The same oily haze that permeated the Alley not a month ago is back, though altered. Those who linked the two events last time should be wary of the random cobblestones in the Alley that sport an oily sheen October 14, 15 and 16. Those who don't, or who aren't paying attention, will find themselves stumbling a fair bit more than they're used to the day they step upon the stones. The next day, their stumbling will continue, and they'll become clumsy in other ways as well- tripping over their words or outright forgetting them, dropping things they thought they had a good grip on. Along with this will come a permeating feeling of frustration toward everything and everyone. This continues until October 19th, when they will wake abruptly at 2 am and find themselves unable to sleep (if they hadn't slept yet, they won't be sleeping now) or nap until that night at 11:59 pm. The stumbling and clumsy effects of the spell will be gone though, as will the frustration caused by the spell- though anyone would be cranky given those circumstances.
Given the similarities with the oily haze, the Ministry will reopen the investigation of this matter, but continue to find no conclusive evidence.
