- "Sirius sustained a bad bite from a silver snuffbox; within seconds, his bitten hand had developed an unpleasant crusty covering like a tough brown glove."
- — Sirius Black after having came into contact with this box[src]
This silver snuffbox was located in the drawing room inside 12 Grimmauld Place. It was filled with Wartcap Powder and would attempt to bite anyone who touched it.[1]
History[]
In August of 1995, during the summer clean-up of the house along with the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius Black was bitten by a snuffbox filled with Wartcap Powder. After a few seconds a disgusting brown crust covered his entire hand from direct exposure to the powder. Sirius instantly healed his injured hand, and tossed the box aside, although George Weasley picked it up and placed it in his pocket after wrapping his hand in cloth.[1]
