"It probably can. I have absolute faith that someone, somewhere will figure this whole thing out and we'll all be okay." He said with a hopeful smile.
Stephen shrugged, "We could... try it I guess. I mean, Slughorn had managed to isolate the disease, that how I got it to begin with, his sad, sick little experiment. If I could figure out how he did it, I might be able to try and infect myself again.... but I'm not sure what would happen."
"There is something to be said about who its infecting," Stephen said slowly, "Everyone who has been infected so far as been a pureblood, with the exception of one girl, Demelza. Out of the six people infected naturally, five of them were pureblood, four of them were male and only one of them was both female and not pure. I'm not sure what it says, but it looks like a pattern, no?"
