Professor Snape,

I have a potions theory that I would like to discuss with you. I will be joining Charlus for his Potions lesson and wish to have a moment of your time for this purpose.

Harry Potter

"But I don't wannaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", Charlus's shrieking voice pierced the ears of everyone in a one mile vicinity.

This had been going on for four hours.

Percy and Harry were sure they had gone deaf at some point.

He gets to step foot in a potions lab! And not just any potions lab, the lab of the youngest potions master in the last century! Harry ranted.

That was the 10th time you said that, Percy huffed but he was also very annoyed at their brother. He gets to use a potions lab! A potions lab! Honestly, it was torture to know their brother was using a lab and not appreciating every second of it while they weren't allowed to even touch a cauldron! The only reason they were even here was because the manor was going under some renovations and the people who did them said that no child would be allowed in the vicinity. And they were adamant about that.

So now they were here.

At least they had the chance to talk to Professor Snape about their new theory.

"Charlie-kins, it's only for a day. Don't worry sweet pea I didn't like potions either", Lily squeezed his cheeks and cooed.

Harry and Percy felt sick.

"Plus, Snivellous is a git", James commented, smiling at his son and wife.

"Now, knock on the door", Lily cooed again, patting him on the head.

Impatient, Harry discreetly raised a knuckle and knocked on the wooden door.

Professor Snape appeared in the doorway a minute later, a scowl on his face.

"Come in", he muttered coldly.

Well, safe to say he doesn't like the Potter family, Percy commented.

Harry rolled his eye as he followed his family through the door, No duh. Well, except us. I hope.

"Professor Snape", Harry said as they passed by him.

"Harry", Professor Snape muttered again but lacking the coldness of before.

They smiled.

"Sit down", Professor Snape mumbled as soon as the Potter family was through the door. An eerie feeling arose at his tone. He sounded like the calm before the storm.

He always was dramatic, Harry snickered in their mind.

"Shut up you ugly bat!" Charlus shouted as if it was such an impressive insult. Lily and James seemed to think so as they started the laugh, patting Charlus on the back.

Severus's lip curled, "What, Potter, would I get with the infusion of wormwood and asphodel?"

Draught of Living Death, duh. This is like on the second chapter of Potions Menageries, Percy rolled his eye.

"I don't know. Why would anyone even need to know this", Charlus puffed out his chest at his "amazing insult".

"Well, Potter, if you deem this unimportant then you do not need to be in this potions class", Professor Snape scowled. "But since I am on Dumbledore's orders, you will read" He plopped down a textbook "this book". Charlus seemed to be intimidated by this point.

Severus Snape turned around and seemed to be heading towards his potions lab. But in the doorway, he stopped. "The other Potter. Come. with. me".

Percy and Harry shared mental smiles, standing up and following the professor down a hallway.

Lily, James, and Charlus didn't even look up.

We actually do get to be in a lab! Percy looked around with awe on his features. The lab was beautiful.

Back to business Perce, we can ask Professor Snape if we can use the lab later, Harry replied.

He took out a pen and their potions notebook that had "Twin Soul Potions Notebook" written in Greek on the cover of the book.

He immediately started talking, "I have a theory to use food for some potions. Like the properties of a banana peel improves skin and I think, if you throw it in with a snake fang and clove, you could make a wrinkle-lessening potion". Harry ratted off the notes he and Percy made, "Perhaps an addition of peppermint as well with 3 and one fourth clockwise stirs after adding the fang and one anticlockwise stir to neutralize the clove. The banana peel would then be added afterwards".

Severus was once again flabbergasted at this boy. He was over here making ground-breaking discoveries at the age of 5. Severus quickly composed himself, "Perhaps. I must say that no Potions master has ever tried to add any kind of food to potions".

"Yes well. Banana skins have skin benefits. Muggles rub them on their faces. The wrinkle potion would have to be applied the same way", Harry tapped the pen on the table. "I'm thinking that 7 stirs clockwise and slowly added peppermint would neutralize the potion and get rid of some of the chemicals on the banana peel that could have become explosive with the snake fang and clove combination". Harry wrote it down in the notebook.

Getting over his shock at the intelligence of this boy, Severus contributed to the discussion, "Perhaps a newt's eye should be added after finishing the stirs".

Percy and Harry thought about it as Harry unconsciously tapped a tune on the table. Damn ADHD, "Yes... that could neutralize potential ethylene and wouldn't do anything to the potion if there isn't any". He wrote it down. "Anything else you think I should add?"

"We just need to add two counter-clockwise stirs afterwards and leave the potion to simmer for some time", Severus mused. "I will leave the banana in magical water to see how long it would take to be absorbed".

"It takes 31 minutes and 5 seconds", Harry replied. They had spent a whole day asking Pippy to grab whole bowls fruit and testing absorption in magical water.

Once again startled at the intellect and preparation of the young Potter, Severus blinked at him for a second before clearing his throat, "I will test and send the potion to the ministry by next week. You may now leave. The allotted time of an hour for your brother's potions lesson is over".

"See you again next week Sev", Harry and Percy mentally snickered at the affronted expression on the Potions Master's face.

"The potion is a success", Severus commented. He had applied the wrinkle charm on himself and took the potion, watching as his added wrinkles faded away along with the ones he had acquired from years of spying and stress. They were all just... gone.

"Great!" Percy smiled, fidgeting with his thumbs.

"And sir?" He said as Severus looked up. "May I use your potions lab please? To test out potions? I've never used one".

Pausing for a second, Severus replied, "Don't blow it up".

Percy and Harry smiled.

Oh my god, we're on the front page of Witch Weekly! Percy snickered as he stared at the article about their new potion. And the Daily Prophet, as expected. But seriously, Witch Weekly!

Shut up, our potion is technically a beauty potion. It's expected. Also, I told you it was a good idea to subscribe to all the newspapers, The two of them were able to use their trust fund to have the subscriptions.

Percy rolled his eye, Yes, I know, you are totally amazing and awesome and blah blah blah. Happy?

Very, Harry replied.

Twin Soul in the Beauty World!

Twin Soul, a recent potions master or mistress that cropped up a month ago in the Daily Prophet has founded a wrinkle-lessening potion that has been named Wrinkleless! With the help of Severus Snape, he or she was able to share this with all of us!

Honestly, I can't wait to go home and use this. Your girl is growing lines on her face!

Twin Soul, whoever you are, all of us old woman love you!:3

To see speculation about Twin Soul go to page 5.

They even have another article about us! Percy snorted.

Well, Daily Prophet did too. Though their speculation is considerably more innocent than Witch Weekly's, Harry shivered as he read the um... complimentary description of them.

Witch Weekly was fun to write. Lol. I've already done a Daily Prophet article so I thought it would've been fun to try this instead.

P.S. This potions lesson was only a month after the party not a year. Typo sorry.
