SIRIUS BLACK

Sirius Black was James Potter's best friend, and became Harry's godfather. He was a notorious prankster in his day, and when marauding with his Hogwarts pals, Sirius went by the nickname of 'Padfoot', as he transformed into a large black dog. However, his humor had a dark streak to it; it was his idea of a "joke" to send Snape after the werewolf Lupin, putting Snape in grave danger and risking making Lupin a murderer. This streak of darkness is still apparent in Sirius.... he viciously slashed the portrait of the Fat Lady in his attempt to get to Peter. Indeed, he was fiercely protective and loving of his friends, but can be equally malicious to his enemies. In this respect, he was quite similar to Severus Snape, although I'm sure he'd deck me for saying that..... Sirius seemed to possess many of the same traits as his animagus form. He was described as eating in a very doglike way, and his laugh sounded more like a bark. Sirius was framed for the traitorous acts leading to the deaths of James & Lily, as well as a street full of muggles. He was sent to Azkaban without a trial, while the real traitor and murderer, Peter Pettigrew went into hiding. Kept sane by thoughts of his innocence, protecting Harry and avenging James & Lily's deaths, Sirius managed to escape the inescapable prison. Sirius took his role as godfather very seriously, and it pained him to stay in hiding instead of caring for Harry. But he loved having the Order of the Phoenix meet at his old house, and every once in awhile you caught a glimpse of the carefree prankster he used to be. He was last in the line of a very old pureblood family; Sirius had ties all around the pureblood wizard community, including links to Narcissa Malfoy. It appears that Sirius was the only members of the family to denounce the elite pureblood mentality, making him the black sheep of the Black family. Sirius fought at the battle against Death Eaters in the Department of Mysteries, and was forced beyond the mysterious black veil by Bellatrix Lestrange. He is presumed dead. Sirus's name has since been cleared posthumously by the Ministry of Magic.

"'Thanks,' said Sirius... grabbing a drumstick, sitting down on the cave floor, and tearing off a large chunk with his teeth. 'I've been living off rats, mostly. Can't steal too much food from Hogsmeade; I'd draw attention to myself.' He grinned up at Harry, but Harry returned the grin only reluctantly. 'What are you doing here, Sirius?' he said. 'Fulfilling my duty as a godfather,' said Sirius, gnawing on the chicken bone in a very doglike way. 'Don't worry about it, I'm pretending to be a lovable stray.' GoF, pg 521
