Alice, I think your suggestion is an excellent one. Bill and I will put our heads together on that and try to come up with a list of the parents who would make the most sense to approach on this, given their proximity to Ridley's contacts. We can combine two tasks into one by approaching them during the usual followup visits to the parents. We try to schedule those yearly, and I'm afraid we're running behind on those.
Also, Dora: the two of us have been discussing the looming issue of a possible polyjuice shortage. Bill is hoping to have the bonafides for the visits to Ridley's people by Wednesday at the latest. He already has the parchment work for all five of the baby extractions. Now that the Players' time is freed up, we think they should concentrate on the babies, with Kingsley and I taking turns to go along and do the talking. With luck we'll have all of the babies delivered to Moddey Dhoo by the end of the week, barring any snags.
Dora, we think that the visits to Ridley's people may have the most potential to be dangerous. Merlin knows what she's told them by now, and we don't know how most of these individuals will react, at least at first, as we start to get in touch with them (which is why Alice's suggestion is a such a good one: it would certainly help if we found others who could smooth the way). Therefore, our representatives will have to be well disguised, which means I want something a little more comprehensive than the combination of makeup and theatrical glamours that the Players usually use. Yet we don't have enough polyjuice for two to use to do twenty-five visits. That's where you come in.
I think it would be a good policy for you to alter your appearance entirely each time. Would you be willing to concentrate on those? We won't send you in alone: I think Frank would be the best one to go with you. But your metamorphagus ability will help logistics and stretch our polyjuice supply quite a lot.
