Moment 12: The Potion
Late in the night, Snape and his student helper were working over a bubbling cauldron, sweating and irritable.
"Professor, no, that's the last ingredient. It's probably supposed to be green!"
"Miss Granger, I think-" But he stopped. The potion had turned the tell- tale oily black. Snape turned away to hide his tears.
"Professor-" Her voice was cracking. "I think- I think that we- you- did it!"
"You are dismissed, Miss Granger." His voice was unsteady, but it was clear she wasn't wanted.
"Sir-"
"Please go."
As she slipped out the room, Snape's wrenching sobs were left to proclaim their achievement.
