Lynx POV
The year was ending, soon I will be with my family, having fun and relaxing at home. I had exams, of course, every exam I've done was excellent, but I had to help "Hogwarts and the wizarding world" with this Philosopher's stone issue. In three days is the ending year feast, and we will know who will win the house cup, I'm excited to know it will be us the ones who receive the price
I was with Snape, in my "extra classes" or better said, alchemy and idiocy's classes
"Are you paying attention?" He asked
"Should I?" I said raising my brow
"Listen, fool girl, this ain't game, this is serious!" He said
"I don't care, if he who must not be named comes back, it will not affect me"
"You don't know what are you saying, just shut up. Please" I did so
"Why you don't answer?"
"I was told to shut up, Professor" I said obviously breaking the instruction
"You're driving me crazy, please, Lynx, talk and don't pretend as if you obeyed to everything"
"Okay, so, what's the point of this?" I asked
"We believe whoever is behind the stone will attack tonight"- "That's why we should place some puzzles that will be sheltering the stone, every professor will do one, including me"
"And?" He rolled his eyes
"Tell me if you can easily solve this, please" He appeared a table and place different bottles with potions in them, and a little piece of parchment that said
"Danger lies before you, while safety lies behind, Two of us will help you, which ever you would find,One among us seven will let you move ahead,Another will transport the drinker back instead,Two among our number hold only nettle wine,Three of us are killers, waiting hidden in line.Choose, unless you wish to stay here forever more,To help you in your choice, we give you these clues four:First, however slyly the poison tries to hide
You will always find some on nettle wine's left side. Second, different are those who stand at either end,But if you would move on ward, neither is your friend.Third, as you see clearly, all are different size, Neither dwarf nor giant holds death in their insides. Fourth, the second left and the second on the right, are twins once you taste them, though different at first sight" I read
"Brilliant, I must say" I perceived he felt flattered as I admired his puzzle
"This is logic?" I asked
"Indeed, now solve it"
There are seven bottles and to what I understood, three of them are poison, two are wine and one will help" I said, I read and read many times, until I got it
"The smallest bottle is the correct" I said
"Brilliant, I must say" He said impressed
"I know"-"But I don't think whoever is behind this is that clever to solve it" I said
"I'll go to place the puzzle, while I want you to go now and look for Harry Potter and company, you run and tell me what you hear"
