Harry walked deeper into the dungeons down to the last lab, he pushed it open and raised an eyebrow. It was the one he used with Sal when they worked together, he hadn't been here in a while as he didn't need too; it was good to be back. Harry set up a cauldron and quickly made up a hair loss potion, while it was simmering, he snapped his fingers for his notepad and jotted down ideas to change the potion. He needed the potion to activate when the old fool was asleep and he wanted it to be untraceable, Harry had a few ideas before he came to the calculation of the formula. With a smirk, he began adding the necessary ingredients and stirring the potion, he was about to add the final ingredient, a little bit of powdered root of asphodel when the door was thrown open making him jump and pour the entire contents of the container in.

"Shit." He cursed as the cauldron erupted spraying its contents everywhere. Harry only got up the shield because he didn't use a wand. The people who burst in, whom he recognized as Warrington and a Ravenclaw 6th year, weren't so lucky and got covered."

"What in Merlin's name do you think you're doing!" Harry yelled at them, furiously.

"Ew, what is this." The Ravenclaw squealed trying to get it out of her head and face, she ran her hand through her hair when it broke off and Harry's eyes widened before he hastily covered his laughter.

"It's an experimental potion." He told her instead.

"What does it do?"

"Hair loss." He shrugged casually, she checked her hair and screamed when it came of on her hands.

"What the fuck have you done?" She shrieked and Harry scoffed.

"Me?" he said in disbelief. "You're the stupid idiots who burst into a potions lab."

"You shouldn't be experimenting; you don't know what you're doing." She shouted at him in rage. Harry's eyebrows shot up in disbelief. He does not know what to do in potions? That was the most ridiculous thing he had heard.

"Of course, I know what I'm doing."

"You're only a measly first year, what do you know?" She sneered. Harry shot a look at Warrington who just shrugged resigned to his fate of premature baldness.

"Oh, my mistake, it's a shame this measly first year won't bother to try and counter the accident." Harry spat. "Stupid bitch can go around bald, now get out of my lab." She ran off wailing and Warrington laughed.

"Sorry about that, Hadrian."

Harry waved him off.

"Not my problem, I was telling the truth, it was an experimental potion so I don't know when it will wear off. When it does, you'll be able to magic your hair back." He told the older Snake, who grinned.

"Thank Merlin." He left quietly and Harry began again, he had to snap his fingers for his own asphodel and powder it on the desk. This time when he added the final ingredients, no one burst in and he managed to add the correct amount and stirred in until it came to the estimated yellow color.

"Brilliant." He allowed it to cool before bottling up and clearing up the lab. He had more to clear up thanks to his interruption and Harry made sure he had vanished all the split potion, he was sure it wasn't harmful just more potent.

As it was now it had to be ingested to take affect and if everything went to plan, the old fool would enough ingest enough throughout the day before he went to bed. Harry grinned to himself and bagged the phials; he left the lab and went back to Snape's office to inform him that he was finished. He cast tempus and saw that he had missed; which was no surprise and he had about an hour and a half until dinner. Harry made his way back to the common room, the rest of the first-year boys had taken up a shop and Harry flashed them a grin.
