Harry Potter: Crabbe and Goyle’s Sleeping Draught Cupcakes
I’ve got it all worked out, I’ve filled these with a simple Sleeping Draught. Simple but powerful.
Hermione, Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets
I still have the same thought every time I read or watch this scene from Harry Potter, who would eat cakes they find levitating in the halls?! The answer is obviously, Crabbe and Goyle. Without hesitation, they snatched these tasty cakes and shoved them in their faces like they’ve been starved for weeks. These tasty cakes are filled with a chamomile and honey cream to mimic the sleeping draught that Hermione filled them with. You can obviously substitute the chamomile if that isn’t a flavor you enjoy.
