"You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making."

Snape gave a sneer while looking at everyone at his entrance, his robes bellowed behind to match him.

Tracy whispered to me "That is the smoke funk dark magical style. Featured in witches weakly as one of three iconic styles of all history. Though it may be classic, he should get on with times."

Seriously? There is a wizarding fashion trend, and it seems to be followed by them. Snape gave a sharp look towards me. Hey, it's not me dude.

"As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through the human veins, bewitching the minds, ensnaring the senses... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even stopper death — if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually must teach."

Then he started to take attendance, something I valued the most in college and used by my professors against me.

Ah, yes, ' he said softly, 'Harry Potter. Our new – celebrity.' His black eyes lost all their warmth. They were cold and empty.

Draco Malfoy and his friends Crabbe and Goyle sniggered behind their hands. I, while admiring his skills in potions and magic, know the truth is that he has serious issues regarding Harry.

A child born from the Women he loved all his life and the bully who tormented him throughout Hogwarts. In fact, I believe that bullying pushed him towards the death eaters. The ones in open hostility to Potters back then.

In the end the child is also the one who was prophesied to end a Dark lord. The information of the Prophecy has been found by him and gave it to the Dark lord who selected the love of his life and bully. So, he betrayed a dark lord and begged the headmaster. After Voldemort killed the mentioned parents and disappeared. He swore a vow to protect Harry. So, Snape doesn't know where to place harry in his mind.

I don't mind saying it again, but he has serious issues regarding Harry.

"Potter!" said Snape suddenly. "What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"

Harry glanced at Ron, who looked as stumped as he was; Hermione's hand had shot into the air.

"I don't know, sir," said Harry. Snape's lips curled into a sneer. "Tut, tut – fame clearly isn't everything." He ignored Hermione's hand. "Let's try again. Potter, where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar?"

That was in the first chapter of Potions textbook of year one.

As if to prove it to me, Hermione stretched her hand as high into the air as it would go without her leaving her seat.

"I don't know, sir."

"Thought you wouldn't open a book before coming, eh, Potter?"

According to the books, Harry got flashback to Dursleys from the interaction with Snape.

Snape was still ignoring Hermione's quivering hand. "What is the difference, Potter, between monkshood and wolfsbane?" At this, Hermione stood up, her hand stretching towards the dungeon ceiling.

"I don't know, " said Harry quietly. "I think Hermione does, though, why don't you try her?"

A few people laughed; Harry caught Seamus's eye and Seamus winked. Normally , I would give someone a pat on the back if they made a joke on the asshole teacher. But now I am worried.

Yup, Now I am sure Snape's mental scale settled on Harry as James potter's son. And thus, the relation between them is destroyed without any hope remaining.

"Sit down," he snapped at Hermione. "For your information, Potter, asphodel, and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death. A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons. As for monkshood and wolfsbane, they are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite. Well? Why aren't you all copying that down?"

There was a sudden rummaging for quills and parchment. Over the noise, Snape said, "And a point will be taken from Gryffindor house for your cheek, Potter."

As the Potions lesson continued, Snape put them all into pairs and set them to mixing up a simple potion to cure boils. He swept around in his long black cloak, watching them weigh dried nettles and crush snakes.

[Cure for Boils potions:

Part 1

1. Add 6 snake fangs to the mortar.

2. Crush into a fine powder using a pestle.

3. Add 4 measures of the crushed fangs to your cauldron.

4. Heat the mixture to 250 for 10 seconds.

5. Wave your wand.

6. Leave to brew and return in 33-45 minutes.

Part 2

1. Add 4 horned slugs to your cauldron.

2. Take the cauldron off the fire before adding the next ingredient.

3. Add 2 porcupine quills to your cauldron.

4. Stir 5 times, clockwise.

5. Wave your wand to complete the potion.]

Now this is the textbook recipe, but I didn't spend the entire night in ROR for nothing. After instructing Jakrey, I spent the entire night adding advance Potions books. For example, a book of potions written by Zygmunt Budge, has composition of particularly potent and complex potions.

It's a pity I couldn't read the original, it apparently has a stored equipment worth thousands of galleons and even acts as a Portkey upon full mastery to an enchanted garden filled with rare magical ingredients. The book can even send the smells and feels for potions of the original author.

The original is in restricted section of Hogwarts library while ROR could copy the knowledge it can't copy unique features of these books. While most banned by Headmaster are not even shown in ROR.

AI compiles a new recipe based on my current skill.

[Compiling done.

1. Add crushed snake fangs to your cauldron and stir.

2. Slice your Pungous Onions finely and place in cauldron, then heat the mixture.

3. Add dried nettles.

4. Add a dash of Flobberworm Mucus and stir vigorously.

5. Add a sprinkle of powdered ginger root and stir vigorously again.

6. Add pickled Shrake spines.

7. Stir gently, so as not to overexcite the Shrake spines.

8. Add a glug of stewed horned slugs.

9. Add porcupine quills.

10. Finally, wave your wand over the cauldron to finish the potion]

Potion making is like chemistry with knowledge of pharmacology to make a drug but with magic added and additional properties to ingredients.

I immediately started collecting the materials and each prompt helped me identify the best quality ingredient and helped me memorize them.

[Flobberworm Mucus, was the slimy green mucus exuded from the Flobberworm, often used to thicken potions.]

The new recipe added smelly pungus onions who catalyzes the reaction between snake fang and dried neetles reducing the time but increased the volatility.

Flobberwom mucus is added to reduce the volatility and increase the duration of mixing.

Ginger, shark spines and stewed horn slugs increase the potency.

Porcupine quills are added to re increase the volatility of potion after removal from flame , the wave of wand completely fuses the remaining parts and magics of ingredients, which in the process of potions making got imbibed with the intent to cure boils from different rods and cauldron.

That's the potion equipment of potions masters is in demand , each are customized for removing entire parts of recipe from the process and help in Potion making.

I soon completed the potion and waited for Snape to come to my side but saw him harassing the Gryffindor's. Though they made genuine mistakes, Snapes way of delivering the info is not suited for kids. Well, Snape managed to terrify Neville.

Neville had melted Seamus's cauldron into a twisted blob and their potion was seeping across the stone floor, burning holes in people's shoes. Within seconds, the whole class were standing on their stools while Neville, who had been drenched in the potion when the cauldron collapsed, moaned in pain as angry red boils sprang up all over his arms and legs.

"Idiot boy!" snarled Snape, clearing the spilled potion away with one wave of his wand.

"I suppose you added the porcupine quills before taking the cauldron off the fire?"

Neville whimpered as boils started to pop up all over his nose.

"Take him up to the hospital wing, " Snape spat at Seamus. Then he rounded on Harry and Ron, who had been working next to Neville.

"You – Potter – why didn't you tell him not to add the quills? Thought he'd make you look good if he got it wrong, did you? That's another point you've lost for Gryffindor."

This was so unfair that Harry opened his mouth to argue, but Ron shut him up and muttered something to shut harry up.

He cleaned the room in a single wave of his wand and started checking again. Soon event he Slytherins were not spared by the lashes. Except there is no removal of points.

As came to table sitting only me and my sample.

"Mr. Prasad, do you need to be specially informed to get yourself a partner?"

I replied, "The number of students were odd numbered but there is no longer any need."

"Why so?"

"I already completed the potion sir."

Snape's eyebrows lifted at that, and he soon started smelling the potion and even ingested it a bit. He nodded back to me.

"25 points for Slytherin for making a perfect cure for Boils."

Well, I can say for sure Due to my AI, my talent for potions is next level. On par with Snape, the youngest potion master in the long history of Wizards.
