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!

Scar was hungry but she was not hungry. She actually kind of felt sick and maybe she was just a bit under the weather but she promised Elijah to help him with his homework since Ryker was actually sick in bed with the damn flu. She could imagine the bug going around the school but maybe she'll convince Elijah to get Ryker some food and vitamines.
Scar's heals clicked on the floor as she made her way to the Gryffindor table. She ignored everyone there before finding Elijah and sat down beside him.
"Hey asshat, what are we having for breakfast?" she asked with a slight smile and waved some guy off before he even had a chance to talk to her. God.
Breakfast at last - and away from the dorms. He was thankful that he wasn't even a girl cause boys weren't allowed in the girls dorms and last thing he needed was to catch whatever Ryker had. The male had managed to avoid getting sick a lot, and he didn't want his sister to be the one to give him a virus. He couldn't remember the last time he had the flu. So yes, he was staying as far away from his twin sister as possible and the girls she shared the dorm with. He had a record to maintain here.
The eggs, bacon and toast was on his plate when he saw his Slytherin friend take a seat next to him and he nodded at the plate, pushing it toward her a bit. He didn't mind sharing with her or Ryker. "Eggs, bacon and toast. I ate the sausages already." he responded as he stuffed his face with the last bite of the sausage.
He threw her a glance at her at the mention of his sister. "As far as I know she's complaining that she can't cuddle her girlfriend. And I'm staying away from her while she suffers. I don't need the thing she has."

Scarlett rarely ever got sick herself, she was actually surprise it hit Ryker. She wasn't the biggest fan of the girl but she could hardly believe that she got sick. Scarlett snorted at the plate of food and just reached for a glass of juice instead.
"Breakfast of champions hmm?" she joked a bit and bumped Elijah's shoulder a bit not really interested in his food. Scarlett could only imagine the amount of carbs and calories she did not need to gain from this.
"What happened to sibling love? Aren't you supposed to get her better?" she asked and laughed a bit. Scarlett rolled her eyes and sipped from her juice.
"Well let me entertain you then. Let's do something, anything to make this dreadful day less dreadful." she offered.
Elijah gave Scarlett a smirk as he took the dish back, grabbing a slice of toast and taking a huge bite out of it. His eyes moved around the Great Hall and he snickered when he eyed Morgan giving him a cold glare across the room. He knew she had suffered two losses in this past several weeks but she didn't need to glare at him. It wasn't his fault his sister his sister was sick. He just huffed, and glanced at Scarlett for a moment and nodded. "Sibling love? No. This is the only time I want her to stay away from me. I gotta stay healthy." he took another bite.
He grabbed a napkin to wipe off his face and his fingers as he eyed his friend. "What do you have in mind my dear? Sneaking out of the Castle and having our own fun?" he asked before grabbing a cup of juice and took a sip from it, giving a happy noise.

Scar had her hands folded neatly in her lap as she sat beside Elijah. She liked her friend but he was just a guy she enjoyed spending time with, nothing more. The brunette listened to him and followed his gaze towards an angry redhead. Scar had seen her about in the common room and she was obviously from her house but the name escaped her.
"Who is that? Angry ex?" she asked and cocked her head to the side as she eyed Elijah who seemed to be annoyed by the looks the girl gave him. Well this was fun.
"Sneak out? Oh I don't sneak out. I walk out." she was too damn proud to sneak. She wasn't a little kid anymore. Scar walked out with her head held high and so far it worked.
"We could get a real drink perhaps." She offered and shrugged.
Elijah looked around the Great Hall for a moment as he listened to his friend, chuckling a little bit as she asked who the girl was giving him the glare. He had no idea why Morgan was giving him the death glare, but he knew damn well that he should ignore it and walk away before he had his ass handed to him by her again. "Me and Morgan? Oh, no. No. Nope. She's my sister's girlfriend and apparently she is mad at me because my sister isn't around to entertain her. I'm going to ignore her because last thing I need is her reporting to my sister that I'm an ass." he gave her a glance and pushed his plate away.
Now, something real to drink. That's tempting. He could use all the drinks he can get his hands on before he were to be forced to be a productive student. "I love the way you think, honey. Let's get out of here before little miss redhead tries to murder me with her looks." he said and sent a wink over to Morgan.

Scar glanced over to the redhead and cocked her head. She looked very much like an angry ex but as Elijah explained the brunette was even more confused. How the fuck? Eugh who cared. She got up and adjusted her stylish outfit. Scarlett always wanted to look good, no matter where she went and what she did.
"She sounds like she needs a life." the brunette said with a slight frown. She didn't like people and if Morgan dared touching her she would curse the girl to next week. Honestly she had no time for teen drama.
"Wow.. well maybe give her the gryffindor password and let her get the flu?" she suggested before walking out of the great hall, waiting for Elijah at the door.
"I know the perfect place with the best firewhiskey in the country."
Elijah stood up, adjusting his jacket and grabbed a slice of bacon before headed toward Scarlett. There was no way in hell he'd give Morgan the password. Last time he did, she almost got caught and he didn't want her tattling on him. So no, she'd have to deal with being separated from Ryker for the day. Besides, if Ry wanted her, she'd find a way to get her girlfriend. He gave Morgan a wave with a smirk and she just flipped him the bird before he eyed his friend. "Nah. She can suffer without Ryker." he said and held his arm out.
He was going to be a gentleman. "Lead the way, m'lady." he said and eyed his friend. Sure she had a boyfriend and he didn't care at all. He'd still be the charming little punk he was because he adores all the ladies who had the time of day for him. He didn't always think of getting some.

Truth be told, she couldn't wait to get the hell out of here. Though soon she was going to be eighteen and she would pass the stupid age of 17 and actually be able to do things with the guy she likes. The brunette and ran a hand through her hair before linking her arm with Elijah's. She was not at all interested in his sister's love life drama.
"Such a gentleman, how are you still single?" she asked him with a playful smirk. She honestly didn't understand but then again she saw him whoring about too so maybe he was happy that way? Scarlett shrugged it off and walked out of the school with her head held high.
"So what are you going to drink to hmm? We're almost eighteen my friend."
Elijah had been thinking of what he was going to do after Hogwarts, and he was a little lost about it. He knew he needed to keep his grades up and his nose clean if he wanted to play professional Qudditch and he also wanted that motorcycle he was saving up for. He had a summer job, a muggle job but he knew what to do with the work that's given to him. He didn't need magic to fix bikes or cars. He was quite proud that his father had set up a Muggle bank account so his money can go in there and he can save easily.
There was a chuckle from the male when she asked how he was still single and he looked at her as they headed out of the school. "I actually don't know. Guess I'm not a relationship type of guy but...I'm working on that." he started and thought of that bartender.
"I'm trying to get this girls attention at The Three Broomsticks."

Scarlett walked with her friend to Hogsmeade and thought about her own future. She wanted definitely to become a healer of sorts. God knows Teddy could use a healer by his side every now and then. Then again she always thought about working for the law but they were so against Teddy and his cause that she refused to be a part of that.
Scarlett's life was complicated because her family expected so much of her and she could give so little. The girl sighed a bit and cocked her head as she listened to him. "Any plans when we graduate?" she asked him and smiled a bit as he told her he wasn't the relationship type yet. That was interesting.
"A bartender? Way to go!" she laughed a bit. "My boyfriend is like not in school either. What is she like? Tell me everything Young!"
Elijah had never thought he'd settle down and have someone to actually love. There was a time where he had his sister set him up with a girl, and the girl was too clingy for his own liking. It took him months to finally get rid of her and he didn't trust his own sister with his relationship problems. Last thing he needed was a repeat of fifth year all over again and the fact that he grumbled to his sister to help get rid of the girl didn't work much at all. Did the girl have some love potion or something? The thought made Eli shudder at the thought of that awful year.
"Oh jeez. I don't know. Maybe get scouted and play professionally or I work in the muggle world." he said with a shrug, thinking if he can get scouted. Whichever comes first. All he knows he wanted that damn motorcycle at his father's garage. It was his dream to own that baby, and maybe he can get a girl.
"I don't think she sees me like that, Scar. Like...I try and she's just...." he stopped and shook his head. Women were too damn stubborn for their own good.

Scarlett stopped in her tracks. Of course not all women were attracted to a certain person but Eli's charms should work enough to get something out of a woman. Nothing seemed, impossible and so Scarlett saw this as the perfect opportunity to do something about it. The brunette smirked a but and moved in front of her friend.
She started to fix his outfit and frowned. "Well, that is because she is playing you." she said and rose her eyebrow ever so slightly as she used her hands to fix is shirt.
"Women play hard to get and you know why?" she asked him and cocked her head to the side a little, hoping he had at least enough manhood to man up for this one. "Because they want effort, they don't just want a random shag or a makeout session with a boy..." she shook her head.
Elijah almost tripped when she suddenly stopped in her tracks, and he eyed her rather confused as he eyed his friend suspiciously. The male had no idea what was going in her head, and it worried him a bit because if hadn't really told anyone about this girl. Sure, his sister and two of his friends knew that he had his eyes on her, he's been caught staring at the bartender during a day they went to Hogsmeade together. He wanted to give this bartender all his attention, and he swore off flings until he either got a flat out no, or a slap across the face. Maybe he was just a fool.
The male gave his friend a slight pout when she suddenly stepped in front of him, and started to fix his outfit. He wanted to protest, but he knew damn well she was trying to help him get the girl and hope he doesn't fail at this thing. "Oh, I know they play hard to get. Hell, you never gave me a time of day back in the day." he snickered slightly, and eyed his friend.
"I think I can do that. But what if she's actually not interested?"

Scarlett stopped fixing his outfit when she decided she was done and smiled a bit. The brunette took his arm and walked towards Hogsmeade again. Honestly she just wanted Elijah be happy. The brunette grinned a bit and looked him over.
"Oh come on Elijah. You are a catch and I can bet that she is into you." she told him with a grin and bumped his shoulder with her own. She could see he really wanted this and for once she felt like maybe she needed to appreciate him more.
