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.

Nicely done, that, and I'll toast Istvan - in tea, I've far too much marking to do tonight - later.

Poppy, you were missed at supper. Dolores apparently wanted a word.

Fortunately for you, she got distracted before she could come up and find you (something Gwendolyn asked, I think, but I didn't hear) and I heard her say she had students coming up from about now. But you might want an excuse handy for why you weren't at supper.

Thank you, yes, you're quite right.

I'm nearly through the brewing. Thankfully the Cinnabaris is not a difficult or long potion to prepare. Just unforgiving with respect to timing.
