Order Only: Private Message to Moony
Sorry, puppy. I had to dash out in response to Snape's distress call. He and Poppy took it upon themselves to confront Minerva and--well, Snape came back to find her drunk and transformed to her cat form.
You remember that time that James transformed when he was already too drunk to stand?
Well. The thing is that a stag's a much larger creature than a cat but neither one was made to process alcohol.
Anyway, he needed me to intervene with the Hominem Reddulio but we all decided someone better stay and keep an eye on her while he and Poppy start work on a potion. I gather it's some tricky business (and not a few of the ingredients were only just brought to us in the solstice run. Seems you're not the only one who corresponded with Aleks separately). They'll be at it for a while.
Oh, and he's got a shopping list. He might turn up at Doughty Conduit around closing time to raid the private stockroom, now that Aleks' latest shipment has been stowed. Myrrh resin and a particular strain of cardamom and - oh, whatever else he was saying. Wasn't really listening. Anyway, I think we have the cardamom but I'm not sure if we realised it was meant for him, so it might actually have made its way to the shelves.
He wants to run some sort of test on it when it gets here. But now that I think about it, I heard Aleks say something about not being able to get the myrrh resin at a decent price and I had no idea what he was on about at the time - turns out it's for Snape. Maybe we can send Ellie out to beg some from another apothecary.
Well. If you've already transformed, you'll not see this until morning, anyway, but I should be home by then and I'll see you when you wake up.
And if you haven't, I'll be home as soon as I can. Perhaps we'll be lucky and you'll skip a month?
Merciful Morgana, he's growling that this is taking too long. ('Stop writing sweet nothings, Black. I need an extra pair of hands.' Hmph. I ought to bring one or two of those new albums back with me tomorrow and torture him while I'm cat-sitting!)

I was really not expecting to skip this month, considering.
I'm glad I went ahead with the wolfsbane, though.
Anyway. Take whatever time you need. I've told Ellie to let him in to the stockroom when he arrives. Do you know if he'll be coming as Snape or as Milland?
no subject
It'll be Snape. His polyjuice wore off a while ago. (Pity, since if I've got to be civil to him I'd rather look at Milland than his huge bonce.)
no subject
I definitely think this would be a good use for that Madonna album. Except for the part where you'd have to listen to it, too.
no subject
Besides, this way I've half a chance of enjoying my Christmas presents before the new year.
no subject
I keep thinking about what Hermione said about our Juniors wanting to turn spies. And Snape encouraging the idea.
THIS is what it does to people, to try to pass as Death Eaters when they aren't.
no subject
And as for Minerva - we should never have let things go this long but we'll set her right, now that Poppy's decided it's the best thing to do.
You should try to sleep. You didn't get any rest last night and if you're certain you're going to transform tomorrow then even with the wolfsbane it'll be worse if you're overtired.
Just leave the Floo open for Snivellus and go on to bed.
