Chapter 11 – First Year – Birthdays, Books, and The Beatles
After the Great Hall hair-growth prank, Sirius receives an unwelcome invitation from his cousin Bellatrix to attend a family tea on his birthday.

Their friendship deepens further when they bond over Sirius’s prized muggle record collection—especially his Beatles albums—sparking conversations about music, culture, and the contrast between their worlds.
