The art of Potions, the idea of beverage
In the first hour of the class, Professor Severus Snape taught theoretical knowledge about how to brew the potion "Cure for boils" and the necessary precaution steps to avoid any injuries.
In the second hour of the class, He split the class into groups of two students and let the students brew their first potion. He monitored the students ' every action and reminded students steps to brew the potion successfully.
On the blackboard of the class, the recipe was written in accordance with Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger.
Add crushed snake fangs to your cauldron and stir.
Slice your Pungous Onions finely and place in cauldron, then heat the mixture.
Add dried nettles.
Add a dash of Flobberworm Mucus and stir vigorously.
Add a sprinkle of powdered ginger root and stir vigorously again.
Add pickled Shrake spines.
Stir gently, so as not to overexcite the Shrake spines.
Add a glug of stewed horned slugs.
Add porcupine quills after taking the cauldron off the fire.
Wave your wand over the cauldron to finish the potion.
Anthony was grouped with Harry Potter and they began their potions making.
"Harry remember my business proposal of yesterday?" said Anthony, checking whether Harry is committed to the business.
"Of course Anthony, I think that would be a feasible idea to accomplish, maybe we start selling in Hogwarts, but the only issue is that how can we make the potions. I bet Professor Snape would never let us use his room for our business" said Harry.
Harry Potter and Anthony Lefrancois Dumbledore were natural potioneers where Harry Potter making Dursley's every Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner for around 6 years made him have the superior ability to handle the materials, and on the other hand, Anthony's superior knowledge in Potions, as well as soul age to adapt in a stressful environment, made them a good team.
They have chatted a while meanwhile concentrating to brew Cure for Boils potion.
"Harry, as for the potion brewing location, I have one in mind. But you need tp find someone that has the capability to sell our product in the entire Hogwarts castle and in Hogsmeade" said Anthony.
Anthony and Harry after reaching the final stage of the potions brewing process took of the cauldron from the fire and added porcupine quills and waved over the potion to finish the brewing.
When Professor Snape saw Harry Potter's natural talent in Potions, he mistook him for her mother Lily Potter as if seeing her for one more time. But after realizing it is not Lily Potter but her son, he becomes dazzled and looked towards someone else.
At this moment when Neville Longbottom looked towards Professor Snape, the professor happened to look at him and they had an eye contact. Neville who was suppressing his nervous feelings couldn't hold back and made a mistake. His left hand become weak and accidentally put some porcupine inside the cauldron, right after the porcupine fell into the cauldron on top of the fire, a loud sound of "BOOM!" could be heard.
When Neville Longbottom and Seamus Finnigan's cauldron exploded, many students become shocked and looked towards the two.
Professor Snape who saw the entire process said "Idiot boy! You added the porcupine quills before taking the cauldron off the fire! Ms.Granger and Mr.Weasley you two take them to Hospital Wing!" with a domineering tone.
"Unlike Mr.Longbottom and Finnigan, Harry Potter and Anthony Lefrancois Dumbledore made a well-done Cure for Boil! Ten points to Slytherin" said, Professor Snape.
After several minutes, the potions class ended. When everyone rushed to leave the potions class as fast as they can, Anthony stopped for a while and got near to the Potions master.
"Anything you need Mr.Dumbledore? Perhaps. I can tell you where the exit door is" Said Professor Snape with a stern face.
However, Anthony remained calm and said with a curious tone. "Professor, I have a question regarding potions. Could you please tell me the difference between Muggle medicine and potions if possible"
Professor Snape who heard the question raised his eyebrows. The actual answer to the question is profound and complex. He pondered for a while and said "Every person can make Muggle medicine because even though some Muggle medicine uses various magical herbs, they lack the intention of a Wizard or Witch. But every potion has an additional ingredient than Muggle medicine. It is the will of the Wizard. Therefore, Potions is also a type of spellcasting, but a high difficult one as well. If you and Mr.Potter had the will to make a Perfect Cure for Boil, your potion would become more potent and I would have to give Slytherin twenty academic points a few minutes ago!" Said Professor Snape with a mocking tone.
Anthony who heard that Potions if not just about adding magical herbs in a bizarre order become more interested in Potions. He always wondered whether he could brew magical potions if he had found a wizard's wand and the magical herbs when he was a muggle.
Anthony recalled Professor Snape's first remark when he rushed into the class
/There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. However, for those select few.../
Anthony always thought that Professor Snape was more inclined towards Slytherin students, but the truth is that he favors students who understand the subtle science and exact art of Potion-making! That is the reason why Professor Snape doesn't like Hermione Granger who is a loyal follower of the textbooks. It is because potions is not only a science but a type of art as well!
Anthony appreciated the potion master's explanation and started to realize that the Harry Potter universe is not simple as he thought.
After the potions class, Anthony went into the library with Harry after having lunch. They both registered into the library and were reminded to be quiet in the Library by Librarian Madan Pince.
Anthony collected every Potions book regarding not vital and potent potions and started to read with Harry Potter.
Harry Potter and Anthony were brainstorming about what type of beverage they want to create, whether it should be a potion or not.
But for Anthony, who understood the fundamental principle behind the Potions, convinced Harry Potter that if they want to sell a beverage it should be some kind of potion.
"You know, a famous beverage company named Coca Coia said Open Happiness! Perhaps the famous soda is a potion of Euphoria. So we can do something as well!"
Anthony and Harry flipped through various books to find an idea regarding the beverage they want to produce. They chatted with each other whenever they find a feasible potion.
Anthony casted Muffliato or the Silencing Charm every time before Harry and they need to talk to each other. As for Madam Pince who saw the students talking silently, become surprised by the use of Muffliato. Actually, it was the very first-time students respected the silent environment and found a way to silently speak in the library.
After dozen minutes, when Anthony was flipping through an old leather book, a slip of paper glided down and fell on the floor.
When Anthony reached and took the paper, he found that a Potion No0 was written on it.
Potion No0. by Thomas Smith
20 fl.oz Astragalus
10 fl. oz Red Ginseng
50 fl.oz Pomegranate
2 fl.oz of Sage juice
Waving of Holly wood wand 5 times, clockwise.
Experimentation result - High enhanced stamina, memory, and energy! was said on the slip paper. Seeing the recipe, Harry and Anthony become cheerfully and said that it is the intended potion that they were looking for.
Anthony sent a letter to Randolph Spudmore about his admission to Hogwarts, assignation to Slytherin, and asked about the current situation about the production of Firebolt. He also asked Randolph Spudmore to ask whether Potion No0 is already a patented potion or not.
Early in the morning, Anthony got his reply from Randolph Spudmore along with a wrapped long item.
Dear Anthony,
Congratulation on joining the House of Slytherin! I would say Ravenclaws are better but hey Slytherin are best for their desire for achievement!
I have contacted some Goblins a week ago right after your departure. We have worked hard and we have finished two concept Firebolts! We have conducted various tests and found out that the concept Firebolts can reach one hundred and fifty miles per hour in just eight seconds! The unbreakable charm, nonslipping charm has been added. When we commercially produce, your idea of a private registration number will be added! I believe prior to summer next year, our Firebolt can become commercially available.
By the way, when I went to the Ministry of Magic for your inquiry about a potion patent, I have registered our patent of Firebolt, under the name of Firebolt Company! And about the potion you have mentioned, I went to the Ministry of Magic but found no patent with the same recipe! Hope you are not messing with potions! It is a very dangerous subject of science!
Hope you study hard and have good friends!
Sincerely,
Randolph Spudmore
When Anthony reads the letter he becomes excited. He went to Harry's room and said. "Harry! We can produce the potion in accordance with the recipe! It is not patented!"
