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!

Some people would think Casey is an odd little soul, and she wouldn't even correct them. Ever since she was a little kid, she climbed trees, or on top of the roof of the house without the help of anyone. She loved staying high off the ground so she can watch people below and make sure no one was causing trouble. Sure, she wasn't a Prefect, but she would try to help them out if needed. Then again, she enjoyed helping people out without even being asked and even offered to tutor people for free. This day Casey had found herself in a tree, straddling a branch while she studied. Her legs kicked back and forth as she read the spells in the book before she felt something hard hit her beside the head and she almost lost her balance but caught herself. There was a Slytherin seventh year snickering as he watched her and she just huffed.
"Do that again and you'll regret it." she snapped down at him before she saw him make a movement to throw another apple at her and she sighed. Of course this was one of the guys that had witnessed her wipe out on the field the other day. She eyed him with a cold look as he threw it at her, and she caught it before chucking it back at him when he looked at his friends and hit him scare in the head.
She watched as he rubbed the back of his head and heard his friends laugh. "Moron." MAVICAN JONES

Mavican had watched one of her teammates wipe when she was at practice. Surely she actually enjoyed Casey's company but people are assholes and of course she was laughed at, making her leave like a shameful kid. Mavican was just going to try and find her and make sure she's alright. Oh yes the little slut had more than ladyparts with feelings.
The brunette was just in time to watch Oswald throw apples at Casey. She always called him Oswald and she was sure he hated it.
"Hey Oswald if you are sexually frustrated at least use those hands for good and not throw apples at a girl who won't sleep with you." she teased him and eyed Casey, shooting her a wink before crossing her arms.
"Do I have to get up there to ask if you're okay or can you come down from that tree?"

Casey arched an eyebrow at Mavican yelling toward Oswald, and she shook her head before closing the book she had open. She hated that people would even think about harassing her because she was tiny, but some people should know she had six older brothers who'd fight for her if she asked for it. But lately she had been tossing things back at the jerks thinking they can push her around and get away with it. No, she'd fight back. She might be tiny but she learned to fight from her brothers and she wasn't afraid to get into trouble.
She watched the Slytherin boy wave the girls off and wander back into the castle before she eyed her teammate. "I had that handled but thank you." she said as she pushed herself up and stuffed everything into her bag before she climbed down to the lowest branch without getting out of the tree.
"Didn't think you were afraid of a tree." she said and cocked her head to the side.

Mavican liked Casey, she was a sweet girl but she also saw that the girl was troubled. Mavican didn't think her flirting would make it better for her and she tried to tone it down but these days the words came out like it was her own language, nothing new.
"Heights is not a problem but this skirt is new." she joked. Truth be told it was a second hand me down skirt because she couldn't afford anything else. Not that she was going to bug Casey with that truth bomb.
"I am sure you had but maybe I am just here to see how you are doing aside from being bugged by apple throwing idiots?" she suggesed and shrugged as she did so.

Casey folded her hands together as she listened to Mavican, her eyes going to the place Oswald was with his friends. He wasn't there anymore, and perhaps it was because Mavican scared him off. Her eyes rolled for a moment as she shift a bit in the tree, and eyed her teammate and somewhat friend. "Oh, so you're here to check on me after the little incident at practice the other day." she huffed. She didn't even want to talk about it and she couldn't get the laughs out of her head. Sure, it bothered her and the staring around the castle was getting on her nerves.
"Everything's fine. My ego is fine." she said and grabbed onto a branch above her. She wanted to climb back up, but she waited to see if she wanted anything before another fruit smacked her in the head and she fell backwards out of the tree and onto the ground with a cough.

Mavican didn't cope well with bullies. It brought her inner raging bitch out like a mad woman. The brunette though tried to focus on Casey and not the bullies attacking her. Mavican hated bullies, she really did and her brows formed a frown when Casey spoke as if she was going to laugh at her or make fun of her.
"It happens to the best of us Casey.." she said with a sigh and watched the girl climb up again only to get hit and fall down. Mavican rushed to her side and tried to check for blood. "Oh shit are you okay?" she asked and looked around for the bullies.
"That son of a bitch.." Mavican hissed and got back onto her feet and headed for Oswald, she swung a fist to his face and glared at his friends. "Come on who's next hmm?" she asked taking off her jacket.
"It's only fair that if you want to pick on one.. you fight the other as well."

Casey had laid on the ground to recover from the fall, and didn't even answer her friend when she rushed to her side. All she heard was laughter in the background, and she coughed again as she tried to get back up. It took her a bit, a couple more housemates coming for her aide and she used their help to get to her feet only to almost fall over again. Yes, she was bleeding due to hitting her head on a tiny stone but she ignored the fuzziness she was suddenly feeling. Instead, she waved off the fellow Ravenclaws and headed toward Mavican and the boys. She was breathing heavily due to anger suddenly boiling. She was angry. Why won't people leave her alone? First falling off her broom, and now this. Perhaps she should just quit.
The female watched as her teammate punched the ringleader, and eyed the others boys as Oswald covered his broken nose. They didn't dare to touch the girl. She placed a hand on Mavican's arm and shook her head, an action she regretted. "They're not worth it. Just back off..." she said and before she knew it, she too punched Oswald, this time in the side of the head.
Another action she was going to regret cause goddamn the seventh year had a hard head. What was it made of? Bricks?
She moved back to where she had fallen, picking up her bag and almost fell over.

Mavican had no issues getting into fights, the Irish girl went through them daily. She was broke, homeless and without Hogwarts she might've been dead for years now. The girl turned to look at Casey who tried to stop her from fighting only to punch the guy herself. Mavican couldn't help but smile at it and walked with Casey to her bag.
"Hey easy.. here lean on me.. I'll take you to the hospital wing." she said noticing the blood which was not a good sign. Mavican wasn't often the caring person but this girl was bleeding for crying out loud and Mavican would've been a worse person if she let her suffer from the bleeding rather than take her to see a doctor.
"Come on.. the nurse should be able to patch you up." she said and motioned to move her towards the castle.
"What is their deal anyway? Did you steal their marbles?"
This wasn't the first time she would head to the hospital wing due to an incident with a seventh year. It wasn't the first time it was because of Ozzy Tyrell either. A part of her wanted to hurt him in many different ways but she was supposed to keep her head cool. She didn't want to get into trouble, and knew that if she got herself in some trouble, her mother wouldn't be happy. She would have done much damage to Ozzy if it wasn't for her head injury, and she used her teammate as support cause yes, she was starting to feel it. Her hand went to her head, and she felt the blood. Great.
She gave her friend a small nod, and took a few breaths as she focused on the ground before her. "I don't know. He's been torturing me for years and it just keep getting worse. This isn't the first time he had done it either." she said and sighed as she looked at her for a moment.
"I think it's because his family is so perfect, and mine is not since my parents divorced over the summer. And he can probably get away with it because his sister is a professor here now."
These damn Tyrell's think they can get away with everything.

Mavican didn't understand bullies. Why waste time making someone else's lives miserable when they could have so much more fun without them? the brunette walked Casey to the hospital wing and let out a small sigh. Mavican rolled her eyes a bit as she heard the laughter and just kept walking.
"He needs to stop being a dick and just let you be." She said and frowned for a moment. "What does he get out of this?" she didn't understand at all, Mavican never really got bullied and if she got some hatred she would just go spot someone more interesting and feel better that way.
"I am sure his sister won't let him do this?" She was surprised a professor wouldn't stop bullshit like this from happening. "Perfect families are overrated." she added and sighed as they were inside the castle.
"Easy on the stairs." she said softly and turned to look at Casey.
"If he ever does this again I will make him suffer... bullies are the worst and should disappear."

Casey hated to show her angry side, but lately she was on a short fuse, and wanted to beat the shit out of Ozzy. Sure, he was much bigger and stronger than her and could probably kill her if he had it his way but she was so close to snapping it wasn't funny. He had been doing this for years, and even her brothers wanted to end him. But yet, he was still there making lives a living hell an being the jerk he always had been. There was no way in stopping him these days. Perhaps this was because of his missing brother. Maybe he had something to do with it.
A sigh had left Casey as she slowly stepped up the stairs as she listened to Mavican. "I doubt his sister doesn't know, or he is just abusing her power to get out of trouble. But whatever. I'm about had it with this." she said as she almost tripped on a step and eyed her.
"I don't need you fighting my battles for me." she said and raised an eyebrow. "I can handle it."

Mavican walked Casey to the hospital wing with a frown on her features. Why was she so stubborn and not letting people help her? Mavican snorted when she commented that she didn't need her help, right that showed really well earlier. The brunette shook her head and eyed the hospital wing coming closer.
"Right. Well next time I will just keep walking then." She teased a bit and rolled her eyes before releasing Casey to let the nurse take care of her. The brunette just followed to the bed and watched the healer work her magic.
"It was an apple to the back of her head and she fell." Mavican explained before turning to her little seeker.
"You need to get well soon, we need our seeker." she said softly and sighed.
"I'll get out of your way." she told the nurse and headed off.
