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!
JOB: St. Mungo's Healer Potions and Plant Poisoning Ward
HOUSE: Slytherin
FACE CLAIM: Louis Tomlinson
BIRTHDAY: 28 March 1995
PERSONALITY
Positive Traits: calm, cool, intelligent, talented potioneer, creative, loyal and steadfast Negative Traits: calculating, amoral, ends justify the means kinda guy, fluent in bitch, purist to the core, hates creatures, haughty, Quirks and Habits: Pierre reverts to French whenever he is pissed off, especially around the English idiots. He's the eldest of four, though officially only of two, so he's very good at keeping a secret (like the fact that he makes lethal wolfsbane potions... oops). His bedside manner is rather cold, but he is brilliant at potions and antidotes so he's kept around for his talent. He's rarely paired with trainee healers because the Healer in Charge doesn't want his cynicism to be passed on... but honestly how stupid can people be? Likes: potions, plants, high society, how easy it is to fool people, tall men with strong arms, styling his hair (spends a wee bit too much time doing this, in Roo's humble opinion), his sisters, his unemotional mother, his great-grandmother's strength of character Dislikes: magical creatures that try to act like they're on the same level as wizards (like vela and their half-breeds, werewolves, goblins, vampires etc), when people eat things they really shouldn't, people attempting potions that are clearly out of their skill-set, the fact that he has to marry and make babies with... women… that his mother put the good family name at risk... Boggart: burning at the stake as punishment for his work (killing werewolves) Mirror of Erised: Given the highest honor for his work ridding the world of wolves Patronus: spider
HISTORY
Pierre's family is nothing short of a mess. His father Tiberius was active in the second Wizarding War and as such went into hiding to evade the aurors. For a long time, Pierre enjoyed being the only child with a married but solo mother who was rather... detached. Seemingly out of the blue, when little Pierre was six, his father came back for a short time. Shortly after, in 2002, Pierre welcomed his little sister Vinda into the world. With the help of the house elves, Pierre had a lot of responsibility to do with his sister because Mélisande was never really around.
By 2004, Pierre noticed that his mother was showing signs of having another baby. His father had been taken to Azkaban around the time of Vinda's birth and his uncle (Tiberius'brother) was around to 'help' a lot... though Pollux and Mélisande never spoke of it, 9 year old Pierre clued on pretty quickly that the sudden, mysterious arrival of motherless Flora meant that he had another sister.
In 2006, Pierre left for his years at Hogwarts. He was sorted into Slytherin and ensured that he always wrote to his little sister, Vinda, while away at Hogwarts. He assumed in the first few years that one of the literate house elves, or perhaps his uncle, made sure that Vinda 'received' them as much as a baby could.
In 2013, Pierre earned himself a trainee position at St. Mungo's. He spent the next four years in training, though after the werewolf attack at Hogwarts in 2016 the master potioneer began to take justice into his own hands. He brewed a wolfsbane potion with too much aconite - more than a lethal dose, in fact - and put it in the Dai Llewellyn ward just like all the other potions available. The werewolf that was given the potion died, though the causes were unknown and considered natural. Since then, there've been at least five other wolves to die.

RP Alias: RoadRoo Pronouns: Marsupial Hogwarts House: Gryffindor Other Characters: AIDEN VALENTINOALANA VALENTINOFLORA SELWYNGABRIEL AVERYLIAM JORDANTEDDY LUPINVERANDI FARLEYZOE SAVAGE Roleplay example: Zoe listened intently as Faith Zabini answered the little Gemini with a very in depth answer. Her face clouded with sympathy though as Zabini mentioned that the young girl's mother had died from the werewolves. "Oh Gem, I am so sorry to hear of your loss," the teacher said with soft smile. "I definitely think you're a bunny kinda girl though, and Faith - five points to Gryffindor for getting involved. Love your work girl," she said with a grin.
"Blair's actually a pretty cool middle name," Zoe replied as Sam guessed that was the lie. "There's a famous actress in Hollywood - well, she's a Selma Blair.. but she's pretty cool. And I reckon you're probably rocking out the sunnies so... is the lie that your parents have divorced?" it was very common in the muggle world, but she'd found amongst old world England that most marriages, even if they appeared loveless, remained intact. "Two points to Sam for his.. I think it was an attempt?"
As Sam did give his truths and lie, Zoe chewed on the bottom of her lip. These children's lives seemed so... bleak. "Oh Sam, I hope the orphan thing is the lie? I became an orphan in my last year at school. It affected me pretty badly; I had to repeat my year in the end," Zoe said with sadness making her eyes a little more shiny than normal.
"Oh Becca, hmmm... I think I've heard of another Sheridan. And I know that you're definitely a prefect soooo I guess the lie is that you have no siblings?" Zoe asked with a tilt of her head, which let the brown locks cascade down her arm like liquid chocolate.
"Ok great sharing guys! Now let's move on to today's lesson," Zoe said as she slid off the table and moved over to the whiteboard. "Just out of interest, who here is muggleborn? Raise your hand - see, I'm one too," she said as her hand raised. "Am I right to say that there's a lot of pureblood, halfblood, muggleborn rivalry here? I feel like there is - I've heard a bit mudblood slurs here and there in the hallways. Obviously the older students in here have a decent background in muggle studies so what I want to do is get you to partner up - preferably with someone from a different year and house, and for you to talk about what you know of muggles. Then each of you will report back to the class one fact you learnt from your partner. As you're a bunch of young adults, I'll let you choose your own partners. If it turns into a circus though, I'll crack my whip. Alright - go."
