It's all about blood in all the ways it shouldn't be. Lily is one of the most brilliant witches alive and she can't go past a tiny shop in Diagon Alley because of who her parents are. Somewhere along the line every family started with a witch or wizard coming from no magical background, and yet...
Sometimes Lily wonders what the point of all of her own work is. She loves magic and she's never going to give up on it but she's also so tired of being seen as some kind of third-rate citizen over blood status when she can cast and brew circles around most anyone.
She smiles and leans on the counter when he speaks, lips quirking in a familiar way. "With how often you come in for that potion, skip a few times and you'll have a brand new trunk." She's teasing though, lightly, because, well, she knows what he's doing. She always does. If it were someone else she would be offended, but somehow with him it's just... Things are what they are and they'll be what they'll be.
"A Conflagration Concoction? I can have it ready in a few days. If they want it on a rush I can do that at a bit higher cost." With a hum. This is a dance they do sometimes too, seeing if Horace can convince the clients they need the potion right away or not. "But either way, I can get it done."
