During their conversations on Christmas day, Harry had sometimes felt as if Sirius was clinging to the headmaster because he was the last authority figure who would tell him that he was "good'. The teenager suspected that, if he were as talented with the mind-arts as his first advisor, he would discover a whole lot of guilt in Sirius. Guilt, the man, did not know how to deal with. So, what better way than to follow the guidance of someone undisputedly "good'. Regrettably, his godfather was not up to date on the facts. Well, they would get him there. Maybe it was childish, but Harry wanted Sirius on his side. And as long as Dumbledore regularly got the chance to dribble poison into his ears, the harder it would be for him to convince the man that he and Tom were ... no, had to be, the winning side in this war.
