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!

HISTORY
Lewis Turner was born a squib in a halfblood wizarding family. His parents still treated him well and tried to help him find a place at a muggle school. He might have been jealous of his sisters who did get to go to Hogwarts but he never hated them for it. His parents still tried to give some knowledge on the magical world. Eventually he grew used to the muggle life and found a decent paying job where he met the girl he would eventually marry. Seeing she was a muggle both their sons were muggles and for some years Lewis almost seemed to forgot about the magical world.
Jim Turner and Abigail Brooks met at the university they both studied at. They took other classes but still saw each other in the hallways. After they graduated at the age of 23 they got together and eventually married to have four children. Both parents worked and took turns to watch over the kids. They formed a wealthy middle class family.
Tobias was the third child being born. He already had two elder siblings and three younger siblings followed after him. He was raised as a normal muggle kid, a bit mischievous trying to prank Peter with the help of Jim. It was obvious that Peter was their mother's favorite child while the youngest daughter Dora was father's favourite. The parents never said it out loud but Lilian, Tobias, Benjamin and Jim noticed this anyways. Lilian was the typical big sister watching over everyone and never getting the spotlight herself. Peter was a star students making the other siblings jealous because their parents often talked of how smart Peter was. Ben, Jim and Tobias were trouble makers and often teamed up. Last there was Dora the perfect little princess you just couldn't hate.
During his elementary school Tobias got picked on because he easily get angry which stroke interest in the other students. Until one day he showed his magic, harming another student and causing him to be suspended. His parents weren't sure how to take this they had no idea that such a thing existed in this world. While father and mother avoided to talk about their son being a wizard, grandfather Lewis was the support he needed. Tobias did better at his second school, he even made some friends there.
When his time came to go to Hogwarts his parents wouldn't let him go, they couldn't see how he could get a decent job if he went to that school. Luckily his grandfather was there to convince them, telling them he needed to learn how to control his magic. The parents from a friend of Tobias also talked to Mr. and Mrs. Turner, they were magical people themselves and their son would go to the same school. Tobias was both excited and scared to go to Hogwarts but he found great support in Owen, his school friend. Sadly they were placed in separate houses. But at least they shared the dungeons together. The whole first year of Hogwarts was one big experience. Everything amazed him and it brought up a side in him that was never there. For the first time he felt like he belonged somewhere and he grew ambitious wanting to learn it all and become a good wizard so he could amaze his parents and change their mind on magic.
When the summer break came he was sad to leave but was happy when Owen's parents invited him to go camping with them. His parents allowed it because Tobias couldn't shut up about how amazing Hogwarts was and it was making them uncomfortable. Tobias went with Owen and his family to the highlands. There they traveled from place to place enjoying the environment and each other’s company. At night they cooked together and played games. For one week it was fun and joy but then the full moon came without them realizing the danger. That night when the children were going to bed the adults heard growls near their camp. Owen’s father held his wand ready and told his wife to go fetch the children. Tobias and Owen were ready to apparate away with the woman as suddenly a wolf struck the man.
The woman screamed and took her wand to hit the wolf away from her husband. Tobias ran towards the man to help but right then the wolf had stood up and went for his prey again, biting and scratching both the man and the boy. Owen had cried out, the woman apparated away with her son as the man bloodied and wounded searched for his own. Tobias felt the sharp fangs piercing his waist and shoulder trying to tear some flesh off. By the time he apparated Tobias and himself at the steps of St. Mungos the man was already bleeding to death. Healers came outside to take them in Owen and his mother were already there and helped the two males onto the beds. That night the healers did their best as Tobias and Owen’s father fought for their lives. It seemed that the wounds of Owen’s father were too big; he was almost missing an entire leg. The blood replenishing potion couldn’t work up to the losing blood because the wounds were hard to close. The man died that night while Tobias was still fighting for his own life.
The boy seemed to live after a few days there were only scars left his entire upper body was full of scratches and bite marks but his legs and face seemed to be fine. Mr. and Mrs. Turner had gotten an owl which eventually ended with Grandpa Lewis reading the letter. He brought Tobias parents with him in a visiting hour where the healers explained what was going to happen. Abigail was furious she blamed the wizarding society and Owen’s family for all this. But she couldn’t believe it was real. Which was why thing went terribly wrong during the full moon of August. The days before he already didn’t feel good in his own skin and was snappy towards his parents and siblings. It was Tobias’ first full moon and he had no idea what was happening to his body. So when it happened he thought he was dying, he screamed and cried out to his parents who only looked at him in fear as if they didn’t know him. The family fled from the house and left Tobias behind. That was the last thing he saw before the rage took over. The werewolf wanted to break free from the house and go after the humans in the streets. He did. The wolf managed to smash himself through a window, not caring if he got hurt it only thought of meat.
The next day he woke up hurting all over, he never thought he could have pain in so many places at the same time. He was naked and confused, lying on the hard streets of the small English city they lived. There was a tasted of blood in his mouth which made him feel sick. Tobias threw up as soon as he moved. He got up because he knew he couldn’t stay here wherever he was. When he looked around it seemed he was in his own street, there were two bodies on the floor one that looked at the man from house 43 and the other… “Jimmy?” It couldn’t be, but that face that same black hair as he had those same blue eyes that now stared lifeless into nothing. “Hey, Jimmy wake up please,” he begged the dead body of his brother. Then his eyes fell on the wounds they looked the same as his scars. Then he remembered vague flashbacks from the state he had been in. “No, no, no.” Tobias fell through his knees and cried at his brother’s corpse. Just then people calling themselves ‘aurors’ came in. Tobias was taken away from the scene and covered in robes one of the aurors was wearing.
Staying a night at Mungo’s to get his wounds treated, he eventually was send home. The aurors had a hard time deciding who was at fault here. They could hardly send a twelve year old to Azkaban for this as he had no idea what was happening due to the lack of information he and his family had.
When he returned home, he wasn’t accepted with warmth. It was very clear that the family was scared of him and didn’t want him anymore. They tried to ignore him until one day during dinner mother suddenly fell into tears and started to yell at Tobias. “Monster, murderer! Give me Jim back give me back my son! You destroy everything. Get lost, go out of my house! I don’t know you, you’re not my Tobias. I hate you!” The woman started picking him up and put him out of the door. Father tried to stop her but eventually gave in because he knew they had to choose for their other children’s safety. How could they grow up normally while being in fear?
Tobias was heartbroken, he was simply lost. The words echoed in his head and would forever haunt him. He spend an hour just sitting in front of the door. But when he realized he really no longer was welcome he just started running and running and running. Until his legs could no longer carry him and he had to rest. His parents never left a message to Hogwarts the family completely shut themselves off from the magical world and pretended they'd never heard of such thing. They even pretended that they never had a child named Tobias.
Tobias was lucky it was summer, the nights weren’t that cold. The next months were uncertain; he just wandered around the streets until muggle police found him and figured something was off. When the man started questioning the boy no answer came and he brought him to the police office.
Eventually Tobias was brought to an orphanage where he would spend the next half month. This entire time he hadn’t said a word he just curled up into a ball and stared in front of him, barely eating. When the next full moon approached, he knew it wasn’t safe for the other children so he ran away.
During the winter he wondered everyday if he was going to make it eventually a young woman picked him up the streets and brought him home. She was a witch and her husband seemed to know one or two things about werewolves. They had no children of their own yet and were willing to take him in. Tobias never returned to Hogwarts but they taught him things even spells. During the full moon they’d lock him up in the cellar to take him out the next morning and treat his wounds. Tobias started smiling again and suddenly opened up to these people. Even with the torturing transformations he wasn’t alone. He stayed for a few months until the couple were expecting a child of their own and suddenly didn’t seem to have time to look after Toby. A werewolf teen wasn’t just anything. And it didn’t help that the woman fell sick the later months. Tobias decided to write a thanks and goodbye letter, packed as many things as he could and once more left. He was now almost thirteen.
He reverted back to his life of stealing and finding small shelters, wondering if he could make it through the next month. A lot of bad things happened to him, he was treated badly by the people he came across or thrown rocks at by other children. His appearance had said enough about his way of life. Tobias grew aggressive and attacked the children biting them and harming them in his human form. He grew more wolfish with each week.
Early July he was found by JACK O'CONNOR . The current people he was staying with had contacted this teacher upon recognition. At first Toby was simply shocked and scared, he no longer was the same boy from Hogwarts. Eventually the teacher got through him and learned about his situation. Tobias offered him a return to Hogwarts for the next year. He'd be one year behind but still had a chance. He’d be doing his second year where other kids his age were entering their third but he didn’t mind.
During the summer he would stay in an orphanage for magical children where he did seem to get the treatment he needed. There was this one potion that let him keep his sanity during the monthly change and the people seemed supportive. Only slowly he figured out they mostly kept him to teach the other kids tolerance. He was just a learning tool to them it seemed. Perhaps he was only paranoid but he couldn’t really trust these people who were too kind to have any real good intentions. Tobias grew snappy and edgy towards the caretakers, showing the exact behavior they didn’t want to teach the children. He threatened one of the nannies, it had gotten to the point where he made her cry.
At school he was having a better time, making friends and actually getting into the school work. He didn’t want to waste his life. The boy worked hard so he would be able to provide for himself in the future. He was showing great improvement despite his trauma. Hogwarts was his home.
Everything would come to a fall in 2016 where there accident with the werewolves happened. Toby already knew his fate was sealed. When the new announcement came that he would have to leave after finishing his fourth year, he world shattered to pieces. The last month at school he spend shut in, not attending any class, just crying in his bed. The boy refused to talk to anyone.
Returning to the orphanage for summer wasn’t in for him either. When he arrived at the doorstep, they refused to let him enter. He was a danger to the other kids.
Where would he go now? It was back to roaming the streets. Only this time he was a bitter sixteen year old, no longer a cute scared child. People didn’t trust to let him in as quickly anymore. Especially as his scars were very obvious. Having no diploma or anything it was impossible to get any legal work. A young person like Tobias would easily get exploited by bad people. Which obviously happened.
In these two years he had sold his body and soul to just get by. Having no access to wolfsbane, he sometimes had left a bloodbath behind. If it weren’t for the fact he could cover trails easily, he probably would’ve been caught by now. At this point he feels indifferent about the people who lost their lives to his transformation. Death is the better option when the other is living a life like his own. He doesn’t have a very bright outlook on life, so he doesn’t care what he puts in his body. It’s just living by the day.

Roleplay example:
Faith usually wasn’t too big on mischief. But one of the Gryffindor prefects had dropped the password to the prefect bathroom which she always wanted to see. What better way to explore it than with a friend. She had asked Mavi and almost asked Grace too but then she realised the pure Hufflepuff Prefect would probably stop them. Sorry Grace, I adore you but you’ll have to give me this moment.
“Sweet Merlin it works,” she whispered with lots of enthusiasm as she checked behind them if someone was near. “Come let’s go in before anyone sees us.” Faith tugged the Ravenclaw inside. “Wow,” her eyes widened upon seeing the bath. “And we’ve got to deal with simple showers. Merlin I wish I were a prefect.” Suddenly a very bad yet good idea popped in her mind. “Shall we go in?”
