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.

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.

At the very least, it'll give us some ideas for further tinkering, and hey, we don't have to turn our best prototypes over for the stated purpose, do we?
We bet the whole thing will make Fu really happy, too. And maybe the Sherwood Band. Although we'll have to be careful how we use 'em, if it's for Order business.

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.

Pity that Percy doesn't see it that way.

He wouldn't notice us being clever even if it bit him in the arse.

Private message to Fred Weasley and George Weasley
Let's not give him the opportunity to notice anything amiss. All right?
Re: Private message to Fred Weasley and George Weasley
Well, he's not crossing our paths now, and if he ever has any reason to hear of our little Halloween masks, he'll probably not do any more than to sneer at them.
