alt_severusStop peppering me with owls. I'll use the ridiculous journal. Feathers in my tea
Mr McGivern, we may stop looking for the location component in the potion. It's not there. Gratifying to know that I was correct in thinking that Carrow is too much of an imbecile to incorporate that quality into a blood-binding spell. Given the assumed runic component of the writing he used, we may then suppose that that which would keep Mr Boot within Carrow's radius is runic in nature as well. The 'steel' quill reinforces my theory - Carrow was likely using iron, and the iron stylus was a favourite tool for those using blood-based runic magic. If it's a rune that's binding Mr Boot to Carrow's location, it's a simple matter of finding it and destroying it properly. The blood rune is another matter entirely.
Black, I would like to put a stop to this nonsense about the animagus transformation once and for all. My research on the subject - to my vast surprise - reinforces your theory that assuming the animagus form does indeed interrupt the workings of a blood-binding spell. Before you allow this to get to your head, however, recall that time is of the essence, and you are asking a vast deal of a young man under distressive circumstances. Not everyone is as privileged as you were at that age.
Blood-based magic is usually performed once every few months on the subject for the purpose of reinforcement. The bond grows stronger with each new dose. Rather than place an optimistically tall order on the boy, I find it much more plausible to find a way to erase the runes ourselves. It would be an ordeal, but nearly anything is more conceivable than expecting a boy of his age and education to master the animagus transformation.
Lupin and Professor Sprout, I have need of more supplies, and am informed it is not yet "safe enough" to get them myself. I understand that you are the individuals to contact in such matters, and I expect my order to be executed swiftly and thoroughly.
- Calcite - if mercantile sources exhausted or dubious, locate at White Cliffs of Dover qty. 10oz.
- Adder skin qty. 5, preferably unbroken
- Ammonium chloride qty. 2oz.
- Fresh buckwheat qty. 3 bushels
Minerva, you have run out of green tea.
