Disclaimer – Unfortunately I don't own anything! Please read and review but
most importantly ENJOY!
A/N – I am so SORRY! I know I've taken ages in up dating but I've had problems with my computer, then problems with the story, then problems with the computer...It goes on and on. I hope this is good enough for you. But this time had given me the direction I need and my flimsy storyline had now become much more stable. Hope this can redeem your faith in me and I PROMISE that I will update quicker!
On with the story!
"So, this spell will wake Li up?" Sakura was sat at Li's side with Dumbledore, Madam Pomfrey, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick.
"No, it will take you home." Sakura's head shot up and she looked straight into the headmaster's eyes.
"Really?"
"This is ancient magic, at it's most complicated. If it works you will both be drained of your magic for a short while but you will return home. Now, it will take some time to gather the ingredients however, it will be worth the wait." Sakura smiled but it faltered when she looked at her friend.
"So he'll still be asleep when we get home."
"Yes, you will appear in the place you disappeared from exactly one day after you were taken. This spell affects time as time is what keeps the dimensions separate, or one of the many aspects of time."
"So you could stay here for about a year and when you went home all your friends would be able to remember would be you being missing for one day." McGonagall explained at the confused look on the young girl's face. Sakura nodded.
"We will start gathering the needed ingredients tonight." Professor Flitwick added as he, Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall left.
"Thank you!" The young sorceress called before turning to Dumbledore. "Really thank you. I don't know how to thank you for doing this."
"Oh no, Miss Avalon, it is I who should be thanking you. Me and the whole wizarding world. You have enabled us to detain one of the most powerful and evil wizards of our time. At your own cost." His eyes briefly rested on Li's figure but the headmaster quickly returned his gaze to the young girl.
"Will you be dining in the great hall?" Before he had even finished talking Sakura was shaking her head.
"No thank you, I think I'll stay here tonight." The old wizard nodded then left the hospital wing.
"Mandrake root, bezoar, aconite, porcupine quills and asphood. They're the ingredients needed for the potion."
"Asphood?"
"The antidote to asphodel." Snape replied.
"How long until all the ingredients are ready?"
"Most of the ingredients are easy to get, we either already have them here or are ording them in. But it will take three weeks until the mandrake root is ready.£ Professor Sprout stated. Madam Pomfrey sighed.
"We may not have that long." The other teachers gathered 8in the meeting all looked at the school nurse.
"What do you mean?" Dumbledore asked quietly.
"The boy's condition is getting worse, at first I thought I was mistaken but I'm not. His breathing is getting shallower and his heartbeat is getting weaker. I doubt he has three weeks."
"How long does he have?"
"I really don't know. He keeps improving then he gets worse. He might be able to hold out but ...I really don't know. I haven't told the young girl either; I didn't think she'd be able to cope if she knew." Many of the teachers shared concerned looks as the school nurse talked. Dumbledore stood from his seat and every one turned to look at him.
"Poppy you must do everything you can to keep the boy alive, do not tell Miss Avalon of his condition. Minerva, you will oversee that all the ingredients are gathered, as quickly as possible. Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout will no doubt help you. Everything must be done with great speed but with the utter most care, we cannot make a mistake."
"What are you going to be doing Albus?"
"I will be helping the ministry with the transportation of Lord Voldemort to Azkaban, assisted by Professor Snape." A meaningful look passed between the two before Snape nodded. As the teachers began to leave Dumbledore stopped Professor McGonagall.
"How long until the potion is ready?"
"The earliest we can do it is the night after Halloween."
"Then you must work fast. I fear we will lose our young sorcerer if we do not act quickly."
"I cannot do it headmaster!"
"Severus, you do not have a choice. It must be done." The portraits lining the headmaster's office listened to the argument while carrying on their own conversations. Severus Snape stood in front of Dumbledore, who was sitting behind his desk.
"Doing this would mean the return of the Dark Lord."
"I am not comfortable with this either but it must be done. The situation does have positive sides, your loyalty will no longer be doubted. And we will learn greatly from the result of this." Snape nodded his head before sitting down in one of the chairs in front of the headmaster's desk.
"I am not at all comfortable with putting you through this but it is necessary. And I know you will come out of this alive. You have my trust and prayers."
"What about Potter?" The potions master practically growled. Dumbledore smiled.
"I get the impression that you do not like him Severus."
"Like father, like son." The black haired wizard replied and Dumbledore laughed slightly.
"It is not time yet. It just isn't...cannot be his time yet."
A/N – I am pleased to inform you that half of the next chapter is already written! So you won't have too long to wait this time! And if you do...don't read my story anymore. NO! Read my story but don't review. NO! Oh, you decide my punishment if I do it again! Stay tuned folks!
However, I must point out that it can't be my fault if my computer erases half the chapter like it did this time! It would just be mean to blame me for something that technology did. But I won't go into that right now. Tune in next week folks!
