It was a couple of days later, Harry and Sev had reformed their friendship and were working on their potion. Unfortunately, or fortunately, Harry's girlfriends were avoiding him as best as they could.
Harry was worried that he did something wrong, but Sev told him that they're probably giving him space since they sent him to the hospital in the first place.
"I guess, Sev; but I can't help but feel like I'm alienating them. Or...they're alienating me?" Harry asked
"Harry, you're a good guy. Just take this time to relax. Okay?" Sev answered even if he was a bit jealous of Harry and still slightly mad at him
"Yeah...Yeah, okay." He nodded. "I think this the right one." Harry pointed to the last ingredient.
"Are you sure?" Sev asked, looking at the ingredient Harry chose.
"No." Harry flinched "But we have ruled out basically everything else."
"Well...Occam's Razor and a process of elimination." Sev answered, picking up the last ingredient and poured it into the vial, letting the potion synthesize and bubble.
The two sat there, waiting nervously
The two saw their potion bubble and froth in the vials, shifting from one vial to the next, each beaker the liquid changed colour, From purple to blue, to green to red. But when it came to the last part...it became a vivid lilac.
"Did it work?" Harry asked
"I...I'm not sure. But...I believe so." Sev answered, looking at the potion and unshackled it from its grip.
The two looked at the potion and their faces broke into grins
"We did it! We flaming did it!" Harry laughed heartily
"We did it!" Sev cheered
"Did we write down the last ingredient?" Harry asked
Sev blinked and nodded, writing down the last part in his potions book. "Have now!"
Harry exhaled happily. This potion was going to help so many people.
The two high-fived lightly before they set everything down carefully and ran off to get Professor Slughorn
With their potion made, they were almost bouncing with each step. But now, they had to tell their professor.
They needed to show him
Unknown to the pair of them, someone was sneaking around their work, looking at their stuff. But they didn't know who it was.
Harry and Sev arrived at Professor Slughorn's room, knocking on the door to grab his attention.
"Hello?" He asked, opening the door
"Professor." Sev and Harry spoke
"Boys, what're you doing here? I thought you would've been in Hogsmeade today." Professor Slughorn asked
"We've created a new potion." Harry responded
"I beg your pardon?" Professor Slughorn asked
"We just had to show you." Sev followed up "We've been working on it for months."
"You have?" The Professor asked. "Well, come in. Show me."
"It's not with us." Harry shook his head "We left it in the room we have been preparing it in, keeping it safe."
"Ah, very good. Well. Let the dog see the rabbit." Professor Slughorn got out of his office and looked at them. "Let me see your set up."
*time skip*
Harry and Sev had explained and shown Professor Slughorn their potion and their set up. The two were supposed to be excited...but unfortunately. Someone had come into their room and destroyed vials. They couldn't find the potion though.
The three were shocked, seeing the make shift lab ransacked the way it was
"Merlin's Beard...What happened?" Professor Slughorn gasped in shock, seeing this appalling sight.
"What? Who? How?" Harry rubbed his shaggy hair.
Sev was trying to look around for any clues. But he found the violet potion deep within the wreckage.
"It's okay." Sev signed in relief
"Thank god for that." Harry sighed in agreement
"Is that the potion?" Slughorn asked
"Yes, the first one of its kind." Sev nodded and carefully handed it over.
"Many have said that. So what is it?" Slughorn asked
"It's a potion to help people that are suffering with an Obscurus. Those who've suppressed their magic because of fear can now be helped without losing control." Harry explained "It was Sev's idea."
"No, I only brought the subject of Obscurus up since you looked malnourished. You suggested we make a potion." Sev said, trying to deny the praise he deserved showing how humble he had grown
"And I meant it as a joke. You got into the idea and wanted to help people. Sev, this was your idea. Your baby. I was just here to help the delivery." Harry said, wanting his friend to have the praise he deserved... And made a joke about it
"Well, it seems that both of you have produced the potion. Set-up aside...I believe that both of you deserve congratulations." Professor Slughorn spoke
"Thank you sir." They nodded
"Now, I think you two need to test the potion out...while also needing to patent it." Professor Slughorn added, giving them some advice.
"Yeah." Harry nodded
Sev crossed his fingers and looked at Harry. "Here's hoping it DOES work."
"It WILL." Harry nodded. "One thing though...Who broke our equipment?"
*elsewhere*
Scurrying through the halls of the hall, leading to a hidden location in the school, a small rat was going to find something...but this wasn't just a normal rat. It was Pettigrew, who had changed himself back to normal and was meeting someone. "I-I broke the stuff."
"Good." The voice of the one he was meeting replied, hidden in shadows... And then the curtain fell, filling the room with light and revealing Lucius Malfoy
"What else would you like?" Pettigrew asked nervously and cautiously.
"Nothing for now. You've done enough." Lucius answered. 'Potter will pay for taking my fiancee. And Severus will be dragged down WITH him!'
He thought, beginning his plot to be the next Dark Lord...
Yes you can laugh now
We now travel to the Headmaster's room, Dumbledore was seeing the progress of all the students. In terms of points, Ravenclaw was in the lead, but that wasn't neither here nor there for the moment.
He cared little about the House Cup
Right now...He was concerned about Harry. He was soaring through his lessons, his history seemed sketchy...Everything was now a red-flag for him.
The old man was becoming obsessed about something he did not know
'Who are you, Harry Potter? First Voldemort dies after you've been here a few months. Your striking similarity to James Potter...What ARE you?' He mumbled to himself.
The Phoenix in his office sighed in its bird like way
"What're you sighing for, Fawkes?" Dumbledore asked, turning to his pet even if he didn't understand him
Dumbledore got up out of his chair and began to think, relaying all his thoughts on this subject...And the only person who was with Harry and him at the same time was 'Minerva. I'll have to ask her.'
He nodded, leaving his office. His plan underway
