Eldest son of Orion and Walburga Black, Sirius grew up in the polite graces of pureblood society, born to the prestigious House of Black and heir apparent to the Black dynasty. He learned how to waltz and foxtrot before he learned how to ride a broom, having had various tutors from a very young age, lessons varying from proper speech etiquette to impeccable table manners. His mother spent most of her time criticizing her eldest son, throwing biting remarks his way every chance she got. Not only did she make it abundantly clear that Sirius was a disappointment, but she also made sure he understood that it was his duty to uphold the Black family name. Orion, on the other hand, was fond of shoving Sirius around every time the boy did anything that was less than proper, determined to beat out his rebellious nature. But rather than make Sirius the perfect son, it only made him even more aware of his familyâs toxic nature. The only bright side to being a part of the Black family was his brother, Regulus, and his favorite cousin, Andromeda. He found in Regulus a reason to stay, he felt the need to protect his brother from their parents and their poisonous ideals. Shielding Regulus from the truth and acting as his defender throughout their childhood. It wasnât until Sirius arrived at Hogwarts that it became increasingly apparent that Sirius was nothing like the rest of his family, becoming the first ever member of the House of Black to be sorted into a house that wasnât Slytherin, instead being placed in Gryffindor, shocking not only himself but everyone else as well.
It didnât take long for Sirius to make friends amongst his housemates, finding a kindred spirit in fellow Pureblood, James Potter, the two of them becoming fast friends, and later Remus Lupin, a somewhat shy Half-blood who much preferred the company of a good book than to socialize with his housemates, and Peter Pettigrew, a lonely, quiet boy who was in desperate need of companionship. Together, the four of them soon became known as the mischievous quartet of Gryffindor house, their bond only growing stronger once they learned of Remusâs condition. James, Sirius and Peter soon decided to learn how to take on an Animagus form in order to accompany Remus during the full moons. Christened Padfoot because of his Animagus form by James, the four friends soon became known as the Marauders. Sirius grew to think of his friends as brothers, a family far better than the one he was born into. Charming, confident and mischievous  Sirius has made quite the reputation for himself amongst his fellow students. He isnât afraid to break the rules as often as he pleases, Jamesâ penchant for trouble having rubbed off on Sirius, and enjoys the rush that comes with letting loose every once in awhile. Even from a young age, Sirius had a talent for creating havoc wherever he went and an affinity for mischief that no matter how much his parents reprimanded him, could not be subdued. A born troublemaker, Sirius was famous for the amount of planning he put into his pranks, taking great pride in his ability to make even the sourest of professors crack a smile. A heartbreaker in the worst sense, Sirius is a womanizer through and through, indulging in debauchery without a care for the long string of broken hearts he leaves in his wake. Yet, somehow, not one of his past conquests can bring themselves to hate him, no, itâs almost impossible to dislike Sirius. Beneath his reckless behavior however, Sirius possesses a heart of gold, a true friend to those he finds deserving of his loyalty. Not only does he possess a great deal of bravery but he is also an extremely trustworthy individual, always willing to do what is right by those he loves.
The summer after his fifth year proved to be quite eventful for Sirius. What would have been a typical row between Sirius and his father soon turned into  much more when Orion tried to physically harm Sirius, an action that proved to be the straw that broke the camelâs back. Without a word, Sirius turned his back on his family and everything he had once known, his fatherâs furious threats and Walburgaâs outraged cries not enough to make Sirius stay. To his pleasant surprise, the Potters took him in without a complaint, treating him like one of their own, giving Sirius the love and attention his parents had denied him for so long. He soon grew to realize that leaving his family was the best choice he had ever made, his only regret was having left Regulus behind to pick up the pieces. Now, back at Hogwarts for his sixth year, Sirius has found himself shunned not only by his cousins, but by his brother as well, Regulus refusing to even look at him. Too say it broke his heart to watch his brother hurting would be an understatement, but there wasnât anything he could do about it, not now that Regulus acted as if he didnât even exist. But Sirius knows that as long as he has his mates, heâll somehow manage to get through it.  Aware of the war currently being waged outside of the castle walls, his family having always been staunch supporters of the Dark Lord and his ideals, Sirius has found himself trying to distance himself even more from his family and their dark reputation. He sees the way people have begun to look at him, as if, despite everything pointing to the contrary, heâs still one of them, and the last thing Sirius wants is to have his loyalty to his fellow housemates doubted. He is willing to do whatever it takes to prove to everyone that he is nothing like his father, like Bellatrix. Willing to prove that he would do anything it takes to keep the people he cares about safe from harm.
