Chapter 82- When You Go Into Hogwarts Tonight...

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

I slam down onto the armchair in my room and relax back into it, letting out a big sigh from a long-ass day that has been hell on my mind and just given me a whole bunch of more stress. After I was left in that hallway with the knocked-out girl, I decided to just levitate her up and take her to the infirmary. Thankfully, Madam Pomfrey is not up at all hours checking on her patients, so I just snuck in and put the girl in one of the beds. The beds were all full of students anyway so Pomfrey might not even notice the addition.

With the amount of crazy that goes on in the halls of Hogwarts, I bet half of these students don't even remember what happened and how they ended up in need of medical attention. They will just wake up here confused, then figure they are okay because they are here, and then go on about their day. This girl will probably be the same and just go about her day without questioning it. With magic in the mix, most people just tend to accept things straight up and go about their days, never pondering why or delving into the mysteries. Some people actually use their brains, but they are few and far between.

And then I returned to my room, but instead of getting some sleep like I really need, here I am on the armchair, thinking. Because the events of tonight have things so out of wack, and the ramifications are catastrophic. Riddle has split his diary into pages and can fly them throughout the school and take control of people, but they are entirely unaware of it. I don't know how he gained enough power to be capable of such things, but he did. You would usually think that such power comes with sacrifices, just like he was trying to sacrifice Ginny in the original, but nobody has died in the vicinity. Not even anybody from Hogsmeade.

Anyway, how he got his power doesn't matter anymore since he already has it, and there is nothing I can do to change that. What I need to focus on now is defeating that son of a bitch, and that means getting the diary, which means I have a search quest to get all of the pages. And the difficulty of this quest is a question mark because I don't know how many of the damn things there are out there. There could be over a hundred, and each of them could sneakily be on a student and control them without their knowledge. Imagine that an entire network of sleeper agent children is doing his bidding, and the scary thing is that this has probably been going on for months without anybody's knowledge. Not to mention the fact that they have been up to something for all that time, and no one knows what. Obviously, he has been planning something big, something that is taking time to come together, and he is working towards its fruition and that scares me more than anything.

Well, with a thought like that in my mind, I can't just go happily off to my bed and nod off for the day, can I? Sighing to myself again, I get my wand and beckon the Diadem cage forth towards me, and then focusing, I cast the Horcrux location spell once more, sending out feelers throughout the school for the closest Horcrux to me. A trail appears, but although it is familiar, it is not what I am looking for. The unstable Horcrux trail belonging to one Harry Potter appears before me, flickering unstably before disappearing altogether.
