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!
God I miss you. I know it sounds cheesy but these days, with my belly getting bigger and my desire for chocolate growing with it, I just wish you were here with me. Of course I have friends but I only told one of them because I trust her the most and these days she is so stressed, so scared of what's out there coming after her I just don't want to be a bother to her either.
How are you? I heard about the accusations and I know you didn't do it. You don't even have to convince me because the last thing you'd do is put yourself and the kids over there in the pack in harms way. Do you know who did this to you though? Pretending to be you because honestly I think they're a bunch of sick individuals for doing this to you. My father saw the news and it took me forever to convince him it was all one big lie.
Talk to me, what's going on over there?
All the love,
Scarlett

I don't think it's cheesy at all to miss me. I am wonderful company - so say all the kiddies in camp, so it just makes sense really.
Seriously though, I miss you every day when I wake up and see the snowglobe on my bedside table. I think your pillow's stopped smelling like you now so if you'd be so kind as to send an old wolf a shirt or something, I'd find it easier to doze off. Look at us - you're cheesy, I'm creepy. We're a great pair, hmm? It's just the memory of climbing into bed, wrapping my arms around you to snug you in close... those memories help me wind down after a stressful day of dealing with attempting to get St Mungo's officials to overturn the ridiculous ban on helping werewolves.
I'm glad to hear that the baby is growing well and that you have at least one person at school that you can confide in. I can't imagine that it would be an easy task to hide the pregnancy from your room mates, let alone your class mates. Is it Nadya? I'm sorry that she's stressing - I wish I could offer some comforting words but as she's part-veela ... well, still the spotlight is on the Big Bad Wolves but recent legislation changes... I'd worry too, if I were any creature other than human. Have things settled down for your other friend? The vampire? I'm sure as long as she comes armed with chocolate you're not all that much of a bother.
I'm sorry that you had to hear of the accusations second hand like that. Honestly, even S. read the papers before I could talk to them. I'd never have even thought of doing something like that at St Mungo's - some of my friends were hurt in the chaos. If I knew who'd planned the attack I would have dissuaded them... with the way the Ministry has reacted in the past to werewolf attacks, barring our kind from medical assistance could have been easily predicted. I've been wracking my brain to try and figure out who and why ... no one in this pack, I can surmise that. Which can only mean one thing... which is even more troubling.
Things were good here until I had a run in with Uncle Harry. He knew I wasn't a part of the attack but I blurted out that I wouldn't be so stupid, especially with a baby on the way and... he didn't take the news that great. I know that he's helped me since in regards to the aurors, otherwise I'd probably be treated far worse than I am now, but my personal attempts to contact him via owl have resulted in my letters coming back as 'return to sender'.
Diana has sent some chocolate with herbs to bring you strength and energy in this last trimester. The pack sends their love.
Don't worry, my love, we'll be together again soon and your long-term camping adventure will begin before you really want it to HAHA!

You definitely are very wonderful company, the kids don't lie.
You make this even more cheesy than it already is! I packed a shirt with it and a scarf, though it's not very cold outside a scarf tends to soak up most of a girl's perfume. I know it must be tough dealing with the hospital issues, how are we even going to be able to be at the hospital together in a few months? The baby is coming sooner than either of us realize. Maybe I should imagine your arms around me, it might ease the stress for me as well.
It is really nice to have Nadya though I am starting to feel less like a friend and more like a burden to her. She is the sweetest but these issues with people with different blood types, species and so on.. it makes it all just weigh even more on her shoulders.
Look don't worry about how I hear things and the possible effect it has. I know better which honestly is a blessing because the thought of them thinking my baby's father is a man like those reporters describe? It sucks. It's a big lie, but it sucks. No one in that pack would hurt a fly so I am afraid you have to look beyond that, just like my father's enemies, not all of them live close by. If there is anything I learned from him is the biggest enemy is often the loudest.
Wait your uncle is ignoring you? Because of the baby? Why? It does not make sense at all.
Tell Diana thank you, the chocolates were lovely and I can't wait until the baby is out of my body because a girl can only pee so much without wanting to just take up residence in a bathroom.
I look forward to many adventures,
Love,
Scarlett
