I know that it's been said elsewhere. Miss Granger and Miss Clearwater were victims of Petrification today. I can assure you that they are as well as can be expected under the circumstances, and they are fortunate (if such a word can be used in this regard) that the wait for an antidote should not be much longer.

I wish I knew whether there would be any after effects of long term petrification. We--Pomona, Horace, several colleagues at St Mungo's, and I--hope there will not be any, but we won't know for certain until we administer the Potion.
