Chapter 24: Nighttime Dangers

Hey it's me Goddess. Hi to all of you who review and to the rest of you that read and don't review well your just lucky I don't contact the Angel of Death to come for you. Just kidding Death's actually a really nice guy when you're not on his list of people to kill. Okay any way I had a question left in a review why did Lily come visit Ileana instead of Ileana's mom? The answer to the question is because just like Ileana cant see Sirius the father she never met she cant meet her mother yet either I may have them meet later on in the story. Now enough of this on with the story. ---------

Ileana flew back to the hospital wing to be greeted a shrieking Madam Pomfrey "How dare you leave this wing Ms. Thompson how dare you what if for some reason Dumbledores spell didn't work what then"?

"I'm sorry Madame Pomfrey I didn't mean to worry you I just had to do something. Can I go talk to Professor Dumbledore?" she said respectfully.

"No need Ms. Thompson as I am here" came Dumbledores voice.

"Professor can I speak to you alone" she implored.

"Certainly Ms. Thompson." He pulled the curtains around two of the beds sat down on one motioned for Ileana to sit on the other and pointed his wand at the curtains and muttered "silenco". "Ileana what's wrong you look like you've seen death".

"Well I kind of did Professor," she whispered

Professor Dumbledore looked at her oddly "what did you see"

Speaking softly she said "My Godmother".

To Ileana's surprise Dumbledore smiled "you saw Lily" he said. "I was wondering when you would try to call for a spirit".

"Professor you knew I would see Lily. Wait a second how did you know I can call a spirit."

"Because you have many of the same powers as Merlin and he had the ability to call fore spirits so I naturally assumed you would be able to also. Ileana I will not deny that you possess more power than all the witches and wizards you've met, including myself. Your powers are going to allow you to great things someday. I'm guessing you tried to call for Sirius". He said gravely

"Yes sir. Lily told me that I wouldn't be allowed to see him for a while. Professor there has to be away for me to see him he died thinking I hated him". She said with her voice cracking.

"Ileana your father knows you don't hate him," said Dumbledore "he knew that even when he was alive. May see the spell you wrote to get rid of Victoria" she handed him a piece of parchment with the incantation on it.

"Professor in order for the spell to work someone who loves me must say the spell while holding my hand so my power can flow through him/her". She said sighing, "it will never work".

Dumbledore looked at her oddly and said "have faith when the good lord closes a door he always opens a window you will get rid of Victoria". Then Dumbledore left the hospital wing and Ileana thought {I hope he's right}. ------------- A few days later at night screams erupted from the hospital wing. Ileana was in terrible pain it felt like the Cruciatus Curse was being use on her again and again. When Madame Pomfrey found her screaming in pain she immediately called for Dumbledore and Snape. All the teachers heard what was happening and many ran to find spells to ease her pain. Fred Weasly ran into the Hospital Wing and turned pale.

"What the hell. Something is hurting her do something," he yelled

Madame Pomfrey turned to him and said through tears "something is killing her". Fred scared for her life sat down on the bed next to Ileana for he had been about to faint.

Suddenly realization struck Dumbledore he handed Fred a piece of parchment and said "hold her hand and read the spell". Fred looked at Dumbledore quizzically then nodded he took Ileana's hand in his and read his voice shaking with fear

"Host soul reject this evil essence Let love's light end this cruel possession. Ashes to ashes, spirit-to-spirit take their soul, banish this evil"

As he finished saying it a purple light filled the air and Ileana's screams stopped.
