[HPforGrownups] I've got a Sirius problem

I do agree with you that Sirius is quick tempered and violent, but that's
just the man he is.  There are many different types of people in the Harry
Potter universe and Sirius is there for all us quick explosion/irrational
action types.  I myself have a very short fuse to my temper which leads to a
lovely explosion that dies quickly and I identify with Sirius.  I would fell
like slashing the Fat Lady too if she wouldn't let me in to kill someone who
betrayed my best friends.

My question is....why didn't Sirius think that Peter would constantly be
with Ron, as he was a pet rat and most wizards carry their small pets with
him  (ala Neville and Trevor)?  I understand he's still a bit under the
weather from Azkaban but that he kept trying for the Gryffindor tower
instead of just watching Ron, grabbing him when he went to the loo in class
(not what I meant but you understand) and removing Peter from him instead of
all this run around with the fat lady and the annoying curtains...frustrates
me to no ends.

But back to the topic at hand!  I don't think Sirius is that inclined to
violence that he would cause the death of someone, he's a bit smarter then
to fall into a trap a second time around, but his explosive tendencies may
cause him to get caught, and that's what worries me.  People with quick
tempers don't stay in the background, un noticed, we tend to be the center
of attention and that attention is something Sirius doesn't need.
