A Likely Story
Apothecaria
- Story Summary:
- The first chapter of this story was written as a reply to the "Highly Unlikely" challenge on The Potion's Master's Muse. This Christmas-themed challenge involved having the Potions master do something highly out of character while keeping him as in character as possible. As the story continues after Christmas, it travels from twelve, Grimmauld Place to Muggle London to Hogwarts with a multitude of canon characters. There's some politics and some romance, with the emphasis always being on a snarky Snape. It takes place parallel with OoP and slightly beyond.
