** A/N cognitio est nobis impertiri: means ~impart to us the knowledge that is written~ in latin (according to google) **

**Disclaimer! I Do Not Own Hp. JKR does i am just dabbling in her charachters life.**

The next day, we all gathered again to read the next few chapters. We had no idea what a surprise we would get.

As we all sat and reached for the books, the fireplace flared to life, dropping everyone who had missed reading lately.

“What are you all doing here?” Ron asked his parents and siblings.

“Albus sent Fawkes with a message to floo here immediately. No other explanation. We are just as shocked as you are.” Molly told her youngest son.

“Maybe Albus will be able to shed some light on the situation.” Suggested Severus, as he waited for the silvery haired old man to make his entrance.

“Right on cue.” Severus mumbled.

In swept Albus in a twirl of hot-pink and orange starred lime green robes.

“Good evening, sit, sit. Now we have an order of business to discuss. I skimmed the last two books myself and realized just how important it would be to know all the information at once so no one jumped to any wrong conclusions.” Albus’ gaze lingered a fraction of a second longer than the rest on Severus before moving on. “I was able to come up with my own variation of the spell. It is fairly generic and non-specific though, so if you have anything with writing on it in this room, please place them in this sack and Fawkes will bring it back when we finish.”

Looking a bit bemused, everyone set about placing all school books and parchments with writing in the sack.

“Why are we doing this?” asked Ron as Fawkes flashed out in a blast of gold and red flames.

“Dear boy, just how fair would it be if all of you teens had your school books imprinted on your brain?” asked Albus kindly.

“Besides a blinding headache, I think it would be awesome. Is that how you do it ‘Mione?” teased Ron, earning a socking to his arm.

“Just kidding woman.” He groaned as Draco smirked, knowing how Ron’s arm was feeling from his own experience in third year.

“As I was saying, it would give you all an unfair advantage over the other students. Shall we?” Albus asked as everyone nodded in apprehension and excitement.

With a flourish of his wand, he began to chant, getting louder and louder each line.

“Cognitio est nobis impertiri, Cognitio est nobis impertiri, COGNITIO EST NOBIS IMPERTIRI!”

With a blinding flash of white, everything descended into darkness.

Flashes of things that were to come began to flash through the minds of all there. The information given to Harry about the Horcruxes, Draco’s strange behavior, the cave with the black lake, the poisonous green liquid stripping Albus of his sanity, claws of death reaching from the bottom of the lake. False locket in the bowl.

Albus held at wandpoint, defenceless. Albus’ body falling over the side of the Astronomy tower.

Harry chasing Severus and calling him a coward and a murderer.  Bill, disfigured, lying in a hospital bed. Fluer and Molly making up. Albus’ funeral and Harry breaking up with Ginny as they had gotten together that year.
