Delayed Delivery at the Apothecary Sets Some Students Back
Reports have surfaced indicating that there was a brief mix-up with shipping a fresh order of essence of Belladonna to the Apothecary this week. The delay in shipment comes at a particularly difficult time, as the ingredient is a part of the standard potion-making kit for Hogwarts students. The Manager on staff had this to say;
“Rest assured, the essence of Belladonna was received in plenty of time to make the requirements for the students at Hogwarts. In addition, we are sending a portion free of charge to the school for those students unable to return for it.”
Though Belladonna is poisonous, the essence is essential for a number of standard potions students at Hogwarts are required to brew. The shipping company had no comment on the mix-up.
Pygmy Proliferation
Pygmy Puffs have proven a very lucrative operation for the Menagerie in Diagon Alley, nearly selling out as the students arrive before classes. Employees have said that ‘were it not for their rapid rate of reproduction, we’d be out of business.’ This reporter wonders if the worst is yet to come; Pygmy Puffs reproduce faster than rabbits, and an impending invasion of the small creatures seems inevitable.
