Order Only: Private message to Black and Miss Granger

[alt_severus]

Black: the most recent variation you sent up, with Miss Granger's alterations, appears to have solved the problem with the salamander oil going inert after cooling. I hesitate to declare victory prematurely, particularly given the travails already experienced, but all testing indicates this particular variation may finally be safe for human trials.

Do let me know when is convenient.

Miss Granger: your work with this project has been impeccable. Should this succeed, Mr Weasley will owe you considerable thanks.

Thank you, Miss Granger; I have been aware Black's alleged sense of humour clashes quite firmly with my own preferences in being addressed for quite some time. I have given up hoping that he is capable of keeping an interaction cordial and professional by now, but that does not mean I must stoop to his level.

I regret to inform you this variant of the potion did not have the intended effect, meanwhile. Black and I are discussing the results and attempting to determine how to proceed.
