Peasant woman: "My granddaughter is afflicted by a crop of warts, sir. Your father used to mix a special poultice in that old cooking pot –"
Wizard: "Begone! What care I for your brat's warts?"
— The peasant woman and the wizard[src]

This special poultice was a fictional healing potion featured in The Wizard and the Hopping Pot, by Beedle the Bard.[1]

In the tale, a Muggle peasant woman came to the wizard's door, and asked if he could make this poultice to cure her granddaughter's warts, saying his father made it in his lucky cooking pot. The wizard rudely denied her the potion, as he disdained Muggles and saw them as inferior to Wizardkind.[1]
