Rating: PG
Prompt #: #120
Word count:~6900
Summary: Sirius dies only a few months into his stay in Azkaban, back in 1982. So why is it that there’s a dot on the Marauder’s Map that says ‘Padfoot?’
Warnings: Highlight to read *Character death, but not in a bad way*
Disclaimer: I do but play, y’all. JKR, all hail.
A/N: I really had a lot of fun writing this! I love Sirius, but the opportunity to write him … post-mortem, so to speak, has never before presented itself. It was going to be a bit more humorous at the outset, but then this happened, so I hope it works for you all!

Blame figliaperduta for the delay. It's all me. I make it up to you this week with something (relatively) short, and also that's tied in to this week's meta post!

Title: The Dog and His Boy
Author: planetgal471, who is apparently better known as rhye
Artist: Deathjunke
Characters/Pairings: Sirius, Harry, Remus, various people at Hogwarts, and the Dursleys. Light Sirius/Remus, but only at the very end.
Rating: PG
Word Count: 32,282
Author's Summary: After the canon events of October 1981, Sirius is not captured by Aurors. He transforms into his animagus form, and he follows Harry to the Dursleys'. Harry grows up with the feisty Padfoot as his best friend and companion and thus, when he is accepted into Hogwarts at his 11th birthday, he refuses to come unless he can bring his dog as his familiar. Once at Hogwarts, Snape is behaving suspiciously and mysteries unfold. Can Padfoot prevent harm from befalling the boy he thinks of as his own son? Does Dumbledore suspect that Padfoot is more than just a dog?
