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!

Quirks and Habits: Melinda is quite subconscious about being a vampire. She has a twin sister Tamara who is in Ravenclaw, and it bothers her immensely that someday her sister would die. Since becoming a vampire Melinda thinks about everyone's mortality than is probably healthy. She can't help herself though.
Likes: spending time with her family, meeting new people,
Dislikes: bullies, blood purists, the cravings for blood, being alone
Boggart: Outliving the rest of her family and having to watch them die someday.
Mirror of Erised: Herself with a husband in kids in the future, which can't happen now because she's a vampire. Though Melinda still daydreams about it sometimes.
Patronus: Lioness
HISTORY
2012: Melinda and Tamara Price begin their first year at Hogwarts. Although they are twins, Melinda was placed in Hufflepuff and her sister ended up in Ravenclaw.
2016: Melinda is shocked and saddened after three students die when a Werewolf attacks Hogwarts on the Full Moon, resulting in three deaths and two students bitten. One of those deaths was her housemate Charlotte Avery, the current Minister's daughter who would've been a seventh year by 2018.
2018: Melinda is attacked by a vampire one day just before she is due to return to Hogwarts for her seventh year. Her family isn't sure what to make of it. With the anti werewolf laws now in effect Melinda was rather nervous about what would happen if the school learned one of their students became another dangerous creature.

Roleplay example:
Melinda took her dose of the cure when she suddenly spotted another person. She finished off the vial and looked at who had come by. She wasn't entirely sure who it was, but if she had to guess it looked like Brooke's penpal her niece told her about. She recalled Chloe describing him to her in a letter home once after Brooke met the boy over Christmas. Melinda wasn't sure if this boy knew who she was or not but she knew Brooke would thank her later for making sure her penpal got the cure. She's heard a few times from her niece how fond Brooke is of him.
"Hello. I'm Melinda. I heard about you from my niece Chloe. Are you looking for Brooke? She's still at school, I'm afraid. Chloe told me exams are done so I'm sure Brooke will be home in a few days." she told the boy kindly. Melinda knew that if Brooke wasn't still at school she would be here, but it's not like she could sneak to Hogsmeade with everything that was going on right now.
