Samantha walked into the room. "Who would like to go on a little mission?", she asked. "I've been doing inventory of our supplies lately and I've noticed that we are short on many items, including parchment, quills, ink and a variety of other things. Who would like to go into Diagon Alley and do a bit of shopping? You are free to enjoy yourself and take your time while there, of course. Do I have a volunteer?" Samantha was going to ask for someone to shop from the Inspection Committee as well, but just decided to start on the Examinations Authority first.
