This chapter was written by me but concocted by Random Muggle. Happy Hollydays, Enjoy. We don't own Harry Potter.

"Why do they teach children to unlock locked doors, anyway? Do they also teach them to hot wire a broom?" Jo said from where she'd flopped.
"You don't really need to hot wire a broom, you just kinda…go," Leili responded.
"Oh, you know what I mean!" Jo huffed and Leili laughed.
"In all fairness, have you ever seen your mother lock her keys in the house or the car? A spell to unlock locked doors would come in very handy."
"Hmph. Mebbeh," Jo said, "I still think it's just asking for trouble."
"Obviously. If we didn't learn how to unlock locked doors, they never would have gotten into trouble with that dog last night."
"We got majorly lucky this time; can't always depend on that," Jo sighed.
Leili stared off into space above her bed and then slowly, a thought occurred to her. "Maybe… we can…" Leili rolled off the bed and scrambled over to the bookshelf and started muttering to herself as she looked for and then grabbed the book she needed. She flipped to a page and dropped the book on her bed between herself and Jo and pointed to a passage titled, "Liquid luck". Jo rolled over to look at the page in question,
"Does… Does that do what I think it does?" Jo asked hopefully.
"Yup."
"Awesome!"
"It's monstrously difficult though, and takes 6 months to properly stew… and that's only if it's done right, who knows what happens if you get it wrong," Leili explained, not to mention it was magic way beyond her 3rd year potions class.
"Well, with those three, we're going to need all the help we can get," Jo told her.
"Fair enough. I'll start working on it in the morning. Honorary 'Puffs huh?"
"Yep."
"Well, this should be just loads of fun," Leili rolled her eyes and snapped the tome shut.
