Callum sighed, putting down the paper and studying their expressions. "Don't tell me... Teenage drama with possibly illegal implications? And let me guess... It has something to do with a potion?"

He laughed, shaking his head. "The exact same expression you have right now was on your mother's face years ago. And your father's. And your parents' faces too, Mr. Falnix."

She was stunned into silence for a few seconds before she could reply. "Oh! Well, actually, someone spiked Giovanni's drink with Veritaserum, and we have the bottle here. I was wondering if there was a spell to perform to find out who it belongs to."

"I know a few forensic spells, yeah. Bring it here."
Elizabeth placed the bottle on the desk, unwrapping the scarf.

"However, it's a potion. There needs to be time to brew it, and you need to acquire fingerprint samples to compare them to. The names of the people won't suddenly appear, after all."

She sighed in frustration. "Right, well we know the person is a Hufflepuff..."

"You'll have about a week before the potion is ready. I could make it, but the other teachers would be... Curious, to say the least. I feel it may fuel rumors and create a small frenzy."

She cursed under her breath. "Well, it's still important that we find out who did it. They broke the school rules, after all."

"I'll brew it," Giovanni volunteered. "It might take longer if you do it. You have actual work, and all."
"Wait, hold on. I'm still curious about that story with the parents and the potions... What's up with that?"

Tessa fiddled with the hem of her jumper, zoning out for a few moments. Her brow creased as the scent of ylang-ylang and sandalwood hit her again. That smell seemed to follow her everywhere... She blinked back a sudden wave of dizziness, and gripped the edge of the Professor's desk to ground herself.

Tessa nodded, finding herself suddenly unable to speak, and yet even as she opened her mouth to make an attempt her knees buckled beneath her. She fell to the floor, vision fading and all other senses shutting down shortly after.

Quickly, Ricardo gathered her up in his arms, rushing out of the classroom. "We need to the nurse."

The muscles in her limbs began to convulse in a series of contracting and relaxing, sending ripples of movement over her body.

Xander quickly followed the pair, strangely subdued as he hadn't uttered a word since coming down from the seventh floor.

"Hold on, hold on," Ricardo murmured, holding her tightly. "Almost there."
Giovanni stiffened as he ran after them. Spasms were never good.

Nicolas walked into the Room of Requirement at 8:45, wearing his favorite pajamas (the black ones with the red trim and Swiss flags all over it). The room had become a sort of indoor campground, with a few tents, a fire pit, and a ceiling similar to that of the Great Hall, which mirrored the sky outside.
