Mr Samuels is in unexpectedly poor condition with injuries not at all commensurate with the body blow I saw him take during the match. That bludger is not alone responsible for what my examination has found.
The bones on his left side from shoulder to hip and the lumbar spine have gone entirely hollow and as brittle as egg shell. He arrived here with his ribs shattered to sand, but whilst here, his hip has gone and his hand as he endeavoured to unbutton his robes.
I've taken steps to stabilise him, but he is quite unwilling to tell me what he knows of his condition. I have asked directly if he knew he had taken a spell in addition to the bludger, but he refuses to answer me.
Septima, it is, I believe, time for his Head of House to press for his cooperation.
I cannot say for certain, but I rather believe that the bruising on his side had developed over a period of hours, which is to say, I believe the malicious hex occurred before the bludger injury. Likely before the start of the match; possibly it is as much as a day old. (No longer than that, judging from its colours.) Nonetheless, Pomona, Hooch is here, and I've agreed with her that questions ought to be asked of the Hufflepuff beater whose blow put Mr Samuels out of the match, though I do also think it possible you will need to look more widely for whomever cast the hex that has made Mr Samuels so unfortunately susceptible to injury.
