At age sixteen, Sirius finally broke away from his pure-blood family and took refuge with James Potter and his parents. Fleamont and Euphemia Potter generously adopted Sirius as a son. His outraged mother blasted his name off the family tree, as was the tradition for those who did not support the family's supremacist ideology. Sirius's uncle Alphard, Walburga's brother, sympathised with his young nephew and left him a large inheritance in his will, most likely causing Walburga to blast Alphard's name off, as well. Sirius was left financially independent by his uncle's generous bequest and eventually got a place of his own. Sirius is the brightest star in the dog constellation. The name of the star derives from the ancient Greek Σείριος, Seirios, which means precisely ‘to illuminate’ and in Greek mythology Sirius was the hunting dog of Orion (Sirius’s father is also called Orion). This way, you’ll know it’s being done by someone with experience and knowledge, and we’re also always here to answer questions about your reading and follow up at no additional charge. The one above is reminiscent of the alchemical symbol of amalgam (alloy of mercury and metals), while others are reminiscent of the planets. It would be interesting to understand if the symbols actually make sense and relate to Sirius’ story, or if they were created just to reinforce the (somewhat stereotypical) idea of the prisoner.
In any case, that's not the sort of thing you put on a prisoner's mugshot. Usually, the prisoner will hold up a sign with the booking date, perhaps their name, perhaps the location/prison name, and then some sort of identification number. Based on the fact that Sirius' placard has a mixture of letters, runes, and numbers, it's clearly intended as the latter: an identification number.After Harry followed Viktor Krum to the edge of the Dark Forest, as Krum wanted to talk to him about his relationship with Hermione Granger, Harry encountered a delusional Barty Crouch Snr. When Barty Crouch mysteriously disappeared in the castle grounds after Harry left to retrieve Dumbledore, Sirius warned Harry that someone did not want Crouch to get to the headmaster. He advised Harry to continue his practice of defensive spells and to never wander off on his own, as times were dangerous. Following the final task of the tournament, Dumbledore summoned Sirius to his office to meet with Harry, who had barely survived an encounter with Lord Voldemort. Sirius wished for Harry to be allowed to rest for his ordeal but was overruled by Dumbledore. As Harry explained the night's events, Sirius nearly interrupted twice and was greatly angered. He also showed signs of strong emotion when he learned that shades of his old friends James and Lily had returned and hid his face in his hands. If you put two and two together, the translation could have meant him being so-so human because he murdered so many people, ripping his soul apart. As you could tell, Voldemort could easily classified as being so-so human. So while an Azkaban prison sentence is about both punishment and breaking a wizard down so thoroughly that he/she may be rehabilitated once he/she has sunk as is as low as humanly possible. Like Fawkes -- all phoenixes, really -- the prisoner has to claw his/her way out of the proverbial as The Philosopher's Stone symbolizes a similar kind of change. This is where I see the connection between alchemic tattoos and, as a prisoner embarks on his/her journey of rehabilitation, there might come a time and a place where that prisoner is "more or less human". The Runic Oracle (Mystical Amber) will help you understand what the future holds or if you need some clarity about something that is currently happening in your life by doing a reading with your Elder Futhark Runes, Tarot and Oracle cards.
I COMFORTED THE MURDERIN' TRAITOR!" — Rubeus Hagrid recollecting his last meeting with Sirius [src] While Harry craved a paternal figure, Sirius wasn't equipped to be one and more or less treated Harry like his best friend, the way Harry's father was before him. [28] Voldemort lured Harry to the Department of Mysteries in 1996 by planting a vision of Sirius suffering in his mind, knowing that Harry would do whatever it took to save his godfather. [17] Harry was completely devastated by Sirius's death, having lost the closest thing to a parent he had ever known. Harry felt riddled with guilt over the incident but eventually managed to compartmentalise his grief, knowing that Sirius wouldn't have wanted him to shut himself up. Little is known about Sirius's relationship with his younger brother Regulus, as he never spoke about it. It was revealed, however, that Sirius had wished that Regulus had not been foolish enough to go with what their parents told him to do, and he was rather upset with losing his little brother to the Death Eaters at such a young and promising age. It can be theorised that he would have been comforted if he had known that his brother had died defying Voldemort. Poor old Snuffles. He must really like you, Harry.... Imagine having to live off rats." — Ron's sympathy towards Sirius [src]
Congratulations on choosing to create your own trunk!
Sirius: " I've warned you, Snivellus , I don't care if Dumbledore thinks you've reformed, I know better —" Severus Snape: " Oh, but why don't you tell him so? Or are you afraid he might not take very seriously the advice of a man who has been hiding inside his mother's house for six months?" — Sirius and Snape have a heated argument whilst Snape was informing Harry about his Occlumency lessons [src] Dumbledore's Army | Forbidden Forest Centaur colony | Headless Hunt | Hogwarts Hippogriff herd | Hogwarts house-elves | Hogwarts Ghosts | Hogwarts Staff The bottom line is, the source of this "fact" is somebody's twisted imagination, and it's not actually true. In texts that are written according to this view, the cryptic alchemical symbols, diagrams, and textual imagery of late alchemical works typically contain multiple layers of meanings, allegories, and references to other equally cryptic works; and must be laboriously decoded to discover their true meaning.
It's possible that Snape never knew Sirius was an unregistered Animagus, as he didn't recognise him in dog form at the end of the 1994-1995 school year, but he showed a mix of horror and hatred when he recognised him for what he was. The wand prop replica used in the films was a medium brown colour and had a twisting design along the length of the wand and rune-like engravings at the base. This wand bears a resemblance to Sybill Trelawney's wand. Sirius was also godfather to Lily's son, Harry, and they shared a strong bond of friendship, love, and trust.Potions: In their fifth year, Sirius and James successfully brewed the Animagus Potion, a potion which is highly complex and time-consuming to brew and with great consequences if done improperly. This demonstrated that Sirius was skilled with potion-making. Perhaps the original source of the alleged translation is the IMDB. If I'm not mistaken, isn't IMDB similar to, but not a duplicate of, the Wikipedia, in that it accepts user info submissions? Just a thought.
Sirius felt that Harry should have the right to know difficult truths, and considered him perfectly capable of taking on heavy burdens that many other fully-grown wizards could not. Molly Weasley, however, criticised Sirius's behaviour towards Harry, claiming that he acted as if Harry were James rather than the child that he undeniably still was. Sirius shared a good deal of information about the First Wizarding War with Harry, much to the disapproval of Molly Weasley, and supported Harry and his friends' efforts to sabotage Dolores Umbridge's dictatorial rule over Hogwarts in their fifth year. It is interesting to note that Padfoot is indeed a terrifying dog, but also capable of offering kindness and gratitude when treated kindly. In short, he is a being who presents himself as evil but not necessarily evil. Pettigrew murdering twelve Muggles after being confronted by Sirius about the death of Lily and James PotterIf you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." — Sirius giving advice to Harry [src] At some point during the First Wizarding War, Sirius came to distrust Remus, suspecting that he might be a spy. Thus, he did not reveal to Remus that he decided not to be the Potters' Secret-Keeper when they became targets of Lord Voldemort, instead giving the job to Peter, who was less likely to be suspected of holding the secret. This turned out to be a fatal mistake that Sirius regretted for the rest of his life, as Peter betrayed them all. The tragic deaths of James and Lily was a cruel brutal blow to him, as he would have willingly died for them, and confessed that he desperately missed his best friend (whom he loved as a brother) every day. He was sent to Azkaban for Peter's crimes, and Remus initially believed that he was guilty. After he escaped from prison in 1993, he told Remus the truth and, together, they planned to kill Peter for his treachery, though they were stopped by Harry. Afterwards, the two reclaimed their friendship, but it was tragically cut short by Sirius's death two years later. In the film versions of the series, Sirius has multiple tattoos, but it is never stated in the books if he has any. These are implied to be prison tattoos that he received while in Azkaban, although it would be almost impossible considering what is known about the conditions in Azkaban. It could be implied these brands were done to him as a form of a testament to his crimes.
