Early on, a mutual hatred sprang up between James Potter and Severus Snape. Sirius actively supported James, leading to Snape bestowing an equal and life-long grudge upon Sirius, which resulted in Snape's happiness after Sirius's death. Sirius later claimed Snape was "this little oddball who was up to his eyes in the Dark Arts" from Snape's first moments at Hogwarts, though there is no evidence of this during their first meeting.
It could be that Sirius was exaggerating this to demonise Snape. Sirius attempted to justify this by pointing out that he and James were only 15 at the time to which Harry hotly replied, " I'm 15! He and James eventually ended their campaign of ill treatment towards Snape, but they apparently never apologised. Early in his Hogwarts career, Sirius played a potentially lethal practical joke on Snape. He informed Snape of how to enter a tunnel under the Whomping Willow that would lead to the Shrieking Shack where, unknown to Snape, Remus Lupin was confined during his transformations into a werewolf.
Snape went there during a full moon, and James was forced to rescue him. Sirius excused his own actions, explaining that he had simply told Snape what he wanted to know about the tunnel, while omitting crucial information.
He simultaneously claimed it " served Snape right. Snape was not the only student that Sirius, and James, tormented during their years at Hogwarts. They also used an illegal hex on a boy named Bertram Aubrey which caused his head to grow twice its original size. It is unknown why they hexed him. At age sixteen, Sirius finally broke away from his family and took refuge with James Potter and his parents.
The Potters genorously adopted Sirius as a son. His outraged mother blasted his name off the family tree, as was tradition for those who did not support the family's supremacist ideology. After leaving school, Sirius fought against Lord Voldemort , eventually joining the Order of the Phoenix. Around , he and James were involved in a motorbike chase with two policemen. Although the chase started off as a bit of fun, it turned slightly more serious when the pair were attacked by three men on broomsticks.
Sirius and James used their wands to raise the police car that had been chasing them, and their attackers crashed into it. Sometime in , Sirius's father and brother both died. Orion's death was from an unknown cause, while Regulus's death was when he drank the Drink of Despair , and when he tried to get water to quench his thirst, he was dragged to his death by the Inferi. He remained the best of friends with James, and attended James' wedding to Lily Evans as best man.
When their son Harry was born, James and Lily named Sirius godfather, thus designating him as Harry's guardian in the event of their deaths. He also gave Harry his first broom at the age of one as a birthday present, as stated by Lily in a letter found by Harry a number of years later.
After joining the Order of the Phoenix , Sirius found himself roiling with mistrust and stress due to the great terror that was Lord Voldemort. It took its toll — by October , he no longer trusted his old friend Remus Lupin , suspecting he was a spy and excluding him from important information. However, he trusted Peter Pettigrew implicitly, a decision he would grow to regret for the rest of his life. In , the Potters were aware that Harry, along with the son of fellow Order members Alice and Frank Longbottom , had become Lord Voldemort's specific targets.
Albus Dumbledore advised the Potters to go into hiding using the Fidelius Charm , which Dumbledore hoped would conceal them from doom. James was adamant about Sirius being their Secret-Keeper , believing that Sirius would willingly die rather than reveal where they were. However, believing Voldemort would suspect him, Sirius suggested a " weak, talentless thing " — Peter Pettigrew — as a less obvious choice. Unsettled by the lack of signs of a struggle, Sirius frantically sped to Godric's Hollow , discovering the Potters' house destroyed and his friends dead; only baby Harry was still alive.
When Rubeus Hagrid appeared on the scene to rescue Harry, on Dumbledore's orders, Sirius offered to take Harry himself. However, Hagrid told him that Dumbledore had made arrangements to send Harry to Lily's sister, Petunia.
Sirius conceded, and gave Hagrid his flying motorcycle , telling him he wouldn't need it; nevertheless, after Hagrid had handed over the baby, he intended to return Black his bike. After leaving Godric's Hollow, Sirius, overcome with grief and rage, tracked Pettigrew down, determined to kill him in vengeance. However, Pettigrew outwitted Black: confronted by Sirius on a city street, he shouted out that it was Sirius who betrayed the Potters, and then created a huge explosion which enabled him to fake his own death, leaving a severed finger behind as evidence, and killed twelve Muggles in the process.
Fudge claimed that he saw Black laughing maniacally at the scene of the crime, suggesting that Peter's escape nearly pushed him over the edge into insanity. Sirius was arrested by the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and was sentenced without trial to Azkaban for the murder of Pettigrew and the twelve Muggles, for giving the information about the Potters' whereabouts which lead to their death and for being in the service of Lord Voldemort.
He would spend the next twelve years in solitary confinement at the mercy of the Azkaban guards, the Dementors. Driven to the brink of madness, he retained his sanity by focusing on his innocence. He said, in the Shrieking Shack, that " it was more an obsession than a happy thought "; it could not be detected by the Dementors, but still gave him small comfort.
However, his brooding over his friends' deaths and Pettigrew's betrayal became an obsession as well. In , Sirius's mother died, leaving the Black house-elf Kreacher alone in the house and the house was left abandoned. In , Sirius became the first known person to ever escape from the wizard prison of Azkaban. After several trying years in Azkaban, he regained enough strength to transform into his Animagus form. Since Dementors have difficulty sensing the less complex emotions of animals, he was able to remain relatively unaffected as a dog.
After receiving an issue of the Daily Prophet from Cornelius Fudge during an inspection, Sirius discovered that Pettigrew was still alive and in hiding in his Animagus form as Ron Weasley 's pet rat. Filled with the desire for revenge, Sirius took his Animagus form and, thinned from malnourishment, was able to slip through the bars of his cell and past the Dementors.
He swam across the North Sea to freedom, though the journey nearly killed him. He made his way to Little Whinging to catch a glimpse of his godson as a teenager, where his appearance startled Harry before the Knight Bus turned up. As news of Sirius muttering " he's at Hogwarts " in his sleep, and subsequently escaping, was released, the Wizarding community went on high alert, believing that he planned to murder Harry in a mad attempt to bring Lord Voldemort back.
Sirius took refuge around Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forest , where he was spotted a few times and mistaken for the Grim. He made the acquaintance of Hermione Granger 's cat Crookshanks , who had recognised that Sirius wasn't actually a dog, and who had also recognised Peter for what he was.
Crookshanks attempted to bring Peter to Sirius, but Ron was very protective of his so-called pet. Half-crazed and desperate, Sirius sneaked into Hogwarts through the old passageway from the Shrieking Shack and on one occasion slashed the Fat Lady 's portrait when she refused him entrance to Gryffindor Tower.
Later, he came to view the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff , where he witnessed Harry's excellent flying skills, which mirrored James'. In June, Sirius caught Ron carrying Scabbers, after the rat had been discovered hiding in Rubeus Hagrid's cabin , and dragged both boy and rat through the tunnel under the Whomping Willow to the Shrieking Shack. Harry and Hermione Granger followed, the former intent on confronting Sirius about the supposed betrayal of his parents, despite the obvious differences in their ages and skill levels; Sirius' weakened state due to being on the run at that time led to the boy easily, and wandlessly, overpowering the older wizard despite Crookshanks's attempts to aid the Animagus.
Once Harry had Sirius at his mercy, Remus Lupin , who had seen Peter on the confiscated Marauder's Map , disarmed Harry and warmly greeted his old friend. Together, Lupin and Sirius revealed Peter's true form.
Both wanted to kill their former friend for betraying James and Lily, but Harry prevented them from doing so, believing that it would be better to force Pettigrew to face justice at the hands of the Dementors. That, and he didn't want his father's friends to be murderers. As they made their way back to the castle, Sirius hesitantly asked Harry if he would like to live with him, thinking Harry would not want to live with the aunt and uncle who had raised him; Harry enthusiastically agreed, thrilled at the idea of leaving the Dursleys and finally having a real home.
Unfortunately, soon after they left the Whomping Willow, Lupin transformed under the full moon and, having forgotten to take the Wolfsbane Potion in the wake of discovering Pettigrew, was uncontrollable. In order to protect Harry, Ron, and Hermione from Lupin, Sirius turned back into a dog, giving Pettigrew an opening to escape and flee. Sirius was weakened following his encounter with Lupin's werewolf form and could not protect himself when the Dementors guarding Hogwarts arrived. Harry, who had followed Sirius and found him lying unconscious and surrounded by the hooded creatures, attempted to perform the Patronus Charm but to no avail.
The Dementors nearly succeeded in sucking out Sirius' soul until a powerful Patronus resembling a stag warded them off. Sirius was briefly re-captured by Snape, and was sentenced to the Dementor's Kiss , a fate worse than death. Miraculously, and by Albus Dumbledore 's suggestion, Harry and Hermione used Hermione's Time-Turner to help Sirius escape ; as Dumbledore had also hinted that "more than one innocent life" could be saved that night, they rescued the hippogriff Buckbeak from execution, thus granting Sirius a form of travel.
Sirius was once again a wanted man, although alive and with his soul intact. Soon after his escape, he sent Harry, Ron and Hermione a letter via a tiny, hyperactive owl , explaining that it was he who sent Harry the Firebolt for Christmas, and giving Harry permission, as his godfather, to go to Hogsmeade.
He also apologised to Ron for the loss of his pet, asking him to accept the owl in "Scabbers" place. Sirius fled Europe beyond the Ministry of Magic 's jurisdiction. He communicated with Harry using brightly coloured tropical birds, much to Hedwig 's annoyance very seldom to retain the secrecy of his location.
Harry grew to greatly rely on Sirius' advice in time of need. When Harry was mysteriously entered in the Triwizard Tournament , Sirius hid in a cave near Hogsmeade and provided mostly moral support to Harry during this time. He warned Harry about Igor Karkaroff , the Durmstrang headmaster, telling Harry that Karkaroff used to be a Death Eater and that he gave up a considerable number of names in exchange for his freedom.
Harry told Sirius about seeing the name " Bartemius Crouch " appear on the Marauder's Map when he was working on the second clue. Sirius admitted that it was fishy, but told Harry to focus on the task at hand and leave the mystery surrounding Crouch's "illness" to others. When Barty Crouch mysteriously disappeared in the castle grounds, Sirius warned Harry that someone didn't want Crouch to get to Dumbledore. He advised Harry to continue his practise of defensive spells, and to never wander off on his own.
With Lord Voldemort restored to his physical form, Dumbledore reinstated the Order of the Phoenix , sending Sirius to gather the old crowd and inform them of the situation. Unfortunately, as he was still wanted by the authorities, Sirius could never safely leave the house and became quite bitter over his perceived "uselessness".
When he briefly left the house to see Harry to the Hogwarts Express , Draco Malfoy nastily complimented Harry on his "pet dog," which, coupled with comments Malfoy made on the train, suggested Sirius' cover was blown.
Harry and Sirius stayed in touch during Harry's school year via owls and the Floo Network , though Sirius' presence was nearly discovered by Dolores Umbridge during her dictatorial managing of Hogwarts that year. Sirius acted as more of a brother than father figure to Harry throughout his hardships with Umbridge, encouraging him to oppose her reforms and strongly approving of Harry's secret defensive tutorial group for students, Dumbledore's Army.
His vigorous support of Dumbledore's Army worried Hermione, who thought that Sirius was attempting to live vicariously through them. He also willingly answered all of Harry's questions about the Order and Voldemort, though most of Harry's mentors felt Harry was too young to handle the burden of the truth.
He also urged Harry to contact him if Professor Snape gave him a hard time during their Occlumency lessons. During his time confined to the Order's headquarters, Sirius began to let himself go.
When Harry and the Weasleys arrived at Grimmauld Place just after Arthur was attacked by Nagini , Sirius was unshaven and still in his day clothes late at night. He also seemed to have taken to drinking, as he had a "Mundungus-like whiff of stale drink about him". However, Sirius made a complete turn-around when the Weasley family and Harry decided to stay at Grimmauld Place over the Christmas holidays for its proximity to St.
Mungo's, and at one point was heard singing " God Rest Ye, Merry Hippogriffs " at the top of his lungs. Voldemort used Legilimency to implant a false vision into Harry's mind that Sirius was being tortured in the Department of Mysteries , convincing Harry that Sirius had in fact been captured.
After giving Severus Snape a cryptic message informing him of the situation and then ditching Umbridge in the Forbidden Forest , Harry, along with Ron, Hermione and fellow D. The students made their way through the deserted Ministry of Magic and gained access to the Department of Mysteries , only to be ambushed by Death Eaters.
Tragically, however, during a frenzied duel with his hated cousin Bellatrix , Sirius was struck with a spell, causing him to fall through the Veil in the Death Chamber to his death. It would be years before Harry could fully come to terms with the loss of his godfather, who, as Dumbledore flatly stated, was the "closest thing to a parent" Harry had ever known. Ron Weasley blamed himself for Sirius's alive. In the aftermath of Sirius's death, Harry, enraged and grief-stricken, unsuccessfully attempted to take revenge on Bellatrix before Voldemort arrived.
After a short duel between Dumbledore and Voldemort, the latter fled, but not before he was seen by Cornelius Fudge himself and several other Ministry officials, finally forcing them to abandon their smear campaign against Dumbledore and Harry and admit the truth to the world.
With that done with, Dumbledore successfully convinced the Ministry that Sirius was innocent all along and managed to get him cleared of all charges posthumously. Black did not have a wife or children. As the portrait of Phineas Nigellus , Black's deceased great-great-grandfather, stated, the direct line of the ancient Black family ended with Sirius' death.
Had Regulus Black lived, he would have been the heir of the Black home; however, he predeceased Sirius. Thus, by the will, Harry inherited 12 Grimmauld Place, Buckbeak later known as Witherwings , Kreacher , and the remaining Black fortune. Having no great love for 12 Grimmauld Place, the house that held so many painful memories for Sirius, Harry chose to give it to the Order of the Phoenix for their continued use as Headquarters.
Kreacher, forced to serve Harry by Black's will, was sent to work as a Hogwarts house-elf in the school kitchens an imposition which did nothing to improve Kreacher's hatred of Harry. Buckbeak passed back into Rubeus Hagrid 's care under the assumed name "Witherwings".
Black had given Hagrid an enchanted, flying motorbike 16 years prior at Godric's Hollow , after Black discovered the Potters had been killed. After begging Hagrid to give him baby Harry — a request Hagrid refused because he had orders to take young Harry to Little Whinging — Black gave Hagrid the bike before setting off to hunt down Peter Pettigrew. The bike was in Hagrid's possession until it was needed to bring Harry from Number 4 Privet Drive to Order Headquarters shortly before Harry's seventeenth birthday.
The bike ended up crashed, as the Order was ambushed by Death Eaters. Ted Tonks collected the debris and sent it to Arthur Weasley , who later repaired the bike and gave it to Harry.

Ironically, two members of the family he so reviled proved to be far braver than he thought. To keep Remus company in his werewolf state, the three other boys secretly became Animagi during their fifth year.
During these desperate times, James Potter and Lily Evans married and started their family, unaware that a prophecy would cut their lives short. Twelve years later, Sirius escaped from Azkaban and convinced Harry and the Order of the Phoenix of his innocence; however, he was forced to remain a fugitive because there was no viable proof. This second captivity seems to have been more corrosive than Azkaban.
Sirius chafed at his forced inaction. Harry longed for Sirius to be the father figure he craved, but Sirius seemed often more interested in regaining the camaraderie and urgency of his glory days. Sirius was killed by his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries ; his body fell through a mysterious veiled arch and could not be recovered OP In his youth, Sirius was good-looking in an elegant, casual way with dark hair and gray eyes; after his imprisonment he is often described as looking gaunt and unkempt.
