Cassandra Morrow has an ominous vision about her daughter Natalie.
Ghost of Future Yet to Come

On the longest night of the year, witch Cassandra Morrow stood in her backyard at a stone basin. It might have looked like a birdbath if there was anyone there to look, but most birdbaths have no need of the circle of runes marking the edges and basin here.Cassandra Morrow

As a result of Ancasta coming back into her power, the Riven Itchen floods for reasons inexplicable to authorities.
Possible Statute Breach

The Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes has reported a possible breach of the Statute of Secrecy in Itchen Abbas, where an unseasonal flooding of the Riven Itchen has caused magical herbs and plants to grow in surrounding muggle areas. "This doesn't accord with the usual methods of extremist Futurism... it may be down to natural factors we have yet to uncover." A team of herbologists have been dispatched to make a study of the phenomenon.Temperance Cartwright

The body of a Goblin named Ozz is reported to have washed up on the shores of the Thames at Southbank. Authorities suspect foul play.
Daily ProphetMissing Goblin Washes Up

The Goblin has been positively identified as Ozz through papers found on his person. According to his associates, Ozz had been missing for a full week prior to discovery.Temperance Cartwright

[Edit]
After reading about Ozz's death in the Daily Prophet, Virgil writes to his ex, Cepheus Gamp, head of the Ministry's Being Division. He asks if there is more information about the case in the Bletherskate, a Gobbledegook newspaper.
Bend Your Tongue

The Bletherskate suggests Ozz’s disappearance was sudden, and unexplained. There’s criticism at how slow Level Two were prepared to allow goblins to collect the body, and then a strong accusation that humans are to blame. In honesty, the last is common in the Blether when something goes wrong that is as yet unexplained for goblins. We are their scapegoat (and on many occasions, rightly so).Cepheus Gamp

[Edit]
Virgil approaches Nemo to discuss the death of Ozz - the Goblin whose shop they were instructed to visit while they were in the Hag Market. They disagree on whether or not to contact authorities with what they know, but ultimately decide to wait and see what happens next.
