You stay a little longer with your daughter before you get up and cross the room to stand in front of the small table. Your eyes immediately fall on the potion, in which a golden liquid shimmers: liquid luck.
You reach for the bottle of Felix Felicis, and you lift the potion up to eye level. You feel and you see how your hand is trembling.
You could drink it, you think, and make sure that you will succeed in your escape. The thought is extremely seductive. So tempting that you almost did it when you were sitting on the couch in your living room at the farm, reaching for Felix Felicis on the table to give yourself luck for an escape. And yet, though there is no Tom here in this hotel room to hurl the potion against the wall with his wand, something holds you back, and you don't dare to put the potion to your lips... You frown as your hesitation becomes more and more obvious. The potion in your shaky fingers is powerful, you know, it can save you and your daughter from them. You are sure they are looking for you at this moment. Drink!, says a voice in your head. Drink!, and all will be well, and the terrible fear of being found by them will finally leave you.
You hear the glass bottle knocking loudly against the table as you put it down because your hand is now shaking terribly. You feel your heart pounding in your chest, feel it beating and bumping restlessly, you feel your stomach twisting and writhing, you can feel the fear that has a firm grip on you, it makes you dizzy, it makes your mouth dry, as if your tongue hasn't felt a drop of water for days. Now that you and your daughter are not in immediate danger, you can feel how afraid you are of Felix Felicis. During your first escape with your daughter, you drank it, and in the weeks and months that followed, you kept using it. When you started to feel safe again, you took a break and stopped taking the potion for several weeks. But then, three months ago, you ran out of money. During the winter months, you have no vegetables or fruits in your garden, and you knew that you had to act quickly to prevent your daughter from going to bed with a half-full stomach.
You brewed Felix Felicis and took the liquid luck potion you still had in your bag to successfully execute a business idea that you had thought about many times before. And it worked, unexpected doors opened for you and your potions are now sold by a famous potion store chain. But now that Voldemort and Tom have found you on your muggle farm hidden in the mountains, you are plagued by a terrible fear.
What if Felix Felicis ...
You grip tightly the table and your knuckles are sticking out white. You stare at the wall with glassy eyes, without looking at anything in particular. Thoughts race in your head.
You know that in every potion book the dangers of Felix Felicis are pointed out. You are very sure that you have never made a mistake while brewing the potion, but you remember very well how often you took Felix Felicis, and you know that an overdose leads to carelessness, recklessness and dangerous overconfidence. You close your eyes and you press your lips tightly together.
