When his mind finally clear after his rant, Tom feel the connection between him and his prey was weakening more and more. If this continues, it"s would be cut from it and would start to lose what he accomplish until then and would have to start from scratch again!When his gaze falls where it has been until then, he sees that his diary has vanished to who knows were, he abruptly looks at the snickering boy in front of him.
"You! What have you done to my diary!" Angrily shout him but when he sees and hears the badly faked surprised expression on his face, he would have puck blood if he was possessing his body right now!
"I don"t know what you"re speaking about." He never encounters a child that dares to openly mock him! Completely enraged by Alex"s act, he turns to the stone face and half shout, half bark.
"~Speak to me Salazar Slytherin, greatest of Hogwarts four!~"
Responding to his call the slab of stone representing the lower jaw of the stone face slowly start to lower while hissing sound could be heard in the background, growing stronger and stronger the more it descends. While he was still turning his back at him, Alex takes out his gla.s.s and wear them. At the same time, a beautiful trill sound could be heard, drawing the attention of the ghost on the incoming red bird holding in his talon, a tattered hat.
Dropping his load above him, he freezes for a second before he wears it.
"Will he really give me the... nevermind." He didn"t complete his throughs, that he felt something hard bonk on the top of his head. Taking it off swiftly, he draws the sword of Gryffindor before it vanishes in his storage. While both the hat and Tom were frozen, processing the fact that the blade had just vanished, Alex, in a burst of speed at two times fastest than that of any know man seams to appear in front of the barely appearing Basilisk.
Synchronizing with his master arrival, Sunny bask the snake with a burst of light, making it temporarily blind. Because of the abrupt apparition of the light, the optical nerves of the Basilisk were overloaded, producing an exacerbating pain. By instinct, he tried to get rid of the light imprint still lingering in its eyes by trashing his head on the sides while closing his eyelids.
In doing so, it slams its head without holding back it"s strength. The only result the great snake obtain was to momently stunned by the blow open its maw to let out a loud hiss.
Seeing his chance, Alex trusts the already ready rune circle to the higher jaw, activating at the same time. Completely unaware of the threat in front of it"s still under the blinding and stunning blow, pains suddenly floods its brain before his conscious flatter and vanish forever.
Unwanting to make a repeat of Harry, the moment he feels his light spear completely formed, he cut the feeding magic and hastily take his arm back. After all, is acc.u.mulate knowledge on snakes physiology, he made the thinnest blade he could, hoping to pa.s.s between the venom sacks. As he was also unwanting to damage the skin, he only produces one of twenty centimeters in length.
As it"s wasn"t fully formed when it pierces the flesh and bones, it was only after it enters the brain that the blade gain in width, sectioning a good part inside it, leading to the death of the Basilisk.
Seeing the Basilisk being slain so easily, Tom was flabbergasted, frozen in place, not knowing what to says. While the ghost was frozen, Alex wasn"t. With the help of Sunny, the two hid in one of the numerous pipes to start the second part of the plan.
Seating in a comfortable position, he takes the diary from the hands of Sunny, closed his eyes, and sends his consciousness in the Horcrux. This time since the soul shard was already attacking another soul, he attacks it carefully, probing its reaction.
In the central room, Tom feels the invading soul attack him but as his whole attention was holding on the soul he was still processing, he was unable to defend himself. Starting to panic at this, he hastens as much as he could the process. But because of the distance of his real soul shard position, the process practically didn"t show any change.
Alex, on the other hand, smiles wildly when he feels Tom"s fear and powerlessness. Still cautious, he launches his attack, tearing larges chunks of the soul imprint off. Because he was completely defenseless, Alex was able to complete the process in record time. Without complete forty minutes,s the imprint was completely torn off and Fawkes a.s.sist, impressed, as the physical representation of Tom"s soul became more and more translucent until he completely vanishes to nothingness.
As he had nearly finished the process, it was only twenty minutes later that Alex finishes to shape and purge the taint out of the soul shard, before the familiar window pop in front of him.
{[Hidden objective: side. "Veni, Vidi, Vici"]
The self-proclaimed Lord Voldemort has split his soul in the form:
A diary: 1/1
A ring: 1/1
A locket: 1/1
A cup: 0/1
A tiara: 0/1
A soul shard: 1/1
Found a way to get rid of them.
Once done, he absorbs the cleansed diary, storing for later the enchantments used to create it without the Horcrux in. Done with his task, he returns in the chamber proper and sees that the phoenix was still there.
"You can go back, I will be able to return to the common room on my own. Thanks for coming, Fawkes." Say him while pa.s.sing a hand in the phoenix plumage. While he made his way back he completely ignores the indignant words of the hat, ordering that he give back the sword.
Once he was again it the cave he calls for a good twenty of his House-elves, leading them in the now empty room as Fawkes had brought the Hat back in the came and go room where he had thrown it, after plundering Dumbles office.
As magic didn"t work on the beast, they use a rope, circling it around the dead beast, hold on it, and pop off with it. Knowing the room cleared of the corpse, they follow their example and arrive directly in his room. While he sends Sunny retrieve the Diadem after giving him a lead box, he descends the stairs of the dormitory to see that the majority of the students were eating their meals there, as the professors made them all vacate the corridor, fearing that what had killed the troll strike again tonight.
When he saw that no one was reacting to the fact that he was coming down from the stair, he knows that the girls had covert for him. Before he was completely at the end of the stair, he sees a round ball running through them as fast as it could.
"Where is Ron?! I know you have done something to him!" Crumbs and spit flying out of James still masticating mouth. Calmly brushing them off, he looks the child dead in the eyes.
"Potter, while you weren"t properly educated I will to it for your parents. First, you need to close your mouth while eating, in order to not showered everyone from this." Say him while designing the crumbs still on him. "Second, you do not accuse people without proofs, while your eyes may make you defect, I am actually climbing down the dormitory stairs, not entering the room from the fat lady portrait. I was unaware (lies) that Weasley was still missing and frankly, I could not careless of were he his."
"But he could be dead!" Raising an eyebrow at this, he looks at the rest of the common room whose eyes were glued on them.
"Can someone please tell me what going on?" Out of all, it was Oliver Wood, the new perfect that answers him.
"The troll who was loose in the corridor have been found dead with a message written in blood.
"While it good that the troll wasn"t any longer a treat, something able to kill it still is. Do the professors know how it had been done?" Shaking negatively is head at the question, he responds.
"No, because of this, we have been confined in the common room, tomorrow cla.s.s has been canceled and we will need to keep to our common room until the weekend. As only you and Weasley were still missing, the professors are actually searching the castle for the two of you. Even when miss Granger and Bones have said to them that you were in your room since no one know were it is, they supposed that you could not be in." While he was speaking, Alex was able to see that the young man seating a little.
"What are you not telling me?" While knowing the boy smart, all of them were stunned that he was able to tell that he was hiding something. Hesitating a little, he finally chooses to speak.
"The message on the wall, it was saying that the chamber of secrets was opened again and that his first victim corpse would lie there..." Says him before stopping recalcitrant to finish.
"..And since only two people where missing, one should be the corpse while the other the aggressor?" Sweating a little more he nodded weakly at him, making sighing.
"While I can understand your fear, I can"t understand that you didn"t trust Hermione and Susan when they say I was here all along, but I shouldn"t be shocked, I did have problem with the Weasley family after all. Other than the fact that their family still own me more than a million of Galleon, I could care less about Ron, he has been nothing more than a constant amount of problem for all since the start of the year along with you Potter. So before starting to accuse the other, I would appreciate it if you could stop dragging the House along with you in the mud by making us losing hundreds of points each time you needlessly clash with Professor Snape." Chastised him. The boy shrinks a little before straightening somewhat and whine.
"But Snivellus is a git!"
"Shut up! I have enough of your incessant whining over an unjustified enmity you only bare at Professor Snape because of your useless father! While professor Snape is harsh, he is a potion master! A discipline that needs a large amount of care and precaution in its art! Your less than stellar ethics as of study and you"re horrendous habits toward order and cleanliness are death threat to all of us in cla.s.s! If you are unable to properly work do so far from others, that way you would not take anyone with you in your mess! This is the last time that I will allow you and your blatant disregard of the laws. The next time you accuse me out of pure spite, I will claim for a duel of honor!"
