Well. This is annoying. I'm afraid I've failed at a perfectly simple task after we went to a deal of fuss for a look at the book.

We talked our way past the door wardens and fairly badgered our way into the Headmistress's office (where she's not allowed either of us for weeks). Pomona managed it all perfectly and drew Minerva out of her office while I contrived to be left behind. All I had to do then was find the book, open it, and copy any entries inside. Pomona had the far more difficult task of decoying Minerva for long enough that I could manage that.

And now it seems I failed at a spell I use nearly every day.

Here is the list exactly as it appears on the page I used to take the copy:

I suppose we'll have to do it all again to see about the missing name. Have you ever known a duplio to fail? I never.

Bless.

Very well.

And it is no trouble. Or rather, while cleaning up the pretext will be, I shall enjoy the chance to prove to Messrs Weasley and Weasley that they are not the only ones capable of putting potions to explosive use.

Did you just say you're going to pull a prank?

You may think of it in that fashion if it will amuse you to do so. I cannot think of a better way to justify the caretaker's presence in the Headmistress's office for an extended amount of time.

Let us know if you need any help, sir.

I believe I have it in hand, Miss Longbottom, but I appreciate your assistance. It is better for you to not know any further details, however; should any of you be discovered in assisting, the Headmistress would undoubtedly be forced to punish you severely lest her unwanted adornment grow suspicious.
