I don't like being back here...I never thought I'd be stuck in this house again.
SIRIUS ON BEING FORCED TO REMAIN IN HIS FAMILY HOME

Order of the Pheonix
An Order meeting taking place at 12 Grimmauld Place
With Lord Voldemort restored to his physical form, Dumbledore reinstated the Order of the Phoenix, sending Sirius to gather the "old crowd" and inform them of the situation. Sirius donated his family home at 12 Grimmauld Place in London as Order Headquarters. Unfortunately, as he was still wanted by the authorities, Sirius could never safely leave the house and became quite bitter over his perceived "uselessness". When he briefly left the house to see Harry to the Hogwarts Express, Draco Malfoy nastily complimented Harry on his "pet dog," which, coupled with comments Malfoy made on the train, suggested that the Malfoys recognised Sirius in his Animagus form. Harry and Sirius stayed in touch during Harry's school year via owls and the Floo Network, though Sirius's presence was nearly discovered by Dolores Umbridge during her dictatorial managing of Hogwarts that year.
