The first time Lily saw Sirius in his animagus form she had no idea it was him. It was a regular Hogsmeade trip in her seventh year until she was on her way back to the castle. She ran across a dog she thought was a stray and ended up spending a good twenty minutes giving it pets until James caught up with her. The dog darted for the treeline as soon as James arrived and it wasn’t until Lily saw Sirius shift that she realized Sirius had been stalling her.
