15th December, 1990

"Hey, Maureena, Percy!" Audrey greeted as she sat beside Maureena in the middle of their date.

"Hey, Audrey. How did you find us?" Maureena asked. Percy smiled awkwardly. Audrey is Maureena's friend and even though she's very friendly, she's still not really his friend.

"Oh yeah! It's not really hard to find you two really, you always have your dates here." Audrey laughed. "Oh is that chocolate?"

"Audrey-" Maureena tried to tell her no, but Audrey took one already, sniffing it. "No."

"But I love chocolate! You made this, Ree?"

"Of course I did! Who else?" Audrey grabbed some more before standing up again.

"Well, time to leave you. Enjoy your date!" Audrey skipped her way out, meeting her friend Marcus.

"I got them," Audrey said to Marcus as she handed them. "You got the potion ready?"

"Yeah, give them to me." Marcus nodded. "Let's go to the potions class."

"I can't believe Penny would smuggle these for her." Audrey shook her head. "I hope you know what you're doing."

"Trust me, I don't have Quidditch on my head 24/7 like Wood." Marcus shook his head.

"You got them?" Oliver asked, waiting outside the class. Marcus nodded, showing them the chocolate. The three of them entered the class, good thing no one but Luis was there. Luis was in front of a cauldron filled with identifying potion.

The identifying potion will reveal all the potions or spells laced in something. Marcus took out his wand as he connected the potion with a quill Luis prepared earlier, a parchment scroll ready. Marcus threw in the chocolate to the cauldron, watching the potion turn colour from clear to white, indicating that the potion is processing through the chocolate. The quill floats and writes on the parchment before dropping.

"Does it mean that Percy's been drugged?"

"The potion changed colour to show that there's something inserted in and the potion is reading through what was inserted in," Marcus answered as he lifted the parchment to read it closer. "It seems so."

"What is it?" Audrey asked, reading through his shoulders. She can't believe her best friend did this.

Milk chocolate, almond nuts, amortentia, inverted beautification potion, the spit of Maureena Elizabeth Templeton.

"What's inverted beautification potion?" Oliver asked.

"Beautification potion makes the drinker look perfect to everyone," Luis answered. "Inverted beautification potion makes the drinker think the giver of the potion looks unbelievably perfect. Which makes this-"

"Dangerously powerful, I'm amazed Weasley hasn't married Templeton already," Marcus finished for him.

"Why is there Templeton's spit?"

"Templeton must mix the unused mixed potion with her spit before lacing the chocolate with it so the consumer will fall in love with her," Marcus answered her question. "Now the problem is that it would be insanely difficult for Percy to be off this mix."

"Why?"

"It's highly addictive, he might even need St. Mungo's help," Marcus answered. "We have to report it to Professor Dumbledore."

"So I've heard-" the four of them turned their heads to see Professor Snape right behind them. "A mix of inverted beautification and amortentia."

"Yes." Oliver nods.

"Four of you," Snape snatched the parchment off Marcus's hand. "Come with me. This is a serious matter, where did you get it?"

"I nicked some chocolate from Maureena Templeton's and Percival Weasley's date," Audrey answered.

"Alright. You should tell the story to Dumbledore." Snape said as he pushed the five of them to enter the platform with the gryphon. "Acid pops."

The platform spun and revealed Dumbledore's office.

"Hello." Albus looked up from his table. "Take a seat, how may I help you?"

"A student is being drugged."

"What?"
