if I said Sirius was the first person James and Lily offered to hold their baby (because it certainly wasn't their dead parents)!!
If I said it had only been one or two hours since Harry was born and yet Sirius was listening to Lily's tired but gentle instructions as James placed their baby in his hands!!
If I said he cried because Harry was so tiny, so precious just so lovable and he realized it would take literally nothing for him to lay down his life for Harry and it was all so fucking magical!!
How'd you spend your last day of 2023? For me I just read a fic about Harry Potter's dead father and Harry Potter's dead dogfather's long dead brother falling in love over and over again till 4am🧍🏻♀️
The fourth book is just where Sirius shines as a godfather. So worried about Harry he subsides off of rats in a cave. And when Harry walks, hobbled injured, into Dumbledore’s office after the triwizard tournament Sirius is so angry and worried about Harry he’s literally shaking.
It’s sad, but this is just such a strong, impactful moment. To see how much Sirius cares about Harry and how seriously he took his duties as his godfather. As his protector. As his family.
He even stands up to Dumbledore, pushes back on his request to question Harry about the night. And Harry is so relieved because he doesn’t want to talk about it and he’s never had someone there before, an adult, to advocate for him. It’s a bittersweet moment but a precious one all the same.

Ok so prompt idea: Sirius cries every time Harry and Ginny announce they’re going to have a baby
Sorry I just had to do it, I’m obsessed with them but feel free to do whatever you want!!😉
lmao well played, sending me my own prompt to write! You're lucky I had something in my abandoned drafts folder that actually sort of fits this prompt...but if anyone else in the future wants to write this, PLEASE DO, I will never get tired of this idea.

“We, um. We have something for you. A couple of presents.”
Sirius arches an eyebrow at him. “Harry, it’s April. Why are you getting us presents in April?”
“Erm...you’ll see. Hold on.”
Harry pulls two tiny packages out of his pocket, then enlarges them with a tap of his wand to normal size. He pushes them across the table to Sirius and Remus, who exchange confused looks.
“They’re not going to explode,” Harry says. “It’s--it’s good, I promise.”
Sirius reaches for the gift in front of him, and after a moment, Remus does the same. They’re both wrapped in red and gold paper, which Sirius tears off to reveal a box. He lifts the lid and pulls out a truly garish mug, the colors bright and clashing, and turns it to read the words stamped on it in gold.
“World’s Best Grandpa,” he reads aloud, and then his brain immediately whites out. What.
“Oh my god,” Remus whispers, staring wide-eyed at his own mug. His hand fastens on Sirius’s forearm, his grip bordering on painful. “Oh my god. Are you two--”
“Ginny’s pregnant,” Harry blurts.
“You’re having a baby?” Sirius says blankly.
And then Ginny holds up two fingers.
“Oh my god,” Remus says again, at the same moment that Sirius squeaks, “Twins?”
“Erm, surprise,” Harry says sheepishly.
Sirius gets up so quickly that his chair tips over, dives across the distance between them to wrap Ginny in a tight hug. And then he’s got Harry in his arms, Harry laughing wetly in his ear as Sirius threatens to crack his ribs.
“Harry Potter,” he says, pulling back, attempting to look stern even though he knows it’s completely ineffective through his tears, “I told you you weren’t allowed to make me a grandfather before fifty!”
Harry wipes his eyes and grins. “Sorry, Pads.”
Sirius takes Harry’s face in his hands and kisses him on the forehead. “You’re gonna be an excellent dad. You know that, right?”
“I’m gonna try.” Harry sniffs. He gives Sirius a meaningful look and says, “Learned from the best, didn’t I?”
Sirius pulls him into another hug, one hand cupping the back of Harry’s head while the other rubs his back, marveling at the young man in his arms. It seems like only yesterday he was hugging a too-thin thirteen-year-old for the first time in the tunnel under the Whomping Willow, and now Harry’s all grown up and with a baby on the way. Two babies on the way, Merlin. They’re going to need a bigger cottage.
“Love you,” he whispers, kissing Harry’s messy mop of hair. “Love you so much, Harry James.”
“Love you, too, Sirius.”
Sirius then releases him to grab Remus around the waist and spin him in a circle. “We’re gonna be granddads.”
