Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 159: Veritaserum Mixed into the Potions

"What did you say... an empty room is located beneath the trapdoor?"

The next morning, when Fred and George heard this from Kyle, their faces mirrored Cedric’s from the night before—shock, doubt, and disbelief.

Because of the trapdoor, neither of them had slept well. Every time they closed their eyes, the terrifying image of the Three-Headed Dog loomed in their minds. They had spent half the night speculating about what treasure was valuable enough to warrant the dog’s protection.

The final exam papers, maybe? Or even the Gryffindor sword?

They guessed endlessly, finally dozing off just before dawn. And now Kyle was telling them that the rooms beneath the trapdoor were... empty?

Fred and George were struggling to accept it. Where was the adventure, the thrill of discovery? Had Dumbledore simply designated an empty corner of the castle to keep his oversized guard dog? This was too simple, even disappointing.

“Those rooms probably haven’t been there for long,” Kyle said, giving Fred a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “It’s just that, with the start of the school year, the professors are busy. They likely haven’t had time to set up the challenges yet. We can always check back later, around Halloween or the Christmas holidays.”

“I see…” Fred quickly lost interest in the potions and returned to his copy of

Cedric and Kanna, however, were intrigued and came over for a closer look.

By now, Kyle had unwrapped the brown paper, revealing a wooden box. It was charmed with a Undetectable Extension Charm for easy transport, making it appear no larger than the palm of his hand from the outside.

But once opened, it revealed a spacious interior filled with potions. Large and small bottles, nearly fifty or sixty in total, were neatly arranged inside. One side of the box was set aside for potion ingredients.

“These are Ashwinder egg shells… and Staghorns!” Kanna whispered in amazement. She recognized these from Professor Snape’s office, where they were stored on the top shelf. Such rare ingredients could easily sell for hundreds of Galleons in Diagon Alley.

Kyle glanced briefly at the ingredients before focusing back on the potions themselves. As he surveyed them, he noticed something odd: there were far more than he had expected. In addition to those that had been agreed upon, Director Sykes had included some extras.

To his surprise, he even spotted a small vial of Veritaserum tucked away in the corner of the box.
