where: Slytherin Common Room when: February 11, 1978 who: Isaac Buchanan and Damon Mulciber ( @damonmulciber )
It was the start of the weekend and people were very much excited to get out of the castle and walk around Hogsmeade. It was the weekend before Valentine’s too which meant that lovers old and new will be going on their strolls around the village pretending as if it were some scenic destination. For Isaac however, that meant hand-delivering orders to those who wanted to get their hands on some love potions, (with one particular exception of someone ordering a hate potion). Many students tried to pass him the word that they wanted some but Isaac only accepted orders that were made a week in advance since he still had to post the list to his older cousin who sources the items for him.
The potions arrived yesterday morning. Isaac woke up earlier than usual to head up to the Owlery just so he could collect them before breakfast. They came in disguised as perfumes or cough potions. The higher they paid, the more potent it was.
That morning, Isaac lined the love potions on one of the tables in the relatively abandoned Slytherin Common Room. He was slipping a tag on the necks of the bottles containing the names of those he was supposed to give them to when he knocked one of the cough syrup bottles off the table. It rolled on the floor until it stopped at the foot of an older student.
“Mind passing that?” Isaac asked Damon as he stood up to collect the bottle.
