alt_poppyI have very good news to announce.
I've just come from speaking with Professor Sprout, who tells me the Mandrakes have reached maturity and are ready for cutting. She will prepare them tomorrow morning, and Professor Slughorn and I will spend the afternoon brewing the necessary potion. Assuming that all goes well, those who have suffered Petrification should be restored to good health by evening. I will, of course, wish to be entirely certain of their soundness before releasing them, so I must ask that you all be patient and refrain from crowding into the hospital wing. There will be time enough for reunions after they have got their bearings and recovered their equilibrium.
Professor Lockhart: I assure you that Professor Slughorn and I were most gratified by your kind offer to take over the brewing yourself, using the recipe you learned from--who was it, the aboriginal Skelligans of the Outer Seychelles? We have the matter well in hand, however, and will not be in need of your assistance for the time being. I feel certain you have enough on your plate, preparing end-of-term exams for the lower forms and sixth years. In that endeavour, I wish you all the best.
Congratulations, by the way, to the fifth years for surviving O.W.L.s week with rather fewer medical emergencies than usual. Good show!
