After an evening secretly drinking with the pact in the woods I noticed the amazing effects the alcohol had on me in combination with the potion. It was just like I was high, but without actually being high. My eyes didn’t turn red and I didn’t stink of smoke. My pain is gone and I feel like my old self, only with a Dark Mark. I see the point the Dark Lord is trying to make and he is right. It all makes sense, witches and wizards are greatly outnumbered by Muggles.
