Atior began searching the study, overturning tables and emptying shelves of their contents, when he heard the sound of footsteps behind him. He knew it could only be one person....

"We have to stop meeting like this Aldus." Atior said as he turned to face the old wizard.

"It be easier if you'd stop breaking into my study." Dumbledore said, his wand at the ready. While an exchange like this would usually be humorous, the past history the two shared cast a grim air over it.

"You know why I'm here." Atior said as he began to circle Dumbledore slowly.

"Yes. You're here for that tome, are you not? The Secret of The Darkest Art." Dumbledore replied, not letting Atior out of his sight.

"Yes."

"Still not letting go are you?" Dumbledore asked. "Do you even know how horrific the process of Horcrux creation is? Do you even know how much of yourself you'd lose?" Dumbledore said. Atior stopped and seemed to consider what the man was saying for a moment.

"I do." Atior said with a shrug. "But I don't care." He pointed his wand at Dumbledore and launched a beam of green magical energy at him. Dumbledore blocked it with a Silver Shield spell and launched a counterattack that Atior managed to avoid.
