    26 - Aderyn Ellis and the Septennial Carmarthen Brewer’s Invitational

    Slughorn secures a coveted invite to an elite potioneering competition for Hogwarts. The boys hate it, Lily loves it, and the Quidditch pitch may never be the same. James and Rho talk about materials, locality, and what constitutes a potion after James spends far too long trying to pronounce Machynlleth with minimal success. Things customarily devolve into Grindledore commentary shortly after.
