The Eight Part Soul

Confront!

It was already a few days, and there was no sign of Dumbledore.

"It's like he's moving without any purpose. He never stops," I said on one occasion.

"Then, wouldn't it easier to find the snake?" Hazel asked.

I pursed my lips, "The snake is also on the move, maybe with Voldemort, maybe alone. Who knows? But it stands that finding a person might as well be easier than finding a snake to me."

Then on another occasion...

"How are you going to get the Elder Wand from Dumbledore?" Hazel asked, "It's not like we ask and he gives. He somehow knows that we are after the Deathly Hallows, and he disapproves of us doing that. There's no way he's willing to give the Elder Wand to us."

I shrugged, "I know that. We have to go with the old fashion sneak attack, and this time it's likely to work without Toad and her cronies there to barge in like last time."

"But there's a reason why Dumbledore is the greatest wizard alive. History proves it, with his battle with Grindewald, a powerful Dark Wizard. And he is the one wizard who Voldemort is scared of..."

I shrugged again, "Since when did we not face someone who's stronger than us? But that's the way it is. Like I said, sneak attack, but if he notices..."

"If he notices..." Will prompted.

"We have no choice but to duel, and later erase his memory. That's all we can do at that point," I said.

"Dueling with the greatest wizard of all time..." Hazel muttered.

"But doesn't beat our battle with Gaia, right? If we can beat Gaia, we can beat Dumbledore," Leo said, in an optimistic manner which relaxed the crew.

"How about the snake?" Calypso asked.

"Kill it. Thanks to Harry, I learned that I cannot just remove the Horcrux the old fashion way with living things especially if the snake has some lingering attachment to Voldemort, which considering the snake carries out Voldemort's orders, it's possible," I said, remembering that odd dream with the snake and Mr. Weasley.

"And umm..." I shrugged before just saying it, "It's kinda troublesome if we do the whole process of hypnotism on the snake which I don't think is entirely possible," I continued.

"Sure, animals are susceptible to hypnotism, but depending on how deep and tight the attachment toward Voldemort has with the snake, it might also be impossible."

"So killing the snake is the easiest with the least hassle," I said, with finality.

Because there was no animal lover among us, no one had qualms of killing the snake.

Then, it was about a week until...

"Down here. I think it's the Elder Wand," I said.

"Roger," Leo said, seeing Festus to land on the spot that I pointed.

"Sis, I think we need the Disillusionment Charm on us. Better safe than sorry," I said.

"Got it," Hazel said, as she performed the spell and completely camouflaged us.

"Man, these spells are sure useful when we need 'em, huh?" Leo said.

"Yup," I said.

Soon, we all landed down, as we got off. I whispered, knowing that the rest must be in near vicinity and said, "Spread out, and if you find Dumbledore, shoot red sparks from your wand into the air. Unfortunately, I can only sense him in the area, but not a certain direction."
