private message to Sue and Daphne

[alt_megan]

Daphne, I'm sorry for bothering you but do you perhaps know some theatrical glamour or charm that could make it look like I have hair until I do again? Or a wig? But wigs don't take care of eyebrows and eyelashes and I don't have those either. But there must be something, right? Because it doesn't look like any of the hair growth charms will work for a few days because the depilatory potion has to be out of my system entirely.

Sue could you please check on Fang and feed him if he seems hungry? He went under the bed and would not come out because he could not stand the sight of me.

Maybe somebody could just cast an invisibility hex on me. I don't know.

Pardon me?

Why have you taken a depilatory potion?

[alt_megan]

You didn't SEE me at breakfast?

It was a dare. That I had to do. Because I had to.

But it is over now. Except I don't have hair and apparently won't for a while.

But the dare did not say I have to stay like this. So.

[alt_daphne]

Oh, for the challenge. Wasn't it Blaise who dared you?

Because he's my friend and housemate.

[alt_megan]

Yes he is your friend and housemate but he did not say I have to stay like this and if

You don't have to make it worse.

[alt_megan]

And I only asked you because you have very good skills and I thought perhaps you would use them to help another Hogwarts student who never did anything to you

but if you are going to be that way then you can go do what Sue sang about hedgehogs

[alt_daphne]

I'm a Slytherin. I help my friends and housemates first. And I don't think my dear friend would appreciate it if I undermined his efforts to succeed in our Lord's challenge for him.

So if you're a big girl then I'm sure you can find, all on your own, Essential Stagecraft Illusions in the library. It's by Alvin Valore.

You want the "luxury locks" glamour. It makes it appear as if you have hair, but there's actually nothing there.

[alt_susan]

You're all right, Greengrass. Not that you wanted to hear it from me, or anything.

But...yeah.

Don't worry, I won't let it get out.

[alt_daphne]

Don't let it get out? If you insist.

Everyone finds a reason to like me, eventually!

[alt_susan]

Megs, I'll come to the library with you while you look, if you like. And Fang will probably come around--he's startled right now but I don't think the potion changes your scent so eventually he'll be able to tell it's still you.

[alt_megan]

Yes please. That would be very helpful.

Thank you for being my friend again, Sue. And for looking in on Fang.

[alt_susan]

It's the least I can do, really. My embarrassing moment was at least pretty brief; you're quite right that you haven't got to stay that way.
