The Whitebottoms Come to Visit!!

Wow! What an amazing week! Our great friends, Fintan Whitebottom and Shallia Scrivenshaft-Whitebottom, skipped over from the homeland to visit for the week. Whitey, as Fintan is known among the Aurors, recently received a promotion, so Shallia booked a holiday for them to celebrate. We were quite excited they chose to visit us.

Whitey was quite keen to observe American magical creatures in their native habitats, so I threw together a three-day "photo safari" of the Big Five: Sasquatch, jackalopes, rougarou, sidehill gougers, and hodags. Along the way we found a number of others. Whitey got some great shots, but his camera was destroyed by a wampus cat before we could apparate to safety.

Madrigal entertained Shallia closer to home. Shopping for potions, shopping for magical household items, shopping for the sake of shopping, then shopping some more--they had a splendid time! During the short bursts of time when they were at home, the odd calico imp took a shine for Shallia, so Madrigal gladly offered to let her adopt the little blighter. But en route back to England, Whitey and Shallia discovered a stowaway. "Mousie Mo" as he has come to be called (below left), couldn't be parted from "Monty". Best of luck to you two!
