Kneasy:
....once overdosed on a mis-sorted  pack of Bertie Botts Every Flavour
Beans. Been unmanageable ever since.

Manoeuvred from the Crouch household into Hogwarts by Voldy-
supporting evil Bean-counters from the Ministry, she feeds her addiction
by passing on crucial information.

Meanwhile, others desperate for a cure scour the land looking for the
lost kettle. Mundungus Fletcher, badly stricken in the pedal department
is frantic, testing every cauldron he can lay his hands on, stealing them
when necessary. A global shortage looms as floor by floor, Grimmauld
Place fills with kitchen impedimentia.

Harry, little realising that the fate of world chiropody and methane 
production lies in his hands, never wonders why Luna and her father are
so keen to get to Sweden. Though the exploding cauldron that killed
her  mother could put him on the scent, a sort of singed scent....
