Headmistress! You are needed urgently.

There's been another attack here in the castle. Two st victims have been petrified. We're taking them to Madam Pomfrey. Please hurry.

QUIDDITCH MATCH CANCELLED

The Quidditch match has been cancelled.

There has been another attack. Please return to your common rooms in an orderly fashion, and leave only on the most serious business, with a Prefect's permission. Your Heads of Houses will keep you updated on the situation, and I imagine the strictures on movement shall end before supper-time.

AMYCUS CARROW APPREHENDED

[alt_mcgonagall]

 I regret to inform the Hogwarts community that Professor Amycus Carrow has been apprehended. He is under suspicion in various of the shady goings-on that have plagued our dear castle this school year.

I shall cover Professor Carrow's classes while he is in the Ministry's custody. I expect that the Ministry shall do their very best to determine the truth of this horrible situation.

I would like to remind you all that the victims of the attacks are, by and large, perfectly well - or will be when the potion to un-Petrify them has been administered. This includes the prefect Penelope Clearwater and the mudblood Hermione Granger, who were the two most recent victims. The attacks are not any the less dangerous and horrific; however, we may all console ourselves that those afflicted are merely sleeping and shall awake happy and strong as ever upon the maturation of the mandrakes in Professor Sprout's greenhouse.
