About
Sirius Black III (c. 1959[1] - June 17, 1996) was a pure-blood wizard, son of Orion and Walburga Black and elder brother of Regulus. Although he was the heir of the House of Black, Sirius disagreed with his family's belief in blood purity and defied tradition when he was sorted into Gryffindor instead of Slytherin at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which he attended from 1971 to 1978. As Sirius's relationship with his relatives deteriorated, he gained great friendship in James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. The four friends, also known as the Marauders, joined the Order of the Phoenix to fight against Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters during the First Wizarding War. Sirius also became the godfather of Harry Potter. However, Peter betrayed them to Voldemort, and Sirius was framed for the murder of Lily and James Potter, as well as the murder of Peter Pettigrew and twelve Muggles Pettigrew killed during his escape.Sirius was sent to Azkaban for twelve years, eventually becoming the only known person to escape the prison unassisted by transforming into his Animagus form of a dog. Sirius exposed Pettigrew's treachery to his old friend Remus and his godson. After Lord Voldemort returned in 1995, Sirius rejoined the Order. He was killed by his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. He briefly appeared again through the Resurrection Stone, along with James, Lily and Remus in 1998.

OLDER ME?!
He's my favorite character, I cried when he died D:
I mean, I can still walk with it. Though what I don't get is--
why did you have to drag me off to get to Sca-- Peter Pettigrew?
Couldn't you be a bit more... gentle about it?
