BIOGRAPHY:

born in london to walburga and orion black, sirius was the long awaited heir to the noble and most ancient pureblood house. 

sirius had a difficult childhood with his parents and his brother. he never quite fit in to the shape he was expected to. sirius was considered weak when he should have been strong, and was far too sentimental towards the people he was supposed to hate. 

when sirius finally attended hogwarts he was sorted into gryffindor house, the first in his family to ever be sorted in that way. it drove another wedge between him and the rest of his family and created a chasm between them that he could never walk back across. 

sirius’s first friend was james potter. they were practically joined at the hip and did almost everything together. sirius and james, along with remus lupin and peter pettigrew, were close friends and got themselves into endless amounts of trouble while they were at school. 

in classes sirius excelled in astronomy, ancient runes, defence, and care of magical creatures. 

it took a long time for sirius to overcome all of the issues given to him by his family, and a long time again to unlearn some of the dangerous ideas he had learned subconsciously in the first sixteen years of his life. sirius was always prone to being a little bit vindictive and quick to anger, and dealt with a lot of emotional issues over his life. 

during the first war sirius was a member of the order of the phoenix and fought against lord voldemort. this was somewhat difficult for him as his entire family was on the other side. but sirius was loyal to his friends and would have done anything to protect them. unfortunately the war was a heavy weight on all of their shoulders, and some of those friendships fell apart in the midst of it. 

when james and lily were killed sirius knew that peter pettigrew must have sold them out to the death eaters. he instantly went after peter and tried to catch him, and might have killed him if peter hadn’t gotten the better of him. 

sirius ended up in azkaban for many years. in many ways he did blame himself and consider himself guilty for james and lily’s deaths. he escaped azkaban only when he realised that peter pettigrew was still at large, and that the man was at hogwarts with harry.
