Order Only: An interesting project

We've been approached by the Head Boy, Cedric Diggory, for a little project in anticipation of the Halloween Feast: to make some face masks that can be charmed, i.e., like lions, eagles, badgers and snakes. Thing is, we have some ideas about how a product like this might be of some interest to the Order. We're not talking about something as good as Polyjuice, by any means. But maybe something that'd fool casual observation, in the dark, or as part of a crowd. Diggory's going to help, and he's wicked good with Charms stuff. We said we'd bring in Lee, too.

And get this: Diggory said Marvolo might be inclined to help, too. So it's an opportunity to get to know him a bit better, too.

Kingsley, any advice from the prospective of someone who's done some theatrical work? We're thinking maybe a wool base, then a charm, with a potion fixative.

definitely sounds like something worth looking into.

anything that saves on polyjuice is worth it in my book, and maybe some of our contacts at the camps could find some use in them too.

A very interesting idea, you two. And yeah, it could have applications.

We use stage makeup and glamours, mostly. But I think Dorcas has a book about traditional Japanese stage magic that might be to the point. They do a lot with masks because of the kabuki tradition. Will see if I can dig it out for you.

Sometimes you two are too bloody clever for your own good.
alt_bill: (Happy)

Yeah, well, what Percy doesn't notice about clever things around him, the better for all of us.

All kidding aside, gents, don't make the mistake of underestimating Percy. He was clever enough to become Head Boy (I know, I know; it's a fact of which he reminds you ad nauseum. And he's very eager to please his boss, a fact of which Mum and Dad are painfully aware. I wouldn't put it past him to try to curry favour with the 'right people' by selling out his family.

Let's not give him the opportunity to notice anything amiss. All right?

Maybe not. But he would remember them, if he learns about them. And yeah, if the Order uses them later, he's perfectly capable of putting two and two together. So let's not wave them in front of his nose, hmm?
