Good afternoon everyone.

I know we've had a bit of a rocky summer holiday, but I'd just like slip a gentle reminder that there is a quiz for Defence against the Dark Arts students in week 2 of your semester. If you haven't started studying, now might be a good time to open your books.

Homework aside, I'm sure some of you have unanswered questions regarding the food fight that got out of hand during summer camp. Per investigations, it's been discovered that someone cast a hex on certain students that caused the irrational behaviour. The Ministry are pursuing leads and the councillors of the camp are being questioned, but I'd just like to take this opportunity to assure all of you that no there will be no disciplinary action for those who had been caught firing jinxes.

I look forward to meeting all of you when school starts.

Is it what you thought it might 8e?

It was close enough. According to the Ministry findings, the spell was somewhat similar to the Imperius curse; the affected students' actions were definitely influenced by the spell.

How is a spell "similar" enough?
Do you even know the n8me of it?
Or how it was cast?

At least why did they target us?
It m8kes no sense.

The spell had a different function to the Imperius curse, although it also influences the victim's thought processes. The Ministry hasn't given me much information, but they have promised to keep me updated if they find out more about the spell.

As for why they targeted students, I can only guess that the caster wanted to target a group that couldn't fight back. Throwing off an Imperius curse is difficult for adult wizards and witches, and even more so for teenagers.
