Poor Sev! That's terrible, although I think his child mind feared his father and didn't know how to process it while his adult self feared going dark and maybe even being alone also.
I'm surprised that boggarts don't change as a person grows, because your fear as a child probably would be the same as an adult.
I'm glad Sirius finally got the wake up call.
Author's Response: Always made me wonder what Harry would see in a Boggart after the war...when you think about what does he have left to fear? Hmm...I t hink you just inspired me for my next one-shot!!!
More please!
This is a wonderful story; you've taken a fairly common fanfic trope and given it a nice twist with having Sirius becoming Sev's guardian while de-aged.
I look forward to seeing what happens next, and hope that your muse continues to be generous to you.
Well done!
Very cute and sweet story! I'm really enjoying it. Sev's boggart is so sad, but I'm glad that Sirius is beginning to open his eyes.
I knew Sirius would come around, and he's going to be a great dad to both Harry and Sev.
Very sweet chapter. I love how Harry felt so loved and so surprised that Sirius' greatest fear was of him dying.
Awww, poor Sevvy. Yeah, it came out to be a good thing with Sirius finally seeing the difference between the child amd the adult but still... poor Sevvy.
Poor Severus... but it makes sense that his Boggart would take this form. After all, the thing he probably feared most - Lily dying - has already happened, and he was at least partly responsible. So of course he'd fear himself more than anything else.
What a thoughtful, well-written chapter! I'm glad Sirius finally saw that Sevvy isn't Snape, and that he has a right to be treated like a kid. Looking forward to more!
