Sirius Black was born in the year 1960 into a strict pureblood family. in1971, he began school at Hogwarts. He then made freinds with James Potter, Reamus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew.Upon learning Lupin was a werewolf, he and the others became animagus, so they could roam the grounds at night. This study took them until 6th year to perfect. Their extensive knowledge of the grounds lead them to write the Marauder's Map, a magical map showing the school and everyone in it. After Hogwarts, Sirius was the best man at James Potter's wedding, and was named godfather of their son, Harry. After James and his wife, Lily died, he was denied custody of Harry Potter. The day after, he was framed and sent to Azkaban. He became the first to escape from the horrible prison, by using his animagus form to run out while the guards were delivering food. He traveled to Hogwarts to watch over Harry, and later confronted him face-to-face. He explained he had been framed by Peter Pettigrew, his former friend, who turned out to be Harry's best friend's pet rat. Peter escaped, and Sirius went back into hiding. He kept in regular contact with Harry over the next year. In the following year, when Voldemort resurfaced, he let the resistance group, The Order of the Phoenix, use the family mansion as a head quarters. He was killed at the end of the year in a fight with his Cousin, Bellatrix Black Lestrange.
