Chapter 66- Emo Slytherin Edge Lords.

------------------------------------

The sun had now begun to shine weakly on Hogwarts again. Inside the castle, the mood had grown more hopeful. There had been no more attacks since those on Ernie Macmillan and Nearly Headless Nick. Madam Pomfrey was pleased to report that the Mandrakes were becoming moody and secretive, meaning that they were fast leaving childhood.

I remember her telling me, "The moment their acne clears up, they'll be ready for repotting again," kindly one afternoon, not that I'd asked. "And after that, it won't be long until we're cutting them up and stewing them. Then Argus, Mrs Norris, the Creevey boy and Macmillan will be up and running again. As for Nick... I'll leave that to the Headmaster." She told me, and I nodded along politely, not replying as my mind was on more important things.

Still, even though we had gone so long without an attack, we still had it on our minds as somebody wasn't willing to shut up about it. Peeves really wasn't helping matters as he kept popping up in the crowded corridors singing, "Oh, Potter, you rotter~, oh, what have you done~? You're killing off students, you think it's good fun~" with a little dance routine to match. Needless to say, even without any attacks, Harry was very much suspect number one and had dirty looks cast at him wherever he went. I just ignored him and his friends and everything happening apart from my classes, and I was more focused on my dilemma.

My dilemma is that I am getting nowhere with trying to find Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem even though I have a direct link to it. It was so easy in my head. Literally. I had the curse in my head trapped, and the trap was being kept in Hogwarts purely by the Horcrux; that was what was powering it. So it made sense that with the curse trapped, I could somehow trace it back to its source, the Diadem. And then, with the Diadem in hand, I could manufacture a way to find the other Horcruxes through its connection since they are all made from the same soul. Then I find the book and get rid of it before anyone dies. And then Bob's your uncle. Job done.

Yeah, not so much. See, nobody had ever tried to do what I am trying to do. Pretty much because no one has ever had the need to or the capability. Most curses as insidious and elaborate as this one are usually written off as untreatable, and that was when they weren't being powered by a goddamn Horcrux. Oh yeah, usually, you can only trace a curse back to its source if you have in-depth details on it. Trust me, I have done the research, and only somebody who knows the ins and outs of the curse can trace it to its source. Which means you pretty much have to be the one who did the curse to find it.
