Gillyweed!!!

Use Gillyweed! I can't believe we didn't think of it. It's terribly obvious really, only you have to be thinking about plants not potions.

That's brilliant.

What does gillyweed do again?

How can we get some?

Slughorn wants to give me something. Maybe it's gillyweed, but maybe it's something else, so we might have to sort out which one would be best.

[alt_hermione]

It makes you grow gills! And fins, too, I think, like swimmers' fins, so that you can swim better, so it should help on every front. And Slughorn would have some -- I imagine you could just ask him, couldn't you, and he'd give it to you? It isn't restricted or anything like that, just expensive.

Well, good.

That does sound pretty brilliant.

So if he wanted to give me something else, I could just ask for the gillyweed instead.

How long does it last?

[alt_hermione]

I think it depends on how much you eat. One mouthful is at least an hour, though.

[alt_harry]

I could do a lot in an hour.

And the last task didn't take too long.

Maybe I'll ask if he has two?
