Order Only: Possible leads
Fred, George:
Remus, Dora and I spent most of the day combing through the rest of the library (well, as much as Bea would let us). We found two references that may give us a clue.
The first is in Grimoire Germanicus, which is rare, but not impossible Carrow's got a copy. Roughly translated it's a spell meant to kill one's lover at the moment the caster commits suicide. Why anyone would want such a spell I can't imagine, but then, it is a German grimoire. Anyway, it's the best we've found and most likely thing Carrow could have twisted to the purpose he indicated. I'm copying the original Latin/German pidgin as well as the best two translations we could work out.
The second is in the Saurian Compenidium, which makes this unlikely as it's intended as a manual on dragon-keeping. But nonetheless there it is: 'A Spell to Boile the Blude." I've copied that one out for you as well.
