Grandpa Universe In Multiverse -
Chapter 22: Dumbledore, Good or Evil?
Putting all those thoughts aside, he focused on the philosopher's stone. He had already deduced that the stone had some kind of extreme purification properties. That is why it could make the elixir of life, however, he was still having trouble in knowing how it could turn iron into pure gold. His research seemed to be facing a dead end.
To divert his mind he started to think about the future plans. By now he knew that he didn't need to do much to purify the world and even if he wanted to do more he'd be sucked from the current world and be thrown to somewhere else as he didn't have the power to decide his stay. The moment the world purity level reaches 90%, he'd be ejected out.
*Sigh*
"I should also focus on teaching Edward and Hermione," he said to himself and called both of them. As it was the holiday season he decided to hold special teaching sessions.
He spent the rest of his day teaching his 2 students. Edward was already as powerful as a professor and Hermione was as strong as a 5th year even though she was a 2nd-year student.
He taught them not only white magic but also some dark magic in controlled quantity. To be a good wizard one must know all aspects of magic. Blindly ignoring a whole segment of magic was a foolish thing.
He was preparing Edward to take his place after he leaves as he was already meant to be the world's savior so he had some trust in him. Hermione was supposed to replace him as minister of magic in the future too.
...
The next day he reached Hogwarts in the morning. He went straight to the headmaster's office.
"Oh, you're here. Meet Newt, Newt meet Mr. Universe" Dumbledore introduced."Oh... Y-yes... Hello sir, It's an honor to meet you," Newt shook his hand.
"Haha... no no Mr. Scamander, it is me who is honored. I really have a deep respect for people who treat animals with love and you are at the top in that category"
"I... Thank you for letting me take the Basilisk. They are a nearly extinct species and I would very much love to help them reappear."
"Aaa, it's nothing... I just didn't want to kill it so I guessed that you'd know what to do with it but let me warn you. It is a 1000-year-old Basilisk. It is extremely powerful and venomous. Though we don't have to worry about its petrifying gaze. Here, wear these over your eyes" Alexander handed them some tight goggles.
"This can nullify the magic coming from its eyes, we'll probably won't need these but still precaution can never be a bad thing."
"A very useful invention," News praised.
"Yes... Alex never ceases to amaze me with his inventions," Albus added.
"Okay, guys. The entrance to the chamber is on the 3rd-floor girl's bathroom." Alexander informed
"Oookay... I am not gonna ask how you know that," Newt said.
"Myrtle Warren's ghost. Yes, that explains it," Dumbledore exclaimed.
They reached the bathroom and Alexander opened the chamber. The big sinks spanned out leaving a deep hole.
Without saying anything he jumped down. Newt and Dumbledore shared a glance first then they also jumped. Reaching the bottom they found thousands of rat skeletons.
"Follow me"
He leads the way to the chamber's main door and said something in parseltongue and the door automatically opened.
He floated into the chamber and found the snake coiled on the floor.
"Magnificent," Newt said.
"Okay... I am going to talk with her so that we can transfer her to your suitcase."
Newt nodded.
"Albus, you stay here. I'll try to get close to her. I don't want to spook her with all of us."
Alexander slowly got closer to the snake. He didn't know how to talk to snakes but he had another way of talking to it.
He used mind arts which was a field he created after combining occlumency and leglimency. He gently probed into her head.
He was surprised to see her dream. It showed a forest where the little Basilisk was happily roaming. It was probably her childhood memory. He went to the little snake and talked to her.
"Are you my master?" A childish voice asked.
"No, I am not, but your last master told me about you. Do you want to go to a real forest? Out of that underground chamber?"
She hesitantly nodded.
"Very nice. I can assure you that you'll get plenty of food and space to roam and enjoy. Now, when you wake up from your sleep, don't open your eyes. Okay?"
"Yessss..." She nodded her head in agreement.
Alexander left her mind and stood near her body. After some time the big snake moved.
"Okay, I want you to follow my voice now. I will lead you to a very big forest"
Newt opened his suitcase and left it on the floor. Alexander kept on making noise so that she could follow him. He took her to a habitat reserved for her.
"You can open your eyes"
"Woaaah... So much green... Freedoooom" she happily started to touch the trees, roll in mud and lick random things.
"Haha... Okay, I'll see you later, by the way, there are many non-magical animals for you to hunt. Another human will take care of you here so be sure to act like a good girl." He instructed.
"Okayyyyy"
"Wait, do you have a name?" He asked.
"Haa... What is a name?"
"It's a word by which people call you. Okay, from now on you'll be called Medusa" Alexander informed.
"Medusa... Hmmm... I like that word... Medusa" she mumbled
"Okay, go and enjoy now," he said goodbye and left the suitcase.
"So, how did it go? Is she okay?" Newt asked.
"Yes, she's a very good girl. Probably a bit depressed for being locked up for so long but no worries now. I also told her not to attack you so you can be at ease"
"Thank you, Mr. Universe, I'll take care of her very well. I should go back now to prepare a bigger space for her at my house"
"Yes, that poor creature. Locked up for so long." Dumbledore sighed.
"I'll see you sometime later Newt," Alexander said.
"Goodbye," Newt nodded and left.
"I have something to talk to you Albus, Your office?" Alexander asked.
"Yes yes... Let's go to my office and have some tea"
They sat down in the headmaster's office and chatted while drinking some lemon tea.
"Albus, tell me, do you know where Tom got the knowledge to make Horcruxes because as far as I know the only book with that knowledge is here" he questioned.
Dumbledore sipped some tea and answered. "Well, I don't really know. I've been trying to replace that answer for a long time now. "
~So he knows that he made Horcruxes but still didn't tell anyone. I really don't like this 'for the greater good' concept. For God's sake, he's ready to let Harry die. He never tried to face the problem himself. In the time of Grindelwald, he used Newton Scamander and took all his glory at the end. The world doesn't give Newt credit but Dumbledore and now too, he's using Harry Potter. His track record seriously makes me doubt him.~ he pondered
"Okay, then I should be on my way now. Got a lot of work at the ministry." Alexander left as he didn't feel like talking to Dumbledore anymore.
But before going back to work he decided to get over with the Horcrux in Hogwarts. He went straight to the room of requirement and took Ravenclaw's Diadem. Once again he was greeted with a sinister aura trying to breach into his brain. He decided to get on with it. Earlier he had secretly taken some venom from Medusa with her permission so he decided to put it in use.
He took out the locket of Slytherin to destroy it first with the venom but he was shocked when he noticed that the locket had already been purified. He was confused for a second but soon hypothesized that it must have something to do with the nature of his space pocket. He was a demi-god and he was supposed to be a so-called 'pure being' and his space pocket was made by God himself so it must be very... Pure?
But that created another problem for him. He was planning to forcefully read the memories of Voldemort through the Horcruxes. Not wanting to waste any more time he disapparated to his office in the galaxy tower and locked and secured the office with full-powered wards.
"Alright, let's do this," he said to himself and sent a mental probe into Ravenclaw's Diadem.
Soon he started to feel dread and anger stored in the diadem. He started to see images of Tom Riddle talking with the Grey Lady, Rowena Ravenclaw's daughter Helena. She told him that she hid the diadem in the forest of Albania. Later Voldemort found it and killed a peasant to make it a Horcrux. He then proceeded to go back to Hogwarts and put it in the room of requirement, after that he got rejected by Dumbledore for the post of D.A.D.A. professor.
But he couldn't see anything other than that memory. Realizing that probably because Voldemort doesn't have a physical body to connect with the diadem, only small memory shards were stored in the Horcrux and if he wanted to know about how he learned to make them then he needed to replace the first one.
Luckily he knew where it was. The diary of Tom Riddle, currently in the possession of Lucius Malfoy.
"Well, I guess I'll pay that dumbass a visit and teach him a lesson while I'm at it" he then proceeded to throw the diadem into his space pocket to get purified.
