Chapter 16: 16. I am Lord Voldemort
The next obstacle was flying keys, charmed by Filius Flitwick. For someone of Alexander's caliber, dealing with it was super easy. He flew in the air and caught the door's key. The rest of the keys tried to attack him but all of them got burnt to nothingness as soon as they came close to him.
The trio just looked at the show with awe and pure worship in their eyes. Harry was having second thoughts about following Dumbledore. After all, Alexander was the only one who trusted his words and also actively helped him in the situation of need.
As soon as he landed back on the ground, the trio surrounded him.
"Professor, how did you fly like that? Is that a new spell?" Hermione asked with stars in her eyes.
Alexander ruffled her curly hair and laughingly said "Haha...Yes, dear, I created this spell. But you can not use it right now as it requires a lot of magic power. Don't worry, I will teach it to you later... Now, let's open that door"
Hermione enjoyed the pat on her head and then followed him.
"Okay, let's see what's behind this door... Oh, a life-size chess board... Who wants to play some chess?" He jokingly asked.
"Wow, this is just like the one me and Ron were playing in the common hall. I think we need to defeat this if we want to go any further." Harry exclaimed.
"Yes... we do have to defeat it but that doesn't mean we have to play. After all, in the end, they are just some magic imbued stones and magic can be overpowered"
"REDUCTO" he sent the spell with a slight wave of the hand.
In a second, all the chess pieces started to blast into smaller pieces. The chessboard was most likely enchanted by professor McGonagall and Alexander was way past her strength.
"Haha... Easy peasy... Let's move forward now."
Next they came to a table which had many small bottles on it. Besides them, there was a piece of paper. Harry picked it up and read it.
"It seems like some kind of a riddle. It says 'Danger lies before you, while safety lies behind,
Two of us will help you, whichever you would find,
One among us seven will let you move ahead,
Another will transport the drinker back instead,
Two among our number hold only nettle wine,
Three of us are killers, waiting hidden in line.
Choose, unless you wish to stay here forevermore,
To help you in your...'" Harry was interrupted by Alexander.
"Boring and easy. Must be Snape who put this here. Well, there's nothing that a good powerful REDUCTO can't solve... Move back you three."
[BANG]
Small bottles and tables were blasted to smithereens.
"I am glad that we brought the professor with us," Ron said with a fear struck face.
"Come on, don't be a wuss now Ron. Let's see what's ahead" Hermione grunted and walked.
"How many more obstacles are there?" Harry annoyingly asked.
Soon they reached the end of the hallway and found themselves in a big circular room. There was nothing in the room except a big mirror and a man standing in front of it. Alexander knew how he could take the philosopher's stone. The Mirror of Erised showed you what you desired the most. If you desired the stone then you will see it but only those who are good-hearted and don't want to use the stone for themselves can really get it. Quirrell/snakeboy must have been standing there for quite a long time now.
He could obviously take out the stone as he didn't want to use it but just study it and he was quite sure that he was good-hearted... probably.
Hermione was the first one to reach the room. She was surprised to see someone already there. When the others arrived, the man standing in front of the mirror turned around.
"Hermione, hold this Uniphone and record everything," Alexander said as he handed her his phone.
~Alright, this is the reason why I came here~
Quirrell spoke.
"Harry Potter... Bla Bla" their talk went on as in the movies. Quirrell confessed to trying to kill Harry in quidditch and letting the troll into the school.
"Enough now, take off your turban and show what you are hiding. I can sense a vile disgusting air around you, Quirrell." Alexander yelled. He also took out his Magical Glock.
"You... you have been a nuisance since the beginning. Who do you think you are? Today I'll make you feel fear. My master is the strongest." Quirrell started to slowly untie his turban.
"And who is this so-called master of yours?" Alexander asked in a mocking tone. He wanted Quirrell to announce the name himself.
"Hahahaha..." Laughing sound came from Quirrell's head. Then he turned around. Showing the ugly face of the so-called dark lord. The face looked a lot uglier than the movies. There were puss-filled ulcers all over the face.
"I am his master. I am the strongest, I AM LORD VOLDEMORT and I have returned to..."
Alexander interrupted with a light laugh.
"Haha... Says the guy who got defeated by a little baby"
"SILENCE... You... That was because of that damn mudblood woman. You shouldn't have come here... Doesn't matter anymore, you will not be leaving this place alive." Voldemort said in his painful voice.
"Hahaha... That's the biggest joke I've heard till now... If I was Albus I would have already killed you in the 1st wizarding war. Whatever, I'll correct his mistakes. I, Alexander Maxim Universe, is going to kill you, I know this is not your real body but don't worry, I will hunt you down. By the way, why the hell do you call yourself pureblood? you are like anyone else. Your father was a muggle named Tom Riddle Sr, whom you killed. The father who abandoned your mother, named Merope Gaunt at childbirth because she used a love potion to marry him. You did a good job keeping that a secret and swaying the public's mind, but no more. Goodbye, Tom Marvolo Riddle." Alexander aimed his Desert eagle.
"You!, how do you know that... I will KILL YOU," Voldemort shouted with his shocked and angry face.
[BANG]
Alexander shot his Desert Eagle. The bullet cut through the air and hit straight in the middle of Voldermort's face or Quirrell's head.
The bullet exploded after piercing a little. Quirrell's head was blasted and soon his body also started to turn into dust.
"What a delusional vile creature. He overestimated himself." Alexander muttered.
He called Voldermort a creature and not a man because he had checked his sins.
||Tom Marvolo Riddle- category 5(pure evil)
Sin percentage- 95%
Murder - 9940(3000 babies)
Soul sacrifice- 300
Torture-76700
Sexual assault-9001
Demonic/dark rituals- 4098||
That was Voldermort's status report. He was in the last category. His only punishment was to die and be erased from space and time. Though it surprised him that Niko from GTA had a much higher kill number and yet he wasn't a category 5. He then hypothesized that it must have something to do with the ability of NPCs to respawn. Technically Nico never killed anyone except the main story characters.
"Sir..." Hermione came to him.
He came out of trans and looked at the trio. He ruffled Hermione's hair.
"Haha... Good job... Ron, Harry let's go now. I am feeling hungry" He had already taken out the philosopher's stone from the mirror. The trio were about to leave the room when Harry moved back to the mirror of erised. He stood there with a sad face.
Alexander knew what was going on. Harry must be seeing his parents in the mirror. He took Hermione and Ron's hand and moved close to Harry. He stroked his hair and said.
"Your parents loved you a lot Harry. Your mom sacrificed herself to save you. She was able to do that because of love. Child, love is the strongest force in the world, even Voldermort couldn't face it as he was devoid of love. I am sure that your mother would feel sad if she saw you like this. Imprint their smiling faces in your mind and embrace the present. After all, you are not alone. You've got the smartest girl in school and the... the... Ron as your friends."
"Hey, why did you stutter with my name?" Ron refuted.
"Haha... Let's go now" He took Harry's hand and walked out.
"Hey, don't ignore me" Ron yelled and picked up his pace.
Harry smiled at his friend's silly antics. Ron was dumb but at least he was good at entertaining.
...
They returned to the common hall on the ground floor. First, they ate something and then Alexander sent them to their dorms while he headed to the headmaster's office.
The moment he entered the office he heard Snape's voice.
"You were supposed to protect the boy... You kept on telling everyone that he was safe and living happily but did you ever go there to check up on him?... You just sent him to the wolf's den. They beat him and treated him like a slave for Merlin's sake. You failed to protect Lily from Voldemort and now you failed again... You" he was yelling at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore was silently listening to him with a pained face. He really didn't know about Harry's life. He was so busy with his job as Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, headmaster and Supreme Mugwump that he ignored his biggest duty. He just thought that Harry would be safe there from evil Voldermort but he had never expected that other evils would find their way to torture the poor child.
"Easy now, Severus. I have something important to tell you both," Alexander walked in.
