Yesterday evening, one student perished on Hogwarts grounds. Four others were sent to the hospital wing after what seems to be an ill-conceived attempt at a potion that was far too advanced for the young minds.

Miss Céleste Bénet was the child to perish. Our readers will likely remember that Miss Bénet and her twin sister were caught in other unruly, dangerous behavior last year before they had entered Hogwarts. It seems that the twins had tragically failed to learn from past mistakes.

Fellow students in the incident have reported that Miss Bénet was the mind behind the potion, as it was to be an attempt to prank the attendants of the tomorrow's Coming Out Ball. It has been reported that Miss Claire Bénet was lacking in attendance to these tragic events, having been sent to the hospital wing a day prior with ongoing signs of illness. She, along with her family, were unavailable for comment.
