Sirius was a bit disappointed by that answer, even if he had already known that humans weren’t likely to recognise him in this form. He had, however, had very high hopes for James’ friend, who he had almost come to consider a friend on his own during the many hours he had spent watching him watching them.<br/>“It’s you humans who have given me my name, you know?” Sirius attempted, unsure if it was going to help anything, but he wasn’t sure how else to explain to this man where he had seen him before.<br/>“I’ve heard it for centuries, you all call me Sirius, so that is my name,” he stated, a soft smile on his lips as he did so. He had always been very fond of humans and when they had given him a name, he had accepted it gladly.
