Order Only: Private message to Pansy

So, I just got home.

I got an anonymous parcel. Actually, BOTH of us got anonymous parcels but yours isn't open yet, obviously, since I think they arrived after you went out.

Mine has -- okay, it's like a gold crown? with a snake coming out the front? it looks very slightly like what Professor Dolohov wore to Umbridge's fancy dinner only this was obviously made for a witch, not a wizard.

WHY WOULD SOMEONE SEND ME THIS? It can't possibly be from Professor Dolohov, HE surely wouldn't! Would he? Or maybe it's from Ron? Only

Pansy, I think this is REAL GOLD? Not just something made to look fancy. There is NO WAY Ron could afford

COME HOME. I WANT TO SEE WHAT'S IN YOURS.

Oooooh. I'm up to my elbows in viscous fluids. Or I will be in a minute. I'll be home in an hour or two, though.

You can go ahead and open mine up now, if you want. Just, you know, be careful.

It's a cauldron.

It's a SINGING CAULDRON. It sings. Songs.

I'm meeting Ron and Justin at the Fetching Cavalier on Silk Street. Come meet us when you're out of the viscous fluids? I'm not bringing our mystery parcels, you'll have to wait to see those till you go home. Or you could go there first and have a look, if you're too curious to wait.

I took a close look at this crown thing and it's real gold, with emeralds and pearls. It's recently made, extremely nice craftsmanship though not something I'd ever wear, and has an unkeyed anti-loss charm on it.

Just got out of the bath, and am on my way.

The cauldron really is lovely. The song changes depending on what you put in.
