Hermione instantly did as was asked of her. Hard work and persistence had won her an apprenticeship with the most reclusive and angry Potions Master in France; Casius Wright's father, Claudius Wright. He had been harsh when she'd come to him, and misogynistic. Having been a student of the Professor Severus Snape had taught her how to handle this man's attitude. She'd begun wondering whether being in a perpetually foul mood was something all great potions masters had in common. He'd been a hard man to please, and he'd taken her on as a "trial" apprentice after she had proven herself by brewing the most complex potion that had been developed in the last decade.
