Private Message to Fred Weasley and Harry

[alt_cedric]

The owled packaged arrived from my mother. She sent a couple bottles of both Forsby's Fixative and Eglantine Engelbert's Elixir of Elegance. She also included some others Pence's Permanent Portraiture and Lasting Landscapes, though she says the last are know for being for their specific specialities. There's a whole line of different potions specializing in different artistic styles which she didn't include since it didn't sound like what we needed. She also sent along her favourite potion recipes for as she put it 'the artist in the field' mostly for sketches and 'the struggling artist' with a note that it has a much shorter duration and incredibly cheap ingredients.

I was checking the stores earlier today for the ingredients we discussed. There are only two spools of spider silk. One was collected under the new moon and the other is rather old. I think we should make a short expedition into the edge of the Forest to collect some fresh. If you are up for it, I'll let Mr Milland know we'll be going into the edge of the forest sometime tomorrow.

Could you let Lee and Pansy know? Only being able to message two people is awkward.

Sounds good. We'll meet you outside the entrance of the Great Hall at 8:00 am. Best to do it early before many are up and about. There are lots of acromantula webs in the Forbidden Forest (um, according to rumour!). We bet a combination summoning/severing charm would get us some.

Will speak with Lee and George. I presume Marvolo will speak with Parkinson.

I'll pass it along.

We've been around acromantualas before. Pansy and I have, I mean. A couple of years ago. So yeah, it'd probably be best to stick to the edge, just to keep safe and keep people from getting into trouble.

And exploding giant spiders can get messy.

Re: that last: too right.
