"Vol de mort" means "robbery of death" in French. There was a dark wizard in
medieval times named Voldermortist. In another language, Voldermortist means
"Lord of Evil" or "Dark Lord". Legend has it that Voldermortist once tried to
destroy Merlin before the time of King Arthur (Mr. Weasley?), by bewitching good
people, and simply bribing those who already were evil. Legend has it that
Merlin destroyed Voldermortist by using a simple paralyzing charm (full body
bind?), fed him to the many-headed-beast (Fluffy?) of the lake, the Lady of the
Lake's pet (Giant Squid?), freed the bewitched people, and destroyed the evil
men. That was maybe twelve, thirteen years before Arthur (how long it was from
Voldemort's destruction until Harry started Hogwarts).
