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!

Okay, so maybe the warming spell that had been taught about in Charms class all those years ago wasn't meant for this purpose, but if it gave Matheus the opportunity to go for a dip in the lake (squid be damned) and show off his washboard abs in the middle of March? Then yes. Hell yes, he was taking advantage of it and honestly, so were the other people in his vicinity because who didn't want to see his abs? They were a blessing to the society at large, something that was definitely easy on the eyes. Really, he was just doing everybody else a favour.
Stepping out of the water in a pair of teeny tiny swimming trunks, Matheus wagged his head like a dog, flicking the water from his curls everywhere as he looked around the outskirts of the lake. There were a couple of people about, but who could he ask to join him for a dip? It was a hard choice, and Matheus bit down on his bottom lip in a very alluring way (if you asked him) as he tried to get someone to approach him first.

If she was being completely honest, she hadn't forgot about the kiss. The others the night of the spin the bottle had been brief, but to kiss her friends was... different. If she was being absolutely honest, kissing Matheus had been electric. It set her senses haywire, and she was tempted to step out of her comfort zone. Of course, this made her indifferent. She'd kissed people, yes, but that was it.
She thought into it more than she should as a part of her newly acquired impulsiveness nearly made her test the waters and see if he wanted to sneak off and give it another go, but she didn't. Nope. She chose to be practical. The practical reasoning told her he was a wonderful person that enjoyed life by enjoying others physically. It would've only been that and what if her head didn't sync up with things like her ridiculous notions of romance? What if she suddenly "caught feelings" as people put it and she just had to awkwardly figure that mess out on top of her frist... encounter with another person?...Yeah, it was better for her to cool off.
And she had! Orrrrr, at least she thought...
She walked with a group of friends down to the lake with the initial intention to study, but as they noticed several other students jumping in, the lot decided in a bit of enthusiastic peer pressure that they all wanted to join in. Vik wasn't against it, but damn... She didn't have a great past when it came to the lake in the cold months. As thought made her smirk a bit, she saw just the devil that had danced through her mind. She switch promptly with a bit of magic, waving to Matheus after she place her warming charm effortlessly with the wave of her hand over her swimming suit. She had nearly perfected her endless magic, luckily enough for them both this time around.

In the midst of Matheus' surely smolderingeye gesturing, trying to get someone to come over and approach him, a vision in white waved to him and his throat went dry because puta merda! Holy shit, he wasn't the only good looking one out here. Unashamedly, Matheus' eyes drank her in, following the smooth, long line of her legs to the gentle curve of her waist and then to... well, you get the idea.
Never one to be shy and not seize the opportunity, Matheus sauntered over to Vik, his fingers pushing his damp curls off his face once more. "I'm going to write in my diary about this later. 'Dear Diary, went to swim in the lake to give everyone a show... ended up getting upstaged, but not complaining because I got a hell of a show instead,'" he said, a huge grin on his face as he pretended to scribe the words mid-air. He was so used to putting on the little dear diary act by now that he was an expert. Just call him Ian McKellen - except, like, sixty years younger and with a way sexier accent. "You miss me?"

She reddened a bit, rolling her eyes gently. He was so theatrical sometimes. She tied her hair back as he went on with his diary bit, " I bet that bit usually works, too, " She smirked a bit, giving him a gentle, playful nudge with her elbow. She knew she shouldnt look him over. Frankly, it was dangerous. He was absolutely gorgeous... So... Beautiful.. Shit. Did she have a crush on Matheus? As if it was some question. She wasn't stupid. She could feel it in several ways, but she wasn't sure it was a good idea to do anything about it. He was beautiful, but he didn't exactly strike her as the settling type.
She took a page out of his book, " Dear Diary, Matheus gave a long-winded bit that may have worked just a little. Maybe it was just the cute little trunks or the luscious locks, but I decided to bite, " She smirked a bit with a chuckle. Uhg... That sultry voice. She cleared her throat, " I survived, " She teased, but honestly, maybe she had wanted to see him a bit since their last meeting... Whether she should have or not, " Eh, I've been busy, " She remarked as she gestured over to all the people swimming and cheering, " Done swimming, already?" She asked, quirking a brow curiously.

"What normally works? My fantastic acting skills, or my great dic... tation," Matheus joked, intentionally drawing out the word with a wink. But in fact, she was wrong - unfortunately, most didn't actually find his great little theatrical 'dear diary' bit all that alluring, instead finding it 'dorky' but oh well. He knew he was hilarious, and self-love was that all that really mattered, right? "But hey, if that works on you... I'll pretend to write in my diary all day. If you're lucky, I might even show you my real diary." Not that it existed, but he was sure he could always accio someone else's like... like Nico's - or maybe not. Merlin knew what his kid brother wrote down in his hypothetical (probably not real) diary.
"I would like you to bite," he said, taking a step forward into Viktoriya's space, his eyes dancing. "What would you like me to do?" He didn't expect her to burst out in dirty talk at all, but making her turn red had become somewhat of a hobby of his. She looked gorgeous all pink-cheeked and sheepish, even prettier than usual. It made him wonder what she'd look like flushed all over, preferably under his bed sheets. He raised an eye at her response to his question of if she'd missed him before laughing loudly. "Too busy to miss me? That hurts, Vik. Here I was hoping you'd been pining after me something terrible, hoping to get another piece of this some day."
Vik was asking if he was done swimming and a mischievous glint entered his eye because, "Why, did you want to go for a swim with me? Promise I'll let you go in all by yourself. Won't push you or anything." It was a cheeky little reference all the way back to his fifth year, her fourth when he'd accidentally knocked her into the lake like the smooth operator he was.

she chuckled a bit, " Honestly? It's as strangely dorky as it is charming, " She chuckled a bit as she moved her eyes away from his mostly exposed body. What on earth was she starting him over like that for anyways? He was just another human being... An extremely attractive human being, but still! A human being! She didn't have these issues with other people, so why him? "I won't say it doesnt work, but maybe a different tactic?" She chuckled a bit shaking her head.
"I..." Her breath hitches as her eyes looked up at his, nearly tripping as she slid back. She didn't want him out of her space, but having him in it seemed like a borderline decision to doing something really stupid. "I want to.. You to.." She fumbled out of frustration. She hated that this was her damn reaction. She always had a comeback. Always. And yet even with as much as she knew about him, she hadn't been expecting that. "Swimming. Let's swim." She rolled her eyes as he laughed, chuckling a bit, " I was certainly feeling something, " She laughed, shaking her head.
She laughed at his joke, " I should throw you in for good measure, but you without you clothes seems pretty uneven, " She laughed, considering her experiences had been fully clothed and freezing cold. She shook her head, " But sure. I'd actually love to. But keep in mind, I'll get back to you when we're even, " She joked.

"It's good to know the two can be mutually exclusive - just like me being a Brazilian beefcake and not being dumb," Matheus said, grin still playing on his lips. Most... if not all the people in his life seemed to think he was intelligent as a bag of rocks, something that wasn't true. He had some smarts hiding behind his winning personality, but showing them off wasn't his go to. Instead, he preferred to let lose and make people laugh and flirt with them. He lived to please (in more way than one), what could he say? "A different tactic. Any suggestions? Besides, you know, flicking my perfectly tousled curls and shooting unsuspecting people bedroom eyes?"
Matheus didn't miss the way Vik's breath seemed to catch nor did the fumbling over her words escape his notice. "What? You want me to bite you? I'm not opposed, but I'm great at being gentle if that's more your speed," he continued to tease, before stepping back out of his face. He didn't want to overwhelm her, as much fun as he was having riling her up. "As hot as you are - and I do mean that - you might need a heating charm first so you don't freeze." He'd cast his earlier, right before giving her and everyone else in the vicinity his little show of swimming.
"You? Throw me? I'd like to see you try," he said, eyeing her before letting out another loud guffaw at the suggestion that him being clothed would make things uneven. "People don't usually ask me to put on my clothes, but for you, anything. You'd just have to accio them for me first."

She let the moment pass, and almost wondered if she regret it just yet. She smiled a bit as her eyes avert away from his put to the water to look at... Well, anything that wasn't him for a moment while she gathered her wits and slowed her heart rate to a normal pace. As the redness calmed, "You may be very over the top, but I kind of like you-- r extra personality, " She added, realizing what almost came put of her mouth. What the hell? Was she just losing her wits just like that? She couldn't just blurt out something like that, right? Hell if she knew. It wasn't as if she went galavanting towards romance-- even if they were an interesting choice in novels.
She pursed her lips a bit clearing her throat a bit as she heard the words falling effortlessly. She wondered how much practice he'd had if it was this easy to make her heartbeat quicken, " On it, " She replied, trying her best to ignore the remarks he'd made as she waved her hands. The perks of endless magic, after all. "Hot as a summer day, " She remarked, feeling the warmth beat against her skin. It was admittedly much better.
She chuckled as he told her he put his clothes on for her as some sort of exception, " I'm honored you'd make such a sacrifice, " She rolled her eyes as she laugh as bit, making her way to the edge of the water. It was pretty deep, luckily. It made for a good place to jump in, " Ladies first, " She chuckled, running to the edge and flipping into the water. She was under the surface momentarily as she waited for him to show, smiling and waving to him from a bit of a distance to come join her.

Viktoriya's words had Matheus pausing because... there had definitely been a space between 'I kind of like you' and '-- r personality' and... even though he liked her, as a person, he wasn't interested in anything more than sleeping with her once, twice, maybe ten times. But if she wanted more than that, then he wasn't the guy to get with. He didn't do commitment - never had, never would. "Vik," he started off, before shaking his curls from his eyes to see her clearly. "If... look, I'm not looking for anything serious. Like, you're a cool girl and all, but... I'm not boyfriend material." Maybe he was getting ahead of himself, being too presumptuous, but it was better to let her know that now and not later, right?
Matheus watched as Vik waved her hands about before suddenly, she was announcing she was hot as a summer day. He definitely wasn't going to deny it and he shot her a small smirk, "Enough to make anyone around you melt." Watching as Vik dived in, admiring her form (her flipping form, of course), Matheus soon joined her with a great big splash, flicking a bit of water on her face as he broke up through the surface and then waded towards her. "So, now that I've gotten you well and truly wet -" Yes, he was going to make innuendos about that until the day he perished, "- what do you want to do?"
Okay, so maybe the warming spell that had been taught about in Charms class all those years ago wasn't meant for this purpose, but if it gave Matheus the opportunity to go for a dip in the lake (squid be damned) and show off his washboard abs in the middle of March? Then yes. Hell yes, he was taking advantage of it and honestly, so were the other people in his vicinity because who didn't want to see his abs?
