Chapter 28
Christmas had come and gone, but it didn't mean that the chaos hadn't ended. Ariel coached Harry, Hermione, and Ron each Tuesday and Thursday night in the Room of Requirement in order to teach them the one curse that they would need in their defense.
"Dumbledore has instructed me that we must be cautious with this spell. We must be careful. If the Ministry finds out what we are doing then Dumbledore could be permanently be removed from Hogwarts. We will be using bugs in order to do this spell. The spell has to be done with full hate in order to get it done right," Ariel told them at their first lesson.
"But, Ariel Voldermort hit me with the curse in full hate and yet I survived," Harry pointed out.
"The love of your mother saved your life," Ariel answered. He looked at her in surprise.
"How do you know that?" He asked her.
"Dumbledore told me. I was too curious about the anomaly of what had happened with you," she replied.
They practiced and practiced until they got the results that Ariel wanted.
"What if we did this spell out of pure love?" Hermione asked one day. Ariel turned around and looked at her.
"How could you love someone that is trying to kill you?" Ariel asked.
"What if you killed them because of love? Would it work?" Hermione asked again. Ariel shrugged.
"I have no idea," she answered.
Hermione turned to the spider and held out her wand. She said the words softly, not sharply as they had been taught. The curse hit the spider, but instead of green light it was a bright red light.
"What did you do?"
"I killed it with love. Harry, that is what you must do."
"How can I love the person that took away my parents?"
"You must forgive him. Forgiveness is love. That is the only way. He has already survived the curse that was said with hate. You survived because of love. That is the way that you must win Harry. You must kill him with love," Hermione said, a bright smile on her face.
"I can't forgive him," Harry replied as he looked away.
"You must. For your life and ours," Ron spoke up. Harry looked up at him.
"I just don't know if I can."
"You need time. We will post pone the lessons until you have forgiven him," Ariel told him, giving his shoulder a squeeze.
Harry sat in the Astronomy tower, looking out over the grounds. He wasn't sure how he was suppose to forgive the man that had taken away his life. His mind wandered on how different his life would have been. He would have known his parents. He could have possibly had siblings. He would never had known the Dursleys, never had to go through that hardship.
He let out a yell of pain that he had been holding within his soul.
"I wish Voldermort had never been born!" He screamed across the night sky.
A lightning bolt rocketed through the sky. The world began to spin and Harry fell backwards in the tower, falling to unconsciousness.
In the common room, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny had been sitting and talking happily when they all passed out in their spots.
(Hehehehehehe.. what is happening you ask. Well I'm updating right after this one. I told you this story was far from over! Thanks for all the reviews! Keep them coming!)
