I have made three batches of the potion before he dismisses me. He did not look up once to watch me work, he didn’t even check if I did it right. All he did was ignore me and read his book. His book  Potions of Our Time must have been more interesting than watching me brew potions. At least he didn’t criticize me and it was actually nice to work in silence and only focusing on it, taking my mind off other things.
