Urgent Notice

[alt_poppy]

I strongly urge anyone who may have ingested 'medicinal' substances meant to enhance attention or defer sleep to come immediately to the Hospital Wing. This applies especially to anyone having taken even a small quantity of the so-called Open Eyes Elixir.

If the rest of you would be on the alert for any eyeballs rolling underfoot, it would be most appreciated. And do bring them along to my reception, so they may be restored to their owners as expeditiously as possible.

Ew.

[alt_poppy]

Quite.

I haven't seen any, but I wondered: would it be helpful to put them in a tumbler of water when bringing them to the Hospital Wing or anything? (Sterile water, of course. Perhaps it should be sterile salt water?

And we'd have to be very careful that no one would accidently drink it.)

Thank you, Miss Lovegood.

Yes, it would be best if you were to place them carefully in some handy vessel in which they may be kept safe. A teacup or tumbler or dish would do.

I'd prefer you not submerse them in any sort of liquid. More harm than good, potentially.

Best to bring them directly here; I'll take care of any restorative treatment that might be required.

Goodness. I was rather wondering what this year's brilliant student idea would be, but that's a quite distressing one.

Would another pair of hands be helpful to you? I've time once we're done at 3.

Do come up if you've the time.

With luck, I'll have all of this sorted by then, and we can simply enjoy a spot of tea.

On the other hand, I may indeed need another hand. In which case, yours would be most welcome.

Right. Mum's sent her usual exam package, so at least there'll be a treat or two for you to look forward to.

(And any excuse to put off my marking. After spending most of the weekend reworking how I'm giving the exams, I find I need a pause before I start looking at the outcome.)

Pardon me, mum, but did you mean anyone should come to yer ward if they might've taken somefin dodgy like that Open Eyes quaff?

Don' want me minces fallin out, do I?
