Well, at first, Sirius would be in a state of shock and panic. But then he'd have to step up. Their relationship would shift from one of equals (in a sense, as Harry was growing up) to a caretaker - cared - for dynamic. Sirius would have to learn about Harry's likes and dislikes as a baby. He'd sing lullabies to him, comfort him when he cries. This new experience would make their bond stronger in a very different way. Harry might not remember all of it when he's turned back, but there would be a subconscious change in how he feels towards Sirius, a deeper sense of security and love that stems from those baby - days when Sirius was his whole world.
Their relationship would be severely damaged. Harry would likely feel betrayed by Sirius. After all, Sirius is supposed to be one of his protectors. It would be a huge breach of trust. Sirius, on the other hand, would probably be filled with guilt if he realizes his mistake. He would have to work hard to regain Harry's trust, if that's even possible in the context of the fanfic.
The relationship could also take a more complex turn. Other characters might get involved in their conflict. Some might side with Sirius, thinking Harry was in the wrong, while others might try to mediate. This outside influence could either help or hinder the mending of their relationship, depending on how it's handled in the fanfic.
Well, their relationship would be in tatters. Harry would probably avoid Sirius like the plague after such an event. Sirius, on the other hand, would be at a loss for how to deal with what has happened. He might feel betrayed, even though he knows Harry was forced. This would create a huge rift between them that would take a lot of time and effort, if ever, to mend. It would also change the way they interact with other characters in the fanfiction, as their relationship was an important part of the overall story dynamic.
It's possible that in the cave, they start to see each other as equals rather than just a mentor - student relationship. They might argue about the best way to deal with the cave's mysteries at first, but through that process, they learn to value each other's perspectives. Also, if one of them gets injured in the cave, the care and concern shown by the other would enhance their relationship.
It could potentially strain the relationship. If Sirius misinterprets the situation, it might create some tension. Harry and Hermione would feel like they need to explain themselves, and Sirius might be a bit standoffish until he gets the real story. For instance, if he thought they were hiding something from him, it could make things a bit rocky between them for a while.
Sirius could use his knowledge of the wizarding world's secrets. He might know some hidden places or spells that could keep Voldemort at bay. For example, he could put a powerful protective charm on the place where Harry is staying.
It may explore the emotional bond between them. Sirius could be like a father figure to Harry. He gives Harry advice and guidance, which is different from what Harry gets from others. This special connection makes Harry trust Sirius more than anyone else.
It could develop in a complex way. The spanking incident might initially create tension between them. Harry could be angry or resentful towards Sirius at first.
In this type of fanfiction, the relationship is often explored through emotional depth. For example, Sirius might be portrayed as a mentor to Harry, guiding him through the difficult world of magic. It could also show their shared experiences of loss, which bonds them closer. Maybe Sirius shares his memories of James with Harry, strengthening their connection.
Sirius would probably be very protective. He'd use his magic to create a safe and comfortable environment for Harry. For example, he might conjure up soft, warm bedding for the baby. He'd also try to find the best baby - wizarding supplies, like magic - infused milk bottles that ensure Harry gets all the nutrition he needs.
