Apr. 17th, 2012 02:07 pmWell, we've had a busy day since getting back to Hogwarts. Mum, we hope you'll be impressed with our industry.
First of all, we met with Professor Slughorn who laughed a lot at first when we proposed our idea and seemed to think it was a very good joke, but after we talked a bit it looks like he's considering it. At any rate, he said he'd let us know by the end of the week if he's willing to do it. If he is, he'll give us a list of the potions to study over the summer, and then he'll test us on two when we arrive next September.
Secondly, we have a sample of Terry's blood, taken since the latest round of spells were put on it. We just received it today, by owl. A whole ampule. Maybe we should keep part of it under a preservative spell, so we can compare it to a later sample if the git puts ANOTHER round of spells on him? One idea that occurred to us (belatedly): doesn't Professor Slughorn have a cruopticon? We ran across to a reference to how they're used in analysing blood in our reading last week, and we think we saw one on the shelf when we were in his office last night. Maybe we could have asked if we could look at it while we were meeting with him, if we had thought of it at the time. We're trying to come up with excuse for borrowing it--unless Mr Snape has one? (A cruopticon, we mean, not an excuse). Anyway, we'll drop the blood sample off at the caretaker's office after classes.
Lastly, after our meeting with Mr Snape last night, we swung by the library to check the the Restricted Section. We chatted up Madam Pince in our most artless manner but didn't find a record of either of the two books titles Sirius gave us in the ledger (don't worry, we didn't mention either of the titles to her). Terry's going to check Amycus Carrow's shelves.
(Hope you liked the little basket of potion ingredients we left for you, Mr Snape. The Mumsey Wort's very fresh, even if there isn't much of it. Oh, and Fred had a bit of a headache come on about an hour after last night's experiment with occlumency ended. Is that normal? George didn't. Weird.)
