would cry every time sirius handed him over to someone else, he never got tired around his godfather, padfoot was his first word.

i think if hagrid had given sirius harry, sirius would've sat down and used his brain. with harry, he had responsibility, he had to be smart and think shit through for his godson. without harry? he was just a twenty-one year old who'd lost everything - he didn't have a reason to not act on impulse. harry was taken care of, right? the one person he still had left?

had sirius had harry, someone from Before, he would've gone to dumbledore, moody, remus - anyone. he would've told them everything, he would've chased peter down, yes, of course, but he would be less careless about it. he would have a reason to be.

and, god, harry would grow up so, so loved. he would have sirius - he would have remus, maybe, he would have sirius' friends, he would go on playdates, he would have had a big room and posters and made big messes in the kitchen at 3am and he would know his parents. he would know everything there was to know about them, he would've had every letter they'd written, every picture they were in. he wouldve visited their graves and their home, and their homes before that and he would ask a hundred questions and sirius would give two hundred answers.

every card harry makes, sirius has them kept in a drawer. when harry's in hogwarts, he writes twice a week to the point where sirius himself suggests that he reach out, make some friends. (he's reminded of james, who spent the first month writing to his parents obsessively till he finally got used to going to sleep without a dinner-in-bed. he doesn't mention it until harry asks why he's gone quiet.)

i dont know how the order of the seven books would have gone. i think sirius would still sacrifice himself. i think sirius would still die in the end of ootp. i think harry would still need his parents.

Based on what I know, I do not think Sirius and Regulus were even taught being gay was possible. I think Walburga/Orion refused to teach them it even exists. So I imagine them finding out like this:

Sirius: Yeah, if I was a girl I would probably date Remus to be honest. Such a shame it’s impossible for me to like him.

James: Impossible? What do you mean??

Sirius: Well you can only like people of the opposite gender.. right?

James: …No, you can like people of the same gender, that exists. It’s a thing.

Sirius: ( °ㅁ°)

Sirius: I must tell Reg
