Beatrice Haywood finding an unidentified student Petrified
The effects of the curse took place in the space of a few minutes, as Cedric Diggory claimed to have only turned away from Madam Pomfrey for a few minutes and turned back to find her Petrified.[2] Victims also appeared to be aware of what was happening to them, as all known victims were frozen in poses of startled horror.[1][2]
History[]
Cedric Diggory and Penny Haywood finding a Petrified Madam Pomfrey
In the 1989–1990 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a male student was turned into a statue in the Clock Tower Courtyard as the result of this powerful and malign curse being somehow unleashed. Beatrice Haywood first discovered the student, before the situation was investigated by Severus Snape and Jacob's sibling.[1] A female Gryffindor was also found Petrified. Both students were taken to the Hospital Wing.[3] Eventually even the school Matron who was treating the victims, Madam Poppy Pomfrey, was also found Petrified.[2]
Jacob's sibling and Chiara Lobosca one day treated the various victims of the curse in the Hospital Wing. Beatrice Haywood entered the Hospital Wing at the same time, and simply commented that she was feeling "wonderful" after being asked about she was feeling by Jacob's sibling.[4]
Following the penetration of the Sunken Vault,[5] the effects of this curse ended.[6]
