Chapter 85: Working A Spell

"So James is still around," Dumbledore said when Severus, Sheek, and Marcus told him what they had found.

"Yes, Headmaster," Severus said. "We believe this happened after James was killed. He must have worked a spell before his death and when it activated, it went into Harry's body. The boy already had hate for me for what I did."

"For what we did," Marcus clarified.

"What can we do to get rid of this thing?" Dumbledore asked.

"I need to find a spell that Hermione can work and hopefully that will get rid of James once and for all."

Dumbledore sighed. His life had turned into a living nightmare.

"Very well," Dumbledore said. "But make sure that Harry doesn't know that you're doing this."

"As you wish," Severus said.

And all three of them left.

Hermione was informed about what the three had found when Severus had joined her for lunch the next morning. She told him that she would start on it right away and that she wouldn't stop until she was able to cast it perfectly.

"Are you sure it won't affect the babies?" he asked.

"I hope not," Hermione said.

After lunch she joined Sheek who had found the spell in one of his ancient books that he kept in the room that Dumbledore had given him. He explained that this was a powerful spell and that she might have problems with it.

"I doubt it," Hermione said. "I brewed the Polyjuice Potion in my second year. This will be no problem."

"I hope not."

"And this will bring our Harry back," Remus said when Hermione told him about the spell and who was controlling Harry.

"Yes," Hermione said. "However, he warned me that it was a powerful spell and that I might have problems with it."

He looked at her.

"And will you?"

"No," Hermione answered at once.

Remus had a bad feeling that if she didn't have problems with it, that there would be an undermining problem. He said a silent prayer that it wouldn't hurt his children.

"I'm glad that you could come," said the Healer.

Dumbledore had gotten a message from St. Mungo and had arrived as fast as he could. He sat down and waited.

"So what's wrong?" he asked.

"Well, um, how should I put this," the Healer said. "Your wife isn't expecting one child, as I thought, but she's expecting many. I had her in last month and I noticed this, but I wanted to talk to my husband who works with mothers that are having multiple babies. He confirmed that this is true."

Dumbledore looked lost and confused.

"Headmaster, your having the maximum that a mother can have, six," she told him.

Dumbledore passed out.

"So how is Hermione doing with the spell?" Severus asked.

"Well," Remus answered, sighing and looking worried.

Severus picked up on that.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm worried about Hermione," Remus said. "Ever since she got this position she has been doing all this work. Now she has to work a powerful spell that might harm her and the babies."

Severus became thoughtful.

"I understand, but we have to trust her that she can do this."

Remus looked at him.

"Do you think that she can?"

"I know she can," Severus said. "And I'll be there to make sure that nothing happens to her."

"Thanks."

"No problem," Severus answered.
