He wondered if you could buy it from a chemist. He checked further and found it was available at Muggle so-called health food stores. He recalled there was one in Edinburgh because he had purchased something there when he was a student and the health food movement was just getting started. He would need to consult the telephone directory when he got there as there were many more stores by now. He decided he would visit Edinburgh this weekend and ask Harry and Lily to go with him. They could have a day out without worrying about running into Potter or Black.
After his last class of the day, he went up to the fourth floor to Lily's quarters. She admitted him and called her elf, Ninnia to bring tea. Lily poured the tea and handed Severus a cup. "What's up, Sev?"
"After I came back to my quarters last night; Mad-Eye floo-called me and asked me to floo over to Grimmauld Place." He went on to explain what Kreacher had revealed and what his research uncovered so far. "I am planning to floo to Edinburgh on Saturday to find activated charcoal and I thought you and Harry would enjoy coming with me. We could have a day out without worrying about running into Potter and Black."
"That sounds wonderful! I know I would enjoy it and I'm sure Harry will too as neither of us have ever been to Edinburgh."
"Good. We will leave immediately after breakfast."
James and Sirius were casting a series of spells quickly, seeing who could get their shield up the fastest and avoid getting hit by the others spells. After being caught three times, once by a Jelly-Legs Jinx and had his wand ripped out of his grasp twice by an Expelliarmus, Sirius held up a hand. "Okay, Prongs, that was great! You've gotten much faster."
"You think I'll be able to pass the tests for re-entrance into the Auror Corp in two weeks, Pads?"
"Well, I'll keep working with you right up until the day of the tests. Mad-Eye's the one who conducts them and you know what a hardass he is."
"Yeah, him and that 'constant vigilance' crap like he thinks a Death Eater's going to jump out of every dustbin we pass and attack us."
"Best to show him you follow his rule of thumb religiously," Sirius advised.
The floo in the library sounded and James went in to see who it was. Sirius followed behind him. Albus head was sitting in the flames. "Come on through, Albus," James said. "We've been practicing defense, but we're going to quit and have lunch."
Albus stepped out of the fireplace and followed James and Sirius into the dining room. The elves were just finishing up getting food and drink on the table. They disappeared with a pop back into the kitchen. James smiled. Ever since he'd laid down the law to those lazy elves and told them they would be getting clothes if they didn't do a better job; they were almost frantic in making sure things were exactly the way he wanted them to be.
Albus poured himself a cup of tea and said, "I'm afraid I have some bad news, James. I consulted with my good friend, Nicolas Flamel, and he said there was no way the blood adoption could be reversed – at least not without possible genetic damage."
"Well then I'm going to disinherit Harry," James declared. "I'm not going to have a son that looks like Snivellus!"
"Now James, let's not be hasty," Albus said. "Harry's still your son no matter what his appearance."
"Yeah?" James replied. "I'm beginning to wonder if he was ever my son."
"You mean you think Lily was screwing around with Snivvy behind your back, Prongs?" Sirius asked.
"From what I know now; it wouldn't surprise me," James insisted stubbornly.
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves here," Albus said. "I'm sure Harry is your son, James. But what is important is the prophecy that says Harry is the only one who can defeat Voldemort."
Both James and Sirius winced at the pronouncement of the evil wizard's name. "If Snivvy keeps babying Harry and making him into a boring bookworm; he'll never be ready to defeat You-Know-Who," Sirius said.
"Not to mention that my former wife is backing everything Snivellus is doing," James growled.
"It will be difficult; I won't pretend to you that it will not be, but we must continue our effort to make sure Harry is ready to fight Voldemort when he returns or the wizarding world as we know it will be lost."
"But now we have to fight both Snivellus and Lily," James complained. "We won't be able to get near Harry much less teach him how to fight."
"I suspect things will change once Harry gets older and definitely once Voldemort returns. I believe he'll be coming to us wanting our guidance."
"Why do you say that, Albus?" James asked.
"I'll keep that to myself for now," Albus replied.
Severus, Lily, and Harry flooed to the wizarding section of Edinburgh on Saturday morning. It was called Arbuthnot Wynd. They were headed into Muggle Edinburgh and Harry was disappointed not to be able to look around, but Severus promised Harry they would come back once school was out.
"Maybe Draco, Aunt Cissa, and Uncle Luc can come with us then," Harry said.
"I think they would enjoy that," Severus answered. They made their way into Muggle Edinburgh where Severus consulted a phone directory at the nearest call box to get a list of the health food stores. When they arrived at the first one, he was delighted to find activated charcoal that was in a liquid form. He bought all they had which was ten bottles. That would make it much easier as he could spell the liquid into the stomach of whoever drank the potion rather than trying to get them to eat activated charcoal in its granule form.
They had lunch in a restaurant that specialized in Scottish gourmet and then returned to Hogwarts.
"Dad, what do you need this activated charcoal for?" Harry asked as they sat down to dinner. They were having dinner in Severus' quarters. After dinner Severus took his coffee and Lily her tea into the living room and sat down in front of the fireplace.
"Do you recall the first day of school after you had seen the paper and I explained why you were famous?"
