On your way to the office, you will be intercepted by Garrett Weasley with an unexpected request. He will suggest that you seize the moment and grab an additional ingredient for him — a fvuper feather, which he needs for his own experiment.

Your choice: agree to help Garrett or refuse. If you decide to help, take the pen and give it to him.

Completion of cooking

Once you have gathered the necessary ingredients, return to your cauldron in the classroom. Select the Edurus potion and wait for the timer to finish. While you wait, Garrett’s potion will explode spectacularly. When the timer reaches zero, take the finished elixir and talk to Professor Sharp.

If you helped Garrett, the professor will reprimand you. However, honestly admitting your involvement will allow you to avoid serious consequences — Sharp will forgive your mistake.

After receiving praise for successfully brewing potions, the quest will end.
