I'll try to pop in and have a look some time next week, and see to the final seasoning of the benches if they're finished, check the cupboards, etc. I'll see to buying some equipment for you once I've looked at the Muggle supplies etc. I would have done this sooner, but I've been a little under the weather the last few days - for some reason I've been unable to sleep properly. It's probably just the weather.
A thought on this - will someone in the town be selling equipment? If not, your students will have to go overseas to get some of the items they'll need. Perhaps the Weasleys could be persuaded to add cauldrons etc. to their stock? Or were you thinking in terms of the school selling it to the students, which might be a modest source of income if you buy in bulk? I can certainly advise on sources if you want to consider it.
One possibility, though not as convenient as a local vendor, is that one of the foreign manufacturers might be persuaded to set up shop at the school for a couple of days before the start of term - of course this would mean that all of the money spent would go overseas, which in our present economic climate isn't ideal.
Any word on your new potions teacher? It would be nice to have another professional in town!
Regards,
Horace
