Physical appearance

He looked over Harry's shoulder. Harry turned around. The man hidden in the shadows closed the door behind them. A mass of dirty, disheveled hair fell to his elbows. The waxy skin was stretched so far over the bones of the face that it looked like a skull. If his eyes had not shone in their deep, dark sockets, they would have believed that he was a corpse. A grimace revealed his yellow teeth. It was Sirius Black. DESCRIPTION OF SIRIUS AFTER LEAVING AZKABAN. Sirius was a well-built, pale-skinned man with long, glossy black hair, striking gray eyes, and an air of "casual elegance." This vestige of aristocratic beauty is apparently an attribute passed down through the Black family. Unfortunately, Sirius's good looks disappeared due to the depression and abuse he suffered during the twelve years he spent in Azkaban. When Harry Potter saw him in the Shrieking Shack, in 1994, he had a gaunt face, sunken cheekbones, waxy skin, yellow teeth and long, matted hair, Harry thought he looked like a corpse. In November, after his escape, he visited Harry at the common room fireplace and was described as having shorter, cleaner hair and a younger face.

Personality and traits

True to the ideals of a Gryffindor student, Sirius was very brave and loyal, as evidenced by his participation in both wars and willingness to die for those he loved. He was a talented and intelligent magician, although he was also quite troublesome, arrogant and mischievous in his youth, with a habit of abusing and bullying people along with his best friend, James; He especially liked doing this to Severus Snape. Sirius could be known as a bore by those who disliked him, sometimes without justification from him; An example of this is when he sent Snape to the Shrieking Shack when they were teenagers, he could have gotten Snape dead, he risked exposing his friend Remus' condition as a werewolf and he risked himself and his friends from being expelled if his "prank" had worked. He was also cruel to his house elf, Kreacher, who praised Sirius's mother and made derogatory comments to members of the Order, but the real reason for his cruelty towards Kreacher was that the unpleasant elf was a living memory of home and family. family he despised. At times, he was irresponsible, risking being caught by the Ministry because he felt like he was in Azkaban in his house and encouraging Harry to take impulsive actions. Much of this can probably be attributed to the years he spent in Azkaban, slowing his emotional development and making him especially eager to spend time and protect those he loves. Yet his heart never faltered, even during his stay in Azkaban. Despite Sirius' good temper, he sometimes proved capable of possessing an explosive temper when he became angry. This trait is shared with both his mother, Walburga Black, and his cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange. His years in Azkaban contributed greatly to his behavior, which became particularly evident during the events of 1993 and 1994 when Peter Pettigrew was captured.

Magical abilities

Animagus: Sirius was able to become an Animagus at the young age of fifteen, assuming the form of a large black dog, like Grim. As he was not registered, he was able to take advantage of this ability to elude his Ministry's captors. Transfiguration: Sirius, along with Remus Lupin, was able to perform human transfiguration on Peter Pettigrew, thus forcing him to abandon his Animagus form. Non-Verbal Magic: Sirius was capable of performing human transfiguration and defensive spells non-verbally. Duel: In his fifth year, Sirius helped James Potter humiliate Severus Snape, who was a talented wizard with exceptional skill, even in his youth. During the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Sirius dueled Lucius Malfoy and Antonin Dolohov and with the help of his godson, Harry, defeated them both. He was also able to easily battle with his own cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange, who was the most powerful Death Eater. However, he made the fatal mistake of ignoring Bellatrix, and even openly mocked her, but after defeating Lucius Malfoy he was hit by the Avada Kedavra curse (however it should be noted that he was taken by surprise) which He made him fall through the veil, causing his death. Sirius was also known for using physical contact in dueling him, such as when he shoulder-butted Dolohov and punched Lucius Malfoy in the face. Healing Spells: Sirius was cured of a Wartcap Dust injury as soon as he received it.

Family

The nature of Sirius's relationship with his family during his early childhood is unknown but at the age of eleven, he received severe disappointment and disagreement from his family for being sorted into Gryffindor house at Hogwarts. Sirius, in return, became rebellious, remarking on his affiliation with his house and his disdain for the purist values ​​of his family. His relationship with his mother and his cousin Bellatrix became antagonistic; Walburga disinherited Sirius when he left home at the age of sixteen, burned his name from the family tree, and even did the same to his brother, Alphard, for lending money to his nephew. Little is known about his relationship with his younger brother, Regulus, as he never spoke about it. It is known, however, that Sirius wished Regulus had not been foolish enough to go along with what his parents told him, and he was upset at having lost his brother to the Death Eaters at such an age. early. One might assume that he would have been comforted to have known that his brother died defying Voldemort.

Biography 1/9

Sirius was the last of the heirs of the Black Family, a family of pureblood wizards. His parents, Orion and Walburga, were both Black by birth and were also second cousins. Sirius had a younger brother, Regulus Black, who died after joining Lord Voldemort in 1979 while attempting to destroy the Horcruxes. He was killed by the Inferi guarding one of the Horcruxes (but Sirius never found out about this) [1]. "Sirius" is a traditional Black family name, resorted to at least three generations and following a tradition of naming children after stars, constellations and galaxies. The Names Cygnus, Arcturus, and Regulus have also been repeated at least twice. However, only one Sirius (his great-great-grandfather) is in young Sirius's direct line of descent [2]. The Black Family firmly believed in the purity of blood. They refused to associate with Muggles or Muggle-borns, Squibs and blood traitors and even disowned members of the Squibs family, such as Sirius's great-uncle Marius Black, and insisted that their family members only marry into families. of respectable blood. They also practiced the Dark Arts. Sirius rejected these values, leading to conflicts with his family. He even put permanence charms on Gryffindor's enchanted pennants [3], as well as pictures of muggle girls in bikinis and motorcycles on the walls of his room to emphasize his differences with the family and annoy his parents. . When his cousins ​​Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy married, respecting the purity of blood, Rodolphus Lestrange and Lucius Malfoy respectively, Sirius rejected them. Her favorite cousin, Andromeda Tonks, was disowned by the family as a "blood traitor" when she married Ted Tonks, a Muggle-born wizard.

Sirius later shared this designation, disdain, even hatred, by some members of his family. However, in later life, Sirius established friendships with his first cousin once rejected from the family, as well as Nymphadora Tonks, and her godson Harry (whom he loved like a son), Harry's friends Hermione and Ron. , and his distant cousins ​​in the Weasley family[1]. As a teenager he had come to be hated by most of his family, in particular his mother and his cousin Bellatrix. While all the other members of the Black family were sent to Slytherin, Sirius was sent to Gryffindor, showing that his ideas had already separated from those of the rest of the family before going to Hogwarts. Sirius also took great care to hang Gryffindor flags throughout his room at 12 Grimmauld Place to show how different he was from the rest of the family. On the contrary, he greatly enjoyed life at Hogwarts, where he was inseparable from his best friends, James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, and his friend Remus Lupin, who was later discovered to be a werewolf. To support him, Sirius, James and Peter secretly and illegally became Animagi, allowing them to safely accompany Remus during his transformations and keep him under control. Sirius took the form of a huge black dog (not unlike Grim), hence his nickname "Padfoot", James became a deer (Prongs), and Peter became a rat (Wormtail). The four friends called themselves "the Marauders" and used the nickname "Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs", living a series of events and adventures when they were young, such as the exhaustive investigation of Hogwarts castle, which they reflected with the creation of the "Marauder's Map".

Although he was later considered "an idiot" during this time, Sirius, along with James, was immensely popular: teachers respected his intelligence, although not his behavior, as they had no qualms about breaking the rules, as did the girls. They adored him for being attractive. Many teachers consider him and James to be troublemakers or pranksters; Hagrid once compared them to the mischievous twins Fred and George Weasley. But Sirius's popularity was not universal. From the beginning, a mutual hatred arose between James Potter and Severus Snape. Sirius obviously supported his friend James, which cost him the same lifelong grudge Snape had against James. Sirius later expressed himself about Snape by saying that he was "a little weirdo who was fascinated with the dark arts." Sirius and James often devised ways to annoy Snape. While watching one of Snape's memories in the Pensieve, Harry saw Sirius and James physically intimidate him, simply out of boredom. Sirius tried to justify this by pointing out that he and James were only fifteen at the time, to which Harry heatedly replied, "I'm fifteen!" Although he did admit that he and James were "a little arrogant" and that he wasn't proud of his behavior. Likewise, during his time at Hogwarts, Sirius played a potentially lethal prank on Snape. He told him the way to enter a tunnel under the Whomping Willow that would take him to the Shrieking Shack, where, unbeknownst to Snape, Remus Lupine was locked up during his transformation into a werewolf. Snape went there during the full moon, and James was forced to rescue him. Sirius justified his actions by explaining that he had simply told Snape what he wanted to know about the tunnel while omitting crucial information. At the same time he claimed that he "did this right for Snape." Snape's resentment towards Sirius never healed.

At sixteen, Sirius was finally separated from his family and took refuge with James Potter and his parents. His mother, outraged, burned his name from the family tree, as was tradition for those who did not support the idea of ​​family supremacy. Sirius's uncle, Alphard Black, Walburga's brother, sympathized with his young nephew and left her a large inheritance, this would be the most likely cause of Walburga also burning his name from his family tree. But in this way Sirius was left financially independent thanks to the generous donation from his uncle. After leaving Hogwarts, Sirius fought Lord Voldemort eventually joining the Order of the Phoenix. Around 1977, he and James were involved in a motorcycle chase with two police officers.

He remained the best of James' friends and attended James' wedding to Lily Evans as his best man. When James's son, Harry, was born, James and Lily named him his godfather, which designated him as the child's guardian in the event of his parents' death. He also gave Harry his first broom at the age of one as a birthday present, as Lily says in a letter with an accompanying photo found by Harry years later [3]. After joining the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius found himself engulfed by mistrust and stress due to the great terror that was Lord Voldemort. By October 1981, he no longer trusted his old friend Remus Lupin, suspecting him of being a spy and because of this excluding him from important information. However, he trusted Peter Pettigrew blindly, a decision he may come to regret for the rest of his life.

In 1981, the Potters were aware that Harry, along with the son of his fellow Order members Frank and Alice Longbottom, had become specific targets of Lord Voldemort. Albus Dumbledore advised the Potters to hide under the Fidelio Charm, hoping that they would escape annihilation. James was adamant about Sirius being his Keeper of Secrets, assuming that Sirius would be willing to die rather than reveal where they were. However, believing that Voldemort suspected this would happen, he suggested a "weak, talentless thing"—Peter Pettigrew—as a less obvious option. Keeping everyone else, including Remus Lupine and Albus Dumbledore, in the dark, Sirius and the Potters reassigned Pettigrew to be Keeper of Secrets and kept Sirius as a decoy.[5] On Halloween night 1981, Sirius went to Peter Pettigrew's hideout but did not find him. Puzzled by the lack of signs of a struggle, Sirius frantically went to Godric's Hollow, finding the Potter house destroyed and his friends dead, only the still-baby Harry alive. When Hagrid appeared on the scene to rescue Harry, under Dumbledore's orders, Sirius offered to take Harry himself. However, Hagrid told him that Dumbledore had arranged to send Harry to Lily's sister, Petunia. Sirius accepted and handed Hagrid his flying motorcycle, telling him that he didn't need it. However, after Hagrid gave up the baby, he intended to return the motorcycle to Sirius [6]. After leaving Godric's Hollow, Sirius set out in search of Pettigrew, determined to kill him to take revenge. However, Pettigrew outwitted Black.

Sirius hoped that Pettigrew would surrender, since they couldn't fight a fight in a street full of Muggles. Pettigrew took advantage of this, and cast a curse (Rictusempra) on Sirius.

When the Ministry arrived, they saw Sirius laughing out loud in front of the victims of the explosion and Pettigrew's finger, and they took him for crazy. Sirius was arrested by the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and was sentenced without trial to Azkaban for the murder of Pettigrew and the explosion victims, for revealing information about the Potters' whereabouts that led to their deaths, and for being in the service of the Potters. of Lord Voldemort. He spent the next twelve years in solitary confinement at the mercy of Azkaban's guards, the Dementors. Driven to the brink of madness, according to him, the only thing that kept him sane was focusing on his innocence. His innocence "was more of an obsession than a happy thought," and so he could not be detected by the dementors, but it was enough to comfort him. This happened because he meditated on the death of his friends and Pettigrew's betrayal, turning it into an obsession. Sirius's escape was legendary. In 1993, he became the first known person to have escaped from Azkaban in all of history. After 12 years in Azkaban, Sirius regained enough strength to transform into his Animagus form. As Dementors have difficulty detecting the less complex emotions of animals, he was able to remain mentally intact as a dog. After receiving an edition of The Daily Prophet from Cornelius Fudge during an inspection, Sirius discovered that Pettigrew was still alive and hidden in his Animagus form as Ron Weasley's pet rat.

He made his way to Little Whinging to check out his godson, where his appearance surprised Harry before the Knight Bus showed up.

Sirius took refuge around Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forest, where he was discovered a few times and mistaken for the Grim. He befriended Hermione Granger's cat, Crookshanks, who had recognized that Sirius was not actually a dog and who had also recognized Peter Pettigrew. Crookshanks tried to take Peter to Sirius, but Ron was very protective of his pet. Half-crazed and desperate, Sirius sneaked into Hogwarts through the old Shrieking Shack, and once cut out the Fat Lady's portrait when she denied him entry to Gryffindor Tower. Later, he came to watch the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, where he witnessed Harry's excellent flying skills, similar to James's.
