134 Theories and Logic (1/2)
Arth walked up to the tallest tower without anyone calling out to him. He would simply walk past anyone who was furiously looking for Sirius Black without a word and they would leave him alone.
It was as if he was invisible.
When Arth reaches the tower, four figures were arguing in loud voices.
”What the hell were you doing? I thought you said that your plan was going to work?”
”It would've worked if he went through any of the normal entrances and any of the secret passageways.”
”So how the hell did he make it in?”
”How am I supposed to know? There are so many different ways he could've gotten in. An undiscovered passageway? An insider let him in? There are so many different possibilities.”
”What a ”foolproof” plan you had... if not for the couple of ”tunnels” you had in it.”
”You want to f**king go Dolorem?”
”Bring it on B**tch. Because of you, the prince was placed in danger.”
”IF YOU HAD HELPED ME WITH THE PLANNING, WE COULD'VE PREVENTED THIS-”
”What are you doing?” Asked Arth with a frown as he walked towards the four dementors. ”We are literally in the middle of a crisis and yet you two are fighting like little children. Are you serious?”
Dolorem and William shut up immediately.
”S-Sir I am deeply ashamed that we have failed. I promise that we will not let this happen again-”
”Be quiet for a second Alfred. Please... I'm thinking.”
”M-my apologies my Prince.”
The three dementors took on an attitude similar to Sebastian and went quiet.
Arthur walked back and forth with a finger on his chin thinking. Something was missing.
”... Sirius Black wasn't here for Harry in contrast to what everyone thought... it was for a different reason.”
”Excuse me sir?”
”Why else would he attack today of all days? Why specifically on the day where all the students were out of their common rooms feasting in the grand hall?”
Dolorem frowned.
”He could've lost his sense of time.”
”... is that so?” Said Arth with an indifferent attitude. ”What would you do, Albert, if you were imprisoned for ten years and somehow managed to break free?”
Albert hesitantly spoke up.
”... I... I would run away or hide till I'm confident I can't be caught.”
”What would you do after?”
”Er... learn of what has been going on in the world since I was gone?”
”Exactly... and did Sirius have enough leeway and time to slowly gather information?”
”...yes.”
”So there, Black attacking the Gryffindor Common room while everyone was out was most likely not a coincidence. His target isn't Harry but something else. You can recall the dementors who are protecting Harry as it is no longer necessary.”
