Chapter 118: A dark lords struggle

Voldemort had also not been having a very good time at all recently as the sudden escape of Grindelwald caused the security around where he was sure the stone was hidden to be tightened harshly. At first he had assume that he could take his time to dismantle the defenses around the stone but Quirrell's body was starting to reject his soul and getting damaged. This put him on a deadline that made him quite unhappy but he happened to know several ways to deal with this problem. For now though he needed to trick that fool Hagrid into telling him the Cerberus's weakness.-

Voldemort would admit that the reveal of the talented boy Nicholas Iron's heritage caught him off guard but it also thoroughly started cause him to dislike the boy as well. The grey lady's constant presence around the boy made Voldemort nervous that she may tell him about the diadem which would be rather bad. This proved to be a pointless fear however as not only was the diadem undisturbed where he had left it but the boy had thoroughly separated himself from that old fool in charge of the school.- The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

It was amusing to see the reaction the old man had at the vicious retaliation on the boys part , a marvelous blow in his not so humble opinion. Severus had to be commended however for the way he handles the situation in having the Weasley boy read out the results. At first glance no one noticed that the Iron boy was moments away from directly cursing the Dumbledore and had merely been angry at the old man , right fully so too. Severus had taken a gamble that whatever was written on the papers would protect the boy from any repercussions and he won too.-

The "ancient" section of the library also wasn't very helpful either as he had only found a single book on souls in his search and it was so horribly complex and high level that he couldn't get past the first paragraph. Nick was stuck between a rock , a hard place and a hungry dragon and he knew it. Do it , don't do it or put it off , those were his options and frankly speaking none of them were very attractive. Other than that however was the destructive option to use basilisk venom on the Horcrux and totally render the diadem unusable.
