Hectore Dagworth was feeling a bit glum because he had discovered that his Gold Membership Card was missing. It was proof of his senior membership in the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists, as well as a medal representing Hectore's exceptional contributions to the field of potion-making.
The Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists was renowned in Britain and across Europe. The association issued three types of membership cards: gold, silver, and bronze. Each card represented a member's contributions to the realm of potion-making and served as a symbol recognized by the wizarding world of Europe.
Such membership cards were unique, granting their holders honor and certain convenient privileges, such as the ability to purchase small quantities of restricted trade items used in potion-making without engaging in commercial transactions. It was essentially a convenient and fast pass.
