alt_poppyMorning comes, and we're still safe here.
Molly, I've been remiss. I meant to write you Saturday as the children departed for home, but one thing and another have distracted me.
I trust that your daughter passed along to you the tablets I dispensed to her. As I said in the instructions, they should only be taken if she has any further episodes of altered consciousness or sustained memory loss.
I'm afraid there has been insufficient research into Obliviation injuries to shed much light on her case. It appears she was the victim of more than one unusually strong obliviation spell administered by her yearmate, Hydra Lestrange, who was herself under the control of a possessing spirit. Miss Lestrange, though she appears to be far different in character and will than either of her parents, is the progeny of two strongly endowed wizards, and although she was merely a first-year student when she cast these spells, we must expect that her native magic, supplemented by the pent-up magic of the possessing spirit, was very potent indeed. So much so that your daughter experienced an echo response whenever that spirit moved in the castle again.
It appears that her only relapses occurred at times when Miss Lestrange was about that spirit's business with the basilisk, and it is my expectation, therefore, that she should experience no further difficulties as the inciting agent has been--to the best of our knowledge--destroyed or dispersed. Of course, it is quite difficult to say anything certain about malevolent spirits, but based on what Miss Lestrange and Mr Marvolo reported to us, we believe it's been dispatched for good and all.
However, I do advise you to watch for any signs of peculiar behaviour, memory distortion, loss of consciousness, daytime distraction or night-time disturbances. I trust that all is well and shall be, but it's wise in this as in all things, to keep alert.
On that note, I'll close. I hope you got some rest last night as our vigil may extend some while yet. I believe we can trust in Sirius to see himself through this crisis, Molly, and I know for a certainty he would not want to have us incapacitate ourselves with worry as that can only put us all at graver risk.
Be well, Molly, and take care.
