( PERSONALITY) : x. Past Dweller[/size][/blockquote]
Sirius dwells in the past. He refuses to acknowledge the current sad existence he finds himself in, so his mind placates him and he acts like he is still the reckless boy he was at Hogwarts. There are so many times he looks at Harry and his tongue itches to greet Prongs. He avoids mirrors so he does not have to come to terms with who he now is and what he now looks like. The only one who brings him back to this year is Remus. Remus does not at all look like the boy he did at school. He also has greatly matured since then. Truth be told, Sirius hates that about Remus, but then he remembers that he is the only person left, so he tries to get past it.
x. Prone to Depression
Ever since escaping Azkaban, Sirius has been prone to fits of depression. He could be in the happiest of moods, surrounded by all of his friends, and something will trigger inside of him and he will become dark, cold and distant. Most people have learned to just avoid him in these moods unless they have a death wish, such as Snape, who loves to provoke him. Sirius is known to say whatever hurtful thing he can think of when he is in the moods and then has to make up for it later.
x. Prankster
When Sirius is not depressed, he likes to still pull pranks on people, whenever he can get away with it. Unfortunately, there are not many people to prank at Grimmauld Place. Mostly his pranks are on Remus, Kreacher, the twins, or the trio. His pranks were not what they used to be since they’re on people he (mostly) likes, with the exception of Kreacher. Also, pranking by yourself is very unejoyable, but it’s something to do in the dark, dreary house.
( LIKES ) : Harry, Remus, escaping Grimmauld in the form of Padfoot, Molly’s cooking, not having to see Kreacher
( DISLIKES ) : Kreacher, Snape, being alone, rats, Grimmauld Place
( STRENGTHS ) : great at Transfiguration, knows Hogwarts just as well as Remus, decent at Beating, excellent ay lying, good duelist
( WEAKNESSES ) : lets his emotions get the better of him, can never forgive Snape for being Snape, detests anything that reminds him of his parents, prone to fits of depression, mistreats Kreacher
( AMORTENTIA ) : chicken, ginger, peppermint, tulips and grass
( RIDDIKULUS! ) : Seeing Remus dead because Remus is all he has left of his past life. To fix this problem, Remus gets up in werewolf form and starts bouncing around like a puppy.
( EXPECTO PATRONUM! ) : Sirius’ worst moment is seeing James and Lily dead, and knowing it was all his fault. To counteract it, he tries to think of all of his times with Harry and even imagines the times they will have when his name is cleared.
( MIRROR OF ERISED ) : To have his name cleared and get a place with Harry, and maybe down the line, a family.

( PLAY-BY ) : Gary Oldman
( APPEARANCE ) : Sirius’ appearance is a great reflection on his mood. When he is in a good mood, he’ll take care of himself. He’ll dress nicely, cut his shaggy black hair, shave his facial hair, and be smiling. His gray eyes will be wide in delight and he’ll walk tall. When he’s in a bad mood, he’ll let his hair grow and try to hide behind it. His gray eyes will form into glare and he’ll hunch over as if the pressures of his life have become a physical weight that weighs him down. After some time with Molly’s cooking, Sirius has started putting on much of the weight he has lost in Azkaban, but he is still abnormally skinny.
( HEIGHT / WEIGHT ) : 6’2, 142

( HISTORY ) : Sirius was born May 29 to Orion and Walburga Black. His parents were delighted to have a son to carry the honourable name of Black. His brother was born a year later and his parents were done. They had an heir and a spare; they were safe.[/size][/blockquote]
No one quite remembers when Sirius started rebelling against his family. It may have been when Bellatrix teased Regulus and Sirius would come to his rescue. Maybe it was when Sirius was yelled at for buying an ice cream for a muggleborn girl who was crying. Maybe it was from the talks from Uncle Alphard that he did not have to hate muggleborns. Sirius never knew, but by the time he got on the train to Hogwarts, his parents were happy to see the back of him. They assumed he would be Sorted into Slytherin and would turn out the way they wanted.
Well, you know what happens when you assume.
Sirius met James, Remus and Peter on the train. They became instant friends and when James said how he wanted to be a Gryffindor, Sirius wondered what it would be like to be a Gryffindor. He wondered what would happen if he completely abandoned everything he had ever been taught as a child. It was a heavy decision for an 11 year old, but even then, Sirius Black made up his mind. He was all or nothing. He was going to abandon everything he was and everything he was supposed to be.
The Howlers that arrived following his Sorting put Sirius in a melancholy mood that he tried to pretend did not affect him. Luckily, his new-found friends saw through his fake act and decided to find a way to cheer him up, which began the pranking wars between Gryffindor and Slytherin. At first, it was his family members that was affected, but then as the foursome began to find people in the green and silver house they hated, they moved on to mostly Snape and his cronies.
This followed for years. Eventually, the boys began to notice that girls had different body parts. Not quite sure how to respond to this, they moved to pranking girls. Sirius was the first to realize that girls did not appreciate being pranked and found that smooth talking would get a girl to hold his hand, and as he grew older, even more. Thus began the chain of leaving a trail of broken hearts behind him with every step.
Fifth year came the time for Sirius to decide what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. He did not want to work at the Ministry of Magic because he did not want to see his dad every day. He liked Quidditch, but he knew he was not good enough. He was not responsible enough to run a business. The entire year, he pondered what he wanted to do. He would have really liked to teach, not that he told anyone, but his best subject was Transfiguration and he knew McGonagall would not retire any time soon. All he knew is he wanted a job with a lot of money. He was used to a rich lifestyle. He did not want to continue.
All that changed when the only uncle he cared about died. It was the only person in his family that ever really cared about him. It was a big loss, but he gained a lot of money because of it. Now that he did not need his parents, he looked for an escape out of the house he hated so much. When James’ parents offered him a chance to stay with them, he leapt at it. He did not want to overstay his welcome and he promised them he could pay for all of his own things. They refused his offer and ever since the move, Sirius had never been happier.
Nothing else had changed for Sirius until James and Lily finally got over their sexual tension and began to date. Suddenly, Sirius found himself on his own a lot more. Then when they announced their engagement, Sirius knew it would never be the same. He used his money to get a flat for after graduation. He still had no job prospects, but knew he had enough money to cover himself for a while. His friends often visited him because they knew otherwise, he would start up his fits of depression.
Then the day that changed everything. Sirius could tell that cold Halloween day that something bad would happen when he awoke and felt a chill that had nothing to do with the weather. He could not shake the feeling and decided to visit Peter’s flat. He was not there, and there was no sign of struggle. Panic filling his entire body, he took his bike to James and Lily’s flat, but he was too late. Hagrid was there, but would not give him Harry. He gave Hagrid his bike and then disapparated, swearing to himself he would get Peter if it was the last thing he did.
12 years in Azkaban made Sirius completely unrecognizable. When he escaped to protect Harry, he knew he would never be the same again, but he had made a promise to James and Lily to protect Harry. And that is what Sirius will do, no matter where he is, even if it means he has to take Snape’s taunts as Sirius has to hide away in Grimmauld Place.
( PARENTS ) : Walburga Black (1925-1985) , housewife. Orion Black (1929-1979), Ministry of Magic employee. Both were Slytherins, supporters of Voldemort, and hated their son, Sirius.
( SIBLINGS ) : Regulus Arcturus Black (1961-1979), Slytherin, supporter of Voldemort until shortly before his death. The brothers hated each other principal for who the other was.
( OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS ) : The only family member that liked Sirius was his Uncle Alphard, who left him money. The rest he refuses to acknowledge.
( OTHER ) : Sirius? A prefect? Hilarious.

Well, okay, maybe Sam was just a little bit jealous. Truly, James’ idea was brilliant. Who care if you had to chat up a girl about bestselling books or pretend to be completely clueless in Potions? Everyone knew it was the shy, lonely girls who were the best snoggers. They had to prove themselves or something stupid like that. He had not met any cute girls to snog while he roamed the corridors. It was actually quite quiet, almost frightfully so.
“You’ll need more than one good day to beat me, man.” Sam said confidently, though he really had no idea. Certes, James Potter was the son of famous Harry Potter. When Sam had met James, his jaw almost dropped and he just stared in wonder. Sam had heard all about Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger from stories about his parents. For some reason, his mum still blushed when she mentioned Ron, but Sam never found out why. In truth, Sam was just Sam though. His parents really were not all that famous from the Battle of Hogwarts. They were there and fought, but they were not as amazing as the aforementioned trio. All James had to do was mention his dad and girls flung their knickers at him. How was he supposed to compete with that?
Now Sam remembered how he was still in the competition, as he watched James almost tumble. He guffawed and placed all six legs back on the table. For those mathematically challenged, that was four chair legs and two human legs. Sam nodded solemnly and rearranged his expression into a perfectly innocent one that would make an angel jealous.
When James snapped about him not knowing the plan, Sam took a deep breath. James was in one of those moods. It was time to use context clues to figure out what he was talking about. So far he knew they were rebuilding something that might lead somewhere. Okay, that sounded like a secret passage. What secret passages needed to be rebuilt? Sam could not think of any off the top of his head. Who could blame him? They found that secret passage three years ago. When they found out it was blocked, Sam instantly forgot about it.
“I’m pretty sure mischief makers usually do not get their names on trophies, unless it’s for Quidditch. Professors like to pretend we don’t exist. Trophies are just for do-gooders and suck-ups.” Sam envisioned the annoying shushing girl getting a trophy. She was probably one of those girls who would cry with excitement about it, too. Stupid nerdy girls. Sam almost missed James’ question, so lost was he in his thoughts about brainy girls. Francis and Andy? When had Sam last seen them? “Dunno, maybe they’re in the common room. I haven’t been in there for hours. Or maybe they’re upping their count as well.” Sam highly doubted that since he probably would have seen them in an empty classroom. “Can we rebuild it by ourselves?” There, now he could provide another context clue. If James said yes, it had to be something small enough for a two-man project. If James said no, it was something bigger. He really hated this game.
