Grandpa Universe In Multiverse [COMPLETE]

Chapter 25: 25. Who's the bad guy?



After activating the wards, he set the diary in front of him. With a long breath, he sent a probe into the Diary. As expected, the memories started to appear.

They were more distorted than the other Horcruxes though. Maybe because the Diary wasn't a magical artifact. Still, he saw some images and heard some voices.

"You disappointed me, Tom" Dumbledore's voice.

"And you used me in the name of your so-called 'for the greater good'"

Then the scene changed and a dense forest came into his view. Tom kneeled on the ground.

"Master F..., please teach me. I will do anything you want in return," Tom pleaded.

"Anything you say?" A female-ish voice replied. Alexander couldn't see her face as the figure was wearing a big hood which created a shadow over the face but once thing was sure that it was a woman.

Again the scene surprisingly changed to the first wizarding war which happened way after he made the diary his Horcrux. Voldemort and Dumbledore were throwing spells at each other.

"You bastard... You used me, it was you all this time," Voldemort shouted.

"No, I didn't use you, I tried to help you. You forced me into doing this, Tom" Dumbledore said angrily.

That's it. The memory ended and Alexander left the dark nasty consciousness. He then threw the diary into his space pocket.

"Hmmm... Confusing. Confusing and disturbing. I have no idea who the real villain is. Dumbledore or that woman. But Dumbledore has been helping me so much all this time. Sure he is a bit too paranoid but, I saw nothing else bad about him and it was that woman who taught Voldemort in the first place. I guess I'll have to find her before I do anything else." He talked to himself.

"Oh wait, I haven't checked the 4 relics of the Hogwarts founder. Well, I know what the Gryffindor's sword and the diadem do. The sword can absorb the ability of magical things it touches and the diadem gives superintelligence which I already have. but I have no idea what the Hufflepuff cup and Slytherin Locket do. I guess I should ask them myself." He focused on the ring with the resurrection stone and focused on the spirit he wants to meet.

"Helga Hufflepuff," he said her name.

A white shadow came out of the ring and transformed into the shape of a chubby lady with a cheerful smile.

"Hello, God-son. I saw what you did with my cup. Thank you for removing that dark entity from it" she spoke.

"You know me?" Alexander asked.

"Yes, you are currently the hottest topic in heaven. We were all telling God to adopt another son as he was feeling lonely and luckily he found you. Now, I presume you want to ask me something?"

"ah.. Yes, yes... I wanted to know the ability of this cup. There is no mention of it in the history books." He enthusiastically asked.

"Oh, that's simple. I made it in my days to help the hungry people of the world. You see, the cup can infinitely produce any beverage you put in it. Hot chocolate, whiskey, or any other liquid thing. I used to make soup with it" she warmly replied.

"So, If I put stew soup with meat in, Would it reproduce the meat as well?"

"Good question but sadly the answer is no. Creating this was already a great challenge. It took me 80 years to just give it the ability to reproduce beverages, though if you add meat in your stew soup the soup produced would still have meat's flavor. I wanted to make a large bowl version of it that could reproduce solid food but sadly I had grown too old and passed away before I could complete my goal." She said with a sad face.

"Ummm... Can you share your research with me so that I can complete it."

"Absolutely love... But I must warn you. You cannot reproduce the raw materials as it would destroy the whole food market of the world. The beverages and food must be an end product..."

They talked for a long time. She taught him how she made the cup and also her the incomplete work on the large bowl. After 6 hours they were finally done and he let her go.

*Sigh*

"That took longer than I expected but the gains were fruitful and she was correct for not selling raw ingredients. It would destroy the market, not like I was thinking of doing it. Okay, next stop Salazar Slytherin." He mumbled.

Once again a white figure came in front of him. The guy looked really old and had a mean angry face.

"Why have you summoned me from heaven, God-son?" he annoyingly asked.

"I won't waste much of your time. I found this locket of yours and I wanted to know its abilities."

"Ah this! this brings back memories. Last time I checked some dumb boy calling himself my heir made it his Horcrux. I can see you have purified it, well not much surprise for me. After all, you are God-son. This locket gives the user the ability to go invisible and fly. Flying is simple but invisibility is the main ability. I made it when the other decided to let muggles into the school. I used the locket to make my chamber invisible while I worked at it. It can probably make the whole Hogwarts castle turn invisible." He answered.

Alexander was satisfied with the answer but decided to ask something that had been itching him.

"By the way, why did you hate muggles so much?" Alexander asked.

"Who said I hated them? I was just being practical. Humans fear what they don't understand and when they fear, they fight. The muggles were already killing wizards and newly awoken kids on staks. By allowing muggles into Hogwarts we had to show ourselves to the parents of the student which was very risky, according to me. Hence, I made the chamber of secrets where I worked on an artifact that could scan the world in real-time and register the names and location of children who are most likely to awaken and in worst case teleport them to Hogwarts if their life was in danger. This would have let us save many children before their parents killed them, calling them devil spawn. Many kids had to suppress their magic powers due to a threat to life and it turned them into obscurus. Most of those kids used to die at or before the age of 10. Sadly, I couldn't complete that artifact before my eternal sleep." His last words were filled with sadness.

"You are really misinterpreted by the world, Mr. Slytherin. You truly thought about solving the problem from its roots rather than opting for a short term solution. I'll be honored to complete your artifact if you can share your part of the research with me" He offered.

"It doesn't really matter what they think about me. Though I am dead and the world has advanced, the artifact could still save many lives. I'll be grateful to you if you can make it..."

They shared their thoughts and research. By the time Alexander was done. The whole night had already passed.

"Now I'll first deal with the remaining soul shard in Harry and then go to Albania to find Nagini. Edward is yet to send me a report from there," he said to himself and apparated to Dursleys.

He found that Harry was not in his home but at Sirius's new house across the street.

"Oh, professor how are you here?" Harry exclaimed.

"Well, we need to talk. Good thing Snape is here too." He said while entering.

Alexander took some water and sat down on the couch.

"What happened, sir?" Snape asked.

"You guys know that I have been searching for Voldermort's Horcruxes. I have probably found and destroyed all of them except the one which is in this house"

"Sure, take whatever you want man," Sirius said. He thought that it was something like the locket.

"It's not a thing that I want. The Horcrux is Harry. When Voldemort died that night because of Lily's sacrifice. Voldermort's soul latched on to the nearest living being. The mark on Harry's forehead is because of that." He explained.

Sirius and Snape's face paled at hearing that. Harry didn't understand much so he didn't know how to feel.

"Horcrux can only be removed if the thing is destroyed..." Snape said.

"Yes, but don't forget who I am. Dealing with the Horcrux is easy as hell for me. If we don't remove the Horcrux then Voldermort will use Harry's life force to resurrect himself, which is the main concern."

"Damn, let's do it then," Sirius panicked but he had full trust in Alexander.

"Yes... But Harry. It will hurt a lot" He said.

"I'll tolerate it, professor. I have been feeling weak these days. Now I know why. Let's do it," Harry said.

Alexander nodded and covered the whole room with protection runes. Then he conjured a bed.

"Lie down"

Harry anxiously got on the bed and lay down.

"Okay, it will hurt but I'll try to do it as fast as possible," Alexander said and put his palm on the lightning bolt scar. He slowly sent the pure energy of Patronus charm into it. At the same time, he used the mind-arts to get into his head. He had to make sure that the soul shard didn't try to take over Harry's body.

Outside, Snape and Sirius looked at Harry's body, lightly twitching in pain.

Alexander found the soul shard hidden deep inside Harry's brain. He attacked it with his soothing magic and also started channeling Patronus energy to that area. It was a painful process and after 20 minutes Alexander successfully destroyed the soul shard.

"It's done. The curse mark will also heal in a few days. Harry, drink this rejuvenation potion"

Harry slowly drank it and felt his body getting the energy back.

"Thank you professor" Harry thanked with a smile.

"Haha... It's what I should do, kid" Alexander ruffled his hair.

"Okay, I must go now. I recently found out that there could be someone even more dangerous than Voldermort lurking out somewhere. I must find that person," Alexander said and apparated.

He knew that his words would reach Dumbledore which would bring out some kind of reaction from him. Dumbledore also had a Uniphone and spying on him was very easy.
