Poppy, I need you -- or anyone else at Hogwarts -- to meet me within about ten minutes or so. Far side of the lake, just past the wards, on the path to Hogsmeade Station?

I've just got your dragon blood -- two whole phials -- but I need to hand it over quickly before anyone notices I'm gone.

Thanks to your quick action today, I now have two precious doses of Cinnabaris vitalis potion tucked away, brewed off the books and without anyone the wiser, as luck would have it. As always, I hope never to need them, but if some truly dire accident were to befall someone here, this potion could save a life.

So, yes, here's to Istvan. And to Charlie Weasley.

Much as it pains me to waste any bit of a dragon who's passed on, I'll keep my fingers crossed that you don't need to use the potions. Although if whatever Lestrange and Dolohov do about that underground duelling club doesn't work to discourage them, you might wind up needing them after all. (Can't believe I just said that. I'm touching wood right now.)

And you don't need to toast me. All part of my job.

Well, that relieves MY mind, that you have some Cinnabaris on hand! I'm glad that Charlie was able to reach you so quickly.

Charlie, well done!

Aw, Mum, it was nothing, really. I'm just glad the infirmary will have it on hand in case of emergency.
