First off, Zach I believe that you are not the one who cursed Samuels.

However something is going on and one or both of you knows more than you said. Zach, the Matron may have stopped asking questions, but I'm sure neither of us were satisfied with the lack of details. Heph, the only time I've seen you as evasive as you were when we talked about why Smith would ask after you when Samuels was hurt was third year and Sprout was asking us why all the mandrakes in the greenhouse were blue. If it's as bad as I think it could be, the bludger rain of punishment would be disastrous for all of those caught in it.

Whatever is going on will get figured out, students don't get hurt that badly without investigations and consequences. Samuels's situation is an agenda item on the staff meeting tomorrow.

If you come forward now I promise to work to keep your punishment as light as possible. Think about it. I'm going to bed. This offer expires at the prefects meeting tomorrow.

Valerie just came to me about Chelsea's behaviour today. She's been busy all day, incapable of sitting down to do anything other than coursework or eating a meal as quickly as possible. She says she 'has to be up and doing something all the time. Like cleaning or straightening or organizing' While we were discussing this she dusted all of the pictures in the common room. Just now she stumbled a bit and sat down down hard into a chair. After a moment she said 'I can sit down now!' with this note of wonder in her voice.

I'm not sure if I should be sending her to the Matron to be checked or just seeing how she feels tomorrow.
