” You are here to learn the subtle sciense and exact art of potions-making. As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don’t expect you to really understund the beauty of the soft simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate powers of liquids that creep trought human veins, bewithching the mind, ensnaring the senses...I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death-if you aren’t as big bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach.”
-Severus Snape
