Sasuke was in the hideout, training in taijutsu and ninjutsu, as the first task was just around the corner. When he returned to the castle, Luna handed him a copy of the Pasquim, with the headline reading, "The Fourth Champion of Hogwarts."

Pasquim

Yes, my friends, they tried to keep this information from us, but the Pasquim discovered: Sasuke Uchiha is the youngest champion in the entire history of the Triwizard Tournament. Mr. Uchiha is a Muggle-born wizard who...

Sasuke told Luna he would read it later and thanked her for the newspaper.

Luna: I also brought a copy for Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle, she said, approaching the three and handing them the paper.

With just a week left until the first task, the emo transformed an abandoned classroom on the eighth floor into a potions lab. With the help of Luna and Zacharias, he managed to gather many common herbs and other materials, such as knives, test tubes, glass bottles, and some medicinal supplies he had bought earlier in the year.

In the past week, the emo spent his time in the lab practicing potions while Luna and Zacharias assisted in preparing and cleaning the materials. The emo's movements were swift and precise, impressing both Zacharias and Luna. They bottled the potions with labels: Potion of the Living Dead, Calming Potion, Alihotsy Potion, and Dittany Potion.

After finishing all the potions, Zacharias asked why he was preparing such a variety.

Sasuke: I don't know what the first task will be like. I'm preparing for any situation.

Zacharias: I get that, but why the bezoar?

Sasuke: Because it's the antidote to most poisons.

Sasuke grabbed two bags and handed one to Zacharias and another to Luna. I want you both to take the potions on the day of the task, and don't forget the bezoar, he said, seeing them nod in agreement.

Meanwhile, in the Great Hall, all the students were excited because the first task would take place tomorrow. Moody was observing the champions. He saw that Potter, Krum, and Delacour were nervous since the three already knew what they would face in the first task. He also glanced toward the emo, who was calmly reading at the Slytherin table.

Time passed, and the emo returned to the common room. When he entered, only half of the Slytherin students wished him good luck for tomorrow. The other half wore malicious smiles, confident that he would die during the task. Sasuke felt more relieved, as with Krum around, the girls had stopped bothering him and were cheering for the Bulgarian Seeker's victory.
