A letter arrives in the care of a large, ravenblack owl. It carries a rolled up bit of parchment with the official wax seal of the Carstairs family - obviously meant to carry some social weight in the recipient's eyes.To: Aileen Reid. River Boyne, Ireland.
From: Virgil Carstairs. 107B Diagon Alley. London.
Dear Professor Reid,
You might recall me from when I used to take your Runes class, before I dropped the subject at the end of third year. I am writing to tell you that I have experienced a vision of your sister, Abby. My skills as a Seer are recently developed but may be verified by Counselor Biladeau-Yukawa if necessary.
My vision entailed your sister, in a forest, experiencing a state of fear and distress. She felt (I felt) trapped. There were unicorns, and a man who I believe was telling her she "couldn't make it." That is all I can recollect.
I know this sounds like a preposterous dream but I urge you to contact Abby soon.
Sincerely,
Virgil C
