"Oh, I'd say I'm fairly accomplished. I try and make my own, the experimental potions are always the most interesting ones...But, when I'm bored, I like to rework existing potions to see what they can do, where their limits are.

Also, most of the time, the reward is worth the risk when it comes to experimenting," Rabastan drank his firewhiskey and signaled the bartender to get Hermione another drink, handing him money for both drinks.
