OWL: Professor Catriona Putnam to Finola Cumbow, Youngblood Circle (Warded Appropriately/Standard)
Finola, hon:

How the heck are you doing this fine evening? I don't need to ask if you got to the Circle safely; you wouldn't have bothered going if you didn't think the coast was clear. I'd love to be there too; but we'll be having Finals week down here, plus the NEWTS prep; and you know how all that goes. Hatteras is always a frigging madhouse at Finals week. Didn't help that my Impatiens essence got contaminated with a pollen release (Prickly Pear, I'm pretty sure); and the whole batch had to be discarded and started over from square one. Sigh...

There's the usual toxic vibe around Murfreesboro, I'm afraid. Never mind the damn Djinn-Seekers--we've got Pureblood Supremacists by the truckload in Murfreesboro, on both sides of the portal!! Hell, since the new Muggle administration's First Lady is a Veela and an undercover Auror (as you and I both know), she ought to be down here tracking 'em along with our Southeastern Bureau people!!! Never mind the Durmstrang people slithering into the Russian government and all that!! But try not to worry too much; we've got Aurors practically ghosting the sons of bitches. The Aurors will even out the Purebloods to the Muggle Nazis, if necessary.

Anyway--hope all goes well. I've got the updates coming on the MagiVid, so I'm watching y'all. Love to Jovana, Marja and all them...
