Zygmunt Budge left Hogwarts at fourteen and spent the next decades alone on a Hebridean island mastering potioneering—his resentment at being denied entry to the Wizarding Schools Potions Championship never fully faded.

To win it, the student will need Sirius Black's help and the rarest ingredients available.
