I read this *after* I'd sent a message to the SILK GOWNS group 
about "Fudge" candy and "gum" candy.  So I don't think it's a 
stretch!  If more than one person can come to the same conclusion, 
it's a pretty good bet that there's something that Alice is trying to 
communicate, and it's not just about the gum or the wrappers 
themselves.  I still insist there's something about the gum itself--
I'm being stubborn.

There is one other person on the ward who seems to be suffering from 
an effect that has nothing to do with LV or Fudge, and that's Agnes 
(she barks).  It's possible that Malfoy or Fudge himself are sending 
goodies to the Longbottoms (heck, who'd ever suspect the MOM or one 
of the major donors to the hospital of deliberately poisoning a 
patient?
