** Romilda Vane and a few other girls who have crushes on Harry offer him Chocolate Cauldrons filled with love potion at a party, but he turns them down because Hermione warned him of their intentions beforehand. He leaves them lying around but forgets about them, which causes trouble when [[BigEater Ron]] finds and eats them.

Young Tom Riddle, the future Voldemort, gifted him a box of it in order to flatter him into revealing information about [[SoulJar Horcruxes]]. This would become the moment Slughorn regretted most in his life, as it led to the death of one of his favorite protégés, Harry's mother Lily.
