who seemed indifferent to him disparagingly referred to him as fungus face due to his less than ideal looks but despite this lack of maternal affection Zigman faced Solace and inspiration in the company of his great-grandmother a distressingly giggly witch whose cheerful disposition was a sharp contrast to zigman's more serious temperament and it was this same great grandmother who had a keen interest in potion making that passed down to Young Zigman an old recipe for the Laughing potion unknowingly altering the course of zigman's life because you see it was this gift that sparked zigman's lifelong passion for the craft of potion making after receiving the gift Zigman vowed to refine the potion setting the stage for his future as one of the greatest potion makers in history when the time came and Zigman was old enough he began his studies at Hogwart School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where he was sorted into an unknown house because budge had been drawn to the art of Elixir and concoctions from a young age he wasn't very popular with his peers and when the time came for him to attend Hogwarts he had already grown accustomed to the cruel jeers and taunts that other children would cast his way but Zigman who had aspirations of being the greatest potioneer to have ever lived used this adversity as fuel for his determination his early experiences of ridicule only strengthened his resolve to prove himself through his Mastery of potions at Hogwarts he immersed himself in every aspect of potion making spending countless hours in the library studying ancient texts and experimenting in the dungeons which is probably why you won't be surprised to hear that at the age of 14 in his third or fourth year Zigman was top of his class in potions excelling in a way unlike any other student before and on one occasion his height of expertise was put on display for all when he confidently corrected his Professor on the proper use of mled Malika tales in potion making fueled by his ambition and confidence in his abilities hudge felt ready to Showcase his talent on a larger stage and sought permission from the Hogwarts head Master to participate in the Wizarding school's potions Championship The Wizarding schools potions Championship is a highly esteemed competition that has been held every seven years since 1407 held in a special Enchanted Garden the competition brings together aspiring potion makers from different visiting schools who must demonstrate their skills by completing various challenges and brewing potions think was a tournament but for potions the only issue to qualify for the championship participants must be at least 17 years old therefore budger plans were thwarted when the Headmaster denied his request ziting his young age and the dangerous nature of the competition as reasons for his exclusion this decision triggered a wave of frustration and anger within budge leading him to make a drastic choice in a bold Act of defiance he decided to abruptly withdraw from school in protest against the headmaster's ruling for budge this pivotal moment marked a turning point in his relationship with Hogwarts the institution that he felt was stifling his potential and inhibiting his growth as a skilled potioneer despite the repercussions of his abrupt departure budge remained firm in his conviction that he had outgrown the constraints of Hogwarts and embraced the path of Independence and self-discovery this decision ultimately shaped Bud's future solidifying his reputation as a wizard who was unafraid to challenge conventions and Forge his own way in the World of Magic as I've said it was my life's dream to win The Wizarding school's potions Championship when I judged that I was ready I was 14 years old top of my year in potions and able to correct my professor on the proper use of mackled malaw tales I asked my Headmaster for permission to enter but alas imagine my horror and disgust when he forbade me because I was not yet 17 and the competition was too dangerous after leaving Hogwarts Zigman relocated to a secluded island called hermit tray in the outer herdes there he lived in a rat infested Shack with only a flock of sheep for company occasionally using them for potion testing and it was on her atray that Zigman spent the remainder of his life conducting experiments refining formulas and inventing new concoctions these concoctions included the beautification potion a potion that transformed the appearance of the Drinker making them seem to be attractive even if they were not at least it's only temporary imagine spending your life attracting hordes of pouring admirers ug a repellent thought dox asde a black colored foul smelling potion used to paralyze and spray doxies the Laughing potion a potion that as you might have guessed induced laughter in the Drinker a potion to induce uncontrollable mert a finely balanced potion requiring delicacy of touch if made incorrectly the results can vary from hysterical Mania to deep and inconsolable Melancholy shrinking solution a bright green potion that caus the Drinker to shrink to a smaller form a more subtle potion that many appreciate at first saor the shrinking solution causes creatures to shrink to a younger form and finally the crowning Jewel of his career and one you will have heard of Felix felices AKA liquid luck my known invent ion my masterpiece the crowning achievement of my career bottled Good Fortune brewed correctly the Drinker of this potion will be lucky in all their Endeavors but be warned excessive consumption is highly toxic and can cause extreme recklessness fans of quidditch were quick to protest that a potion which gives the Drinker good luck was hardly fair and use of my potion was banned quite rightly from all competitive events except potion making tournaments liquid Lu in essence Ena the consumer to become successful in all of their Endeavors and in my opinion this is the most powerful potion of all because its possibilities are seemingly Limitless whatever you try to use it for you'll be successful at which means that with it you should be able to achieve almost well anything how liquid luck actually works on the other hand is another question one which I've actually answered in my video the truth about liquid Lu revealed in any case unlike many other potion who achieved wealth and fame Zigman instead chose to live his life in isolation the mental abuse he suffered at the hands of his mother was more than enough to instill a deep dislike for people within Zigman please understand some have suggested disappointment warped me this is nonsense I enjoyed a long and full life alone on hermit tray working on this my masterpiece my legacy the book of potions I always dreamt that one day this book might accomp a great potioneer to victory at the championship and now it feels as though it is in reach and during this long period of isolation he dedicated himself to crafting his Masterpiece the book of potions which he envisioned as his enduring Legacy for future generations of potion makers the book includes the following forward I am Zigman budge and I am the greatest potion maker ever born this is no empty boast I invented many of the Wizarding world's most power potions I discovered the properties of hundreds of secret plants and creatures I have dedicated my life to the most mysterious and misunderstood branch of magic and these Pages contain the secrets of my art distilled for new generations of Hogwart students and even after zigman's passing a mysterious Aura of his Essence continued to resonate within the pages of the book of potions this residual presence seemed to imbue the book with a mystical energy enabling it to serve as a spectral guide to those who would come to study its contents as future readers delved into the text they would sometimes sense a subtle Whisper of advice or a gentle nudge in their potion-making Endeavors as if Zigman budger Spirit lived on through the pages to mentor and Inspire aspiring poers for generations to come and that concludes the story of Zigman budge what do you think was budge the most powerful potion maker in wisting history or is that title owed to someone else let me know down in the comment section below until next time remember it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live
