Pioneering Potions Master Plans Apothecary
By William Rosier, Staff Writer
A new apothecary is set to open its doors this year, with none other than respected potion master Severus Snape behind it. Regulars at Arsenic and Old Lace, potion masters, and discerning members of the general public alike should have heard of the highly regarded potioneer by now. Well known for the high quality of his potions, frequent publications, and his rapid success, Severus Snape has long been at the forefront of cutting edge innovations in the art of potion making. This story breaks in the early stages, but plans are in place for the apothecary to open by the end of the year, possibly as early as this summer. Various locations are under consideration, but all within easy access as both public favourites of London and Hogsmeade are high on the list. With so many apothecaries in the market, it can be hard to have one stand out. But Snape has plans to
	bring his signature pioneering spirit to the business, bringing customers potions they won't be able to procure elsewhere. Moving away from stock preparations that can be found in any shop, Snape's apothecary will look to provide customers with more nuanced draughts. Those who follow developments in the potions society will of course have heard of his work in manipulating potions to coincide with a wizard's own magical signature. This personalized crafting of potions not only reminds us that the profession is an art, but will cut down on side effects or adverse	reactions. "If you can match the potion to the wizard, it will be much more effective," Snape explains. Snape's new shop will join quality apothecaries such as Montgomery's Potions and Snape's current employer, Arsenic and Old Lace. Detailed plans for the shop are still in the works and more news will arrive as they come together, but the discerning customer will no doubt have something to look forward to this year.
