With the exposure of Vincent Lord's love affair, the whole Hogwarts was in chaos. After hearing the news, some of the people who had been supporting the couple covered their faces and cried.

The perceptive Remus and others had already noticed something was wrong with Vinciu Lord, and when Severus saw the crazy infatuation in his eyes, he was even more certain that he had definitely drunk a love potion.

In the Potions class, Severus processed the materials in his hands and paid attention to observing Vince Lord. The boy was no different from usual, but he just deliberately kept his distance.

But it was just communication.

He would avoid any close-range actions that Wenxiu Lord would consider as intimate, and after class he would just say goodbye and leave without any lingering feelings.

This resulted in everyone being absent-minded during the morning classes, and they frequently failed in Transfiguration and Potions classes. Even Severus ruined several potions.

The professors understood this and did not deduct points from them. After all, anyone would feel the same way if they knew that the person they liked suddenly had a lover.

At noon, no one had the appetite to eat, and they all gathered in the auditorium without any prior arrangement.

Regulus glanced at the people coming and going in the auditorium and said, "Let's talk somewhere else."

There were many people in the auditorium, and what they were going to talk about next was not suitable to be said here. They found the nearest abandoned classroom, closed the door, and Severus expressed his judgment.

Others might think that there is nothing wrong with the two of them being together, but those who are close to Wenxiu Lord know that this is absolutely impossible!

After hearing what Severus said, everyone believed it without a doubt. Sirius kicked the desk angrily. The heavy desk hit the ground, raising dust and making several people cough.

"Damn Sally Bourne." There was a piercing cruelty flashing in the warm gray eyes.

Although he had guessed it a long time ago, after he really knew the news, the pain in his heart turned into overwhelming anger, and he was about to rush out and tear Sally Bourne to pieces.

"He actually dared!" Every word was uttered through his teeth with murderous intent.

No one present criticized his behavior because everyone was like him, their hearts were already filled with anger.

Sirius was not only angry, but also regretful. He thought that this damn guy was just secretly in love with Wen Xiu, but he didn't expect that he would dare to use a love potion.

The only thing he regretted now was that he hadn't thought of a way to cast a spell to get rid of that damn Sally Bourne when he was in the ward.

The eyes of the few people present who usually smiled were now cold. Regulus spoke in a cold voice, stopping Sirius from continuing to vent.

Lily quickly waved her hand to clear away the dust in front of her, looked at Severus with sinister eyes, and asked, "Professor Slughorn should have the antidote for the love potion."

All eyes were on Severus.

After class in the morning, Severus asked Professor Slughorn if he had a ready-made antidote to the love potion.

When they saw Severus's frown, they knew that it was definitely not the case.

Sirius cursed again, and Severus, Regulus, and Remus, who were never good at showing their emotions, had already clenched their wands.

As the parties involved, these people obviously have lost much of their rationality.

The calmest person now was James Potter, who was holding Lily's hand.

"Then what do we do next?"

Anger cannot solve the problem, but anyone who can remain calm when faced with such a situation is obviously not a normal person.

Given the current situation of these people, we should be thankful that they don't do anything extreme. Lily thought for a while and looked at the silent people.

"Let's buy the antidote on the market first. We don't know how long it will take, so we need to make some preparations."

His eyes fell on Severus, "Severus, can you brew an antidote with your current level of potion skills?"

Severus, who had not yet learned the art of brain occlumency, could not hide his strong emotions very well. Although he tried to speak calmly, one could still hear the anger mixed in every letter.

"We are still short of a few ingredients. I will send a letter to Sebastian and tell him about the situation here. I will ask him to look for an antidote on the market."

Regulus then spoke up, "The Black family will also help."

Lily nodded. "When Wenxiu returns to the dormitory tonight, you still have to tell him that he drank the aphrodisiac. If possible, ask Severus and Regulus to control Wenxiu and not let him leave the dormitory."

"As for the rest," his eyes fell on Remus and Sirius, "I will tell Headmaster Dumbledore about this. During the time that Wen Xiu drinks the antidote, we have to find the culprit."

"Huh!? Do we even need to investigate this? It must be that Sally Bourne!"

Holding Sirius, who had a ferocious expression, James Potter gave a rare and reliable explanation.

"We all know that Wen Xiu is avoiding Sally Bourne during this period. The two of them have no contact except in class."

Regulus continued the conversation, "So the drugging was definitely not done by Sally Bourne. He must have an accomplice. We have to find him. Otherwise, it's too dangerous for such a person to stay with Wen Xiu."

tuk tuk tuk

There was a knock on the door of the abandoned classroom.

Several people drew their wands in silence and asked cautiously, "Who?"

The dilapidated door creaked, and a figure walked out from the gap. Everyone paused when they saw who it was. "Crouch?"

Sirius was annoyed when he saw him now. He clenched his wand and pointed it at little Barty, "Why is it you? Get out!"

After closing the door and taking a few steps forward, Little Batty smiled politely, but his eyes were equally cold. "Don't be so rude, I'm here to help you."

He really saw a good show in the auditorium that morning.

It just makes people feel very unhappy that someone actually wants to monopolize the pet he likes. It is unforgivable.

Although several people present disliked him, since it was related to Wenxiu Lord, they did not refuse his joining.

Lily briefly repeated the plan to Little Barty, and seeing that he did not raise any objections, everyone left quickly without wasting time.

There was still some time left before the afternoon class, so Regulus and Severus returned to the dormitory, picked up their quills and began to write letters, while Remus and the others knocked on the door of Professor McGonagall's office together.

Professor McGonagall, who had just finished her meal and was correcting the homework of the little wizards, opened the door and saw several little lions from her college walking in anxiously.

"Professor McGonagall, we would like to see Headmaster Dumbledore."

Mag looked at the few people who were obviously running over and breathing heavily, with a serious expression, "What happened?"

Several people spoke up at the same time, "Wen Xiu drank the love potion."

Professor McGonagall frowned. Love potions were contraband, and the Ministry of Magic had expressly prohibited the sale of them. If Vince Lord really drank the love potion to be with Sally Bourne, then this matter should not be underestimated.

Professor McGonagall brought several people to the headmaster's office and knocked on the door. After a moment, the tightly closed door opened a crack.

It was daytime now, and Dumbledore was the only one in the headmaster's office. Grindelwald was still in the holiday home, studying the Death Eater mark on Abraxas Malfoy's arm, as regular as punching in at work every day.

Dumbledore listened to what Lily and the others said, his loving expression was serious and earnest, "The professors and I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If you see Wen Xiu and Sally Bourne, you can bring them directly to me."

After sending a few people away, Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore who was sitting behind his desk, frowned and said, "This is really ridiculous!"

Dumbledore raised his hand and stroked his beard with deep blue eyes. "Who can tell the truth about love? This kind of thing has happened in Hogwarts over the years. Every Valentine's Day there are many chocolates mixed with love potions."

Professor McGonagall was about to retort in dissatisfaction, but was interrupted by Dumbledore's sigh, "Can you please call Flitwick for me?"
