Severus lifted the small jar of quicksilver from its shelf. He disliked using it. Even Muggles knew how toxic it was. However, The Dark Lord had commanded a potion to evoke vivid dreams, memory loss, and feelings of depression. The best potion used a dash of mercury.

He couldn’t afford either to fail Voldemort or poison an ally. He’d simply have to craft an antidote, find out who was given the potion, and try to get them to overcome their suspicions and take it. Not an easy task. Just one of the many downsides to being a secret double agent.

Oh, lovely take on Severus' difficult time as a spy. I'd love to know who the potion is for and if Sev ever succeeded in giving them the antidote without exposing himself. :D
