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!
Okay, so maybe he shouldn't be taunting the Ravenclaws, but he was enjoying it. And the male was a little ticked off when Mavican had stepped in to save the little midget. The Ravenclaw seeker. Sure, maybe it was going too far to making the little brat's life a living hell but he was having fun. So now he was waiting for the more feisty Ravenclaw to talk it over, and maybe even make a deal. People hated when the small girl couldn't perform on the field, and he knew a cup is very important to their houses. Question is: Would Mavican take him up for his offer or will she let Casey be tormented more?
There was a smirk on his face when he waited for the girl to show up, and eyed the time on his watch. He had sent her a note during one of their classes to meet him to have a talk. Maybe this was a little bit sketchy but he needed to ask her a favor, and she might not like it. But if she wanted her Seeker to be in one piece, she would give him this and he'd give her a little money cause he knew that she wouldn't do things for free.
"Guess the little Seeker just might get another little beat down." he said softly to himself and was about to leave when he heard footsteps.

Ozzy wanted to see her and Mavican always made quite clear she only slept with someone once. She needed fresh meat, not the same old bullshit. Mavican let out a sigh and walked down the halls of the castle, finding the snake to find out what the fuck he wanted from her. She didn't like him, she never did, he was just a nice break once upon a nightmare.
She heard his voice and Mavican rose her eyebrow. "Excuse yourself Oswald. she hissed and crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes on the boy. She didn't understand what girls saw in him. Must be the money.
"Can you stop ruining the chance of my team winning the housecup. For fuck's sake." she grumbled and leaned against a pillar.
Ozzy turned around when he heard Mavican's voice and he couldn't help grin at the view for a moment. She actually came, and he was actually a little glad. He took out a pouch of coins, holding it in his hand as he thought over as she told him to stop messing with the chance of her house winning the cup. So he just nodded as he moved forward, biting his lip and sighed. "How is your little Seeker? Heard she's spending some time in the hospital wing..." he taunted, cocking his head to the side as he played with the pouch in his hand.
"I got a proposition for you, and if you take it up, I'll stop harassing your little shit stain you call a friend." he said and held the pouch out. "And no, I'm not offering to pay for a good time. It's something else. Clothes are required for this, and maybe a kiss on the cheek." he said and chuckled softly.

Mavican didn't like it when people hurt other people for no reason. Mavican eyed Ozzy with a frown as he had that little smile on his face. The brunette ran a hand through her hair and cocked her head as the little weasel asked about Casey.
"She will be fine." She responded with a slight groan and shook her head. The pouch of money got her attention and though she had morals, though she wanted to stick up for her friend she knew she was poor and needed the money very badly if she wanted to stay here.
Mavican took the pouch and opened it, she eyed the shiny coins and sighed. "Fine. Talk." the girl cocked her head as he mentioned clothes, she had clothes. They weren't the richest outfits but she had clothes.
Ozzy knew the money would get her attention, and he'd give her a little more if she asked for it but he didn't have much on his person. But for now she'd have to deal with what she had in that pouch, and he watched her with amusement and shook his head. "Well, it's....not a date date...." he said slowly and thought how he'd explain this to the girl that broken his nose already, and if he went back on his word about not harming the Stevens girl, he knew damn well Mavican can cause him more pain than needed. He waited a couple of seconds as he sighed.
"My father is having this thing. A dinner with people from his business and he wants me to attend with a lady friend." he said and sighed. "And it's just all an act, you can go back to hating my guts the day after. I just need to make sure these people would close the deal they have with my father." he looked around and then back at her.
"And I won't hurt her. I'll tell my guys not to knock her around and to leave her alone."

Mavican had trust issues, living on the streets made sure of that. She waited for Ozzy to explain and her expression turned into confusion but then amusement. How low did he need to go for this shit? The girl rolled her eyes and shook her head slightly.
"Fine but..." she eyed the money. "Touching is extra, kissing costs you another pouch and you buy the dress." she said and tucked the pouch in her backpack.
"As long as you leave her alone, I will do this one thing for you." she wasn't going to bend to his will and the sex wasn't that good that she wanted a round two but for the money and the fact that Casey would be free of his tiranny she would do it.
Ozzy nodded as he looked at her with a small smile, and tucked his hands in his pockets as he listened to her demands. Okay, he knew she'd ask for more but at least it was a done deal and he would do what she says. He didn't want anymore trouble with the two Ravenclaws (for now) - he will behave from this day forward. "Deal. I'll even take you dress shopping myself if I have too." he said and sighed. "I'll give you the rest of the money when I have it cause that's all I carry on myself. I'll let you know the time and date of this thing." he said and sighed.
He hated that he had to pay for a date, but knew she would use the money for her own personal gain, and what is he if he refused to help out someone who clearly needed it. "What is your relationship with Stevens anyway?" he asked and crossed his arms over his chest as he looked her over.

❧
Mavican looked at Ozzy as he agreed upon her demands and she nodded. Mavican held her hand out for a handshake and rolled her eyes. The guy didn't need him to come with her because she was going to make his dinner time a living hell if he even dared to make a move without giving her money for it.
"Good." she then thought she was able to walk off but he wanted to know more, he wanted to know more about her relationship with Casey? Mavican frowned and cocked her head.
"Like I said, she is the seeker of my team. Did you see the reserve we have? He sucks more than you did that afternoon." she teased and shrugged.
"I care about my team. If I want to be a professional one day I need to give it the best I got and I can't do that with a seeker in the hospital wing."
Ozzy shook her hand, smiling a bit at her and nodded a bit. He would leave Casey alone, he would keep his word. It was what he did best, he didn't want anymore trouble with the women even if there's a chance she was his half-sister, another bastard child. He knew he had went too far for her to end up in the hospital wing, and he was sorry in a way. He would try to apologize to the girl himself, but he knew that that wasn't the best idea. The girl might try to stab him or something. He knew damn well the Stevens family had a temper, and he saw the fire in Casey's eyes several times.
He put his hand on his chest, and made a face. "Excuse yourself Mavican. I did not suck." he said, sounding hurt and sighed, giving her a nod. "I am sorry for hurting her. Even if I didn't do the damage myself, my buddies did it. You know she went at me. But I wasn't there. And if I were, I wouldn't have let it get that bad." he said, frowning a bit.

He should know better by now that Mavican didn't do feelings. She never dated and she wasn't really planning on dating even though at some point she should settle down surely. The thought of being alone forever was horrific. The brunette sighed a bit and looked at him as if he were to seek her sympathy. Something he surely wasn't going to get.
"Oh I remember you did the sucking alright. I must admit you are very good with that mouth of yours.. if only you used it more often for a better purpose." she winked and cocked her as he kept talking.
"Don't apologize to me, apologize to her." she told him with a sigh. "Look just so you know, this whole asshole attitude no matter for what reason is only going to get your ass kicked." she was going to remind him daily if she needed to.
One thing about Ozzy - family was everything to him, including the other kids his father had created over the years. Yes, he thought they didn't deserve some of the money but Samuel Tyrell was a loving father to all, and even told Ozzy that one day he would have a family of his own, a family he would want to protect. This family meeting was something that needed to be done, they needed more people out there looking for Peter. Even though Ozzy felt that Peter was never coming back. And if he did, he won't be the Peter they all knew and loved.
A sigh escaped from him when he was asked what was happening at home. "Peter is missing. My Father is working day and night looking for him while I'm here, in my last year of Hogwarts when I should be out there. My father blames me for my brother's disappearance because I was supposed to go with him. So, I do need this meeting to go well. I need my father to see me. Not look past me."

There was a lot she could say about this guy but she never knew he was such a family person. Who knew that Oswald has a heart? Mavican wanted to snort, hell she even considered throwing sarcastic comments his way as he explained but this was in the end a boy with guilt and under pressure because he misses his little brother.
"Look that shit isn't your fault Ozzy." she said and moved away from the pillar. "I think what is to blame is the fact that your father thinks the guilt should be yours, that the reason your brother is gone is because you made a mistake." she let out a sigh.
"You're just a kid Ozzy.. in the end we all are in a way just kids." she couldn't believe that she pulled him in a hug.
Okay, Ozzy was waiting for a sarcastic side of Mavican, instead he got the Mavican that was rare. He knew this damn well cause she wouldn't hug an asshole like him after he made her teammate's life a living hell for the past couple of weeks. The guilt was indeed eating him alive, and he wanted to find his brother, and not be a disappointment in his father's eyes. He felt like he failed his brother, failed his father - everyone that's close to him. The news of Peter's disappearance was getting out there, and their father was losing his mind. Sure, his father had lost children before but not an older child. Not a fifteen year old boy.
The guilt would continue to eat him alive for as long as he lived, even if there was a chance his brother could still be alive. Still be out there wanting to come home. The moment Mavican had hugged him, he froze, frowning a bit cause it wasn't expected. There was silence for a moment in the air, and he closed his eyes.

Mavican was the kind of girl who didn't comfort people. If she felt sad? She would get herself some from anyone who was hot and available. She didn't do feelings or the fact that people needed a hug, it was weird to her but the first thing she felt like she needed to do was hug the asshole who made her teammate's life hell.
"It is true. If it were not we both would deserve to pay for shitty things from the past." she sighed and released him from the hug so she could run a hand over her face.
"Look meet me tomorrow for the trip so we can get a dress and.. whenever that dinner is.. I'll be there." She sighed and grabbed her backpack, her eyes on Ozzy.
"You're not alone Ozzy." she then turned to walk away.
