Bubotuber pus

"First pus and no this"

- Seamus Finnigan, when discovering that he had to feed Blast-Ended Skrewts after handling Bubotuber pus Bubotuber pus is not exactly a potion, but the liquid found in the swellings of the magical bubotuber plant. It is very valuable, as it retains healing qualities. It is a thick, yellowish-green liquid and smells strongly of petrol. Despite retaining healing powers, it can 'do funny things to the skin when undiluted', and dragon-hide gloves are recommended to be worn while handling it. It is also an excellent remedy for the more severe cases of achne, and is recommended as apose to spells, which can backfire and cause side effects as extreme as nose loss. Bubotuber pus is collected by squezzing the swellings on the plant and catching the pus that bursts out in bottles.In 1994, the fourth-years attending Hogwarts collected Bubotuber pus in bottles. It was described as 'disgusting, but oddly satisfying'. In the same year, Hermione Granger was sent an envelope from an unknown person, who believed the rumour that she had relationships with both Harry Potter and Viktor Krum, as reported by Rita Skeeter.
