CHAPTER 7 The End
Professor Dumbledore entered the school only to find the entire teacher and student body, waiting eagerly for him.
Soon, most of the school was in his office, explaining to him how they had been interchanged and how the school was in total chaos.
Dumbledore tried to calm them down...but they would not listen. They wanted him to take some action immediately.
"Albus, I've heard there's no countercharm! What are we to do?" asked Professor McGonnagol.
All the students and teachers were in a state of despair and havoc. All accept two. In the corner, Professor Flitwick remained silent. He looked troubled...but he wasn't joining in with the others, in showering Dumbledore with questions. At the other side of the room, Harry stood and watched Dumbledores expression. He seemed calm and he didn't seem to be surprised with the situation at all. A sudden doubt crept into Harry's mind. Could Dumbledore have cast the spell? Dumbledore got up. He calmed down the troubled mob of teachers and students and began to talk.
"I have just informed the ministry..." He began. But unfortunately he didn't get to finish.
There was a loud bang and the right hand side wall exploded. In through the gigantic hole that hade been made through the wall, stepped everyone's worst nightmare----Lord Voldemort.
* * * *
The Polyjuice Potion was almost ready. All Nathaniel had to do was add the hairs. Somehow, it didn't really seem right. Maybe it needed some charm for him to get it right. "Changeo!" he commanded.
Suddenly he felt a weird sensation...like his spirit was leaving his body. And as if by magic (which it was), he had become someone else.
And that was how Nathaniel Flitwick invented the Personality Interchange Charm
* * * *
Lord Voldemort, sinister and deadly, sneered at the whole room. "Well, Dumbledore..I see you have quite a few fans.." He said sneeringly.
"I suppose you want to kill Harry?" asked Dumbledore calmly.
"And I suppose you think I won't be able to? What with this whole charm you've cast?" The whole room gasped.
Voldemort looked around, addressing the whole room. 'I suppose you don't know what your beloved principal has been doing,' he said. 'He's been interchanging all your bodies so that I wont be able to find Harry and kill him. Fortunately for me, your very wise professor has forgotten something very obvious. I don't mind killing each and everyone of you to find Harry.'
There was silence in the room. Usually people would have been running to and fro in havoc, but the company had seen that Dumbledore was smiling at them.
Professor Dumbledore turned to Voldemort.
"Harry hasn't been changed with anyone. He's in his own body"
The room gasped again. How could Dumbledore be telling The Dark Lord this?
Sirius/Hagrid stepped up and stood before Harry, shielding him.
"I wont let him die!" said Sirius
"I can assure you Sirius, that he wont die." Said Dumbledore
The room gasped again. Sirius? Sirius Black? Who else could it be? Sirius was a wizard name, and a very uncommon one at that!
"Harry will die. And nobody can stop me from killing this entire room. You've succeeded in preventing me from using the Imperious Curse on the school...but you wont prevent the deaths." Said Voldemort and raised his wand to kill Harry. "Avada." he started
"Changeo!" said Dumbledore.
Harry felt his head swim. He felt his spirit leave his body, slowly but surely. He could feel his spirit leave his body and enter another one.
Suddenly, Harry found himself in Voldemorts body!
Voldemort/Harry looked down and discovered what had happened. He picked up Harry's wand from the floor.
"Surely, You aren't going to kill Harry in your own body? You'll lose your body and we all know you don't want to remain a teenage boy!" said Dumbledore. Voldemort was at a loss. He looked down at his new body. He knew he couldn't kill Harry now. He must make his escape. He started to move.
The Dumbledore stunned him.
'That was the flaw in making himself human.' Said Dumbledore. 'He can be subjected to Human spells.'
Dumbledore looked around at the very speechless, confused and terrified room. "Minerva, would you please call in the Ministry of Magic?" he said.
Prof. McGonnagol retreated.
"Prof. Will I have Voldemorts body forever?" asked Harry.
"No Harry. As soon as Voldemort is in the hands of the Ministry of Magic, I'll return you to your own body."
"Then it can be done! We can be returned?" asked Prof Sprout.
"Yes. It can be done." With a wave of his wand Dumbledore started changing everybody back to their normal bodies.
Soon, every spirit and every personality was returned to it's body. Everyone except Harry.
"Professor, the Ministry of Magic is here." Said Minerva, entering the room.
Behind her came Cornelius Fudge and Percy Weasly.
"Where is he?" asked Fudge
Everyone looked towards the corner where Voldemort had lain, but..
"He's gone!" shouted Percy in dismay.
"We almost had him! Yet it cannot be helped. It was destined to happen. Now I must return Harry to his rightful body" said Dumbledore.
"Changeo!" he said, and Harry felt his spirit return to his body. Voldemorts body had probably returned to him.
"Professor, if I may ask a question. Why did you interchange all our bodies?" asked a very bewildered Hagrid.
'Well,' said Dumbledore 'The Imperius Curse, works only when a persons spirit is in the rightful body. Knowing from relevant sources that the Dark Lord was going to use the curse on the school, I consulted my books, looking for a spell to stop him. Finally, I found what I was looking for. A Charm. It interchanged people's bodies. But no details were given about the charm.'
'I am well versed with Transfiguration, not Charms, so I consulted Prof Flitwick.' At this, Prof. Flitwick gave a tiny whimper and wandered into the back of the room. 'Prof Flitwick told me that the Charm was not very well known or very used because people thought that it didn't have a counter charm. But Prof Flitwick knew better. There was a counter charm. And only he knew, because he had invented the Charm, accidentally and used it himself.'
Everyone in the room looked at Prof Flitwick, who went red.
'Luckily for us, the Charm worked. Voldemort could not use the Imperious Curse on the School. And the charm saved Harry from being killed as well.'
There was a long silence after this. Then Fudge spoke up:
"But The Dark Lord has gone!"
"Whatever will be will be Cornelius. It is not up to us," said Dumbledore.
Finally satisfied with the explanation, and happy that they had got their bodies back, the company retreated.
The mystery was over. They had got their bodies back. Harry hadn't been killed. But Voldemort had escaped...and was bound to come back.
A/N: Yes Yes i know!!! But Whatever! THE END! I hope you guys liked it better than my first version!
