The Unforgivable Draught is a fatal poison created and almost exclusively brewed by Persillia Knoxx. It's Untraceable and unknown to Ministries world wide.

Creation

Persillia Knoxx became obsessed with the idea of the perfect poison. Her home life with emotionally distant and cruel parents fueling the fire. Her drive becoming unparalleled to anything ever seen.


She decided in her early teens what she wanted to do knowing that her and her twin brother would get everything but she bidded her time. She worked and slaved through her last couple years but alas...she was close but still so far. She graduated Hogwarts and began studying to become a Potions Mistress before eventually at the age of Twenty Two she had enough knowledge and knowhow to slip them the potion without being noticed. Something simple. Something deadly. Her completed work of art.

Characteristics And Effects

The potion begins as what amounts to as a black sludge like substance that becomes more refined with each ingredient. Initially smelling of rotten eggs, it's easily identifiable if you know what to look for. Once it beats completion however it becomes clear and begins to smell of fresh strawberries.


The potion is instantaneous. The individual who consumes it expires almost immediately, their body goes cold and it appears their heart has given out.
