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!

Parker had been pacing back and forth outside the classroom, wondering if she should bother her big sister about a little thing. Sure, her father had told her to go to Ariella if she had a problem with anything due to Hogwarts and such. And sure it was, she was hearing rumors from some other students that Ozzy was bullying the Ravenclaw Seeker and it had gotten to the point that she had to go to The Hospital Wing. Parker might be an odd ball, but she did have friends and the other girl was in the same year as her so she knew that Casey hadn't been acting like her usual self.
Parker sighed a bit before she headed into the classroom, looking around for her sister. She was there earlier that day, in class and she wouldn't just tattle on her brother while surrounded by the other students. Besides, Casey was there that day. "Ari?" she asked, looking around what seemed to be an empty classroom. Where the bloody hell was she?

Ariella had a long day from dealing with bratty teenagers and she really started to ask herself what made her teaching such a good idea all of a sudden? She HATED children. Ariella found a bottle of wine in her suitcase and poured herself a glass when she heard a voice coming from the classroom.
Ariella sighed softly and got up from her chair. Why? Why break her desire for a simple glass of wine? The woman took the glass with her and rose an eyebrow when she noticed her sister was standing there, by herself.
"Parker." she greeted softly and took a sip of her wine.
"What can I do for you?" she asked and cocked her head a little as she looked at her baby sister.

They had a problem, and that problem was their brother. She knew her sister can handle Ozzy, put him in his place and tell him to knock it off or enjoy being kicked out of school. Last thing their father needed was for his son to be kicked out of his final year because he can't seem to stop bugging people and even sending them to The Hospital Wing. It needed to stop, and she didn't want her brother to fail despite that they both have a strong dislike toward each other. And besides, her father told her if she had a problem, go to Ari. Now she hoped her sister would help.
She eyed the wine glass when she spotted her sister and she frowned. "Ozzy is at it again. This time he had sent someone to the damn hospital wing." she eyed her sister, wondering if she was doing the right thing. They all feared their sister.

Ever since Peter disappeared Ozzy had been in a rut. He wasn't himself and slowly became more like his father than he would ever like to admit. The woman ran a hand through her short dark locks as her sister approached her and brought up her dear little brother. Being the eldest wasn't easy, having all her siblings in school right now was also something Ariella didn't really appreciate but then again she took this cover job for a reason.
Ariella sighed and took a sip of her glass before answering her little sister. "What the hell did he do to do that?" she asked and rose an eyebrow, her cold voice not warming up one bit. This behavior was harming Ariella's reputation and the reputation of her father coming with it. They were supposed to stand above others, whether they liked them to or not.
"Who did he hurt?" he asked and sipped from her wine, groaning a bit. Yep she needed it.
Parker gave her sister a slight frown when her voice turned colder than Antarctica itself, and she had taken a tiny step back cause she knew her sister's blood was boiling. She knew Ozzy was doomed the moment her sister yelled and she looked down at the floor. That wasn't all. She had heard something went down earlier and that Casey was in the hospital wing with broken ribs and a possible head injury. News fly around like wildfire in this place if you knew who to listen too. She took a breath when she looked at her sister and nodded.
"Casey Stevens. Someone found her in the North Wing with broken ribs and a possible head injury. A couple of his friends jumped her." she said and sighed. "He wasn't there but he must have made his little buddy gang do it for him." she said softly as she moved to sit down.
"And I know you're dating Casey's brother, and that family has a lot of influence here. Last thing we need is Ozzy staining our name."

Ariella was sick and tired of this bullshit. She needed Ozzy for once to pull his dick out of his ears and do something worthy for the family and himself in this place. Soon he would graduate and then what? What would he do? Ariella downed the wine and grunted a bit, not good enough.
"Is he fucking kidding me?" she tossed the glass against the wall and hissed a bit. That was her favorite glass. Ariella couldn't face Don and tell him that her little brother beats the shit out of his little sister. That would just end whatever good she had going on in her life.
"Goddammit Ozzy.." she hissed and ran a hand over her face. "What the hell is going on with him? I can't let this get to father without watching Ozzy get disowned." she knew her whore of a father would do it to spite Ozzy.
Parker was expecting for her sister to flip out, but she wasn't expecting her to throw the glass against the wall once Parker told her the news of what was happening to the Ravenclaw seeker. The Hufflepuff backed off a little bit when the glass went flying, and she looked down at the floor while her sister raged. She hated when her sister went like this, and it sometimes scared her and many knew Parker hated yelling even if she had quite a few arguments with her now ex-boyfriend. Parker waited for a moment as her sister finished, and she kept her head down as she thought of what was happening.
"I-okay." she got out softly, and took a breath before calming herself down cause goddamn her sister angry was something she hated to see. Ozzy was in for some sort of punishment and she didn't want any part in it. "Okay. I don't know where he is, but I know he's up to something else and I don't know what."
She looked at her sister with a frown. "I'm sorry for disturbing you." she shifted, stepping back to head out.

Ever since she was little she took care of Ozzy. She wanted to protect him from the pain in the outside world. All she tried to do was be a good sister to him, to make sure he wouldn't get into trouble with their father but he was making it so frustratingly hard for them both right now and even Parker was suffering.
Of course Ariella's anger didn't think about Parker's sensitivity and so she softened up which was a rare occurance when she realized there was fear in her sister's entire expression. Truth be told the only bastard Ariella seemed to want to protect was Parker and she hated that her father's lifestyle is getting in the way of them all.
"Parker wait.." she said and moved closer just wanting to hold her sister. "I'm sorry.. it's just.. ever since Peter Ozzy hasn't been the same." she admitted and sat down on a table now.
"Ever since Ozzy was a baby I took care of him.. now he is 17 and I can't protect him anymore.." Ariella ran a hand through her hair.
Parker knew her sister had good intentions, and knew that she would do anything to keep Ozzy from staining the family name in his final year of Hogwarts. She had seen their brother change, seen the hidden anger inside when he thought no one was looking. he was taking it out on a stranger, and she was deeply bothered by it. Deeply bothered by the fact that he was losing control, and she didn't want to lose her brother despite hating him. He was family He was their blood. And they shared the same interests. To protect the family but Ozzy was doing it all wrong.
Parker stopped when she was told to wait, and she eyed her sister with a small frown. "I think he blames himself for not going on that brotherly trip. They had a fight before Peter left for the trip by himself, and it wasn't pretty. Ever since Dad got the news about it, Ozzy's been acting off. I know we all have our differences, and Ozzy being the ass that he is, he does love Peter. For some reason they had that special bond I wish I had with Ozzy." she said and frowned a bit.
"It's why I brought this to you. I don't want Ozzy disowned. I might not like him much but he is my brother too, and I do...care about him. I care that if he continues doing this, this family is destroyed. And Peter disappearing is just the start of it." she felt tears in her eyes. "Ozzy misses him. As do I."
