Sean silently reviewed the contents of his notes.
Professor Sprout had not only taught him how to process Southern Ginger, but also how to handle Wood Sorrel, Mugwort, and Aloe Juice.

Until—
"Hogsmeade Week is still a month away... Oh, actually, it was only on my second trip to Hogsmeade Village that I learned this was the only place in Britain without Muggles—"
