Chapter 8: Exorcism part 2

"He was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

Isaiah 53:5

Sarah began to break into a series of violent seizures and began screaming unholy words and cursing God and Jesus, but Father Roberts read on:

FR: "Holy Mother of God, Holy Virgin of virgins, St Michael, St Gabriel, St Raphael, All holy angels and archangels, All holy orders of blessed spirits…"

All of a sudden, Sarah leapt free of her bonds and pinned Father Roberts to the ground, "Where's your God now Roberts, He doesn't care about this whore or you…" it said in the mature voice, but before it could finish, Harry, Ron and Hermione grabbed it and pulled it off of Father Roberts. It turned around and bit Harry on the neck, drawing blood, Harry screamed and let go of it, clutching his neck. Father Roberts grabbed it around the waist and began chanting in its ears,

"I cast you out, unclean spirit, along with every Satanic power of the enemy, every specter from hell, and your fell companions; in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ…"

At the mention of Christ's name, Sarah screamed a loud, high pitched scream which shattered the windows of the common room,

"Begone and stay far from this creature of God. For it is He who commands you, He who flung you headlong from the heights of heaven into the depths of hell. It is He who commands you, He who once stilled the sea and the wind and the storm. Hearken, therefore and tremble in fear, Satan, you enemy of the faith, you foe of the human race, you begetter of death, you robber of life, you corruptor of justice, you root of all evil and vice; seducer of men, betrayer of the nations, instigator of envy, font of avarice, formentor of discord, author of pain and sorrow. Why, then, do you stand and resist, knowing as you must that Christ the Lord brings your plans to nothing? Fear Him, who in Isaac was offered in sacrifice, in Joseph sold into bondage, slain as the paschal lamb, crucified as man, yet triumphed over the powers of hell. Begone then, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Give place to the Holy Spirit, by this sign of the holy cross," he held up the crucifix in front of Sarah's face which caused her to scream even louder, "Of our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns and lives with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever."

While, saying all this, Father Roberts had succeeded in tying Sarah down again and stood over her gasping. All of a sudden, Sarah turned to look at Ron and he fell to the floor, screaming and clawing at something that did not exist. Harry and Hermione crouched next to him, "What's wrong," asked Hermione, but Father Roberts pushed them aside and stood over Ron, laid his hand on Ron's forehead and said, "In the name of the Father of Heaven and Earth, leave the mind of this creature of God." At that instant Ron passed out and Sarah began to laugh fiendishly and passed out.

"What happened to her?" asked Harry.

"The demon is gone for now," answered Father Roberts.

"For now?" screamed Hermione, "What do you mean for now?"

"It'll come back, but I have a plan," said Father Roberts and he left the common room.
