[HP Translation] Happiness in Azkaban: The Joys of Azkaban

I think Sirius did not escape from prison in advance to find Harry, not because he was driven crazy by the dementors, but because of normal thinking: when he first found out that James and Lily were dead, his first reaction was to care for the orphans, but Hagrid said that Dumbledore had arranged for Harry's aunt to raise them. Then the situation changes dramatically and he is thrown into jail with no evidence to clear himself unless Peter is caught, but he has no clues about Peter's whereabouts. He could not get out of prison normally and had to escape. Even if he escaped, no friends from the past would help him because they all thought he was a traitor. What kind of life could he provide a small child under such circumstances? And how could he know that Petunia and his wife would abuse Harry? According to common sense, a middle-class family like the Dursleys is the most suitable for children to grow up. It is obviously better than living a homeless life with a fugitive. And it was arranged by Dumbledore, so it seemed to be the most suitable arrangement. In the original book, Sirius asked Harry if he wanted to live with him, saying that after he restored his reputation, he could certainly provide Harry with a good and stable home at that time; and "Of course, if you would like to live with your aunt and uncle, I would understand." Sirius had no idea that Harry had a tense relationship with his aunt and uncle. From Sirius's point of view, James and Lily's child was so cute, how could anyone not love him? Lily is such a kind and brave person, and her sister should not be bad either. How could she be bad to her sister's children? As for Petunia being jealous of Lily, Sirius naturally had no way of knowing; the Dursleys regarded wizards as monsters, and were both afraid and despised. This was really a blind spot for someone like Sirius, who came from an ancient and stubborn pure-blood family. He would never have imagined that Muggles would dare to bully wizards. BTW, I don't think Sirius's happy memories were sucked away by the dementors in Azkaban. Most of his memories about James should be happy. Judging from his deep feelings for James, most of his memories about James should not have been sucked away. After all, he was an Animagus, so Dementors had less influence on him.

The last answer suddenly brought tears to my eyes

555 Xiaotian... It is said that Snape was never truly happy until his death (oh, Stella). Didn't his friendship with Lily make him happy? Wasn't he obsessed with black magic? Even Voldemort made him crazy. What about Xiaotian? Xiaotian only had friendship with James and others, and was betrayed. He felt that he had indirectly killed James and Lily and was in pain, and the last time he laughed was before he died!

You are a happy memory, Harry. And that's a completely twisted place. One sentence is enough. The author is very strong. Worship~

Tears bursting...555... All those NCs from the Black Lion Academy of Black Sirius should die... 555...

I burst into tears watching it, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. In fact, I love Sirius more than Harry! The most beautiful and dazzling star in the night sky, it's a little incredible to me that Regulus gets a higher rating than Sirius. I also clicked the cross when I saw countless fans hacking Sirius. This article is not a whitewash for the sake of whitewashing. The logic is really good and the translator's translation is really good...

By the way, the author seems to have a translation called HP Comfort. I locked it and forgot what it was about. TaT

When I saw the text, I was thinking that there were hundreds of reasons to refute Harry's question. I thought he might have just blurted out to question his godfather when his emotions reached a certain point. Maybe he had hoped many times that he would have an elder who loved him to raise him and give him a happy childhood. So he didn't resent Sirius, but complained about the tricks of fate through this question? After all, just like the reasons mentioned in the comments below, I think they can fully explain why Sirius did not raise Harry before and after he was framed. Although I don't want to see Xiaotian being misunderstood, this article is still good to read. I love reading it no matter how many times Xiaotian recalls the friendship with James in the past. (?-ω-`)

Sirius became the secret keeper to protect the James family, which meant he was prepared to sacrifice himself. It made me cry...

This answer! Happy!
