Disturbances
Does anyone know if the colder whether has changed the air quality of the castle? It seems awfully hard to breathe around here lately. Sometimes when I talk there's a sort of whistle in my words. And also, the back of my neck always itches. I asked Harry to look and he says he doesn't see anything on my neck but it itches like mad sometimes, it really does. Maybe its the shower water that comes out of that gargoyle's mouth. That gargoyle looks like it hasn't been cleaned in centurys, and its teeth are practically black. Its a disgrace, really. Someone ought to speak to the house elves. Oh, I know Hogwarts is supposed to have the best elves in all the land but how often does an ancient castle really get a good, deep cleaning?
On the bright side of things, its only fifteen days and a few hours until we leave for the hols.

Go up to the hospital wing and ask Madam Pomfrey to verify that you have not been afflicted with an asphyxiating hex. If that proves, as I suspect, unfounded, then your mother recommends hot water with lemon to clear your throat.
(I don't have to remind you how hearing of you ailing in any way worries her; particularly when she is so occupied with preparations for two events in as many weeks! Do not be foolish when there is a Healer there to ensure you remain at your best. You have exams to get through, as well, and cannot afford to be ill and miss lessons or revising time.)
Your mother and I are both looking forward to seeing you home again soon.

I'm sorry I worried mother, but I thought they might give me a nasty potion in the hospital wing, and I also didn't want to miss lessons. But I can go after supper tonight.

As to hexes, forgive me, but weren't you discussing a game in which the players hex each other unbeknownst?
Perhaps someone decided to practise.
In eliminating the symptoms you may well discover their cause.
