"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>Professors McGonagall, Sprout, Flitwick, and Snape, Mr. and Mrs.
Weasley were having a meeting in the office of headmaster Dumbledore. Everyone
was looking somber and depressed.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“Is the source of this information to be trusted, Albus?”
professor McGonagall asked.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>Albus Dumbledore looked briefly to Snape, before he addressed
McGonagall. “I am afraid this information is indeed correct, Minerva.
It appears that they were attacked in the last six hours.”
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>The headmaster looked up at the door, as if he detected
something. “Ah, here is our new minister.” Somebody was knocking. “Come in,
Madame Bones.”
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>The door opened and the newly appointed Deputy Minister for Magic
entered. Madame Bones looked briefly to the people already inside. Albus
Dumbledore rose as she entered and offered her the chair he had just vacated.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>With a casual flick of a finger, he conjured another just like
it and sat back down.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“Let’s begin”, she said.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>Dumbledore looked grave and started his report. “Voldemort or
one of his lieutenants has cast a truly ancient curse on Harry. We believe that
it is the Trigonum Morbus curse. The curse
was created sometime during the late predynastic period in
"Courier New"'> some five thousand years ago. This was the period before the
pyramids and pharaohs were built to bind the sons and daughters of various
tribes together. The closest translation of the Trigonum Morbus would be the ‘Triangle
Disease’.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>As far as we can tell, references to the curse were found in the
central burial vault of one of the very oldest tombs by a Gringotts Curse
Breaker about a month ago. I have spoken with Bill Weasley and he believes that
Voldemort found out about the curse from one of the Egyptologists whom he had
suborned and decided to cast the curse immediately and watch the results from
afar. However, the tomb from which the information came was not complete, and
fortunately did not depict all of the information known about the curse at that
time. Voldemort cast the curse nevertheless, and now we have a problem we need
to cope with quickly.”
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>Everyone started to talk, some in panic, some in indignation,
and some of them confused. The potions master Severus Snape did not react at
all… he simply looked with distaste at all the people in the office.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“What does that mean, headmaster? I thought that Harry Potter is
hidden and protected during the summer months and that nothing and nobody can
hurt the boy?” Madame Bones asked with a loud voice.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“You are correct, Amelia. For most purposes, no one and nothing
can harm the boy in that location during the summer months. This curse is the
exception. Nothing can be shielded from its effects.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'> Amelia asked, somewhat irritated.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“Yes, of course, Deputy Minister. Trigonum Morbus is, in fact, a curse, but it acts more like an
advanced binding spell, so its not perceive by the magical shields that ward
Harry during the summer as a weapon or threat. This spell will bind itself to
the victim, wherever he or she is residing. The victim needs to be a virgin and
can only be a male under sixteen years old.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>First, the victim, after it has been hit, has 48 hours to live.
Second, when the curse is cast, it will duplicate itself to two other victims
with the same effects … they also have 48 hours to live. When the 48 hours are
over, the victims will die when their magical cores explode.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>And before you ask who the other two victims are, we have our
suspicions, but we don’t know for sure at the moment.”
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“Who do you suspect the other two victims are then?” Minerva
McGonagall asked.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“I’m pretty sure, based on all observations, that it’s Ms.
Granger and Ms. Weasley.” Everyone in the office was quiet for several seconds.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“Are you sure that my girl is one of the victims, Albus? She is
our only daughter…” Mr. Weasley whispered.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>The Headmaster could not bring himself look the frightened
father – his former pupil – eye to eye. “We suspect this, Arthur. Today we’ll
know for sure. “
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“That means that three people will die within two days?”
professor Flitwick said horrorstruck.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>Albus Dumbledore looked to Molly and Arthur Weasley. “Not necessarily”,
he answered.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>Molly Weasley looked tensely to the headmaster. “Albus, in
Merlin’s name, don’t keep us in suspense and tell us straight what our chances
are.”
"Courier New"'>
A sad smile appeared on the face of Dumbledore.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“Yes, of course, Molly. As was said before, the spell acts like an
advanced binding spell. It hits the victim and splits into two other curses,
which will hit two others. Trigonum
Morbus chooses the two additional victims from the mind of the first one…
the other two are people the original cares about most. Those, in my opinion,
would be Ms. Granger and Ms. Weasley. Remember that Harry and Ginerva were very
close at the end of last year. After Sirius’ death, Harry was despondent and
Ginerva helped him through that period. However, I believe that Harry’s
friendship and love for Hermione is equally as strong. They are and pretty much
always have been inseparable and I am quite sure that Harry or Hermione would
sacrifice himself or herself for the other.
There have been so many occasions when Harry or Hermione has been
overheard finishing a sentence for the other and their touches go beyond the
usual boarders or limits of platonic friendships. It seems that the only two
people who are not aware of the love that has been growing between them are
Harry and Hermione.”
despondently into the soft chair by his desk.
“So, Molly, I’m quite certain the two ladies in question will be Ginerva
and Hermione.”
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>Again, there was a heavy silence in the office.
while Harry had obvious love and affection for Ginny, it was Hermione who knew
everything about Harry and was more intimately involved in his quest to destroy
the Horcruxes than anyone else, save Ron Weasley.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>Albus Dumbledore looked around, and he saw that Molly Weasley
was preparing herself for a rant. Before it was too late and to avoid a
lighting storm to appear in his office, he continued hastily.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“I am not finished yet. There is a cure to neutralize the
effects of the curse. The cure is extreme, but it works. When it has been
applied, Trigonum Morbus cannot be
cast on any of the victims again – but it doesn’t need to be, because the cure
is permanent as well. “
"Courier New"'>
Merlin’s name, Albus… What is the cure and when are you applying it? You are
talking about our daughter and Harry here … and Hermione. What are you waiting
for?”
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“I cannot tell you the cure before we know for sure that
Hermione, Ginevra, and Harry are the victims. I took the liberty of asking
Mad-Eye to collect them and bring them here. I expect they’ll be arriving any
moment now. Kingsley Shacklebolt is
collecting the parents of Ms. Granger and they will be here within the hour, I
hope.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>We will wait until then.”
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>After twenty torturous minutes, the headmaster looked up. “There
they are.”
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>The door swung open and Alastor Moody entered the office, his
magical eye swirling around. He was followed by Harry Potter, Hermione Granger,
and Ginny Weasley. The headmaster conjured three extra chairs and asked the
three younglings to take a seat and to wait. Explanations would come later.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“Ginny, Hermione, Harry … I want to cast a special medical
detection spell on all of you, which will not harm or hurt you. I will explain
everything afterward. Is that alright with you all?”
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>Harry shrugged his shoulders… who cares? He thought. Hermione looked thoughtful for a moment,
then shrugged her shoulders as well… what can she do about it… The headmaster
didn’t seem to be in the mood to answer questions. Ginny looked first to
Hermione, then Harry and shrugged her shoulders as if to say… “
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>The headmaster stood, walked to stand in front of the three, and
cast his spell. First on Harry… a narrow silver beam of light struck him … and
Harry briefly flashed red. Harry did not feel anything different … it indeed
did not hurt.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>The headmaster gave no indication that the result was satisfying
or not. He turned to Ginny and repeated the spell. Ginny also flashed red
briefly. Then he turned to Hermione, and repeated the process again with the
same result.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>With a sigh, the headmaster returned to his chair.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“Harry, Ginny, and Hermione, can you be so kind to go to the
Gryffindor tower and wait for us there? When we are finished here, we will call
you”, the headmaster tiredly asked them to leave. Harry stood up, took the
hands of the girls, and moved to the door. Near the door, they were intercepted
by a worried Mrs. Weasley; she enveloped them with the Weasley hug.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“Molly, please?” the headmaster asked. Molly Weasley released
them and they disappeared hurriedly out of the door towards the Gryffindor
tower.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“We will wait for the Grangers to appear.” The headmaster said
to the room.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>Almost thirty minutes passed - a long and tense wait for
everyone - until Kingsley Shacklebolt showed up at the door of the headmaster’s
office. “Albus, the parents of Ms.
Granger are not in the country. They left for a dentists’ conference in
they will be back in four days. Shall I bring them in when they arrive at the
airport?”
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>Dumbledore thought about this development. “No Kingsley. Go to
fast as you can. Use the floo connection to the
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>Kingsley acknowledged the orders and left the office, shortly
nodding to the minister. Molly Weasley stood up immediately. “And now you will
tell us the full picture, Albus. Because when you don’t …”
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>Albus Dumbledore stood up and addressed them all.
right; all three of them are infected with the curse. There is indeed a cure,
but it needs to be applied within 24 hours after impact, otherwise it is too
late.”
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“What is the cure Albus, and why are you hesitating to tell us
about it?” Arthur asked.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“Because we are not talking about a potion or anything medical,
we are talking about creating a strong binding between the three of them,”
Dumbledore answered.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“Tell us, Albus,” hissed Molly.
"Courier New"'>
"Courier New"'>“Harry needs to bind himself to the girls and impregnate them
within twenty-four hours after impact of the curse.” Dumbledore reached into
his robes, extracted a very odd pocket watch, and looked at it for a moment. “They
have exactly eighteen hours and thirty two minutes left to do that.”
mouse walking in the office. Severus
Snape started to laugh. He continued to laugh and could not stop himself. This
was so funny; now the Great and Good Pussy of
was wondering what would come next. The
Dark Lord was going to enjoy his first laugh in some time when I tell him this
news, Snape thought for sure.
