Sirius Black. A pureblood. Onyx hair falling into his light grey eyes.
He sang in the shower and whistled absent-mindedly as he did his homework. He grabbed his friends' hands and didn't think anything about it. He proposed to the first year girls in the hallway to make them blush and giggle. He hexed people he didn't like without a second thought.
As a kid, Andromeda Black and Alphard Black had great influence on him.
He used watch the muggle kids playing into he street through his windows.
As kids, Sirius and Regulus were attached at the hip.
Sirius likes to paint. He used to draw pictures and read books from the Grimmauld's library, in his free time. He always found the dark books interesting.
Sirius and Regulus followed strict schedule.
They were homeschooled together.
They were taught the family principles and were forced to know the family tapestry.
The brothers were also taught to play the piano and different languages.
He grew up in an abusive household. If they did something wrong, they were punished severely.
He never understood the family's morals. Why the squibs, Muggle and muggleborn supporters were burnt off the tapestry.
He never liked the idea of inbreeding.
He always hated family dinners.
He also liked his cousin Narcissa who wasn't as cruel as her sister Bellatrix.
Remus : Are...are you afraid of the Christmas trees?
Sirius : What? What makes you think that?
James : Well, any further away from the tree, you'll become one...with the wall.
Sirius : ...
Sirius : Alright. The one at my house bites. So I've always been careful around them.
Remus : What?
James : What?
Remus : Your Christmas tree bites?
James : Why would you have such a thing?
Sirius : (scoffs) Have you met my family? It is not holiday unless there is seasonal suffering.
Andromeda told him many stories about Hogwarts and there is nothing wrong in liking muggles and muggleborns.
He attended many quidditch matches with his cousins.
He admired Andromeda, especially when she talked to the elders with confidence about her beliefs and morals and stood to her ground regarding the blood status and humanity. She was the one who told him that not all half breeds are bad.
He was the first Black to get sorted into Gryffindor. Well, he warned the hat that he would rip it into pieces of it sorted him to Slytherin.
He was hated by his family because he was a Gryffindor.
Relationship between Sirius and Regulus started falling apart slowly in Regulus' second year.
Wulburga and Orion warned Sirius countless times to stay away from the Blood traitor Potter kid and the half-blood Lupin and Pettigrew. He never did.
He made great friends.
He stayed most of his summers at the Potter's because his family wouldn't want to have a rebellious Gryffindor spoiling their holiday.
Sirius sent Euphemia flowers on Mother's day in their second year. He didn't tell anyone because he wasn't sure if it was right thing to send our not. So he adds an awkward now to it, '"I know you're not my real mother ...but.."
But Euphemia was over the moon because she loves Sirius as another son already and loved the flowers. So she wrote back to Sirius and James, thanking for their presents. Sirius panicked because he was worried James might think weird about it and flip.
But he was surprised when James asked, "Mate, you've sent flowers? I've only got her chocolates. Next time we are combining our presents so you don't make me look bad," with a smirk.
Sirius grinned from ear to ear because the Potters were the best and they really like him and treat him as a family.
He was the happiest person when he heard Andromeda ran away to marry the love of his life, Ted Tonks.
He found out Remus was a werewolf and was determined to help him.
It was Sirius who gave the idea of animagi.
After three hard years, they all succeeded.
He was a clever kid. He was brilliant at charms.
Though they were trouble makers, the marauders always got away with detentions because they were all toppers.
He ran away from his house at 16 after a huge argument after he denied to join Voldemort. He never turned his back.
Sirius grabbed whatever his hand found and threw it in his trunk. He was ready to storm out of that hell hole...Grimmauld place...once and for all.
Blood was gushing out of his nose and his shirt was already drenched in blood. He felt like someone was hitting his head with a hammer.
His father was in his office and his mother flooed somewhere.
The house was horribly silent in the wake of screeching hour long argument and his punishment for being a blood traitor and refusing to join Voldemort.
Sirius slams his trunk closed and felt someone's piercing gaze. Regulus was standing at the doorway, pale and wide eyed.
"Come with me," Sirius said softly.
At the same time Regulus said, "Stay."
They haven't been gotten along well recently. They were good when Sirius was sorted into Gryffindor and Regulus into Slytherin. But the past two years were rough.
They stared at each other. Both thought the other one looked frightened.
"I can't," they said at the same time.
Sirius swallowed. He could taste blood on his mouth.
"Let me take care of those first," Regulus whispered.
"No. I'm okay," Sirius said and dragged his trunk.
As he passed Regulus, he stopped in his tracks and grabbed him roughly into a hug. He kissed the top of his head because Regulus was a head shorter than him.
"I love you, Reg," he mumbled thickly into Regulus' hair and let go off him and walked downstairs with his trunk levitated.
"You too, Sirius," Regulus whispered back.
He stopped in his tracks for a second as tears rolled down his face. He took a shaky breath and walked.
He was at the front door when the fire roared green and Wulburga stepped out of the fireplace.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?" She screeched.
"Getting the fuck away from your fckin face and this fckin place," Sirius spat.
"You dare speak to me like that?" Wulburga roared and whipped out her wand. But before she could say anything Sirius flicked his wand.
"Incarcerous," he screamed and think cords shot out from his wand and the next moment, Wulburga was writhing on the floor, bound and gagged.
"What the bloody hell is going on?" Orion walked out of his office.
But before he could reach downstais, Sirius walked out of the house. In seconds, he was in the Knight bus, on his way to his home. To Potter's Manor.
.X.
"Are you alright?" James asked concerned.
"Yes, Jamie boy. You know it was easy with the whole animagus thing," Sirius replied with a smile.
"What do you mean?" James asked confused.
"Well, mother said I was ungrateful and I sound be kissing her boots for all she has done for me."
"Uhuh," James nodded.
"So I tore the boots.
And shredded every other pair of boots I can find.
And there was also dogs hair all over the house and no one knew where it came from.
Mother lost her shit.
It was brilliant," Sirius grinned.
James stared at him for a moment and blinked. "Well, glad you had fun," was all he said.
He was devastated when he heard his favourite uncle, Alphard died. He was surprised to know that he left a large amount of money for him.
He brought a flat and worked part-time to earn though that wasn't really necessary.
He made a mistake telling Snape how to get past the whomping willow to get rid of him. He never thought about the consequences. He was out of his mind and frustrated about everything happening to him.
After that incident, James, Remus did not speak to him for weeks. They were hurt and disappointed in him. It took them almost a million apologies and thousands of good deeds to get back together.
Sirius wish he could forget those awful days.
By the middle of their seventh year, they were unofficial members of the Order.
Sirius knew what to do.
He was a Blood traitor after all.
He should save people.
"Have you had any thoughts about what you would like to do after you leave Hogwarts?" McGonagall asked with an exasperated sigh.
Sirius raised an eyebrow. "What—"
"I don't want your answer to be anything along the lines of 'Why do I need to work?' Or 'I'm Sirius Black!' " she warned.
Sirius smirked. "Well, Minnie—"
"Sirius Black!" She snapped.
"Jeez. Alright," he sighed. "I've thought about it quite a bit lately."
"Really?" McGonagall raise her eyebrows. "And?"
"Well, I caught my reflection on a spoon when I was eating an ice-cream over the holidays and I remember thinking, 'Wow? Your ridiculously good looking. Maybe tough and do that for a career!' " he smiled.
"Do exactly what, Black?" She asked irritated.
With a deadpanned look he said, "Be professionally good looking."
McGonagall looked at him flabbergasted. "Mr. Black," she said sternly. "Do you think this is fun?"
"No. But there is someone eavesdropping on our conversation," he replied.
That very moment, they heard footsteps running away.
Sirius Black's careers advice was overhead by a first year Ravenclaw, Gilderoy Lockhart.
"See," Sirius smiled.
"Let's be serious —"
"I am Sirius."
"Black!" McGonagall snapped again.
"Alright. I want to be an auror," he said.
"An auror?" McGonagall raise her eyebrows.
He nodded. "Why? You don't think I'd make a good auror?"
"It depends on you, Mr. Black. But, why an auror? There are many other options."
Sirius frowned. A sarcastic smile spread across his face. "Other options? Because you think I don't deserve to be an auror?"
"Mr. Black—"
"That's the problem," he scoffed. "Mr. Black. The name. Yes, we are purebloods. And my family is all screwed up... All pureblood maniacs and supporters of bloody Voldemort."
McGonagall flinched.
"I'm not my family. I'm not defined by the name. I am Sirius Black and they call me a blood traitor. You surely knew I ran away from my house. Do you know why? Because they wanted me to join that bloody murderer. I. Denied. I'm not them. Surely you should know. You've been teaching me all these years. I'm not a murderer. I'm a warrior. I want to save my friends, my family...that means the Potters. I want to save innocent lives and I will. I don't want to wake up and see more deaths of innocents. Children. I... we will join the Order. My friends and I. This war, it should end. We'll make sure it ends. Soon. I have just one aim. Capturing Voldemort. I'll do anything for it."
His voice came out strong and determined, mixed with pain and anger.
They stared at each other for few moments.
"It wasn't about the name," she spoke at last.
"What?" He asked confused.
"I've lost many friends and students to this war," she said calmly.
"I'm not a person who could be killed easily. Neither are James and Remus," he said proudly. "You underestimate us, professor."
"I don't," her lips twitched. "Here are the scores you need to secure to become an auror," she handed him a pamphlet.
"Surely you did not forget that I'm one of the toppers in our year?" He smirked.
"You may leave now. Good luck, Sirius," she said.
His jaw dropped. "Did you...did you just call me Sirius? Wow! Minnie, we should go out for dinner sometime. Or tea. Or lunch. Does the next hogsmeade weekend work?" He rambled.
"Leave before I hex you," she said sternly.
"The offer will always stand. Forever," he bowed to her and walked out of the room.
McGonagall chuckled and shook her head. "I hope these boys never grow."
.X.
Sirius : Thanks mum...
McGonagall : ...
Sirius : Why is everyone staring at me?
Remus : You just called McGonagall mum. You said thanks, mum
Sirius : What? No. I said professor. Thanks, professor.
McGonagall : Do you see me as a mother figure, black?
Sirius : No. If anything, I see you as a bother figure. You always keep bothering me.
James : Hey! Show your mother some respect!
Sirius looks like a total punk with an attitude.
He helps old women with their groceries and cross the road.
He tries to make crying children laugh.
He happily helps and give directions to the lost tourists.
He says sorry to inanimate objects when he accidentally bump into them.
He was always a chick magnet. He had many admirers.
He was picky at choosing girls.
He looked for something new. Interesting. He never liked regular in anything.
He liked funny, adventurous and loud girls. He liked girls who were hard to get.
Sirius : Shout out to the most gorgeous person in my life for always being there for me and making me feel good about myself no matter what!
Sirius : Shout out to me.
Remus : I don't understand why we're still friends.
.X.
Sirius and Remus were the ones who first found the mysterious time travelling woman.
He was very suspicious about Kitty Pryde. He never trusted anyone quickly.
They fought a lot. And went days without talking to each other.
He didn't know that he was the main reason of Kitty's arrival. For a very long time, no one told him.
Though they fought and avoided each other, it never lasted long. Their relationship was like a rollercoaster ride in darkness.
Every time they try to spend time together, they had a rough adventure.
Nevertheless, he stood by her and saved her many times.
He and his friends put up a joke shop.
He lost his adoptive parents, Kitty and few friends to the war.
Not just friends, he also lost the love of his life.
He was devastated and spent a lot of time grieving. After months, he got back his senses. He, along with his friends went into hiding to protect his godson.
He always made sure of Harry's safety.
Remus took loads of pictures of Sirius who fell asleep with Harry on the couch.
Sirius grabs the football off Harry's hands.
"No child of mine is being a jock! This is a high family!" He said with a huff.
"Unca Padfoot, are you hungry?" Harry asked confused.
.X.
Sirius : Swear words are illegal now. If you say one you'll be in big trouble.
Harry : Heck.
Sirius : You're on thin fckn ice.
Sirius : oh, no...
Sirius was a cool godfather.
