I Like To Think Sirius Actually Killed The Muggles. That He Went After Peter, Cast A Blasting Curse At

I like to think Sirius actually killed the muggles. That he went after Peter, cast a Blasting Curse at the traitor, but Peter transformed in the last second, and the curse went into a gas pipe or whatever and BOOM. Twelve muggles dead, the street blown up. Peter flees the scene, the lil' lucky rat, and Sirius stands there, shocked, hysterical, laughing.

When they come for him, he says "I killed them", only he doesn't mean James and Lily, he means the poor muggles.

The Aurors check his wand, and they see the last curse he performed was a Blasting Curse. More than proof enough. They don't imprison him for being a Death Eater (he has no Dark Mark, after all) and betraying James and Lily isn't actually a crime, but they have proof he murdered a street of muggles, and he confessed to it, too, refuses to elaborate, just laughs like a maniac.

Dumbledore does come to the Ministry when he hears they arrested Sirius, but when faced with this proof- well, what is there to do? It's clear as day Sirius actually killed the muggles.

I think I'll go with this from now on; it makes the Ministry look less incompetent, it solves the dilemma of 'why wouldn't Dumbledore even attempt to ask for a trial for Sirius', and while it's still heart breaking Sirius wasted away in Azkaban, at least now he's actually guilty of something, and it isn't just incredibly unfair. Sirius spends 12 years in hell, one year for each of his muggle victims.

Even after Dumbledore learns in Harry's third year that Sirius isn't actually a Death Eater, it's not like he can overturn the guilty verdict or ask for a trial. They are well aware Sirius would be found guilty at a trial, anyway. They all know it, hence why they don't try to clear Sirius' name. Because he's guilty. So Sirius stays on the run. They decide not to tell Harry, because ...well, because he just gained a godfather that loves him dearly, wouldn't do to find out he actually managed to slaughter muggles by accident.

After Sirius dies, the Ministry decides to pardon him, since he's already dead and no longer a threat to the public, and Dumbledore convinces them to do it, as a sort of comfort for Harry.

Now, I'm gonna write a fic about it.

Voldemort POV for 'It runs in the blood'.

Before you read, please be aware that this work is born out of sleep depravation, allergies, back pain and a cocktail of perhaps too many pills! So don't expect much! I needed a distraction and you guys seemed to like the first little paragraph I posted here a week ago, so I gave it a go.

He’s so obvious HDJKFNF

“Sirius is dramatic”

“Sirius is irrational”

“Sirius is materialistic”

I swear these hints of Clueless Sirius are making me so excited.

one of my favourite and imo one of the most underrated fics of yours is metamorphosis. i esp loved the fact that v basically just grew into an extremely overpowered grumpy old man with a morality problem (i mean, to say the least). just generally uninterested in world domination. so my compliments to the chef- it’s brilliant. i love your take on time travel too, and how no one ever finds out. have you considered writing any more time travel? i’ve always imagined it to be particularly challenging logistically.

Metamorphosis was so much fun to write! I'm so happy people gave it a chance, what with the almost crack component, but I genuinely love that fic.

I wanted a time travel where no one ever finds out the character is a time traveller. I just didn't need the angst of the discovery etc etc, even if I know it's a big part of the trope.

And that leads me to your question. Yes, I will write time travel again, because I want a fic where EVERYONE knows the character (Sirius) is a time traveller. There's no angst about it here, either, because it's out there since the get go, it's in the newspapers, it's everywhere, and it's fun. It will be a chaotic Sirius/Tom, with a different dynamic from It runs in the blood, since Tom is so much younger than Voldemort and still rather innocent in the grand scheme of things. I also can't wait to play with the concept that Sirius has no idea who Tom Marvolo Riddle is, and he thins he's juts this poor, oppressed muggleborn stuck in Slytherin and he needs Sirius' protection 😂

Auror Potter receives an anonymous tip that the slippery Sirius Black is hiding a weapon in his house and decides to check out the situation himself.
