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
Aaron was raised in Dublin, but he was always fond of New York. His mother was a New York born and bred Muggle. He didn't grow up there, of course. He grew up in Ireland, but he moved to New York when his parents retired to stay closer to them.
He was a Hufflepuff when he was in school, but Aaron didn't technically graduate from school, much to his parents' chagrin. Instead, he dropped out in his sixth year after he turned seventeen to start touring with his band. That year was busy. By night he was in a rock band and by day, when he could, he helped behind the scenes with Potterwatch during the war. He never went on air, but helped behind the scenes. Being in the music industry he knew a bit about radio and he wanted to help where he could.
Despite having dropped out of school, he was the only one of his band who went back to school to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts. He had a lot of friends die that day so he doesn't like talking about it much.
In 2001 he had the closest thing he'd ever had to a girlfriend. Their tryst had only lasted about a month, but about ten months later he was informed that he was a father and his daughter's mother had given up custody so he had to choose between letting his kid grow up in the system or raising her himself. Naturally, he took his daughter in, raising her in New York with the help of his parents. When his mum died, he and his kid decided to move back to the U.K. He wanted to buy another bar, but has yet to find one that he wants to buy. He and his daughter are currently living on a farm with his cousin and Aaron recently took the job as the groundskeeper at Hogwarts so he's making money until he finally finds the next bar he wasn't to buy.
Colwynn stuck her tongue out at Agnes when she took the flask away. She didn't know whose it was, nor did she care. That was just the way things were at a party. Boundaries and germs didn't exist. At least that's how it was a good party. When she was introduced with the identifier that she wasn't worthy of a Sylvia Plath copycat death, Colwynn said, "I know my place. You shouldn't make that sound like a bad thing. I mean, fuck, I'm an American, isn't that shameful enough?"
Colwynn snickered at the mention of Justin Timberlake's ramen noodle hair. "Oh, be still my heart. You can't deny that Timberlake had style." She made a face at Dio when he called her a broke bitch. It was true, but that didn't mean he knew her well enough to call her a bitch. Maybe it was his way of flirting? If so, Colwynn didn't find it all too charming. She knew too many of the 'bad boy' types, and they'd lost appeal to her. "Thanks, I guess," she said warily, giving Agnes a look that quietly said 'What's with this guy?'
When it came time for her to spin the bottle, she was hoping that it wouldn't land on Dio. She'd be okay with just about anyone else. She'd rather not have to kiss Aggy, purely because Aggy was one of her only friends and that might make things weird, but if it saved her from kissing Dio...she'd be alright with it.
She heaved a sigh of relief when the bottle landed on a Gryffindor boy she hadn't ever met before. He was cute, though. Something about the game was bringing out the competitive side of her. Not that you could be competitive about kissing. Or at least you wouldn't think so. "Stay there," she told the boy as she stood up and walked across the circle to him. "Hey. I'm Colwynn," she introduced herself briefly before she promptly straddled his lap and kissed him hard. It didn't take long before she was full-on making out with him, but she stopped just as suddenly as she started, pulling away with a knowing smirk. "I didn't catch your name, but it was nice to meet you." She gave him another quick kiss on the cheek, not giving him hardly any time to get a word in before returning to her seat next to Agnes. "This is fun," she said to her friend. "I don't know why I've never played this game before."
