"Now what Nev?" Harry asked grinning when the boy startled at the nickname before smiling back."Three measures of that go into the cauldron, and we wave our wand." he said reading the instructions out loud."And we are done for part one" Harry declared."See, you can do this"Thanks, no one really believed in me before." Neville whispered as they started tidying up their station."Look Nev, screw them. I’ve seen you in Herbology, you are incredible at it. Daphne and Pansy were always telling me about how you would help them last year, with Herbology homework in the library. Just put that into work here."How?" Neville asked in disbelief. "Well Potions is all about the ingredients mixing together to make something new right? A lot of the time we use plants. So use your plant knowledge to know which plant would react badly or correctly with what. The fact that you know things about plants that no-one else in our year knows shows you have brains. Get a book on Potions ingredients and learn about the ones that aren’t plants. You can clearly store knowledge easily, so just learn the ingredients and you will be great before you know it."I never, I didn’t even think about how many of the ingredients are plants" Neville breathed."I mean I knew they were, but it didn’t click you know?"Yeah I know, trust me, after a bit of reading and you will be as good as me" Harry boasted."Well I don’t know about that" Neville chuckled."Want to know a secret?" Harry whispered, Neville nodded eagerly as he leant in."I am only good at Potions because growing up Uncle Sev taught us all about Potions." Harry whispered before winking at the shocked and gaping Gryffindor.
