"Yes, but there's no time to explain. You have to go in there and find out who it was, or at least give me a list of everyone. Please!"

"Here. You can come in with me." She turned to the door. "Marmite." It swung open.

She looked a little apprehensive as she followed her sister in, taking a long look around the warm looking room. It was so totally different from the Ravenclaw common room that she was a little taken aback.

"There's almost no one here. And since last night we had the annual Hufflepuff Secret Santa gift exchange, we were all up pretty late. Most of us are asleep."

Tessa gritted her teeth in frustration. "It's really urgent, Lizzie."

"I think they went up to the boy's dormitories. And no females can step up there. What even happened?"

"Someone spiked Giovanni's drink with Veritaserum," she sighed. "He said some things that shouldn't have been said."

"That's horrid! Who would do something like that? What did he even say?"

"Erm, you're probably best asking him yourself. Or Ricardo. Anyway, we need to find out who spiked the drink."

Xander stumbled into the Great Hall, breathless with snow sprinkled across his hair and clothes. Had that not been an indication of where he had just been, then the broomstick clutched in his hand was.
"Did... Did something happen?" He called out to those remaining in the room, tone uncertain. "Because I both heard and saw a few of you storming around when I got back inside..."

"Alright. It has to be someone who's either really good with potions so they could make some, or really clever enough to be able to rob some from the potions classroom."

Tessa shrugged helplessly. "I only really know you and Leo well enough."

"Okay. Maybe we should think past ability and into motive. Who would want Giovanni to--" she caught herself before she said what actually happened. "To say whatever he said."

"Someone who dislikes Giovanni, probably," Tessa grumbled. "I can't think of any other reasonable motive."

"But for what? And why Veratiserum? They may have just cursed him if they disliked only him. Maybe they were trying to get something out of him?" Who to frame, who to frame... Tessa? Too clueless. Jane? Nobody would buy that, she's such a goody two-shoes. Bianca? Maybe...

"You have a point," she frowned. "Wait! The bottle! I'm such an idiot, I just left it lying there and it's the only evidence we have. Maybe if I took it to the teachers there's some sort of forensics spell they could use..."

The corridor," she murmured. "By the door to the Great Hall. I'd better go and get it."

Leo trudged into the Great Hall, head banging. He took a seat at the Hufflepuff table, every muscle in his body protesting at the movement. As he filled himself a goblet of water, he glanced around, seeking out Tessa. She was seated by herself at the Ravenclaw table, eyes swollen from either tears or alcohol, a mug of coffee clutched in front of her. The Hufflepuff felt a stab of pity for her, wishing he could go over and say something but knowing full well that he wouldn't know what to say.
