It is on the left side of the second shelf—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean paused, looked up at the high shelf, and then used the Levitation Charm to carefully bring down the glass jar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your impoverished vision can only collect inferior materials;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>next time I see you using those inferior materials to profane exquisite potions...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean Green—you had better get out of my dungeons in advance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean naturally ignored Professor Snape's sarcasm, slightly stunned—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What strange occurrence was this?

Few wizards were clever enough to record every detail of his potion brewing during class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Constant imitation and constant correction were nearly the universal path to success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wizard before him was not a Potions genius, but could be called a solitary student who equally loved Potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape had casually observed him;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he cared nothing for interpersonal relations, caring only for the cauldron before him. Such a demeanor made it hard for Snape not to see shadows of the boy from Spinner's End.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with those stupid Gryffindors creating stupid explosions in Potions class,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>especially Harry Potter, who actually failed to stop his idiot friends in advance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clearly a provocation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the brows of Professor Snape, often furrowed tight from mockery and dissatisfaction, eased slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cauldron bubbled with a gurgle, the thick liquid gradually turning dark green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean focused intently on controlling the heat; the cauldron control techniques from Master Libatius Borage could nearly elevate the quality of the potion by a leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this caused Professor Snape's pupils to contract:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did you learn such heat control? I do not recall teaching you this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean's heart tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that Professor Snape did not approve of Master Libatius Borage's philosophy on heat control?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean remembered that in the original story, when Professor Snape used Master Borage's book, he had made extensive annotations within it to improve the potion-making methods described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Advanced Potion-Making, Professor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Snape sneered coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The heat in the final step was too low, and the stirring direction in step three was reversed.
