Sirius attended Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry alongside James Potter, Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin and was the first in his family to break tradition and be sorted into Gryffindor House. During their third year it was discovered that Remus was a Werewolf and in support of, as well as to help keep him controlled, James, Sirius and Pettigrew became unregistered Animagi. It was also during these years that they met Severus Snape who was the blunt of many of the quartets, especially Sirius' and James' jokes and pranks.

After Hogwarts and during the First Wizarding War he joined the original Order of the Phoenix to fight against Lord Voldemort. He also attended James' and Lilly's wedding as the best man. When Voldemort targeted his best friends and their son, he was named Secret Keeper of their fidelius charm but feeling that he was not right for the job, convinced the other two to name Pettigrew as Secret Keeper in a secret ceremony.

After the murders he arrived in Godric's Hollow to find baby Harry as the only survivor amidst the ruins of the house. He gave the child and his flying motor bike to Rubeus Hagrid who was there to take the child to Dumbledore. Despite the fact that he was Harry's god-father, Dumbledore wanted to leave the baby with the Dursley's and so he went off in search of Peter.

He found Pettigrew in downtown London where he confronted him in an Alleyway filled with muggles, during the confrontation Pettigrew cast a blasting curse at the ground, killing twelve of the present muggles. It was also at this time that Pettigrew also managed to escape by transforming into his rat animagus and disappeared, leaving only a finger behind as evidence of his 'death'.

Sirius was sentenced to life in Azkaban without trial pending the amount of Muggles who claimed that he had murdered the comrades as well as Pettigrew. He spent the next almost thirteen years in the high security prison surrounded by the watchful eyes of the Dementors. He managed to keep most of his sanity and escape their harmful presence in his animagus form.

During the summer of 1993 he discovered from an article in the Daily Prophet that Pettigrew was alive, residing as a pet rat in the Weasley's household. He escaped and swam across the North Sea back to England where he began his search for Pettigrew. Still a wanted man, he had to be careful as to how he went about his search and thus waited until the students returned to Hogwarts.

During the 1993-1994 school year, he spent most of his time in and around Hogsmead as well as the surrounding mountains. He managed to slip onto the Hogwarts grounds thanks to his knowledge of the secret passageways and even managed to watch Harry play Quidditch for the first time.

During that year he slipped into the castle and attacked the portrait of the Fat Lady who guards Gryffindor House. He also managed to befriend Hermione's pet cat, Crookshanks, and through the cat's aid managed to get passwords to the Gryffindor House. He also nearly managed to use the cat to capture Pettigrew but the ploy was unsuccessful.

At the end of that year he managed to pull Ronald Weasley and Pettigrew, still in rat form, into the Shrieking Shack and with the aid of Remus Lupin as well as Harry, Hermione and Ron, managed to confront Peter. During the confrontation, Harry convinced Remus and Sirius to spare Peter's life instead of killing him, but he escaped when Remus turned into a werewolf.

Sirius was recaptured by the Dementors briefly but was later aided to escape by Harry and Hermione thanks to Hermione's time turner. He escaped on Buckbeak, a hippogryff who was also a fellow 'criminal'. Though he was still a wanted man, important people now knew the truth.

During the 1994-1995 school year he managed to aid Harry with advice through firecalls. Giving advice or warnings when Harry needed them. When Voldemort returned in 1995 he offered his family home of Number 12 Grimauld Place as the new Headquarters of the Order.

During the 1995-1996 school year he still managed to aid Harry while he was at school, but thanks to Umbridge and the Ministry's interference, he was almost caught during one of his firecalls to Harry. Thanks to his still being a wanted man, he was not able to do much for the Order, but he did manage to provide counsel and a home.

He was among the members of the Order who fought in the Battle of the Ministry in June of 1995. During the Battle he witnessed, along with a good number of the other members, as Dumbledore gave up the prophecy to Voldemort in exchange for everyone to leave safely. To his surprise and utter amazement Voldemort accepted and he took Harry to Hogsmead where the Order met up.

After the Ministry found Pettigrew in the Death Chamber in the Department of Mysteries, alive yet unconscious thanks to Arthur Weasley hitting him over the head with a rock, he was pardoned of all of his 'crimes'. Now a freeman, he is finally able to live the life he never imagined he would get to live.
