Chance has applied to the Ministry of Magic for a research grant, just as she told Henry and Dax she would. She hasn't expected to hear much back for a while, if ever. She knows what applying for government money is like.

So when she gets an owl in just a little over a week, and from the Sorting Hat rather than the Ministry, Chance is more than a little surprised. And, considering the things she's heard about this whole Hershey-Kandy-liopleurodon nexus of nefarious doings her research intersects, she's also more than a little suspicious.

Not too suspicious to look a gift horse in the mouth, though. She figures she ought to warn the others and give them an out, if they don't want to risk involvement any longer. It's Chance's harebrained quest, not theirs, and as soon as she finds a liopleurodon or relics thereof, she herself plans to cut and run.

Hey,

The Hershey fieldwork is a go. I just got a ridiculous amount of funding -- from the Hat, not the Ministry, which strikes me as downright unorthodox. The two of you are right, there's way more here than meets the eye, but I'm still going. I'll understand if you don't want to.

More than enough here to bring along a couple of colleagues, if you're still in. Can comp travel expenses, lodgings, food, ~~souvenirs, theme park tickets~~.
