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!
Quirks and Habits:Withdrawn - Since December 2018, Shay had been pushing away all those nearby due to suffering a personal loss. The female would be found burying herself in her sketchbook, not talking to anyone and only half listen to the person speaking to her. It’s not personal, she’s just grieving.
Party Animal - Shay is the life of the party, or so what she believes. Before suffering her loss, she would often drag her girlfriend to any party. There was a time she’d flirt with random people while her girlfriend watched and would get in trouble for it. Oops.
Insomniac - Since she was a young girl, Shay had been suffering from insomnia due to her ongoing depression and other things. She would be awake at odd hours and barely sleep during the night which causes her to start nodding off in the classrooms sometimes.
Artistic - Shay can remember the first sketchbook she ever gotten and now has a huge collection of comics she had created over the years. The Slytherin girl would be seen with a sketchbook during classes or in the Great Hall. She’s rarely seen without it.
Likes: alcohol (when she can get her hands on it) - sleeping in - her baby brothers - tattoos - writing comics - coffee - defense against the dark arts - reading
Dislikes: dead silence - being interrupted - being alone - rats - spiders - death

history
TW: Death of Parents | Suicide | Murder | Alcohol Use | Depression
Shay Faulkner was born into a rich Pureblood family in Glasgow, Scotland. She is the second out of four children, and the only daughter of Alger & Regina Faulkner. Alger Faulkner was a businessman his entire life. Regina was a homemaker, staying home to raise their children while her husband traveled a lot due to business. Unfortunately, two years after the birth of Shay’s youngest brother, Regina died in what is said to be an accident. But that wasn’t it, in fact Regina Faulkner was murdered in cold blood by her own brother because of unknown reasons. Six year old Shay had witnessed the murder and had helped put away crazy Uncle Trevor - and her father had grew distant from his children.
Since the murder, Shay and her brothers were pretty much raised by Alger's parents due to their father being mostly absent due to business and what Shay had learned years later, alcoholism.
When Shay had gotten her letter to attend Hogwarts, she was excited and so were her grandparents. Her father unfortunately, wasn't there to help get her school supplies or see her off due to business. But the moment she had been sorted into Slytherin, he finally acknowledged her and said he was proud that she was in his house. Eleven year old Shay had believed that was the start of a relationship repair, but she was wrong because she had written to her father with no response.
The summer before Shay's fifth year, she had discovered her sexuality and had come out to her family. Even though her grandparents were old, they supported her for her coming out. It had made her nervous and she wanted to tell her father but when she had gone to her childhood home, she had found her father passed out on the couch. Even though she believed he was just sleeping, she had tried to wake him but he didn't respond to him. After trying to shake him awake, she had realized the worse had happened. The fifteen year old female had ran back to her grandparents and her grandfather had gone back to the house she had grown up in, discovering that his son was indeed dead. It was said that he had died from alcohol poisoning.
It was then Shay's life turned upside down.
When she went back to Hogwarts, she had started going to parties with friends and had gotten her hands on alcohol a few times.
Shay had continued her downward spiral while trying to keep her grades up and her younger brothers out of trouble even though it was them keeping her from repeating history with the alcohol.
Shay had started dating Lizzie Bennett during her sixth year, a romance that has a tragic ending. They were both troubled teenagers, bringing out the worst of each other and it had caused Shay some friendships. Shay had loved this girl deeply, even thought about marrying her one day.
That was until December 2018, when Shay was home for the holidays that she had received an owl from Lizzie's parents, letting her know that Lizzie had passed away due to some sort of poison she ingested. The death had caused Shay go further down the drain, and she had debated on dropping out of Hogwarts but her brothers had talked her out of it. Instead of dropping out, she had gone back and buried herself in her comics.
It had been a few months and Shay had yet to get over Lizzie.
And this is where her story begins...

Especially Mavican. Yes, Mavican Jones. The one person Casey didn't expect to actually like or feel anything for but it was there, and she hated it. She was still discovering on who she was, and knew that yes, she liked girls and never told anyone. Not even her best friend or even her brothers. No one knew, and sometimes she would find herself staring at the sixth year. She was surprised she wasn't even caught with it, and if she were, she'd just brush it off and say it was nothing. Nothing was bugging her. Casey did have the habit of staring into the distance for a little while. Which had just happened when she was flying, and ended up getting smacked by the Quaffle upside the head. It had made her wipe out, and now she was heading back to the dorm, limping and refusing to go to the Hospital Wing.
Why would someone toss the Quaffle at Casey? She had no idea. She was the seeker on the team, but for some reason she couldn't focus. Mavican wasn't the only distraction happening. The fact her parents had divorced over the summer was also flooding in her mind, and how her father had grunted when he packed up his bags and moved out of the house. Twenty-eight years of marriage down the loo because he wouldn't stop bullying his only daughter.
A sigh had left the short haired female as she slowly made her way into the dorm, biting down onto her lip. Maybe she should have went to the Hospital Wing, but lying down in her bunk wouldn't hurt her she figured.
She was embarrassed as it is. Last thing she needed was for the healer to find the bruise in a not so happy place. <p>
There was a happy groan as she took off her robes, tossing them on her trunk and ended up smacking her knee on said trunk. "OW! Son of a..."
