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!
Classes ended, students walked in and out of classrooms and many of them to the great hall for dinner. Ollie didn't feel like dinner tonight, she had what felt like a pit in her stomach and really just wanted to get into comfortable clothes and hang out with her friends whenever they would come to the dorm. The blonde walked past students, some even shoved to get her out of the way. Ollie just let out a sigh of relief when she faced the jungle and arrived safely to the Hufflepuff common room.
With the funny feeling in her stomach, Ollie quickly said hi to the people she passed before heading for the dorm room where her fluffy slippers awaited her arrival. The past few days have been quite eventful and not even because something happened to her but her friends and siblings seemed to live such exciting lives. What did she go through? was anything she did exciting or not? Clary seemed to go through many exciting things even though her siblings keep telling her to talk to the girl like she could even change her mind. Ollie just wanted to feel like she could also be an exciting person.. but how?
The girl wanted to become a healer, help people in need. Sure she read the news where no care was provided for wolves these days but that would surely change in the future! Ollie had been reading healing books wanting to know more, to know everything she could about it. As she slipped into comfortable clothes and her fluffy warm slippers, she curled up on her bed with a healing book her mother sent her. Time had slipped away it seemed as she read and thought about how she could change her own life for the better.
The dorm door swung open and Ollie's big blue eyes peeked up from the top of the book. "Oh hello! Is dinner time over already?" she asked and reached for her watch. "Oh dear I missed it all didn't I?" she giggled a bit with a blush on her cheeks. "How are you?"
Once classes had ended for Parker Tyrell, she had found herself debating if she should go to the Great Hall for dinner, or head back to the dorms to hide away. It had been a rough few weeks since the breakup and part of Parker wanted to hex the boy into a casket but apparently that was against the law. Parker had decided that she needed to move on, face the music and sit with her friends at the Hufflepuff table and avoid looking at the Slytherin table. Of course she hadn’t listened to herself and had sent multiple death glares toward the table in question but...he was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps the moron was with another girl.
Everyone was bound to suffer heartbreak at least once in their life and learn from their mistakes - something her siblings needed to remind her several times between the breakups. Did Parker listen? No. The heart wants what it wants and it had betrayed her several times - and it left her an angry bitter girl who believed love was not for her. She had better things to think of, perhaps the upcoming exams she should start studying for.
It had taken her the entire dinner to notice that her best friend was nowhere to be seen, causing her to be concerned for the girl because it wasn’t like her friend to miss meal times. The moment she had been finished with her meal, Parker had collected a couple of apples and grabbed her bag, excusing herself from the table.
Several minutes later Parker had walked into the dorm room, her eyes scanning her friend’s bed and she had smiled a bit as she tossed her bag toward her own bed and flopped on Ollie’s bed beside her. ”An apple a day keeps the...healer away.” she made the joke as she held up the apple. ”Missed you at dinner. I could’ve died!”

It had been a few days since the whole... debacle - yes, that's what she was calling it - in the great hall where she'd been confronted in front of everyone, called out as the other woman in front of everyone. It had been embarrassing and shameful and in all honesty, Lydia wanted to crawl underneath her bed and hide - or maybe not, because that was an awful tiny space and she didn't want to get trapped. But maybe if she managed to disappear, the pointing and murmuring every time she walked past a group of people would stop.
As a result, Lydia had been avoiding the great hall for the most part, instead diving into her trunk full of snacks to sustain herself and asking Josh and Danica to sneak her bits and pieces where they could. That was one benefit about being a triplet - you could always rely on them to feed you, even if you had done a terrible thing and they were likely judging you internally.
Pushing into the dorm room, Lydia bit down on her lower lip as she caught sight of both Parker and Ollie already sitting there, huddled up on Ollie's bed. She knew the latter wasn't judging her... but Parker? She couldn't quite tell. "Hey guys," she greeted quietly, before heading towards her own bed and curling up on her side. "Swap you death for food any day now, Parker." Was that too morbid to say aloud? Probably, but at this rate... she'd take it. "Have you guys seen Dani around? I think we keep missing each other. All that echo-location stuff is reserved for twins. Us triplets don't get that luxury." For the first time in what felt like days, the smallest of smiles tugged at the side of her lips.

Dinner had seemed oddly quiet. Danica had sat across from Parker at the Hufflepuff table, but the rest of their friends were nowhere to be seen. Including her own sister, which she had half expected, but she couldn't stop herself from being worried that Lydia had missed yet another meal. Parker excused herself early, and Dani, hating the thought of sitting alone, had immediately gotten up and made a beeline downstairs to the kitchen. Whatever hadn't been used for dinner, she was going to take back to Lydia.
Balancing a plate on one hand like some sort of waitress in an unusual uniform, she ducked into the common room and made her way into the fifth-year dorm. "Lydiaaa," she said, sing-songing, "I brought food for you." She deposited the plate onto the lid of her sister's trunk before flopping down next to her, glancing over at Ollie's equally occupied bed.
"Everyone at once--are we having a party? Where was my invitation? I'd have brought more food if I'd known," Dani said, smiling. The atmosphere in the room seemed weary and melancholy, and she was alarmed to see all her usually cheerful friends in a mood like this. She knew what was up with Lydia--but the other two? Had she simply not heard whatever awful rumors that the Avery twins could come up with yet? "If you don't come to dinner I can't catch up with you, Ollie. We'll just have to do it now. What's going on with you?" With that, she plucked a piece of potato from Lydia's plate, popping it into her mouth.
It wasn't like Ollie to worry people, not ever. The blonde girl never even meant to worry her best friend when she walked into the dorm with a bag of apples. Ollie watched the bag fall onto her bed as Parker threw it on there and just closed her book, tucking it slightly under her pillow for later. Ollie shifted in her bed and tucked a lock of hair behind her own ear. "I do love apples." she responded with a smile and reached for an apple, using her wand to slice it up.
"Oh I am doing totally fine! I was just not feeling well." she assured Parker before turning her attention to Lydia who seemed really upset still. Ollie grabbed an apple slice and held it out to Lydia. "Are you sure? These slices are really good! Besides you are too special to die now! You have a whole life ahead of you!" Ollie told her a bit confused because she had no idea why Lydia would want to die rather than enjoy an apple. "This isn't snow white's apple.." she added and took a bite. "See?" Ollie gave Lydia a smile.
"Oh no I haven't yet, wasn't she at dinner?" she asked and eyed Parker before Dani actually came into the dorm as well. "There she is!" she said with a smile feeling better already. "Oh we have apples!" she said and nudged at the bag Parker brought. "I'm so sorry! I was just having a bad tummy ache but I feel loads better now!" she said mostly because she wasn't think of the pain but rather tried to converse with her friends. "How are you all doing? How was dinner?"

Parker had set up, grabbing an apple for herself as Lydia had come into the dorm room and she had her eyes on the one third of the triplet set. The female didn’t remember seeing Lydia at dinner, knowing what had happened to her a few days ago still fresh in her mind. Parker herself was humiliated once or twice in the very place Lydia had, but she had learned to move on and let it go. Sorta. A part of her still wanted to murder her ex-boyfriend but she wasn’t going to bring that up at that very moment. Instead she had cut her own apples in slices, her eyebrows raised as Lydia would trade death for food. It made the girl almost drop her apple. ”Dark Lydia…” she had told her friend and glanced at Ollie for a moment.
”Dani was with me in the Great Hall. Blocking my view from the Slytherin table. My hero…” she said as she popped a slice into her mouth. It was that moment she had heard the second of the triplet set with her sing-songing voice and her head tilted as she saw their friend walk into the dorm.
”It wouldn’t be a party without you, Dani…” Parker winked at the girl as she grabbed another apple slice, listening to Ollie.
”You better not be pregnant, Ollie. I’ll kill Gabe.” she said, looking at her friend.

Maybe this was just what she needed - what she had needed for the past few days: a distraction. Luckily for her, her roommates always provided great ones. Watching Parker nearly drop her apple in shock over her words made Lydia brows raise slightly in amusement because Merlin, what she said really had been morbid, hadn't it? Before she comment on it, Ollie was capturing her attention with an impressive sell on the apple she was nibbling on. "Yeah, I don't think apple slices will be enough to convince me to not to swap. No matter how amazing juicy they are," Lydia quipped back, a small smile sliding onto her lips at Ollie's eternal optimism. It seemed like she was never sad, not even when she wasn't feeling well... Lydia envied that at times.
"Hopefully she'll be here soon... from the Slytherin table? What, is Oscar being a prat again?" Lydia asked, blinking. She knew quite knew what was going on being Oscar and Parker. It wasn't that she didn't care enough, it was just hard to keep track of. She was grateful in a lot of ways that the romances she read about in her books (books that were not just centered around romance because the genre was a trash majority of the time) weren't this messy. "You should bribe Ollie into giving Dani some house points, bump up there. I think we're trailing last time I looked."
It turned out the mention of her sister was enough to have the much more charismatic, upbeat Llewellyn floating into the room with a plate full of food that made her tummy rumble. Okay, maybe she'd save the death for later, and just scoff the plate for you. "Did I ever tell you that you're my favourite sister?" she said, eyes lighting up as she grabbed the plate. "You're all great, but have it at Parker's apples if we're having a party, not my plate."
Mirroring Dani's actions, Lydia popped some potato in her mouth - some she nearly choked on as Parker asked if Ollie was pregnant. Merlin's left boob. This was payback for her nearly making Parker drop her apple earlier, she just knew it. Casting a look at her sister as if to say 'I know he's a dick but keep ya gob shut about Gabriel,' Lydia then looked curiously at Parker, then at Ollie. "You guys did it?" she asked outright.

"Yep, he is." Dani answered for Parker as she overheard the end of Lydia's question, knowing full well that her friend had been pointedly ignoring the Slytherin table. She loved her friends very much, but Merlin, they all made bad romantic choices. Secretly, she hoped that this time, Parker wouldn't get back together with Oscar--seeing that drama once had been bad enough. She was so sweet, she needed someone who matched that, not--some sleazy Slytherin. "I appreciate the compliment, but I'm your only sister, Lyds," she said, grinning, resisting the urge to take another bite off Lydia's plate.
She could feel her sister's gaze on her as Gabriel became the topic of conversation, and she hazarded one glance back at her, one that said but he is a dick, and I don't want a little version of him around! The Avery twins were the absolute worst, in her opinion, and she felt like it was a credit to her that she abandoned any thoughts of Greyson being attractive when he started spreading cruel rumors about the Llewellyns. Unlike some people!
"You're not allowed to get pregnant, Ollie, you're like, a prefect and stuff," Dani said, lounging back against Lydia's pillows. "Imagine trying to bring a baby to Hogwarts. It'd be terrible. You've got to use some sort of potion or something to stop it."
Ollie wasn't a stranger to the dislike people felt towards Gabriel, especially those close to her but she kept trying to show them that he was a good guy. If he was a bad person why would he even be in Hufflepuff with them? He was a boy and boys did boy things, her mother always told her that. Ollie wished everyone could just get along but she also knew very well that wasn't going to happen, she could still keep hoping though! The blonde girl eyed her best friend and frowned. "I'm not.." she said and then turned to Lydia, her cheeks flushing red.
"No we have... what is it?" she didn't understand what Lydia meant by doing it? What was it? Lunch? Dance? "No no I am not pregnant. I know that." she said and thought about the shiny badge on the robes she hung neatly on a chair beside her bed. No she wasn't pregnant.. for that she needed to have intimate relations which she hasn't yet. Wait.. did Lydia mean that by doing it? Ollie's big blue eyes looked at each of them in slight confusion.
"You guys are so silly! I could never bring babies anywhere! I am only a girl." she said and shook her head. "Babies are so cute though, maybe I will be in a healer ward full of little cuddly babies." she said and poked her own cheek. "Imagine the cute little cheeks! Oh gosh I don't think I would be able to resist touching them. Maybe I should not work with babies." she said and bit her lip. "How was your days though? Did you guys have fun in class?"
When Lydia had asked if Oscar was being a prat again, Parker had made a face at the thought of her ex-boyfriend being anything but a prat. Thankfully Dani had answered the question, causing Parker to smirk a bit as she worked on her apple. At least these girls would help her keep her mind off the Slytherin asshole for a little while - maybe she should just forget all about him and enjoy singlehood. The girl was only fifteen years old after all, she can wait on this dating thing until after she was done causing mayhem at Hogwarts.
The girl had glanced at her best friend, then at the other two for a second when Ollie had said she wasn’t pregnant and she let out a sigh of relief. Yes, she’d kill the boy if he even thought about taking advantage of her friend. ”Good. He needs to keep little Gabe away from you.” she commented as she listened Dani tell Ollie she wasn’t allowed to get pregnant, giving her a nod in agreement.
”I don’t know what world you’re living in, Ollie but babies are far from cute. Trust me, I’m not looking forward to going home to a newborn baby brother this summer.” she said as she finished off her apple slices.
Classes ended, students walked in and out of classrooms and many of them to the great hall for dinner. Ollie didn't feel like dinner tonight, she had what felt like a pit in her stomach and really just wanted to get into comfortable clothes and hang out with her friends whenever they would come to the dorm. The blonde walked past students, some even shoved to get her out of the way. Ollie just let out a sigh of relief when she faced the jungle and arrived safely to the Hufflepuff common room.
