Order Only: Private Message to Remus Lupin

[alt_severus]

Lupin -

I need an exact description of how the latest Wolfsbane formula has affected you thus far. If you have suffered a continuance of the aforementioned adverse affects, I need the date and time of day on which they occurred, as well as a thorough description of their endurance and severity. I hope, for your sake, that you have been taking notes. Be precise - I would prefer not to chase you down for elaborations on statements like "it hurt" or "afternoonish." These final few days are the most crucial, as you are already aware. Keep me notified.

-S.S.-

Quite.

The nausea is gone. Completely resolved with your new formula. Which I most sincerely appreciate.

No mouth ulcers, though I've continued sipping it rather slowly. I'll try drinking the next dose more rapidly to see if it still causes that problem.

It does still seem to cause headaches, but they're much milder. Both yesterday and today I've developed a headache in the late afternoon -- between four and five. It's a tolerable but mildly distracting nagging ache under my eyes. I assure you, I have lived with worse problems.

It doesn't matter if you have lived with worse - don't attempt to be stalwart. The continued presence of the headaches is problematic and must be resolved. You may have a sensitivity to an ingredient, but, due to the timing, I suspect it may be a matter of proportions. If I only had a blessed library I could be certain - as it is, I am navigating in the dark. Therefore, I must have as much data as possible.

Is there a particular item of data you want from me?

[alt_severus]

No more or less than a full report after the fact in exhaustive detail. I expect no fewer than fifteen inches - if your account yields less than that, you are not being thorough enough. I would prefer daily notes, but not everyone in this organisation has as much enforced spare time as myself.
