With the start of her second year at Hogwarts, Winona was eager to not only brew more potions but also to actually try them. She could not possibly ask someone to be her test subject, so the Slytherin steered towards finding a more creative way.
There she was, walking slowly around the courtyard, her casual Slytherin robes and big glasses making the short girl look like a harmless nerd. In her hands was a plate full of little cookies, just a stack of perfectly innocent snacks. Except for the couple that she spiked with her little potions. The one on the furthest left side of the plate had the Pompion Potion, and the one in the middle had the Confusing Concoction... Or was it the other way around? The cookies all looked the same, and Winona completely forgot which ones had the potions. All she knew was that none of the students she had offered cookies to so far had shown any signs, so the ones she messed with were still on the plate.
When she saw a Hufflepuff girl, assumingly around the same age as her, minding her own business, Winona knew she had to go and offer her a chance at either becoming an unlucky test subject or enjoying a harmless snack. With a friendly smile that she was not very used to having on her face, she approached the girl. "Hi, I baked some cookies for the first time. Would you like to try some?" she said with a soft voice while holding out the plate.

A Mischievous Experiment

For the whole month of September, I was intent on focusing less on all the academic worries of school and on my homework, and more on getting out of the castle, as well as my own physical and mental well-being. I kind of, sort of did the very opposite during my first year, which was why I was switching it now. I was focusing on the things I screwed up on in my first year and fixing them so that this year would be even more enjoyable.
I went outside and into the courtyard of the castle, holding a notepad and a pen, intending to not have my nose in a book, especially my favourite book, which I wouldn't be using a whole lot until my 3rd year, I think. So, I wouldn't be reading. Well, unless it was required. I sat down on the base of the large fountain, the one with those four griffins sitting on it. I was suddenly struck with inspiration and decided to write a poem about the fountain.
10 minutes later, I had only gotten so far as "Stone streets sprawling across grassy gardens" when I heard a low voice near me. "Hi, I baked some cookies for the first time. Would you like to try some?" I turned to see a girl holding a plate of cookies. She was around my age and honestly, she looked kind of nerdy. Well, you had me at baked. I loved cookies, and surely a little snack or 5 wouldn't hurt. "Oh yes, thank you!" I replied. I took one of the cookies, the one in the middle, and bit into it.

Winona could barely contain her anticipation as she watched the girl in front of her take a bite of the cookie, which was, if she remembered correctly, the one she had carefully prepared with the confusing concoction. Her hazel eyes sparkled with a mixture of surprise and excitement, wondering how the effects would unfold.
Trying her absolute best to hide her cruel enthusiasm by masking it with a façade of innocent curiosity, Winona continued to speak, "What do you think? Does it taste nice?" As the cute redhead chewed the cookie, Winona's eyes remained fixed on her, searching for any changes in her behavior. She could feel her heart race with anticipation, wondering if her potion would work as intended.
However, she also tried her best to put on a friendly demeanor. "You can have more if you'd like." she said with a warm smile. Observing any signs of the potion's effects would be the ultimate reward for her clandestine efforts. She knew from the first-year lessons that the confusing concoction's main effect was paranoia, but for now, it was hard to imagine how severe it could be or how long the effects could last. Her mind raced with thoughts of how the girl's behavior might change.
Maybe if she were not so interested in the topic, Winona could feel guilty about testing on a random person like this. However, according to her, learning came before ethics.
