Okay but what if all of the potions edits in Snape’s old textbook were just things he overheard James say in potions class because “no Padfoot you crush the bean! Cutting it doesn’t do anything! Trust me my dad told me”
Ravenclaws probably have, overall as a house, the worst grades in the school tbh.
i feel as though ravenclaws would have driven Hermione Granger up a wall they neVER DO THEIR HOMEWORK??? I though this was the smart house???? and Ravenclaws are like yeah kay but GET THIS DID YOU KNOW AN ANIMAGUS - but potions homework - who even CARES about potions right now I’m researching this COOLER THING uncouple the idea of ‘smart’ with the idea of ‘good at school’
I bet for the professors teaching Ravenclaws is like herding cats away from empty boxes.
Older Ravenclaws have finely honed the art of asking just the right argumentative questions to direct their teacher onto an entire-class-session-long tangent about something entirely irrelevant to the course material.
HARRY POTTER HISTORY MEME: [2] inventions ➝ The Love Potion.
Love Potions ostensibly cause the drinker to fall in love with the person who gave him or her the potion. However, true love cannot be produced through artificial means, and thus the feelings that Love Potions create are more like obsession than affection. The effect that a Love Potion has will wear off over time. In order to maintain the potion’s effect, the giver must continually administer doses, or else the recipient may “fall out of love” with him or her. A single dose typically lasts up to 24 hours, but the precise duration is dependent on the weight of the drinker, as well as the attractiveness of the giver. Laverne de Montmorency invented a number of different Love Potions in the 1800s. Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes sold a whole “range” of Love Potions in 1996, including Cupid Crystals, Kissing Concoction, Beguiling Bubbles and Twilight Moonbeams, further suggesting that there is more than one kind, possibly each with its own unique effect.
one day i want to be able to afford to be able to make those fancy fruity cocktails at home
i can tell i’m getting “old” in terms of college students because i’ve shifted from wanting to get blasted on jungle juice to wanting to learn how to make cocktails that involve things like elderflower liqueur
- Enjolras: Tonight I'm making cocktails
- Grantaire: Wait, seriously?? What kind
- Enjolras: Molotav.
In Wizard Heaven
- Sirius: You know, it's funny. Your ancestor helped create fundamental healing potions, your father invented a popular hair potion. What the hell did you create?
- James: The saviour of the wizarding world.
