Sirius greatly enjoyed life at Hogwarts, where he was
inseparable from his best friend, James Potter. He, along with
James, was immensely popular: students liked his biting humor, and
teachers respected his intelligence, though not his behavior. His
popularity was not universal, however. Early on, a mutual hatred
sprang up between James and Severus Snape. Sirius actively
supported James, leading to Snape bestowing an equal and life-long
loathing upon Sirius. Sirius and James often went out of their way
to bully Snape. Sirius and James also became friends with another
student, Remus Lupin, whom they later discovered was a werewolf. To
support Lupin, Sirius, James, and another friend, Peter Pettigrew,
secretly (and illegally) became Animagi, which allowed them to
safely accompany Remus during his transformations and keep him
under control. After mastering animagery, Sirius's form took the
shape of a huge black dog, from which his nickname Padfoot was
derived.
Sirius sometimes communicated by
using messages delivered by owls. The above coordinates will take
you into the Forbidden Forest, where an owl has left you a
message.
