fuck, i never thought about that

You know what, I'm not interested in whatever trauma and abuse Sirius Black got from going against his family.

I'm interested in what trauma he is responsible for in the others.

You can't just act out in a family like that and be the only one in trouble. What about his brother? His cousins? How much did his actions hurt them?

I can imagine Bellatrix in her teens, charged with keeping her sisters and cousins under control, as the eldest daughter that's her job. Sirius, refusing to co-operate. Sirius, in his mind being the hero, rebelling and pushing and misbehaving to spite this family. He gets punished for it, of course, he's embarrassed the family, after all. But Bellatrix is also punished even more. Because she was responsible for him, she should have stopped him, what use is she?

Or he messes around in Hogwarts. Gets letters sent home about his behaviour. And yes, he receives Howlers about his behaviour. But what he doesn't realise, as he wallows in his wounds, is that across the hall at the Slytherin table, Regulus is also suffering from a Howler because he should have sorted his brother out, he should have stopped him, been a good influence. No praise for being the top of his class, nope, just reproaches for not preventing his brother from messing around.

And then after Sirius ran away?

They couldn't punish Sirius for that.

His parents aren't going to blame themselves for it.

No, it's Regulus's fault for not stopping him or telling them. It's Bellatrix's fault. It's Andromeda's fault. It's Narcissa's fault.

Sirius believed himself to be good and noble, rebelling against his family's evil ways. He's convinced they hate him because of him being on the side of good. But they don't care what side he's on. All they care about is the fact that they were punished repeatedly for what he did. And that's why they hate him. What good is his "noble" heart, if it got them in trouble? When he saw Bellatrix after she'd been punished and scoffed and said she deserved it for being a stuck up blood purist? When he saw Regulus with red eyes after his achievements were pushed aside to focus on Sirius's bad behaviour and all Sirius said was that Regulus was a coward and a baby?

Just something I think about

Ao3:

Me:

Sirius: Next person to say “weird flex but okay” is getting thrown of the astronomy tower.

Regulus: Preposterous boast but alas.
