With the capture of Verandi Farley and several high-ranking Trossach members, the British wizarding world has finally caught a break. The rate of rogue werewolf attacks have started dropping at a steady rate and, hopefully, things will stay that way. The Ministry is starting to loosen some restrictions, like not arresting werewolves standing on the street for loitering, however there’s still an obvious power imbalance between wizardfolk and werewolves.
The Cotswolds pack are continuing to advocate for the rights of werewolves and petitioning to change the legislation that has been set in motion by the current Minister for Magic, whilst the remaining Trossachs members are trying to stay out of the spotlight and keep a low profile… for now.
Whilst the British wizarding world seems to have calmed down, the same cannot be said for over in Northern Europe where a rebellion of magical creatures has risen. The state of things has gotten so bad that the European Ministry has enacted protocols to protect those under eighteen whilst their adult witches and wizards fight to keep control of their countries.
Students from Durmstrang have been sent to Hogwarts to keep them safe and those not old enough to attend school have been sent to live with relatives or designated British Ministry officials outside of Europe for the time being.
Will the low rates of werewolf attacks in Britain continue? How long will Durmstrang students stay at Hogwarts? Will the creatures usurp the wizardfolk in Northern Europe? Only time will tell.
SEPTEMBER 2019 It's been a very long, eventful summer in the wizarding world. A baby was stolen, several high ranking Trossach members were imprisoned, and werewolf attacks have drastically dropped as a result. What will happen now school has returned?
MAY 2019 An attempt to capture the beta of the Trossachs has been launched. Were the Aurors successful in their mission? Go read more here!
Ezra was beyond bored, and was actually done with his homework for the day (for once in his life). Yes, Ezra was so bored that he had done his homework like a good little boy because he didn’t want his grades to slip. He didn’t want to disappoint his mother’s, and he wanted to kiss their ass because there was a chance he might get himself grounded for the stuff he had pulled on the fellow students. Today though, he was relaxing and trying to be a good boy. Maybe someone will report back to his brother and sister about his...sudden personality change. Maybe they’ll think he had hit his head, and has some brain damage.
Okay, he did hit his head but he was sure he wasn’t suffering from brain damage. He was speaking perfect English, and writing well. But…..maybe people should reteach him how to write in good handwriting because no one can really read it. Ah well.
The blonde boy had arrived into the Gryffindor Tower, smiling like an idiot when he saw a redhead nearby and he skipped forward. ”Lucyyyyyyy…..” he grinned, flopping down on the couch.
Lucy was having a better day than she had had in a while, her homework was done and she didn’t have to force the smile on her face as she had skipped up the tower stairs from the library. Her handwriting neat and fluent as she had even managed to dot the I’s with little hearts when writing about charms. Her cakes had been served to the entire school, even though she hadn’t claimed credit for it. Probably because she thought she would have gotten herself and Gemini in trouble if she had claimed credit for it.
Thinking they had tasted very well she had been on a bit of a high for weeks, even though it was slightly coming down now. Still dancing under the stars and making music when she could she went on. Now sitting cuddled on a couch in the Gryffindor common room with a good book she was smiling. Hearing the portrait open she saw Ezra coming in, who was smiling like an idiot and skipping forward, not unlike herself. Her dragged out name and him flopping on the couch next to her had Lucy smiling.
’’Ezraaaaaa, what brings you here smiling like the sun?’’ Teasingly ruffling his white blonde hair. Hair which she thought could look like spun silver under the light of the moon. Then again under sunlight it looked like pale gold, so that was amazing. Her hair only seemed to glow more red under sunlight, much like her skin whether it burned or got more freckly she didn’t know. Sometimes it seemed both. ’’Could it be that you know I have snacks? Or is there a less innocent reason?’’ She added with a wink and her tongue stuck out.

Ezra had grinned, draping an arm loosely around Lucy’s shoulders because he wanted close contact with someone. He was bored, needed entertainment and Lucy was just the girl he needed right now. They were friends after all, right? He adored her even when she had touched the hair which was a big no no in Ezra’s book but he was going to let that go if she was willing to entertain him with something fun and not boring. He had noticed the book in her hands, making him frown for a split moment before he snapped out of it when she mentioned: snacks. Now that’s something he needed.
”I’m boreddddd…” he drew out and looked at her with a girn. ”And since you mentioned snacks, now I’m hungry. What do you have Luce? Something that’ll make me fat?” he asked with a smirk because it was impossible to make him fat, he can eat and still remain his weight. It was weird, but it was the human body.
Grinning about the hair ruffling she knew she could get away with, as long as she distracted him fast enough, the face gave that away. Snuggling a bit into the arm he had draped around her shoulders, enjoying the body heat coming from him. ’’Well if you’re bored, we’ll have to do something about that, don’t we? As to what kind of snacks I have…maybe a bit too many anyway. I have chocolate, cookies, nuts, winegums, more chocolate, crackers and lastly more chocolate.’’ So maybe she had a slight chocolate addiction, there was no fault in that, at all.
Putting the book away she thought about something they could do to entertain themselves. There was truth or dare, which could go very wrong, very fast. But just firing questions to one another could be fun as they kept it silly, or something? ’’So as to entertain ourselves, how about we keep asking each other questions, no matter how silly they are and maybe snack a bit in the meantime?’’ She was just going on a whim there, but who knew, could be fun.
Lucy had Ezra at chocolate, causing the boy to smile from ear to ear. The people who knew Ezra well, knew enough to keep food away from him because he’d eat anything in front of him. It was unhealthy in a way, but he was a growing boy after all. He had no shame in eating his own weight because it seemed that the male didn’t have an end in his stomach. He loved Lucy just because of the snacks she had, it always cheered him up if he was ever down in the dumps. ”Did you rob the chocolate shop again?” he couldn’t help but ask when she listed that she had many chocolate.
When she offered him an idea to cure his boredom, Ezra smiled a bit and nodded. ”Yes! Sounds fun! You go first.” he said, keeping his arm around her because he just enjoyed human contact.
Blushing the redhead pouted and tried to look stern at the platinum haired boy. ’’I’ll have you know I don’t rob the chocolate shop. I might have liberated some from bullies, but I have bought about 95% of the total.’’ Taking a bit of the aforementioned chocolate in her hand and started to nibble on it, trying to savor the taste and figure out what it was without looking at the labels. She knew it was milk chocolate, but with an added flavor, which she didn’t instantly recognize.
Sucking on it a bit more she thought with a smile about the first question she would be able to ask Ezra, even though she was a bit blank minded at that moment. Sucking on the chocolate she thought she tasted something that reminded her of citrus fruit and that gave her an idea for a question. ’’So Ezra, we all know you like food, but what kind of fruit is your favourite?’’ With that she dangled a piece of chocolate right in front of his mouth with her free arm.
