Students, return to your Houses!

A very troubling incident has occurred. All students must return to their Houses immediately. Your Heads of House will inform you of all you need to know when you have checked in.

No, we do not. There are several possibilities. Obviously, it is a girl; and Potter and Malfoy are uninvolved - they ought to be on their way to you, Poppy, as I gave them permission to confirm that Granger is safe.

Well, all right. But there's just no point talking to a Petrified person, Minerva. Heaven knows, if there were, I'd be speaking to both her and Terry every day.

I suppose we ought to at least be grateful they show so much concern for our Hermione.

I believe they wouldn't have trusted anything but the evidence of their own eyes. Marvolo in particular seemed to believe that her petrified body might have been kidnapped. (I called him 'Potter,' I realise - my God, but he is like his father when he is concerned and angry. I would've sworn it was James for a moment.)

In any case, I am assembling the staff. Send Marvolo and Malfoy back to Slytherin - I believe they are safe enough if they go directly. We are meeting in the staff room.
