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.

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.
