Seriously Sirius

Todays post is dedicated to this great guy Sirius Black. I finished the last of the Potter series last night, and wiped a tear at the end. (AGAIN !!!!!!! :) ) But here is to a man who has caught my fancy. Why do I love Sirius ?
1. He is this handsome guy. Hair falling over his face. With a great smile.
2. He is intelligent, was the best in his school and he knows it.
3. He is brash and arrogant.
4. He loves taking risks and is always game for an adventure.
5. He is oblivious to the hopeful looks girls throw at him. He doesnt want to impress anyone. He is "cool".
6. He is steadfast and loyal.
7. He is a wronged man. Punished for a murder he didnt commit. Condemned and falsely accused of selling his best friend to the Dark Lord.
8. He loved his best friend like a brother. He loved Harry, like his own son.
9. 13 years in Azkaban could not kill him or his spirit.
10. He has a heart of gold.

Hmmm.. there you go. Like Jay in Sholay or Vijay in Deewar, or Karna in the Mahabharata. he just caught my fancy. But they dont make men like that anymore... do they ??
