Enemies of the Heir, beware!

( Letter to Grizel's parents, via Inigo's owl. )

Some belated valentines delivered by a second year who'd been thoroughly threatened by Thalia and Bing and neither is in their usual handwriting.

Madam Robins and Headmaster Dippet were not at dinner time. Mid-meal, Professor Hopkins got to the front to make an announcement in her usual, clipping voice.

"Attention, students. There has been a great deal of flurry over Miss McGregor's state. Rest assured that she is not, as rumor would have it, dead. She is suffering from Calculus Corpus, which is a spell that wears off somewhere around ten days. There is no cause for worry."

Privately, she met with Millicent and asked her to be in charge of seeing that Grizel had all her coursework when she woke up.

STATUS: IC/OOC log

Since today's meeting is only an hour and it's their first, Mairead thought it'd be a good idea to perfect their Shield Charms today. She transfigured some rocks into yarn balls for them to throw at one another's shields to taste the strength of them. At about the half-hour point she transfigured them back into rocks and started tossing them instead. Once it was ten 'til five, she stopped them and asked them if there was anything any of them wanted to go over next week, suggesting that she thought it might be a good idea to go over Disarming Charms. Professor Merrythought oversaw the whole thing!

WHO: Grizel and Dieter, primarily, but everyone at lunch!
WHERE: The Great Hall
WHAT: Grizel gets shredded in public.
WHEN: Lunchtime, January 21st
STATUS/RATING: OOC/IC / PG-13


Today at lunch, close to the beginning of the meal when things are a bit crowded and confused, Dieter walked by the Ravenclaw table to give Araminta a hug. Then he walked away and sat down among his Slytherin posse and -- having sussed out a good trajectory -- silently cast a Skin Shredding Hex on Grizel McGregor.

Skin Shredding is exactly what it says on the tin, and the longer its held the worse it gets. Dieter holds focus (probably in the region of Grizel's back/neck) until Professor Flitwick runs down and removes Grizel from the hall to take her to the hospital wing.

Back to Hogwarts! The students board the train despite the rumors, but to placate parents' worries, there is a guard of hitwizards that fly around the train throughout the journey to Hogwarts.
