Chapter 520: Sirius’ Transformation
Until today, Kyle had never imagined that Sirius Black would come to Hogwarts as a professor—let alone as the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts.

Sirius's expression turned icy in an instant. "Shut up, Snivellus," he snapped. "You know exactly who killed James and Lily. If you hadn't gone crawling to your master—"
