Space Dementia

“Black’s gaunt face broke into the first true smile Harry had seen upon it. The difference it made was startling, as though a person ten years younger were shining through the starved mask; for a moment, he was recognizable as the man who had laughed at Harry’s parents’ wedding.”

This is another one of my favorite parts of Prisoner of Azkaban, especially the description of Sirius’ smile. Every time I cry my eyes out!😭

So, I know that Sirius’ birthday was a few days ago and I’m a bit late for this but.. Happy (belated) Birthday Sirius. - - I thought a lot about what kind of illustration to do for this occasion and a lot of ideas came to my mind, but they were all really REALLY sad. Lately, I have done nothing but illustrations full of angst and sadness, so I decided at least this time to do something quiet and (a kind of) happy.  Among other things, it had been a while since I wanted to talk about one of my headcanon about Sirius. I ever thought that Sirius was one of those people who loved to feel the earth beneath his feet and as soon as he had the chance he liked to take off his shoes. I believe this is an image that suits well for a free spirit as Sirius was.

“What he really wanted was someone like — someone like a parent: an adult wizard whose advice he could ask without feeling stupid, someone who cared about him (...) . And then the solution came to him. It was so simple, and so obvious, that he couldn't believe it had taken so long — Sirius.” (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)

I have this headcanon in which  Sirius ran away from home during the summer between his 5th and 6th year. After leaving Grimmauld Place, Sirius met Regulus only at Hogwarts, as soon as the new school year began. It probably was not a good reunion. Sorry for the feels, the tears and angst post...... This is the first time I post something like this and I’m a bit nervous....i’m not really satisfied....but better than nothing, no? :) it would be nice to do a whole comic one day  o(╥﹏╥)o

“Sirius was a brave, clever, and energetic man, and such men are not usually content to sit at home in hiding while they believe others to be in danger” (Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix)

Just a Sirius sketch today... I’m sooo sorry guys for this lack activity of the blog but I've been swamped with work in these weeks. and I don’t  know why, lately, I'm very tired. maybe I'm just getting old, or maybe I’m working so hard that my soul is about to leave my body. Anyway, don’t panic! I'll make it! This is just to tell you that I am still alive, I love all of you, the marauders are still there and  I will soon reply to all the asks you sent me in these days! I'm also preparing some sketches, but for now...Mischief Managed! :)

 Sirius:You’ve been buried in this Prison of books, paper, dust and not-really-pleasant smells for hours….. what are you doing?!

Remus:I don't know, Padfoot, what kind of activity so mysterious and complex do you think I’m doing in the library? Try to guess.

Sirius:Oh please, Don’t tell me you’re Studying… WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO STRICT, DWEEB, PREFECT-TO-BE, BOOKWORM?

Remus: Do you mean "diligent"?

Sirius:Yeah, whatever! And no, don't smile, it wasn't a compliment. (a special thanks to my friend @hiyokoven, who was so helpful in writing this! :) )

  Birthday Boy!
