#canis major sirius

[metalomagnetic]

Will we have the chance to read Marvolo's conversation with Voldemort in Canis Major as well? It would be really interesting to see that moment from Voldemort's POV.

Yes, we will see the scene in Canis Major.

here, a little snippet:

---

The child looks like her. And yet, when the boy realises he’s been caught and he whirls around, Voldemort can recognise Sirius in him, too. 

It angers him to see proof of that marriage, to see the fruit of it, alive, not just in a picture. 

The eyes are Sirius’ and…the anger mixes with something else. Painful, unwanted, a foreign feeling blooming in the pit of his stomach. 

The boy is unnaturally tall for his age, looks like he should be at Hogwarts already. Voldemort noticed the other children as they fled, and this boy was towering over the others. Yet his features are still very childish, and his eyes widen with fear. 

Sirius’ eyes. 

Voldemort doesn’t know how to make himself look less frightening. Oh, he suspects he still has the skill to fool a grown man, if he’s so inclined, to appear harmless, but children…children, in all their stupidity, often have better instincts. 

“Which Black are you?” he asks, stopping in the doorway, in an attempt to reassure the child, give him space. 

You’re blocking the door, though. His only way out. 

He knows the boy’s name. Oh, how he knows it. But he wants to hear it. He hadn’t heard that name out loud, not since he was four and Cole told him his full name. Never after that. 

The child rises his chin, defiant, proud, even if still afraid. 

“Marvolo.” 

It sounds unreal. He still can’t believe it. 

“Quite an odd name,” he says. “I thought Blacks favour stars and constellations. What does it mean?” 

The child looks around, quickly, trying to find another way out of the room. 

There isn’t any. 

“I’m named after a special friend of my Father’s,” he says, and Voldemort’s heart twists, viciously.

Sirius hated his name.

He hated the thought of being his father's (Orion's) dog till one day Remus kissed him and said his name as if it was the most sacred thing in the world

Prompt 19 - Astronomy Tower

@wolfstarmicrofic November 19, word count 384

“Hey Moony, what are you doing up here?” Sirius asks as he folds the marauder's map away. Remus doesn’t startle at all. He probably heard Sirius coming, what with his insane werewolf hearing and sense of smell. 

“What does it look like I’m doing? I’m way behind on my star charts because of the damned full moon, and I need to get caught up before Professor Jarvis wants them handed in,” Remus grumbles as he looks through his telescope that is balanced precariously on the railing surrounding the Astronomy Tower. Sirius sighs and moves closer so he can see what Remus has written down. He hates that he’s good at astronomy, with a name like Sirius. It would be odd not to be. But the literal years that his parents forced him to memorise every single thing about the night sky that he could, is permanently seared into his memory.

“Moony, Moony, Moony, you total outrage,” He said in a mock disappointed voice, tsking at the end. “After all these years you still can’t identify my star. Oh, Moony, do you even love me?” 

“What? Oh, shit, sorry,” Remus stares down at his scroll of parchment and quickly erases the error. 

“Do you need some lessons from Professor Black?” Sirius asked teasingly. Remus sighs. 

“Would you? That would relieve some of the stress. I just can’t remember all the separate names for everything.” Sirius takes pity on him, but he’s also going to have a bit of fun with this. He moved behind Remus and wrapped his arms around his chest and waist. Holding him close to his body. Remus relaxed into him like he always did. 

Sirius turned them so they were pointing at Canis Major. 

“See that really bright star right there?” He asked, letting his hand slide down from where it rested against Remus’s chest to his wrist and guiding his hand through the air. 

“Yes,” Remus breathed out, a slight tremor running through his body as Sirius’s breath tickled against his ear. 

“That’s me.” 

They did this for a  few more stars and constellations before Remus had had enough. He spun in Sirius’s arms, and Sirius was ready for him. It was such a cliché making out in the astronomy tower, but honestly, Sirius didn’t care even the tiniest bit.

The star Sirius, α Canis Majoris // Spencer Collins

The name Sirius comes from the Ancient Greek word seirios, meaning "glowing" or "scorcher". It may also have an etymological connection to the Egyptian god Osiris.

thinking about sirius black's molessssss

[mrsfrecklesmarauders]

When Sirius turned 11, it was a great honor for the Black Family. It was a symbol that Sirius would go to the precious school many Blacks had gone for generations and the meaning of Sirius’s first steps of becoming a man.

It was a great honor for Pollux that his heir was growing up. So for his birthday, he decided to give him a special gift: a silver necklace with his constellation Canis Major with a diamond as his star (Sirius). In the back, his initials engraved S. O. B.

None of Pollux's other grandchildren had received such gift, so they were envious. And Regulus as a nine-year-old was jealous and wanted one as well.

He cried not only because he wanted one as well but because Sirius would leave to Scotland.

Sirius was the special one. The Heir.

Sirius, seeing that his little brother was sad, gave him his necklace before leaving for Hogwarts, ensuring that he would always be with him through it. And will always be there to take care of him.

Sirius never cared about the necklace anyway.

When Regulus turned eleven, he received a similar gift with the Leo Constellation and his Star Regulus as a diamond with the initials R. A. B in the back. Pollux gave him one out of compromise, as the spare and his second male grandchild. Symbol of Regulus also turning into a man.

So Regulus, having yet his brother's necklace, decided to give Sirius his. And it was a little secret between them. They had each other's necklaces and no one knew.

With time, they grew up and forgot about them mostly, until Sirius ran away. Amongst his things he carried Regulus's necklace. And he wore it when he missed his brother. He told everyone it was about Leo (the lion) because of Gryffindor. And showed no one the R. A. B initials.

Regulus, who stayed behind, started wearing Sirius’s necklace again, hidden behind his clothes. So no one will see he missed his older brother.

That's it, that's my headcanon.

Bracelet I made! I’m definitely going to make some more marauders ones

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I could write for a Coptp or Just Lovers bracelet?

[reggies-fake-horcrux]

the Sirius star is meant to always orbit around regulus, every year it gets so close to regulus that it looks like they will collide, but they don't. if sirius and regulus collided they would merge and then explode.

[zsrntyouil]

Asked my dad his fav star and he answered Sirius and Regulus. Guys he never read harry potter and I don't live w/ him anymore (he never hear me talk abt them). This. Is. Fate.

Hi metalo! How are you? Hope your injury is getting better.

I wanted to ask if you had any scenes for Cannis Major, where V sees Sirius making an effort to support or show care to V. Like when Sirius tried to make tea for him when he was pissed off. Or took him to Black Manor and shared his childhood with him and maybe any other time where Sirius is obviously in love and showing it (whether V realises it or not)

Unfortunately, my injury got worse, but now it's slowly getting better again. I don't know what beef life has with me, but I hope it gives me some relief, eventually.

Let me look in my folder of all the deleted Canis Major scenes! I'm pretty sure I wrote something about the tea scene! Please don't mind if it's rough, I struggle to edit properly today.

There it is! Hope you enjoy it, even if it is a bit whimsy.

***

When he enters the house, he hears loud banging from the kitchen; he just managed to get his anger under control, but it's awakening again when he goes to investigate and see the mess- no, the destruction- Sirius managed, and in such a short time, too.

Pots, pans, plates, thrown around everywhere. Even the cutlery drawer is open and ravaged.

It puts Voldemort on edge, that part of his brain that cannot stand disorder.

"What are you doing?"

Sirius kicks a cabinet with his foot, trying to close it. It won't, because he shoved too many things inside it.

"I'm making you tea," he barks. "But your furniture refuses to cooperate."

Voldemort's dark mood vanishes, on the spot. Suddenly, the mess doesn't make him want to strangle Sirius, but amuses him, instead.

He's most amused that Sirius thought a cup of tea would calm Voldemort's anger, as if he's a moody old grandmother only appeased by tea and jam.

Bellatrix is the same; when she notices he is tired, or displeased, she offers him tea. But even she has the good sense not to think of it when Voldemort is in a rage.

Yet the fact that Sirius attempted it, nevertheless, that he wanted to lighten Voldemort's mood...

And it's not because he fears Voldemort's anger, no. This isn't motivated by fear.

"Go on, then. Make tea."

He tries. It only makes Voldemort smile wider. He doesn't know why this makes him smile, this level of incompetence was never something to amuse him, but Sirius- well, everything looks good on Sirius, even failing to boil water.

Sirius is a talented portioneer, but somehow it doesn't translate to the kitchen, even if these skills usually overlap. Perhaps this is the first time he is actually using a stove, because it seems to confuse him greatly.

"Spoiled, rich brat," Voldemort mutters, but it's with fondness, instead of his usual disdain for purebloods raised in luxury, with house elves to serve their every need.

He takes pity on Sirius- and on his kitchen- so he takes over, removing Sirius from the stove before he burns down the house.

When he serves the tea, and he's done cleaning up, Sirius frowns at his cup.

"I don't understand how you make it so good."

He remembers Sirius claiming he isn't a fan of tea, unless it's spiked with alcohol. But that was long ago, when they only just met.

These days, Sirius never refuses when Voldemort offers, even if he only adds a splash of milk to it, and not an ounce of vodka.

"It's made with love," Voldemort drawls, and Sirius rolls his eyes.

He watches Sirius enjoy the beverage. Voldemort doesn't quite taste his own. Hasn't, in a long time, but he still enjoys it because at least it's hot, and it warms him, even if there's only a hint of flavour, like it's the case with everything he eats or drinks.

He finds himself wondering, in case Sirius would have managed brewing it, if Voldemort would have tasted something, then. If he'd have found it better, if some Sirius-like essence would have transferred to the tea, and made Voldemort actually taste it.

Prompt 20 - Constellation

@jegulus-microfic June 20, Word count 476

Previous part First part

Regulus was still reeling from coming home to find Barty on his doorstep. He had no idea who Evan was, but he was grateful he’d turned up and defused the situation because Sirius may have looked calm, but he was just waiting for Barty to make one wrong move, and he’d have launched himself at Regulus's ex. 

Remus slid a cup of hot chocolate across the kitchen table towards him. He grabbed the cup and wrapped his hands around it, relishing the burning heat as it warmed his hands. 

“So that was fun,” Sirius joked as he opened a packet of chocolate hobnobs and dumped the whole packet onto a plate that he placed in the middle of the table. Remus immediately snatched one up and dunked it into his hot chocolate. 

Sirius was flipping the card Evan gave him over in his hand. “What are we going to do the next time he ‘stops by’? We can’t keep letting this happen,” Sirius muttered darkly. 

“He’ll get the picture eventually,” Regulus replied quietly. He wanted all this Barty business to be over with. He was sick of having to look over his shoulder all the time. “Can we just stop talking about him now? We were having a good time until he turned up,” he looked over at the stuffed lion James had won for him. It made him smile. No one had ever won anything for him. 

They finished up their hot chocolates and said goodnight. Regulus insisted that James use the bathroom first, and he’d wait. In the quietness of his room, he let out a shaky breath. Would Barty ever leave him alone? He just wanted to be free of him. Live his new life and enjoy it. He put his lion on the dresser and opened the sash window fully, slipping out onto his little balcony. He lifted his head to the skies and sought out the Leo constellation and from there his namesake.

His star glittered back at him brightly, but a little to its right was a far brighter star. His brother’s star. He sighed, Barty had been the only one to prefer him over Sirius. Even James had bonded far more with Sirius than he ever had. He was always going to be that little bit duller than Sirius. Always to the left and never beside. Inferior. 

“Hey, love, bathrooms free,” James said happily as he poked his head out of the window.

“Thanks,” Regulus smiled back. He knew it hadn’t quite met his eyes, but James didn’t say anything about it. 

When he came back to his bedroom, James was already snuggled under the covers. Regulus paused a second when he passed his dresser before scooping up his lion and getting into bed. He hugged it all night long while James held him close in his strong arms.

Sirius, α Canis Majoris // Wagner

Sirius (α Canis Majoris) is the brightest star in the night sky being one of Earth's closest neighbors at only 8.6 light years away. Although it appears solitary, it is actually a binary system: one star is a blue-white giant star and the other is a comparatively dim white dwarf.

The giant star is about twice the mass and size of the Sun, while the white dwarf is about the same mass as the Sun, but only about 90% the size of Earth!

The name Sirius comes from the Ancient Greek word Σείριος meaning "glowing" or "scorcher".
