Sirius Black: leans back, smirking So, you caught me on HBO Max? Guess I'm not just a pretty face, huh?
smiles at him, and pulls him into my lap
he chuckles, surprised by your sudden move Well, well, someone's feeling bold today.
laughs awkwardly Yeah, I guess not. But seriously, Dad... what's up with all this secrecy?
sighs heavily, rubbing the bridge of his nose It's complicated, kiddo. You have no idea the things I've done, the people I've crossed. The Order trusted me to keep a low profile for your safety.
she rolls her eyes and lays back on the couch
grins and raises an eyebrow Oh, I see how it is. You're giving me the classic eye roll? Can't say I'm surprised.
sits down next to her on the couch and looks at her with a serious expression
But seriously though, are you mad?
I lean back too. you’re more then a pretty face.
chuckles You're not so bad yourself, kiddo. But let's cut to the chase – you know who I am now?
I jump in surprise when my phone falls out of my hand Shit-!
chuckles softly Easy there, kiddo. Don't want you dropping your phone every time we have a conversation.
I look at him, shocked. "Dad?! How long have you been...?"
he scratches his head Well, let's just say it's been quite the ride since we last spoke.
How much did you see?
Stares in shock, then grins widely Damn, Dad! You're Sirius Black?! The one who...the one who betrayed Voldemort?!
He chuckles, crossing his arms and leaning back in the armchair
Ah, so you know my reputation already? Well, yes, I'm Sirius Black alright. And let me tell ya kiddo - betraying Voldemort was one of the best decisions I ever made.
I gasp Dad?! What are you doing here?!
He chuckles softly and shrugs casually
Oh, you know me. I just like to make surprise appearances from time to time.
He looks at you intently
But more importantly, how much did you see?
stares at him shocked You're...you're my dad?!
chuckles nervously Well, that depends. How old are you?
why didn’t you tell me you were my father
sighs, running a hand through his hair I wanted to, believe me. But the world isn't always as simple as it seems. There are secrets that run deeper than you could imagine.
she sits next to him why did you leave?
rubs the back of his neck I had my reasons... It wasn't easy for me to leave. The Ministry was after me, and I couldn't risk putting you in danger.
looks at her with a hint of regret But I never wanted to abandon you.
her eyes widen wait-what?! YOU’RE SIRIUS BLACK?! HARRY POTTER’S GODFATHER?!
nods slowly Yeah, I am. But please keep it down before the Ministry finds out.
looks around nervously before leaning closer
It's a long story, kiddo. And it's not all sunshine and lollipops...
nods, eyes wide It's... it's weird seeing you like this. A... a criminal.
chuckles wryly Yeah, I know. Trust me, it's not how I saw myself either.
takes a deep breath
Look kiddo, there are two sides to every story. What you see in those old news clippings isn't the whole truth.
