Order Only: Private Message to Alice and Frank

[alt_sirius]

Allie,

We've hit upon a solution to our little problem of becoming cramped over on Doughty Conduit. (Er, Frank. We're getting a bit too cramped at Doughty Conduit and so far the things we've tried have attracted the wrong sort of attention. Nothing to worry about but it's caused us to be a little more creative in our thinking. Just in case Allie hasn't caught you up.)

But you know how it is. One solution leads to another problem.

So. I'm trying to remember the steps of the Fidelius. I know there's the perimetre walk and the hearth ash bit and I remember the runes to obscure north and west, but I can't visualise the rune for east, at present. And I've drawn the one for south a few times but it doesn't look right. And there's the spell itself, of course.

And we also wondered - Well, I mean to say, we thought. You see, it needs to be done quickly and without anyone noticing. But we wanted to ask if one of you would be Secret Keeper for us. Either of you. And if so, could you pop down to London tomorrow, and we can have a go at it tomorrow night?

I'll get the salt together while you talk to arabella.

a cauldronfull ought to do, you think? one of the medium sized ones.

[alt_alice]

Yes. But be sure you don't rush it. As close to pure as we can get between now and tomorrow. I can come out and help you once I'm done.

[alt_frank]

nothing doing. you're going to rest up for tomorrow. you'll need it. I'll get steve and jacinda to help out. between the three of us, we ought to get it up to the general's standards.

[alt_alice]

Well. I'll be sure and head to bed after picking Arabella's brain, then.
