Order Only: An interesting project

[alt_gredforge]

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.

Luckily, it's not an uncommon occurrence.

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

Sorry, Mum.

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?

Right.

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.

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?

Understood.
