Chapter 297: Concerning development and resolve

Dumbledore was not joking about his support in expanding the realm at all as over the next few days he gave Nick no less than thirty miles worth of expanded space items that were feed to the ring dramatically increasing the amount of room the "planet" had to fit in. The headmaster loved sitting inside the realm and casting spells that struck the "edge" of the realm before sacrificing a spatial item and then checking the distance improvement again. The old goat wasn't alone in this either as despite Nick's insistence that he could afford to get the stone himself Flitwick had purchased a large hills worth of mixed soil just for this purpose.-

Helpless Nick could only indulge the two older wizards and watch the "planet" double in size. After the third day though things got busy for everyone as something came out of nowhere ruining the peaceful school year. Harry woke up screaming at midnight on the night of November fifteen having received a vision of someone in black robes and a skull mask sacrificing nearly twenty people to repair the decrepit body of Voldemort. Nick , Harry and Ron immediately broke curfew to seek out Dumbledore.-

"I won't lecture you about how serious this matter is since it's clear to me that you are well aware. Know however that I very much disapprove of you keeping this information to yourself and even the actions you have taken knowing it. Right now however as you have said we have a more pressing concern in the form of the last inanimate horcrux. You say you have tracked it down but have not had the time to collect and destroy it yet , correct?" Dumbledore says sternly. Nick nodded "It's located inside the residence of the Gaunt clan which is a shack in little Hangleton" he said seriously.-

"Don't try and go to that place without me as not only do you lack the means to destroy the cursed thing while I have it but the things have a way to ensnare the spirit which doesn't work on me." Nick added shutting that thought down before Dumbledore could even have it. The old goat stared at Nick sternly "I cannot in good conscience allow you to continue to act against Voldemort in such a reckless manner." he said firmly. Nick snorted and immediately started pulling out the ex horcrux's from his realm , the diadem , the locket and the goblet.-

"I am already inextricably involved in this matter and refuse to stop until that man is gone for good , will you help me or must I take drastic measures to get it done?" Nick said staring the man straight in the eyes. The two locked gazes for an entire minute without backing down as the very air felt stifling as their magic pressured and clashed against the others. Eventually Dumbledore relented "So be it but you must follow me orders without hesitation understood?" he said and Nick nodded in agreement.
