#Sirius black is best godfather

[springs-hurts]

I wasn't going to say anything about Sirius today but saw a reel and now I'm messed up.

People out there really think that Sirius thought Harry as an stand in for James. Like no no no, he didn't, he didn't, he did not.

He did compare him with James at some points no denying but he didn't saw him as James😭

As someone has already said on this site(i don't remember who worry) Sirius would never ever think of Harry as James, James was different, 𝘑𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘴.😭

He knew perfectly well about the difference b/w harry and James.

That's it.

Sometimes I have really bad imposter syndrome and I wonder if I'm actually a good writer.

Today I went back and read my little Sirius-raising-Harry one shot from James' perspective beyond the grave and made myself cry throughout basically the whole thing, so maybe I do know what I'm doing.

Here's the story, if you're interested. Thank Merlin for Sirius Black, 1,800 words.

My teenage godson is visiting and we just binge-watched both Hazbin Hotel and Good Omens together. He’s decided that the Hazbin Hotel counterpart pairing to the ineffable husbands (Aziraphale/Crowley) is the “effable”/“F-able husbands” (Husk/Angel Dust).

You know what annoys me? People thinking Sirius mistook Harry for James. And that wretched "Nice one, James!" from the movies.

Sirius? Think Harry is James? BAH.

He saw James' dead body. He was there, that night. He saw James lying limp in the doorway, eyes blank and glasses broken. He saw Lily, dead in front of his crying godson's crib, saw the destruction wreaked by Voldemort over his brother's house and life. He knew James was dead. He'd seen the dead body.

We are told several times that Sirius only remained sane in Azkaban because he knew James was dead, and that was not a happy thought. So why the ever loving fuck, would he mistake Harry for James? Why would he think Harry— his very much alive godson and very much a young boy— is James, his dead best friend and brother?

HE WOULD NOT.

Stop spreading these lies, honestly. And fuck the movies for making Sirius' last words "Nice one, James".

James: Harry! Did you break the flower vase?

Harry: no

James: are you being serious with me right now?

Harry: no, I’m being Harry, *points at his godfather* he’s Sirius

James: *sighs* I knew we should have picked Remus

[whereis-mypizza]

[v-a-l]

The worst thing about Wolfstar is that Remus’ mediocrity and negligence is blamed on Sirius to facilitate a false equivalence that hinges entirely on Remus having Sirius’ personality and Sirius having no personality.

Sirius + Harry + James hanging out together

Sirius crouches down on the ground, knees digging into the plush carpet and providing a warmth that the outside couldn’t bring. It’s cosy here, in the Potters living room, always has been. It’s one of his favorite places to be.

In his hand, is a blue little wooden train car, and he pushes it along the carpet, puffing out his cheeks and making animated steam train sounds with his mouth. He screeches, one eye squinting shut when the wooden train approaches a mountain, and prepares itself to go up.

The wooden toy with rickety wheels turns up, climbing over socked little toes, darting up a chubby leg and racing up his little body. He makes zooming noises with his mouth, so expressionate it makes little Harry burst out with laughter as the train zips over his head and back down the other side of him.

He laughs so hard his little face goes red, and whilst grabbing his feet, he begins to topple backwards.

Sirius drops the toy, hands darting out to catch the boy before his head hits the ground. On this plush carpet, no damage was sure to be done, but Sirius worries about his Godson. One can never be too careful, he believes.

Harry doesn’t relent with his giggling and Sirius begins to worry if the sweet boy can breathe at all. He lifts Harry high into the air, giving him a little shake that has him wiggling his arms and legs about with joy. And in one swift movement, he pulls Harry down into his hold and snuggles him tight, slapping dramatic kisses all over his chubby little face.

Harry is delighted by this, and he grabs for Sirius’ hair, small fingers trying to twist between the strands, but Sirius has it tied into double braids so no strands find themselves wrapped taught around his fingers.

That had happened, not too long ago, a strand of Lily’s hair had the babe crying so hard they rushed into St Mungoes for help. Now, there’s a strict rule to keep all hair tightly tied back, and double braids seem to be working the best for Lily, so Sirius bites.

He clicks his tongue, tutting at his Godson with a smile, “No, no, no, little Bambi. That’s my hair, you’ll get your own someday. If you turn out to be anything like your dad I promise you’ll have a glorious mop to mess with anytime you-“

“Oi!” James shouted, cutting across the living room to continue hanging decorations. It’s Lilys birthday today, and they’re going to have a party. Sirius is supposed to be helping with the decorations, but how is he supposed to get anything done when playing with Harry and his trains are an option?

Harry giggles some more.

Sirius sets him back down, sitting flat on his own arse now, Harry between his legs. They both face the little toy train tracks, and Sirius reaches to pull everything closer so Harry can play. He picks up a red train and shows it to Sirius, incoherent rambling leaving his lips until he’s blowing spit bubbles and laughing to himself. Sirius can’t help but laugh too.

“WOW!” Sirius gasped, “That story truly is magnificent, Harry.”

Harry smiles and turns back to his trains, leaning forward until he’s crawling, pushing the train back and forth a little distance. He’s trying to make zooming noises, just as Sirius had. With a smile, Sirius grabs his own train and makes noises for Harry to imitate.

The little boy makes his train zip around, laughing every time his crashes into Sirius’, the little rascal. He really is just like his dad.

Harry makes his train go up the hill of Sirius’ leg, and crawls along to make it drive up his torso and over his head, which Sirius had to lean down in order for Harry to reach.

Harry is beside himself with giggles, so Sirius snatches him up to tickle and blow raspberries on his puffy cheeks. His laughter is so delightful, Sirius can’t help but feel a tremendous amount of love for the baby. He’d do anything to ensure that laughter never dies. He’d do anything for Harry, anything at all.

Harry smiles at him, now held closely in Sirius’ arms for a cuddle. He presses a soft kiss to Harry’s brow and whispers, “I love you, Harry.”

Harry smiles up at him, little hands reaching up to grab at Sirius’ face. He tries to bring himself closer, and Sirius moves him where he likes, and Harry presses a kiss to the high of Sirius’ cheek. Or, well, what he supposes is a kiss. Harry just opened his mouth and pressed it to Sirius’ face, letting his slobber get everywhere in the process, and he popped his lips to imitate the sound of a kiss his parents always make when giving him kisses.

Sirius smiles at the boy, and smacks another dramatic little kiss on his cheek, and Harry goes to kiss Sirius’ nose, leaving it covered in saliva as well. Sirius laughed, smacking a few kisses all over the baby's chubby face, and Harry, of course, copy’s his behaviour, and by the time he’s done, Sirius’ face is wet and smells of formula.

“You are lucky you’re just a baby, Harry.” Sirius says, lifting the bottom of his shirt to wipe his face, “That is disgusting,” he says, sticking out his tongue in distaste.

Harry is beside himself with laughter again.

Sirius sits him back down on the ground between his legs, handing Harry the red train again, racing him with his own. James takes a seat on the ground beside them, clearly bored of setting up all on his own.

“He really loves you.” James comments, reaching out to pet his son on the head, “Thinks you’re the coolest.”

“I am the coolest.” Sirius says with a flourish of his hand, flicking a braid back behind his ear.

“I’m glad to know he has you if…”

“Don’t think about that, James.” Sirius said, putting a hand on the other man’s thigh to soothe him, “Nothing will happen to you. I’ll keep you safe, always.”

James smiled sadly, leaning his head over onto Sirius’ shoulder. He’s so tired these days, always so tired.

“Harry will grow up a happy boy.” Sirius said, nodding as if his words were certain. And to him, they were, he believed every single one of them.

Many years later, he’ll think about those words, all those promises he made, and they’ll haunt him.

“You and Lily will watch him grow, Prongs, I’ve no doubts about it. We’ll win the war for him. He’ll be the reason the war is won, I can feel it in my bones.” 

ouch, sorry about that

[mrsnerdygirl]

His eyes burned suddenly and he blinked. He felt stupid for admitting it, but the fact that he had had someone outside Hogwarts who cared what happened to him, almost like a parent, had been one of the best things about discovering his godfather... and now the post owls would never bring him that comfort again...

The fact that this is all we got in regards of the pain is insane.

I know it is a books for children, but we need an adult version for Harry Potter. I need to feel the pain that these books hold right now .

[bananacat890203]

Clingy Godfather~!!!!

[padfootswhiskers]

sirius was not reckless when it came to harry send tweet

[impishtubist]

I’m rewatching poa and I have a new headcannon that the reason Harry was able to produce such a powerful patronus to save Sirius and himself is because he was thinking of he and Sirius living together after hogwarts because after less than 3 hours with Sirius that’s his happiest memory

Oh yes 100%! That mere daydream of getting to live with Sirius was enough to produce Harry's most powerful Patronus yet. He has known the man for three hours and already he is Dad and Harry will die for him!!! Just having an adult actually care about him for once gave him so much happiness! He was so starved for it! I'm gonna be sick.

[springs-hurts]

Do you understand how much I hate and love this scene? We'll be proper family " Gods! I can't- like plotwise I know it's next to impossible to have Sirius alive for it'll affect the deathly Hallows plot( I don't mind tbh)

But Harry was that one last thing for whom Sirius was living, Sirius would have liked to go the way he did, while battling but I don't think he ever wanted to leave Harry behind.

I'm happy that he'll be with James again, on the other hand, I'm sad that Harry won't have his godfather, one person with whom he could behave like a kid.

The way he asked and denied and then accepted that Sirius wasn't coming back, oh! I think that was one of the best written scenes in the whole series. In the top 3 even.

In the whole damn series there are only 4 people I care bout, two sets of best friends. One set is gone, another lives on...

I hate it I hate it I hate it.

[myheadisemptyffonly]

Cute and all but how is that even a hobbie? Proff that Sirius Black is the best godfather.
