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!
Loyal and determined, Fleur will stand by those who earn her trust up to death itself if it proves necessary. Though she does not make friends easily, those who can see through her somewhat brusque outer coating will find a warm and loving personality on the inside.
However, many people take an immediate dislike to Fleur. Always ready with a scathing comment or put-down, she does little to endear herself to those that she regards as being already against her and sometimes manages to embitter others by her bluntness.

Bubbly and vivacious, Kitty would be anyone's friend for a Knut were it not for the fact that her enthusiasm and genuine love of people can be quite overwhelming for those who don't know her well. If there's one thing that she enjoys more than making new friends (which is debatable) then it's cuddling with her old ones. She's rather an innocent, and that combined with problems of a private and personal nature make her an easy target for bullying.

Sarcastic and sardonic in turns, Skye has the appearance of never taking anything seriously, and has a dark sense of humour which can grate on the nerves after a time. Nevertheless, those who get close enough to her to penetrate this outer shell can see her more sensitive side; she dislikes injustice, and though she will almost always accompany any help she offers with a reproof for being stupid enough to get into such a situation in the first place, she can be relied on to do the best that she can to help.

Evie is athletic and very much given to all kinds of physical activity; she's never happy sitting still, and far prefers to be doing just about anything else. Of course this makes studying difficult, no matter how hard she tries, but at least she has never struggled to get on with Quidditch, and she spends every spare moment she can get in the air. She gets on well with both her sisters, being generally easygoing, and prefers to avoid conflict wherever she can.
Emma is something of a schemer, always thinking three steps ahead and prepared for any eventuality. She's an extremely capable lawyer, set to rise high in the profession, with the only potential barrier being her heavy involvement in her father's criminal enterprises, which she's been helping to manage ever since she left Hogwarts. She does have a heart, but it'll take time and patience to find it.
Cho is a hardworking woman dedicated to her job as Healer-in-Charge of the Dai Llewellyn Ward. She disagrees vocally with many new measures introduced against werewolves as someone who works with them every day, but bides her time for the sake of her four children, since her income is their only support. She is a loyal and principled individual just waiting to stand up for what she believes in.

Sophie is a girl with big dreams, not that she'd ever admit to it- because that would just be so not cool at all. She's convinced that reputation is everything and will go above and beyond in order to maintain her own, whoever she has to hurt to achieve it. She has no tolerance for people she perceives as doing stupid things. Her sense of morality is questionable, and though she will be loyal to those she considers worthy until her last breath, other people will have to look out for themselves- when it comes to relationships, loyalty is just out of the question, but she's perfectly happy to play around a little.
A hard, sharp woman with little tolerance for... well, anything, really; Laila is not noted for her patience. She has a razor tongue which she is quite prepared to use on anyone who irritates her irrespective of status or age, and unruly students would be well advised to take their mischief-making elsewhere; Laila doles out hard punishments at the slightest provocation. A pureblood in the traditional sense, she has no liking for Muggleborns and even halfbloods are tolerated under sufferance, though it should be noted that pure blood will be no excuse for stupidity or lack of effort. She is an ambitious woman with her sights set on ascension. Despite all this, she somehow manages to retain friends- your guess is as good as mine. Usually people of similar views, if not similar personalities, to herself, or those who find that riding the tiger is preferable to standing in front of it with a stick.
Quiet and reserved initially, Viv is constantly obsessed with keeping up appearances and maintaining family reputation, not out of her own predisposition but out of an unwillingness to disappoint her father. Although by no means convinced of the logic of pureblood supremacism, she does her best to keep up the belief externally, but her innate friendliness, despite being hidden under her reserved demeanour, prevents her from being especially inclined to express anti-Muggle sentiment, though when in the company of fellow purebloods, she will feel obliged to do her best. Catch her alone, however, and there's no one sweeter.
Okay SO. I have an idea between Evie and Sally? Sally is a Quidditch nut, and Evie very much appears to be the same, so I'd love for them to be really good friends if you were keen for it? Sally needs a few bros about and if Evie can fill that spot and would like Sally... then maybe they could have a thread.
Sounds like fun! Evie can definitely do all kinds of bro-ness, (it's a word) as long as it doesn't mean she can't wear lipgloss! But yes, she'd love to have someone to talk Quidditch with all the time.
