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!

HISTORY
- Growing up as the only boy of a family with 7 children put a lot of weight on his shoulders. The big conflict between magical families in his country which had almost wiped out magic from it happened 500 years ago but they still felt it. Purebloods no longer really existed even if some families would claim they were. Muggles and wizards/witches from neighbouring countries such as Turkey, Iraq and Egypt were married into the few remaining wizarding families. Due to this, they were forced to live closer to the muggles of their country than for example English wizards and witches. Yet still they had to hide their identity.
All the boys of his age he played with were muggles and he couldn't tell about what his family was. As a boy he went to a muggle school. When he came of age he would go to Africa, Uagadou to get educated in magic.
- March 2011, the war started. Even if the family could protect themselves from muggle bombings, Jun saw nothing but destruction around him. Simple things like going out to get food was hard and scary. Muggle politcs had caused this and with this the hatred towards muggle started to grow within the young man. Nothing happened as their culture was quite traditional and conservative, even among wizard kind. The thoughts alone frustrated Jun, knowing they were bad.
-Growing up in the war, he held close contact with his parents through owl mail. Every time there was a bombing he was afraid something might have happened. At school far away from his home country, he felt safe but during the vacations, he was utterly terrified when he heard fighting and bombs in the distance.
- summer of 2016, Jun's squib older sister Suhana brought home 3 friends from her school that needed a place to stay. Their families had been captured. Yaman, the only boy of the group was Suhana's fiance. But while they stayed over, Jun discovered a part of himself that terrified him. Yaman and he grew close, very close. There was a tension between them that Yaman did not have with Suhana.
-One day, winter break(for Uagadou) 2016/2017 where Junaid was waiting for his sister at her school, Yaman found him instead. The two locked themselves in one of the boys' school toilets where they shared their first and only kiss. The door was pulled open and a phone camera was in their face. Jun felt his heart sink. They were pulled apart and beaten. With use of his magic, Junaid was able to flee but didn't realize what this would mean for Yaman. He heard the next day from Suhana that Yaman was stabbed 18 times and thrown off the school's roof.
-Jun's family turned against him once the video leaked out and he received death threats from Suhana's classmates. He knew it would be only a matter of time before someone caught him so he decided to flee, hiding among muggle refuges towards Europe. He didn't return to Uagadou as he'd walk into sisters and cousins that had spread the rumours. So he missed his owls. Instead he decided to learn the language of the country he now was staying in: English. He also applied at Hogwarts in hopes of picking up his education so he could have a future here. While still struggling with the language sometimes especially when he has to speak, his intelligence and hard work has gotten him pretty far
-He finished his first school year with decent grades and he was really proud of this. When he returned to the refugee camp for summer, the muggles living there didn’t seem very pleased to have the boy return. His school and whole being was weird. Above all the video of Yaman and him kissing had spread through the internet. Junaid feared for his life and had to endure bullying and violence until he could finally return to Hogwarts.
Tomorrow his blasted portkey would bring him back to the streets of London, thank god. This little village wasn’t suited for people like him. He didn’t blend in well and was told not to sleep on the benches the past two days at least eight times. Screw them. Seeing Hogwarts in the distance, the place where he wanted to be most didn’t do well for his mood. However a quick fix would solve his problems. He’d just have to keep himself entertained for a few more hours.
And Tobias had the best idea ever. He felt like throwing rotten tomatoes to the castle because 1: it was hilarious. And 2: laughing would make him feel better. Entering the Three Broomsticks he went straight to the bar. “Yo, why don’t you give me all your rotten fruit and vegetables. You cannot sell them anymore but I need them really badly,” he asked the bartender who returned him a confused look. Still the guy went back to check with the cook. “Oh why don’t you also poor me a beer, thanks handsome,” he winked at the lad.
Oh perhaps he could have a quick shag before returning back to the streets of London. There were plenty of people around his age here, now it was weekend. Licking his lips, Tobias tried to make himself look somewhat presentable. Now the stuff was kicking in, Tobias got into a good mood. The youngman hummed a song and danced a little on his own while checking out the crowd. He was about to approach a cute girl sitting with another hot friend when his eyes fell on a trio. For a second his mind couldn’t progress what he was seeing. Hadn’t he been high, the ex-Gryffindor would’ve ran away.
Now it seemed like the chance of his life to have a good time. “Hey there beautiful people. Got room for one more?” The curly haired young man winked at his old friends. Damn they grew up to be fiiinnnee. “Bet you all thought I’d be dead by now, huh?” He grinned seeing them again. "Look at you, you've all grown so tall. Except you, Ry. You're still tiny," he teased the female Gryffindor
