Alice: Black's work on the potion for Mr Weasley having proceeded to the point where he believed, and I agreed, it was ready for human trial, today we met briefly to conduct safety and efficacy trials. While it passes on safety, I regret to report it does not have the desired effect.
Black: I recognise my immediate observations were minimally useful; I must apologise. I shall provide you with more detailed trial notes at earliest opportunity. I do not believe the project is a lost cause — I perceived a slight alteration in the experience of casting — but this variant will not suffice to ease Mr Weasley's troubles.
I shall consult the library here and offer suggestions for further revision.
