"Teach them a lesson", Lily responded with a steely determination in her voice. She drank the vile-looking liquid all in one go and wiped her mouth with her robes. Then, boldly, she pushed through the spiked brambles and made her way into the clearing. Albus was too afraid to try and stop her. If a dementor got too close it would suck the soul from your mouth like a straw and leave a hollow husk in its place. That night, even Lily knew she had gone a step too far, but she was confident the potion would work. Already she could feel its effects working. Each footstep felt lighter and lighter, her head became giddy with a flood of ecstasy, and her mouth had a strong taste of chocolate. In fact, she felt too light and lost her footing on an outstretched branch. The noise of it alerted the dementors, who descended on her in full force. Lily saw the swirling figures looming ominously above, but she felt too giddy to heed them any attention. She was so high she almost forgot that she needed to actually cast a Patronus spell to get rid of them before they gave her the kiss of death.
