The morning after their return to the Ravenclaw Common Room, Callum confronted Otto, Caoimhe, and Finlay about the missing Dust of Disappearance. He had discovered their substitution with Puffing Pixie Powder and demanded to know their destination. The group deflected his questions, maintaining their secrecy.
Later, in Herbology class, Professor Blithe Thimblethorn called them aside, suspicious of their recent absences. Thinking quickly, they concocted a story about a misadventure in the Forbidden Forest involving mysterious berries that left them disoriented. Their deception held, and Blithe let them off with a warning.
That night, Otto awoke to find Callum sneaking out. He roused Finlay, who dashed to alert Caoimhe. Together, they confronted Callum, who reluctantly agreed to let them accompany him. Their stealthy journey through the castle led them to Juniper’s Midnight Market, a clandestine hub of student trade.
At the market, they played the role of informants, uncovering that Declan had purchased Polyjuice Potion. They seized Juniper’s ledger, refusing to return it, and left with more questions than answers.
The following morning, they discovered that Primrose was missing. Concerned and determined to uncover the truth, they resolved to return to Seylon’s Tower. This time, they allowed Callum to join their expedition, hoping his presence might prove useful—or at least keep him from causing trouble.
As they prepared for their journey back to the tower, the weight of their secrets and the mystery of Primrose’s disappearance loomed large, driving them deeper into the unknown.
