Augusta Longbottom

***Ignore the Dementor***

* Algernon Longbottom (brother)

**Augusta Longbottom** is a canonical pure-blood witch; she is the mother of Frank Longbottom and grandmother (and legal guardian) of Neville Longbottom. During the Second Wizarding War, auror John Dawlish sought to take her hostage in order to force Neville to cooperate with the Death Eaters controlling Hogwarts, but she fought back, putting him in St Mungo's, and went on the run. She re-emerged during the Battle of Hogwarts, where she sealed the secret passage from the Hog's Head and took part in the fighting.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Augusta Longbottom** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Given that her son Frank was an auror in July 1980, he must have graduated Hogwarts in 1977 at the latest, and thus been born in or before 1958/59; if Augusta had graduated before he was born – which seems likely – she in turn must have been born before September 1940.

While many stories treat Neville's great-uncle Algie as a brother of Augusta's, a family tree published on Pottermore shows him to actually be a Longbottom (and thus rather her brother-in-law).

## Non-canonical information

### Minor appearances

* In *The Family Clock* she mentions a brother Algy (presumably her brother-in-law; see under *Canonical information* above), who tutored the son of an apothecary in Arithmancy in exchange for a discount on potions ingredients.

* In *Harry Potter: Neko's Mate*, she is a member of the Hogwarts Board of Governors; her full name and title is said to be Augusta Francesca Longbottom, Regent Lady of the Ancient and Most Noble House of Longbottom, and she is the sister of Algernon Croaker, the Head of the Unspeakables.

* In *Ignore the Dementor*, she and the rest of the family are high elves masquerading as humans, and they have an inherited seat on the Wizengamot that is held by Augusta until Neville can take it in 1998. Interestingly, her brother is named Algernon Longbottom, suggesting that either she married a cousin of some degree, her husband took her name, she never married or she returned to using her maiden name after becoming a widow or divorcee.

Caelum's medicinal oil

In *The Prisoner*, an unnamed medicinal oil is used to treat Caelum Malfoy when he catches a respiratory infection; when massaged into his chest and back, it "helps open up his lungs so he can breathe better". It gives off a strong smell, containing both eucalyptus, mint, lavender and rosemary, and is prepared by Severus Snape.
23 October

This page lists events known or believed to have occurred on the **23 October**.

## Canonical plot

Main article: **23 October** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
* 1991: The Gryffindor first-years have an Astronomy class at midnight, on the top of the Astronomy Tower.
* 1994: The notification of the date of the student arrivals from the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and the Durmstrang Institute is posted.

Arwen Wyllit

**Arwen Wyllit** is a non-canonical witch mentioned in The Girl Who Loved; she is an assistant at Madam Malkin's interviewed by the Daily Prophet after Harry (in his Heather Snape form) stopped a dementor attack on Diagon Alley in August of 1996. No personal details are given, but from the context it is clear that she isn't muggle-born.

## Etymology

The name *Arwen* is taken from the mythos of Tolkien, where it is worn by the elven lord Elrond's daughter, who falls in love with the mortal Aragorn. Arwen Wyllit may have been named after this character, or it may be that names of this kind have an older history in Magical Britain (see Melian Greengrass).

Bonnet estate

The **Bonnet estate** is a non-canonical manor house (also referred to as a *chateau*) in France mentioned in *The Code*; after the suicide of Mirabelle Bonnet's father in or around 1985 it was abandoned, but in early 1997 she lets Voldemort use it for Death Eater meetings. It has at least two wings, since the death eaters leave one unfurnished in order to have a place to train their recruits in the use of torture; this is done in a former ballroom with "faded and crumbling mosaic on the ceiling".

The wing that is furnished includes a parlor and a kitchen on the ground floor, as well as several other rooms that "all spilled into each other" with notably tight hallways. On the second floor, there is a sitting room to the right of the "creaking, half-dilapidated stairs", and a hallway with a few family portraits (stripped of their frames) and torn wallpapers that used to show "a classic French blue floral design". The hallway has doors to several large bedrooms, ending with the one once used by Mirabelle; this has faded pink wallpaper and still holds "the broken remains of a child’s wardrobe and a few scattered pieces of toys".

Albus Xenophilius Potter

**"Point me!"**

This article is about **the fairy-dementor son of Harry and Luna**. You may be looking for **somebody else named *Albus* or *Xenophilius***.

## Physical description

### Distinguishing marks

Fairy wings, can turn invisible and pass through walls

## Relationship information

### Relatives

* Harry Potter (father)
* Luna Lovegood (mother)
* Lily Selene Potter (older sister)
* †James Potter (paternal grandfather)
* †Lily Potter née Evans (paternal grandmother)
* Xenophilius Lovegood (maternal (step-)grandfather)
* †Selene Lovegood (maternal grandmother) (likely)

## Affiliation

### School

Hogwarts

**Albus Xenophilius Potter** is a contra-canonical fairy-dementor wizard mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; he is the son of Harry Potter (turned dementor) and Luna Lovegood (born fairy), and has the wings of a fairy while speaking the language of dementors and being able to turn invisible and pass though walls.

Since Harry and Luna married "a couple years after she graduated" in 1999, and "eventually" had children, it seems likely that his older sister Lily wasn't born until at least the second half of the 2000s, and Albus in the final years of that decade or perhaps the early 2010s; by the time they started Hogwarts, both Dumbledore and, after him, McGonagall had retired from the post as headmaster and been succeeded by Snape. As a student he presumably was a member of the Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures.

His sister's middle name *Selene* may be taken as an indication that in this story, that was the name of Luna's mother; canonically, it is rather Pandora, but since this was never mentioned in the books or the films, it is not very well known and even those who do know of it do not always use it.

Adrien Wronski

**Adrien Wronski** is a contra-canonical name used in *The Code* for the inventor of the Wronski feint, whose canonical name is Josef Wronski. (Strictly speaking Adrien is not said to have *invented* it but to have popularized the maneuver, until then known as *sweeping the pitch*, during the 1925 Quidditch World Cup, in particular through his use of it against Wilfred Walkins; canonically, when Josef invented it is not known, although the 1920s does seem likely, and the World Cup was played in 1926 rather than 1925.) Adrien's nationality is not mentioned, but he may be Polish like Josef is. An international Quidditch player active in 1925 can be expected to have been born in the 1890s or 1900s, making it likely (but not confirmed) that he was not still alive in 1996.

Anti-copying charm

A non-canonical **anti-copying charm** is mentioned in *The Power of Seven*, which can be placed on books to make them impossible to copy through magic. It is not clear if the charm counters duplication of the book itself (in which case it would likely work on other objects as well) or of the text as such, nor if it would be possible to transcribe the text by non-magical means.
Bonnet family

The **Bonnet family** is a non-canonical French wizarding family mentioned in *The Code*; the father was a business associate of Lucius Malfoy and supported Voldemort during the First Wizarding War, but around 1985 lost his wealth due to bad investments and committed suicide, and in 1996/97 his daughter Mirabelle sought to join the Death Eaters. In return for Voldemort's promise to see to her mother and brother after her death and to "restore the name Bonnet to its former glory", she agreed to be the human sacrifice needed to power a ritual where Voldemort reclaimed the horcrux hidden in Nagini.

## Family members

* Mirabelle Bonnet

Augusta Longbottom's husband

**Augusta Longbottom's husband** is a canonical historical pure-blood wizard whose name has not yet been revealed; he was the brother of Algie Longbottom, the father of Frank Longbottom and the paternal grandfather of Neville Longbottom. After Bellatrix Lestrange and other death eaters in the fall of 1981 captured Frank and his wife Alice and tortured them until they went insane, he and Augusta took it upon themselves to raise Neville; however, sometime before 1995 he passed away (in front of Neville, who thenceforth was able to see thestrals), leaving Augusta a widow.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Frank Longbottom's father** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
In a source of low but non-zero canonicity, Neville mentions that in 1947, his grandfather put a fanged gerbil in Augusta's handbag as a prank; presumably, this refers to her husband (whether or not they were yet married) rather than the father of her daughter-in-law-to-be.

Given that Frank Longbottom was an auror in July 1980, he must have graduated Hogwarts in 1977 at the latest, and thus been born in or before 1958/59; if his father had graduated before he was born – which seems likely – he in turn must have been born before September 1940.

While many fanfic writers have taken Neville's "great-uncle Algie" to refer to a brother of Augusta's, a family tree of the Longbottom family presented on Pottermore showed that he was in fact the brother of her husband. However, since Neville is said to have "great-uncles and great-aunts" (note the plural forms), either or both may well have other siblings as well – unless the others are on his mother's side, of course.

## Non-canonical information

### Minor appearances

* In *Ignore the Dementor*, it is said that the Longbottom family are secretly high elves masquerading as humans, and that they have an inherited seat on the Wizengamot, which in 1995 is held by Augusta but presumably had been held by her husband before he died.

Main article: **1977** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
* Sirius Black, having run away from home in the previous year, inherits enough money from his uncle Alphard to get his own place. (He was seventeen at the time, so sometime between 3 November 1976 and 2 November 1977.)
* James Potter and Sirius Black, riding on Sirius' motorbike, are chased by two muggle police men, Fisher and Anderson, as well as three Death Eaters riding broomsticks. However, they lift the police car with magic, in such a way that the three Death Eaters crash into it, and manage to escape in the ensuing confusion. (Dating uncertain, but set about three years before the birth of Harry.)

Borgin and Burkes

**Borgin and Burkes** is a canonical antique shop at 13B Knockturn Alley, specializing in "*objects with unusual and powerful properties*"; it has a shady reputation due to the owners' unscrupulous greed and willingness to trade in dark or otherwise dangerous articles.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Borgin and Burkes** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Established in 1863, the shop is quite large, dusty, and dimly lit, with a large stone fireplace connected to the Floo network.

Tom Riddle worked here after graduation, until he had found Salazar Slytherin's locket and Helga Hufflepuff's cup and promptly disappeared.

This is where Draco Malfoy bought the cursed necklace he tried to kill Dumbledore with, and where he found the other vanishing cabinet, paired with the one in Hogwarts, that he eventually used to let death eaters enter the school.

## Non-canonical information

* In *Ignore the Dementor*, it is shown to be protected against entry by house-elves and apparition.
Billy Jones

**Billy Jones** is a non-canonical young wizard mentioned in The Family Clock; he is a friend of Loren Price-Fortescue. During Halloween 1995, their friends group dressed up as the English National Quidditch team and they both wanted to be Ian Tickes, but eventually Billy settled for Akintunde Ejiofor on the grounds that they looked more alike.

He is presumably more or less of age with Loren, meaning he was born in either 1988/89, 1989/90 or 1990/91. If his resemblance to Akintunde Ejiofor is a matter of skin tone (which seems likely, but not necessarily the case) he may be related to Gwenog Jones, who was born in 1968 and so is old enough to be his mother (although an aunt is probably more likely).
1985/86

Aceline Hesop's mother

**Aceline Hesop's mother** is a non-canonical witch and veela mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; in her youth she was a student at Hogwarts and a member of the Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures. She was presumably married by the time she had her daughter Aceline in 1983/84; her husband – also a veela, and presumably her mate – seems not to have studied at Hogwarts, which likely means that he was not from Britain or Ireland.

## Physical appearance

Being a veela, she likely had blonde hair and pale skin.
Beauregard Lyon

**Beauregard Lyon** is a non-canonical American wizard and watchmaker mentioned in The Family Clock; he works at Lyon et Fils in New Orleans, and invented the floating compass clock face for flying watches. He is the uncle of Gillian Lyon and the brother-in-law of Gudule Lyon.

## Physical appearance

In 1996, Beauregard is an older man described as tall and round-bellied.

Eleanor Greengrass

**"Point me!"**

This article is about **the mother of Daphne Greengrass**. You may be looking for **somebody else named *Eleanor***.

## Relationship information

### Relatives

* Cygnus Greengrass (husband)
* Daphne Greengrass (daughter)
* Astoria Greengrass (daughter)
* Charlotte and Elizabeth Greengrass (twin daughters)

### Romances

* Cygnus Greengrass (husband)

**Lady Eleanor Greengrass** is the name used in *A Godfather's Promise* for the mother of Daphne and Astoria Greengrass; she is the wife of Lord Cygnus Greengrass, with whom she also has the younger twin daughters Charlotte and Elizabeth. Complications at their birth have made her health decline and keep her from making another try at a male heir, but she claims to be "as healthy as I've ever been" and waves aside the "fuss" the healers make.

When she met Cygnus – at least twenty-one years before 1995 – she was working at Madam Malkin's, coming (like he did) from a pure-blood family without much in terms of money. She accepted his courtship, they married within a year and worked together to recoup the family fortune his late father had squandered; already when they married, he had acquired Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment and an apothecary, and by the time she had Daphne they had more or less reached that goal.

Given that she had a daughter in 1979/80 and still hadn't gone through menopause in the early 1990s, she was likely born in the 1950s like her husband.

## Personality

Daphne can't understand how her parents are so devoted to each other, and yet stay so formal in their interactions with one another.

Aislinn Connolly

**Aislinn Connolly** is the name used in The Prisoner for the mother of Luna Lovegood (who canonically was named Pandora, maiden name not revealed, although this was not known when the story was published). She is said to have been a pure-blood sorted into Slytherin, and to have turned down Voldemort's offer to join him on the basis of being "too busy with her research", an excuse he seems to have accepted.

She used to take care of the neighbours' children a lot, but is said to have died "almost eight years ago" in January 1998, i.e. early 1990. (Given that Luna canonically was nine when her mother died, and the author places her birthday on the 12 March, the death probably occurred in March or April.)

## Physical appearance

Aislinn is described as tall (although this may be a misremembrance, since it is from a five-year-old's perspective) with reddish-blonde hair.

## Trivia

* On Luna's birthday parties, she used to make balloon animals and enchant them to move (compare Lifelike Moving Balloon Animals) and plan a lot of games and other fun things.

1995/96 school year

The **1995/96 school year** is covered in canon by ***Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix***; see also 1995-1996 school year at the *Harry Potter Wiki*, as well as 1995/96, 1995 and 1996.

## Hogwarts staff

### Prefects

The male seventh-year prefect for Ravenclaw may have been Marcus Turner. It is possible (although not likely) that the corresponding post for Hufflepuff was left empty after the death of Cedric Diggory the previous year, if the position is only given out to fifth-years.

In a source of limited (but non-zero) canonicity, no less than 21(!) further male prefects active during 1993/94 have been named, beyond the canonical Cedric Diggory, Marcus Turner and Percy Weasley; at most nine of them can be considered canonical, and there is no way to determine which unless more data is released. However, if any of them are considered canonical, some of them may have been seventh-year prefects this year as well.

## Students

### In Hogwarts

\*Far too many people have been claimed to be prefects during the 1993/94 school year, so some of the students of unknown year and unknown house marked (6-7) above may perhaps be younger than that.

\*\*A surprisingly high number of people with Japanese names could be seen on the Marauders' Map during the 1993/94 school year. While most other categories of foreign names present can be explained by historical movements within the British Empire and/or Commonwealth, these cannot; if perhaps there was an (otherwise unannounced) exchange program with Mahoutokoro, or some other more temporary reason for them to be there, they may not have been present in other years.

### In other schools

**Note:** In the following table, years are given as "Hogwarts equivalent", i e the year they would have been in had they gone to Hogwarts. Other schools may have different matriculation and/or graduation ages, so the actual designations could be different. Also, schools outside of Britain would not necessarily use the same "cut-off date" (1 September) to decide which year a student belongs to.

As there are so very few canonical students in other schools, they are written in **bold** rather than on their own row.

Broderick Bode

**Broderick Bode** is a canonical wizard and Unspeakable. In 1995, under the influence of the Imperius curse, he tried to access the prophecy concerning the defeat of Voldemort, but was badly hurt by the defensive spells. He was brought to the Spell Damage Ward of St Mungo's, where he was murdered by Death eaters in January of 1996.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Broderick Bode** at the *Harry Potter Wiki*

He is said to have been 49 years old at his death, so was likely born in 1946 (or possibly early January 1947).

1980s

The **1980s** is the decade 1980-1989. This page lists events known or likely to have occurred during these years, but where the exact year cannot be stated with certainty.

## Births

* Charlotte and Elizabeth Greengrass: likely in the second half of the decade (seem around four to eight years old in the summer of 1995)
* Mary Nooke: before Sep 1984 (was in Hogwarts during and/or before the 1995/96 school year), and likely after Aug 1979 (Harry's year or younger)

Acromantula venom

**Acromantula venom** is a canonical potion ingredient extracted from the pincers of, primarily, recently dead acromantulas (getting it from a live specimen would be almost impossible due to the species' violent nature). The toxic effect of the venom on humans seems non-fatal and/or slow, at least in small doses.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Acromantula venom** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
Being fairly rare, acromantula venom may cost up to a hundred galleons a pint on the open market. It is used to brew Armadillo Bile Mixture and Potion of Invisibility. Sources of low (but non-zero) canonicity depict it variously as either green or black in colour.

Harry was bitten by an acromantula during the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament, with no obvious effect from the venom during the rest of the Task or the following encounter with Voldemort; while the wound was painful and may have been exacerbated by the presence of venom, it was not incapacitating. It was healed by Phoenix tears during Harry's debriefing with Dumbledore after the initial questioning of Barty Crouch Jr, but that may well have been an hour, perhaps even two, after the bite.

## Non-canonical information

* Despite the venom's rarity and seemingly low effect on humans, in *A Godfather's Promise* an Antidote to acromantula venom is taught in fourth-year Potions class.

Algernon Longbottom (Augusta's brother)

**Algernon Longbottom** is a non-canonical wizard mentioned in *Ignore the Dementor*; he is the brother of Augusta Longbottom and thus presumably intended to be Neville's great-uncle Algie – and the fact that he is also named *Longbottom* suggests some interesting possibilities for Augusta (possibly influenced by the fact that in this story, the Longbottom family are secretly high elves masquerading as humans). She may have simply married a cousin of some degree, so that her maiden name was the same as her married name – or, even simpler, she may not have married at all. Further, her husband may have taken her name – Augusta holds an inherited seat on the Wizengamot – or she (and Frank with her) may have returned to using her maiden name after becoming a widow or divorcee.

Given that Augusta seems to have been born in 1940 at the latest (her son Frank must have been born before Sep 1959, indicating that Augusta most likely graduated Hogwarts in 1958 or earlier), Algernon was probably born in the 1930s or 1940s, although the 1920s can not be ruled out. In 1996, Algernon and Augusta lived together in Longbottom Manor, seemingly alone except for Neville (who of course spent most of the year at Hogwarts); no mention is made of Enid – canonically great-uncle Algie's wife, although in this setting a sister would also be possible – suggesting that he may be a widower. During the summer (it's said to be late June but also some time after the end of the term, which in canon was in early July) they were attacked by Voldemort and fairly quickly subdued; however, Harry and his friends in the Hogwarts Society of Magical Creatures counterattacked and Algernon was killed during the fighting.

Bill Weasley

**William Arthur "Bill" Weasley** is a canonical pure-blood wizard and curse-breaker; he is the oldest child of Arthur and Molly Weasley, and the older brother of Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny Weasley. In 1997 he married Fleur Delacour, with whom he had three children: Victoire, Dominique and Louis.

### Minor appearances

* In The Family Clock he is said to be allergic to chocolate, getting a stomachache if he eats more than a small amount. He is, however, very fond of peppermints.
Bryant Stevick

**Bryant Stevick** is a non-canonical half-blood wizard mentioned in *The Code*, where he is the (contra-canonical) 1996/97 D.A.D.A. professor, selected by the Ministry of Magic.

Bryant's grandmother, Patricia Hayworth, came from an old pure-blood family who had been steadily losing their wealth for about a century; she tried to turn their fortune around by marrying a rich muggle-born, but kept spending more money than was made, ultimately leaving the Stevicks as a family of nobodies. Bryant, however, seeks "the good standing that had once been lost to him" and can often be seen at various charity concerts and benefits sponsored by old pure-blood families. While he is said to not have shown any pure-blood supremacy leanings when he was a Hogwarts student, and even had close muggle-born friends, by 1996/97 he has come to support Voldemort's agenda in the hope that the latter will return his family's "ancestral riches"; however, he also claims that Voldemort has "shut away" parts of his mind (possibly with the Fidelius Charm), and if this is true it could be the case that his conversion was not voluntary. Nothing is said of when he attended Hogwarts, nor of which House he belonged to.

## Contra-canonical information

In this story, the Ministry did not learn from the Umbridge fiasco and so appoints a D.A.D.A. professor also for the 1996/97 school year. Their chosen man, Bryant Stevick, appears to treat the job as any other office assignment and shows neither interest in nor concern for the students as anything but data points. In the classroom, he combines some of Umbridge's worst aspects with those of Binns in that he refuses to teach practical spell-casting "without a firm foundation in magical theory", and the theoretical part consists of him reading aloud from the text book "word for word, in a bland, monotonous tone of voice".

During the spring term, he studies the wards holding various dark spirits locked up in the Hogwarts basement and eventually releases them to attack both students and staff, planning to use the chaos to get his hands on Tom Riddle's Special Award for Services to the School trophy, which in this story is a horcrux. However, his activities had been noticed and the trophy replaced by a copy, in order to catch him in the act. (It is commented upon that he managed to circumvent alarm wards on the display cabinet holding the trophy in a way that normally takes more than one person, which combined with the nearby presence of Claire Jameson suggests that he had help, but the details of this are not known.) He may or may not have been the instigator of the Fall-term Great Vampire Bat attack and the mid-March Fae-flame arson as well.

Heliopath

**Heliopaths** is a canonical Lunacy: a type of fire spirits that gallop and burn anything in their path. During the 1995/96 school year, Luna claimed that the then Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge controlled an army of heliopaths; she also claimed that there are many eyewitness accounts that give evidence of their existence.

## Canonical information

Main article: **Heliopath** at *The Harry Potter Wiki*
The word *heliopath* appears to be derived from Greek *hēlios*, 'sun', and the suffix -path from Greek *-pathēs*, '-sufferer', combined to form a word for one who either suffers from (compare *sociopath*) or possibly practices a therapy based on (compare *osteopath*) the sun. This etymology is atypical, compared to other Lunacies, strengthening the claim that this is a more widely spread concept.

## Non-canonical information

* In *All the Dementors of Azkaban*, it is said that, according to Luna, Minister Fudge's army of heliopaths "are supposed to follow anyone who goes into Knockturn Alley".

* In *The Girl Who Loved* there is mention of a band called The Heliopaths, further supporting the idea that this was not invented by the Lovegoods.

Hogwarts drama room

The **Hogwarts drama room** is a non-canonical room in Hogwarts Castle mentioned in *The Code*; during the 1996/97 Christmas break, Claire Jameson organized a night of Christmas carols there. It is not described, but presumably has a scene and possibly some permanent enchantments improving lighting and acoustics.
Gudule Lyon

**Gudule Lyon** is a non-canonical American witch mentioned in The Family Clock; she is the mother of Gillian Lyon and sister-in-law to Beauregard Lyon. Her father is thought to have been a Weasley, but of an American branch.

She is the chief book reviewer for "the second-largest newspaper in America" (wizarding newspaper, that is, presumably); in October 1996, after receiving Charlie Weasley's book The Dragons of Tirgoviste from an anonymous sender and devouring it over night, she published a five-star review raising it to the sky, resulting in the largest royalty check he had ever received. (Incidentally, her daughter tells the story quite differently; according to her, when the book became popular Gudule already had it in a British hardcover edition, but sent her a paperback copy. But perhaps the hardcover is the review copy, and Gillian simply didn't pick up on her mother's part in creating the fad.)

Her age is not mentioned, but her daughter is an adult in 1996 so she is likely to be in her fifties or older.

Dispersum

**Dispersum** is a non-canonical spell mentioned in *Isolation*; when Harry, Ron, Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott are about to start fighting, Hermione uses it to force them apart and hold them immobile against the wall in the four upper corners of the room. If used outside it would presumably have pushed them further apart instead of holding them against the wall, and not necessarily have lifted them off the ground.

## Etymology

The Latin word *dispersum* can be two different forms of the verb *dispergo* "to distibute, spread out, disperse": the undeclinable supine, meaning "in order to...", or the adjective-like neuter passive perfect participle, (being) distributed etc. Neither is obvious as a source (nor really grammatically correct on its own), but the latter may perhaps be more likely ("Be dispersed!").
