One among us seven will let you move ahead,
Another will transport the drinker back instead." - — Thepotion riddle in theUnderground Chambers[src]

During the same year,Jacob's sibling andBen Copper created this potion and poured it onto the parchment which contained the Marauders' puzzle, then tossed the parchment into the fire, solving the puzzle.[7]
