The tears from the bottle fell and touched the Diadem.
A deafening scream came from the artefact.
"Aaaaahhhhh," a dark energy fought its way out of the crown.
"Aaaaahhhhh... no... no..." the energy took the form of a deformed face as it writhed in agony.
"No one... no one was to know about this room," a look of pure hatred filled the mass of dark magic staring at Octavius.
"You were too sure of yourself," he said as he confronted the being.
Octavius had studied dark magic with his father at the Black Manor.
But this kind of magic was unknown to him, it was as if a person's soul was trapped within the tiara.
Possession, perhaps,' he thought.
"I will kill him," the soul was ready to attack in full fury.
But then its attack was interrupted.
"No, no, no. Lord Voldemort will not be defeated," he shouted as he felt the Phoenix's tears affect his existence.
His ethereal body began to burn with flames.
"Voldemort?" Octavius thought of the name, remembering that this must be the Master that Lucius Malfoy had followed.
Howling in agony, the soul trapped within the diadem crumbled to dust.
Now the silver artefact was usable again, free from the taint of dark magic.
Now, in addition to the artefact in his hands, Octavius was interested in the magic that had caused a living wizard to place his soul in a jar.
He would have to do some research, as the possibilities with such an ability were manifold.
With a thought, he was out of the Precise Room in the corridor on the seventh floor again.
He had to find Helena to tell her about the find and to ask her to use the artefact for a while.
Something created by one of the founders of Hogwarts would help him a lot in his development.
Concentrating on the mental link he had with Helena because of his ability to persuade, he located her wandering and floating around the fifth floor.
He headed towards her.
Octavius descended the stairs to the fifth floor, where he noticed the presence of the ghost of Corvinal House.
"Helena," he called so that she would notice him.
"Octavius, my dear friend. You... " she couldn't finish her sentence when she saw what Octavius had taken from his robes to show her.
Her mother's Diadem, her greatest regret in life, something she had allowed to be tainted by dark magic.
Now it was back in front of her.
"Thank you. Thank you. " she said as she threw herself at him in an attempt to hug him, sending her straight past him.
The cold, unfeeling face she had been wearing was soon replaced by a happy smile.
After some time of talking to the spirit and getting her permission for him to use the artefact.
Octavius realised it was time to fulfil Professor Flitwick's wish and meet Pandora on the shores of the Black Lake.
"See you later Helena," he said goodbye.
"See you in your dreams, Octavius," Helena replied, her eyes full of affection and passion in Octavius' direction.
{ Black Lake }
Octavius walked along the shore.
Further along he noticed Pandora casting a charm as she pointed her wand at the lake.
"Maximum Bombardment," she declared, and then there was a crashing sound that disturbed the still waters of the lake.
Mighty looked at him.
"Hello Pandora," he made his presence known.
"Ohh... Octavius... hello," Pandora replied, still distracted by making mental notes about her charm test.
"I've come to fulfil Professor Flitwick's request," he reminded her.
"Oh!... of course... of course... the Professor," she seemed to remember. "Come and help me, I'm running tests on the charm," she took his hand and pulled him along.
"I want to increase its power, so I'm testing it on water," she explained the reason for the water.
"Won't it upset the creatures in the lake?" he asked, knowing that some magical creatures lived in the great dark side of Hogwarts.
"They seem to like me and never bother me," she said smiling, letting her aura of joy infect the place.
"Understood," he agreed with her.
"Test it too... I need more information," she asked him. "Start with a simple Bombard charm," she requested.
Octavius took his wand from his robes and pointed it at the lake, chanting the charm "Bombarda".
"Yes... yes... I understand," Pandora wrote several lines in her notebook.
The tests continued for several more hours, making even Octavius tired, but Pandora still seemed to have her energy levels up to the brim.
Pandora used the spell again on the 'maximum bombardment' side, this time with a much larger shock wave due to the modifications she had made using the information she had gathered from herself and Octavius during the afternoon.
With its increased power, the spell caused the water on the side to fly towards the two near the shore. Octavius and Pandora were drenched.
Octavius wasn't angry with the girl as he looked at her beside him.
The water made her clothes very transparent, revealing her underwear and showing off her beautiful, sexy body.
"We can go to my room and change if you like," he said with a persuasive tone in his voice, offering her a choice.
Pandora, forgetting that a simple spell could resolve the situation, agreed to the request. "Sure, let's go."
Her innocent, happy smile filled Octavius with even more temptation to make her feel pleasure.
