Aditus Mors

**Aditus Mors** is a very deadly illness that causes the victim's skin to go grey as a ghost, their eyes to turn blue and brown, and bleeding in random places. If a potion is not administered, the affected will die from internal bleeding in a coma-like state. Out of all historically known cases, Nathara Prince-Slytherin was the worst case in history.

## Known Victims

### Nathara Prince-Slytherin:

During Nathara's fifth year, she started to feel weakness; her magic kept fluxing out of control, she would get dizzy spells, and would sometimes go pale to the face. While she and Aurora were playing Gobstones in the Clocktower Courtyard, she broke into a harsh coughing fit that left her breathless. Aurora asked Nathara if she was alright, but before the latter could respond, Nathara got a dizzy spell so intense that she collapsed and fell unconscious.

When her mother tried to wake her up, Nathara's hair turned pale white, the color of the full moon. She opened her eyes to look at Severus, and they faded from emerald green to brown and blue before she fell unconscious again.

There was only one cure, and it was a potion. Eventually Aurora decided to preform one of the most complex healing spells in her book that Nathara had given her, awaking Nathara for about an hour before she fell unconscious again. After a few hours of crying over Nathara's cold and clammy body, Skyler came to the hospital wing she told Aurora her idea of creating an extremely complex potion. Although Aurora, Who told her it was dangerous, told her crush Neville Longbottom about this. Neville gathered ingredients from the Herbology Greenhouses while Aurora and Skyler began creating their potion. Aurora was very adept on this Potion making sure that everything was at the right scale, although Neville had accidentally brought Sugar Shrub leaves instead of Gurdyroot Stems, which the two did not realize. Eventually Aurora came to the thought of the dreaded Professor Umbridge and believed that Nathara was actually lucky.

Occasionally Aurora used the Cantatio medicus scriptor spell to keep Nathara up on the latest news. Since they couldn't cure her at the moment, Aurora decided that Nathara should be as comfortable as possible. Aurora kept visiting Nathara in the Hospital Wing; the poor girl was still unconscious and showed little to no signs of waking up. When she used the spell to tell Nathara about Umbridge, Nathara stared crying blood and broke into a coughing fit. Aurora immediately went to find Severus, who arrived with Marvolo hot on his heels. When they returned, Nathara's already pale skin had taken a greyish tinge, like a ghost, and blood started dribbling down her left cheek in a thin stream. Aurora looked for more Complex Healing spells due to the failure of her Cantatio Medicus Scriptor, she decided to use the Absorbing Charm to stop the unknown source of blood.

The blood soon stopped and Aurora decided to check on Skyler to see if the potion was working. In which it did, but then they realized that Neville grabbed a wrong ingredient. Because of this, they had to recreate the potion again. When they went to the Hospital Wing to check on Nathara, they saw her coughing violently with blood dribbling down her chin and blood stains on her blanket, hands, and the floor near her bed. Then, bloody tears started falling from her eyes as she gasped and wheezed in pain. Aurora, thinking quickly used her two healing spells and gave her the newly re-brewed potion. Nathara quickly drank it and her hair turned to its regular color, Although a few hours later Nathara vomited from side effects. A few days later, Aurora, Skyler, Severus, and Marvolo stood around Nathara's bed and watched as she regained consciousness. They smiled and watched as her eyes faded from brown and blue to her normal emerald green. She sat up in her bed and yawned before her eyes settled on her mom. The group of five immediately hugged with Severus thanking Skyler and Aurora for saving his daughter's life.
