Minerva...I want you to see if you have in your library a copy of a rare text from Horatio Hereuse, from about the fifteenth century or so. If it's in the library, it would be in the restricted section, but I'm hoping that as both the Headmistress and former teacher of Transfiguration, you might have your own copy. Title is Cruor Comica Quod Mutatio, and I think, as best as I can tell from my own references, that it discusses both animal transformation and blood curses. I'm hoping it might have a clue we can use.

I realise I'm grasping at straws. But hell, it makes me feel like I'm doing something that could help him.

The Restricted Section has it, but not I. Shall I pull strings? I believe I could get it to you, if I tried.

I got a few hours sleep and then took a potion, so I will stay up working tonight. But frankly, I think your inside knowledge as an animagus might be as important as my experience as a curse-breaker. And we're running out of time.

I can apparate to just outside the Hogwarts gates if you give me the word you've got the book. I can even come inside to work with you on going through it, if you think you can sneak me in without the Carrows or anyone else being the wiser. Let me know.

I shan't be able to sneak you in, but I'll bring you the book on my cat-collar. There's no spells on it to contraindicate the use of shrinking and enlarging charms. I'll be there in thirty minutes, at midnight.

Excellent. I'll be waiting.

Let's hope that we find something that will do Sirius some good.

Good luck.
