Meanwhile in a small section of New Wickborough, in a cozy little potion shop, Gossick was busy cleaning the place. The place was out of the way and he had to pay bills, but it at least helped him get by. After all, with the magic craze going on in the country, many people were now interested in potions, even those incapable of magic bought them.

Carefully, he arranged all the different colored bottles on the shelves, arranging them by color; if you wanted customers, making the place look visually appealing was as important as cleanliness. 

Soon, after a few finishing touches, his shop was open yet again.
