To my fellow fifth-years,

I humbly beg your pardons for disrupting this morning's exam. It seems I'm allergic to Pepper-Up potion, a fact which one had not known prior to this morning.

I do hope I didn't ruin anyone's pages (apart from my own, what) or unduly disturbed anyone's concentration.

On the plus side, I'm quite well, now that Matron's given me an alternative brew. Thanks to those of you who came by the Hospital Wing at luncheon to check on me.

Hallo, you two,

How are you?

Well, I beg your pardon but I hope I bally well never do anything like that again--and certainly not deliberately! If it's a choice between writing an essay and spending half the day in the Hospital Wing while Matron tries to figure out what's wrong, and all the while quite unable to keep anything settled--no, thanks, I'll take the exam, what?

To say nothing of the inconvenience it caused everyone else.

Now, if it's for one of Madam Umbridge's sessions on the proper way to place one's boot-heel on one's servant's spine.... Then it might be worth considering!

But I say, I hope you're not trying to say you two had something to do with my difficulties? I can't think how you managed to slip something like that into my tea, what?

As for capital.... Chaps, if I had full access to my accounts, I'd be more than willing to contribute. (No, I know you weren't asking, precisely.) Sorry to say that even with full control, I shouldn't think I'd be able to meet your need as a sole investor, what. Though I'm sure among several of us we might be able to manage it. Perhaps if you took up a collection?

No, WE absolutely did NOT slip you anything. Wizard's oath. We wwouldn't try pulling a trick like that, particularly with your exam. Even if History of Magic is useless.

The way we're planning it, each of the concoctions we're testing comes with its own antidote. What's the point of setting yourself up to puke to get out of class if you can't stop? So the Puking Pastille comes with another pastille you can swallow to settle your stomach again. We suppose it could be its own little first aid kit: if you're puking for real without OUR help (or maybe because you have an allergy to Pepper-Up!), you could break out one of the antidotes to make it stop. Although we suppose most people would simply go to Madam Pomfrey instead.

Other products planned: Nosebleed Nougat, Fainting Fancies, and Fever Fudge.

We have sent out a couple other feelers on investors.
