concerning this morning's altercation in the corridor between Mr Rickett and Ms Fletcher, you may speak to one of your House Prefects. The Head Boy, as you are all aware, has been entrusted with extra authority, as necessary, to enforce the school rules and preserve school decorum.

I realise that this is a stressful time of year and that there is a great deal of excitement about the Duelling Club. Nevertheless, the longstanding school rules forbidding the use of magic in the corridors--much less duelling--must still be obeyed.

But what about Rickett and Fletcher? Did they get hurt?

I mean did they do something so bad he had to do it to make them stop? Or, wait. But the curse doesn't work like that, right? I mean it's about hurting somebody not about, like, calming them down or making them stop before they break something or

Right?

It's meant to teach an important lesson so it's not easily forgotten. The effects are temporary, of course, when applied correctly. But I trust that the memory will make a permanent impression.

When applied correctly? What's that supposed to mean??

And what happens if it's applied incorrectly? Hannah Abbott said Anthony Rickett shook for two hours afterward.
