Everything okay? Only I saw you wrote to Sue and, I mean, well, this time of night it'd be just as easy to talk to her, wouldn't it?

Is someone messing about with you?

Excuse me, Matron? Did my brother Laurie make it up to the Hospital Wing? Only he was just in our common room trying to do his reading, when he ought to have been in Charms. I asked what he was doing and he said he'd forgotten he had Charms today!

So I asked him what lessons he had today and he couldn't remember that, either. I looked in his diary and it said quite clearly that he had Potions. And then Whitby and Nubbins-Crumberhatch said that they'd done Forgetfulness Potions this morning, so I thought about the time in our first year when people got splashed by it and forgot all sorts of things. I asked Laurie if he remembered how to get to the Hospital Wing and he said he did, but now I'm worried he might have got lost on the way.

So, is he there? And is he all right?

I'll look out for anyone else who might have got splashed, too.
