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!
The weather was beginning to be tolerable without the need for a heavy winter cloak with added heating charms just to leave the confines of the ancient castle. This lead to an increased amount of outside activities amongst the students and in the courtyard there were huddles of friends littering the space, entertaining themselves with either stories of what the summertime will bring or various games such as exploding snap or wizarding chess.
One such student taking advantage of the good weather was a certain blonde young Avery; his delicate fingers danced over the pieces on his own board for a moment before making a winning move. The teenager glanced up at his opponent - a Ravenclaw, no less - and smirked because, ”is the sun in your eyes today, perhaps?” Gabriel offered as a reason for the reason the other’s performance was lack-lustre. ”Beaten by a Hufflepuff - the horror - I think as my spoils I shall have your scarf, please and thank you.”

Being outdoors was a bit overrated according to David but having heard that the weather was perfect that day decided to give up on working on his novel and enjoy some fresh air. What he wasn’t expecting was the many students talking among themselves or playing some sort of game. He wasn’t one for games, but he’d watch it with minor interest. To be honest, he had no idea how exploding snap worked and a part of him wanted to learn. Maybe it’ll pull him away from hiding inside his dorm room - maybe it’ll give him some sibling time.
David had found himself watching a certain blonde boy and a fellow Ravenclaw. Of course it had to be the Hufflepuff he didn’t entirely trust. Then again, he didn’t trust many people who were friends with his sisters. He believed this one would be taking advantage of Olivia but he decided not to start some sort of argument because he promised his dear sister he’d behave.
”Maybe he let you win? Ever thought about that?” David had asked as he crossed his arms, looking at the Ravenclaw and then at Avery.

The disgruntled Ravenclaw la-hoo-sa-her that sat in front of Gabriel groaned for a moment before they began to unwind the loosely coiled scarf from around their neck. ”Merlin, you’re as slow as you are stupid today Belfort,” Gabe laughed merrily, curling his long and nimble fingers in a come hither fashion as he waited for his spoils of war. He was surprised, though, to hear The Wallflower of Ravenclaw Tower speak up and the Avery turned his gaze over to David.
”Well it’s even more stupid to let someone else win, then, isn’t it Jones?” Gabe replied, a forced smile gracing his chiselled face because he hated suffering fools ... this one was just lucky that he was dating Olivia. ”Do you care to try and redeem the Ravenclaw house in a game of Wizarding Chess against a mere Hufflepuff?” he asked as he placed the scarf he’d won down beside him.
