Chapter Seventeen: Prepare

Harry had figured he didn't really want to kill anyone unless there was no other way, and so he had looked up all sorts of things to defeat Voldemort without killing him. Finally when he was just losing hope, he remembered something which both Bellatrix (oh how ironic) and Severus had told him. Dark Magic –once you had used it - would keep calling out to you, would want you to use it until you were consumed by it. Harry figured this sounded a lot like being addicted to something, and there were things that could be done against an addiction, although Voldemort would need a lot of it.

So he had been looking for magical means to rid someone of an addiction. It would need to work right away, seeing as how it would be unpractical to keep Voldemort in some sort of clinic to rehabilitate.

In the old tome he had thought he finally found something. It was a spell that had to be performed on the one you wished to cure. Your intentions had to be pure, and you couldn't do it alone, as it took a lot of energy. Also, the more and longer someone was addicted, the more power was needed to cure them. Harry had even made calculations and estimations on how much power would be needed to use this on Voldemort. And he had come up with the shocking high number of 300 people. This would be almost the entire Hogwarts population. So underneath the notes, he had written: "nearly hopeless, I can't expect everyone to be able to cast this spell, as it would take too much energy from the younger students."

This was read out to the students. However when they heard about this, and Draco asked if they wanted to raise their hands if they wished to help, most students raised their hands. The only exceptions were five seventh year Slytherin students, who were promptly stunned, and dragged of by Filch, who was cackling about getting his manacles out again. The other students dared to snicker lightly.

Faced with a solution to help Voldemort, and with determined students, Dumbledore set out to learn them the spell and wand movements. They would have to perform this all in one go, or else it wouldn't work. The words were the trickiest part, as the spell was a really long one. Mc Gonaggell contacts all Order members, as well as Aurors, and they quickly arrive at Hogwarts, to see groups of students learning the incantation and the wand movements. They quickly learn of the situation, and are determined to protect the students who are willing to go along with this plan.

The incantation they needed to learnmeant thisin English: 'Clean this body of the addiction, clean the mind of the addiction, clean the magic from the addiction. Make the body, mind and spirit whole again.'

In Latin it sounded like this 'Libera hunc corpum ab cupiditate,

libera mentem ab cupiditate,

libera magum ab cupiditate.

Coalesce corpum, mentem et animum.'

When everyone had it all memorised (with several very proud teachers, who never knew their students could learn a spell under an hour) Dumbledore gathered them all in groups of about fifty students and three leaders, either teachers or older HQB members. Every groupwas handed a Portkey that will take them as close to Godric's Hollow as possible. The Order members were clearing the way silently, and the Aurors would scout ahead of the large group of students. As one the entire school is suddenly nearly empty, except for Filch, the five students, Trelawney, who had been staying in her Tower and Petunia, who helped prepare the hospital wing with Poppy.

Silently the rest landed in Godric's Hollow, ready to help their fellow student.


A/N: the Latin translation was made by Julia. Another reader also translated for me and this is what came out of that.

Ablue hoc corpus aegrotationis, ablue mentes aegrotationis, ablue veneficium aegrotationis. Corpus, mentes, animusque totus denuo fac."

This was written by: Rhysel Ash.

Thanks to both of them! And for those who know their Latin, you can decide which of these translations you find best, I haven't got a clue!
