Felix Felicis and the Swallow-tailed Dog

"What's this..."

Cedric noticed Kyle staring blankly at a bottle about the size of a thumb, and curiously approached him.

"Strange, why isn't there a label on this?" Cedric frowned, puzzled. "Could it be that the people at St Mungo's's accidentally put it in the wrong place?"

"With eyesight like yours, what kind of Seeker you? You should just retire already, so you don't embarrass yourself later." Kyle reached out and pointed at the bottle, saying, "Look closely, the label is right here... huh?"

Kyle was stunned before he could finish speaking.

He discovered that the spot where he was pointing was empty; the words he had just written on it had vanished without him noticing.

No... you must have seen wrong.

Cedric examined the bottle carefully again, and after confirming that there were indeed no labels on it, he smiled and said, "By the way, the Quidditch Finals are in a few days, so you'd better not go out at night lately, lest you're half-asleep and throw your Quaffle over the bar again..."

After saying that, Cedric turned his head and started talking to George next to him about something else.

"Strange..." Kyle muttered to himself, looking at the bottle in his hand.

He was certain that when he first saw the bottle, the words "Veritaserum" were indeed written on it in gold cursive script.

In the blink of an eye, all the words disappeared without leaving a trace.

"It can't be that I'm really seeing things... Oh well, I'll study it more carefully when I have time."

Kyle shook his head, put the bottle in his pocket, and continued rummaging through the Potions in the box.

Compared to Veritaserum, the rest of the Potions are much more normal. Although many are quite expensive, they can generally be found in stores.

Soon, only one bottle of Potions remained unopened in the box.

It was placed in the very corner of the box, and the bottle was even smaller than the Veritaserum.

When Kyle carefully took it out, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

"No way..."

Cedric's eyes widened in disbelief. "This is Felix Felicis?!"

Inside the bottle, the golden liquid swayed slightly as Kyle moved.

Cedric's eyes followed the movement up and down.

"What? Felix Felicis!"

At this moment, Fred and George also came over and asked curiously, "Is this the legendary Felix Felicis?"

"It should be right."

Cedric nodded seriously and said, "Although this is also the first time I've seen real Felix Felicis, I've seen it in books. This is what it looks like, and look, it's written here."

As he spoke, Cedric pointed to the label on the bottle neck, which was barely bigger than a grain of rice.

"It really is Felix Felicis!" Fred clicked his tongue.

Like Cedric, this was also the first time he had ever seen real Felix Felicis.

Before this, in his mind, this thing was like the Elder Wand in the storybook—something from legends.

The three of them stared intently at the Felix Felicis in Kyle's hand, not even daring to blink, until they reluctantly left with only five minutes left before class.

Kanna glanced at it curiously, but the more she looked at the small bottle, the more familiar it seemed...

"Still haven't remembered? You haven't already forgotten, have you?"

On the way to the Charms class, Kyle took out the bottle of Felix Felicis again and waved it in front of Kanna.

Just a reminder, this is last year's Christmas present.

"Christmas... Oh right, I remember!"

Kanna paused, then exclaimed in realization, "I remember Professor Snape gave me a bottle of this Potions back then. So it really is Felix Felicis!"

"It's not cold medicine anymore?" Kyle asked, drawing out his words.

Kanna seemed to understand Kyle's meaning, blushed, and turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly, explaining in a low voice.

At the time, she didn't know about Professor Snape's relationship with the Prince family, so it's understandable that she didn't believe it.

After all, what professor would give a student Felix Felicis as a gift? It just seems absurd.

"Now you should believe me, right?" Kyle asked with a smile.

Just as Kanna was about to nod, she suddenly remembered something, looked up, and glared at Kyle, saying, "Wait, you didn't know Professor Snape knew me back then, did you? And you've been laughing at me ever since?"

"You're overthinking it, that's really not it."

Kyle shook his head and explained, "I only found out a few days before the holiday started."

Kanna wrinkled her nose and asked, "Then how could you be so sure that the Potions he gave me was Felix Felicis?"

Kyle said casually, "Because that's what Felix Felicis looks like."

"It's that simple?"

"Of course..." Kyle chuckled, "However, it also has to do with the professor's personality; Professor Snape would never joke like that."

The professors at Hogwarts have very different personalities, so if that gift was given to Kanna by Professor Flitwick, it might actually be cold medicine.

Because he had done something similar before.

Chris had mentioned in a casual conversation that Professor Flitwick once gave all the students who stayed on campus a Ravenclaw's Diadem at Christmas.

However, the students soon discovered that it was actually chocolate, but Professor Flitwick had magically shaped it into the form of Ravenclaw's Diadem.

"I see..." Kanna nodded thoughtfully.

Upon reflection, she realized that Professor Snape indeed wouldn't do such unnecessary things.

"Oh, right, here you go."

Just as they were about to reach the Charms classroom, Kyle suddenly took a small bottle out of his pocket and handed it to him.

It was the Felix Felicis that Snape gave to Kanna.

He didn't dare put this anywhere else; he always carried it with him.

Kanna glanced at Kyle but didn't take it.

"You really gave it to me?"

"What you're saying... this was originally yours," Kyle laughed.

I kept the Felix Felicis for Kanna because she kept losing things, and it wasn't safe to leave it with her.

Now that the thieving "mouse" is gone, there's nothing to worry about.

Kanna remained motionless.

"What are you waiting for? Take it!" Kyle urged, seeing that she hadn't moved. "Class is about to start."

"Don't want..."

"Huh?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.

This is Felix Felicis...

I said, "I don't want to."

Kanna suddenly laughed. Standing in the doorway of the Charms classroom, hands behind her back, she said, "Since I gave it to you, it's yours now. I don't want to be Swallow-tailed Dog..."
