"Take all the time you need." Xander shrugged. "I'm pretty sure that the rest of the 'crew' are trying to track down the culprit too."

"But how? It's not as if we have any leads yet. Or physical evidence."

Tessa willed open the door to the Room of Requirent, a glass bottle levitating before her. "I thought I'd find you here," she explained, cheeks slightly flushed.

"This is like one of those muggle mystery novels that my mother made me read when I was younger, I didn't understand what was going on half of the time but the concept it still there." Xander began to pace to room under the guise that he actually knew what he was doing. "We can probably find a lead if we head back to Ravenclaw Tower, there's a possibility that someone saw the culprit slip in or that they left something- Ah, Tessa!" He acknowledged the newcomer with a nod.

"Hello, Tessa," Giovanni said with a small smile. "What's that you've got there?"
Elizabeth filed in behind her sister, silent.

Xander peered at the floating bottle with a degree of curiosity. "... A lead?"

"A bottle of Veritaserum," she returned, expression grim. "I tried to follow them, but I couldn't continue into the Hufflepuff common room."

"A Hufflepuff?" Xander raised a brow, shooting a glance at Giovanni and half wondering if learning the House helped with remember potential grudge bearers. "At least that narrows down the list of suspects."

Giovanni hesitated, glancing at Elizabeth. No... It couldn't have been. I'm just being paranoid. I don't even remember if that argument was even real. "I don't know of any Hufflepuff students that could have something against me."

"Well since we have no idea who it could be, I think we should take it to a teacher," she said, folding her arms. "Like I said to Elizabeth, there must be some sort of spell to identify fingerprints. The use of Veritaserum is against school rules - whoever did it will have to face the consequences."

"As long as we leave out the parts about the drinking," Giovanni muttered, studying the bottle.

"That doesn't really come into it," Tessa pointed out.

"Good point." He sighed, sitting down. "I wonder what will happen to whoever it was."

"Surely they'll face expulsion, or at least a suspension," she said with a frown. "It's quite a serious breach of the school rules."

Elizabeth's eyes widened. "That person certainly deserves it." If they launch an investigation, they'll find the books. I need to work faster to get away with this...

"That's sorted then," she shrugged. "Which teacher do we go to?"

"A capable one." Xander interjected. "Who won't flip out as soon as they see us with a bottle of Veritaserum, because that stuff is supposed to have serious restrictions."

"Maybe Proffessor Abernathy? I mean, he knows he can trust our word. He had a hand in raising most of us."

"Yeah, you're right," Tessa said with a small smile. "Okay then, should we go now?"

"Do you know where we can find him? Teachers tend to have a habit of disappearing around school during Christmas because they don't really have anything to do."
