Besides, even you had that happen in your story and had a dementor munching on the back of Quirrell’s head, wouldn’t the result be the equivalent of destroying only a single horcrux? (unless the bits of soul are linked in such a way that the dementor can suck them all up at a distance through the one...)
You can’t escape writing the rest of this that easily! ;)
Also, hrm… would your comment here then count as you doing a parody fanfic of your own fanfic?
It could be one chapter where they debate whether or not to sic the dementor on Quirell without even confronting him, then one chapter where they figure out how to magically triangulate and destroy all of the Horcruxes at once.
Shhhh… Stop trying to make it easy for him to end the story sooner than later. ;)
(Nevermind some of the grayer ethical aspects of, in a world with potentially eternal afterlife, Moldy Voldy’s crimes may not stack up to that. (That is, “destroying a soul” >>> “killing someone” in the potter verse. Probably even “killing many someones” (otoh, IIRC the Dementor’s were to a large extent his creatures, so we can probably safely assume that he was involved with or arranged for (or, more to the point, would in the future arrange for) plenty of soul consuming/destroying))
