Order Only: Research and Development

I've been thinking: since the Order has some funds we can tap, I think it would be a good idea to earmark some for research and development. I'm sure that Mellisandra will need a source for wand cores (any ideas on that, anyone?) but in the meantime, I think we should make some funds available for Stephen and for Severus for potions research.

If you give me a name to use, I can set up an account at Slugs and Jiggers which you can use for owl ordering potions books, ingredients and equipment. I won't be able to spare you much at first, but it's a start. I'll send you both an owl with the details of the account amount and the safe drop site which we can use for deliveries.

I have a bit more to contribute, and expect a few more receipts before I make my way back to the school. I'll let you know when I've left it for you. Is the usual drop point still secure?

Are there any ingredients either of them require?

Alice. Please ask Stephen if there's anything I could bring with me.

Kingsley. Is there anything Severus requires that I could procure? Mind you, there are certain items I ought not to be seen purchasing, but small amounts of most things could be shuffled in with my usual shopping.

I hope you've a better and steadier source than I have these days, Bill. To be quite honest, I'm getting more and more skint.

I've written to Aleks and we're trying to come up with a Plan B for imports to get us through to the solstice.
