Ch. 2 A Slight Problem

A few minutes later Albus Dumbledore was running down the hall towards the hospital ward with the disturbing news still running through his head, Prof. McGonagall at his heels. Harry and Draco had been knocked unconscious and were surrounded by a magical force field at the hospital ward after drinking one of Poppy's antidotes. It did not sound good.

As soon as he arrived at the hospital ward, he immediately saw where Harry and Draco's bodies were floating and ran to them. As he approached he felt a huge amount of magical energy around them. Poppy ran up to him in a panic.

"What's wrong with them Albus? Could my potion have done this?" She asked almost in tears. He didn't answer for a minute, studying the bubble.

"Minerva, could you please escort this class back to their classroom."

McGonagall nodded and ushered the class out with a small resistance from Ron and a breathless Hermione. Then he pulled out his wand and started scanning the magic bubble. After a few minutes of silence he turned to Poppy.

"They're in some sort of magical sleep. Similar to the eternal sleep potion. What did you put in the antidote?" He asked softly.

"I,I, put in the normal ingredients." She said timidly.

"Did Severus say anything unusual about the potion?" Dumbledore asked.

"Um, no not at all."

Dumbledore frowned and started to think. After a few minutes Poppy got up and started to clean up the mess the antidote had made.

"Poppy, stay here and watch them. I'll be back in a few minutes. I have to go get something." Dumbledore said and then hurried out of the room back to his office.

Upon reaching his office Dumbledore ran up to his bookshelf and searched for a possible answer. After a few seconds he found it. He pulled out a big heavy book with a dark red stain on the back cover, looking remarkably like blood. On the front in silver writing was strange writing of an ancient writing very few people knew anymore. Dumbledore quickly opened the book and flipped through the pages. He soon found what he was looking for.

The Acid Sleep Potion, One of the Worst Torturing Methods.

After being fed the potion and the soul is forced out, and the body is trapped in a protective bubble preventing the return of the soul. Meanwhile, inside the bubble a strong magical acid is released and the body is eaten alive slowly while the helpless soul watches in horror. Once the potion is in action, there is no cure and no way to stop it.

Dumbledore paled. There is no stopping it and no cure. Draco and Harry would die.
