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!
Positive Traits: Direct (lack of subtlety), bubbly, affectionate, honest Negative Traits: honest, direct (lack of subtlety), clumsy Quirks and Habits: Lucy Hawkes is a very direct woman, which means that she doesn’t do subtle, or her version of subtle can be comparable to a brick through the front window. Not only that she is also very honest about what she thinks, it does land her in trouble from time to time. Aside from that she can be very affectionate, that does not just go for the mental part, she’s a bit of a hugger. Finally one can almost always find either sweets in her bag or fruit, she switches with the day. Likes: Hugging people, magic, honesty and she likes to draw. Dislikes: Overly grumpy/grouchy people, the ministry of magic, dishonesty, cloak and dagger tricks (she has about as much trouble picking up subtlety as having any herself). Boggart: Friends getting shot by muggles for being witches/wizards Mirror of Erised: Her wedding day, clumsily landing on her partner only to be swept off her feet and taken to a nice home. Patronus: Bull
HISTORY
Starting off we have Lucy sitting on her muggleborn father’s lap as she hears a bedtime story about how a tailor had supposedly smacked down seven giants at the same time, being deceptive. Deciding she didn’t like that she made it a point to always try to be truthful. This has become a major thing for her and she sees so far no reason to change that. Her parents are very supportive about this.
Following this we have a memory of Lucy climbing multiple trees in the neighbourhood and falling from almost each and every single one. That was until that faithful day where she made her first muggle friend who would either help her stay in the tree, or he would catch her. This is also where the hugging came from. When Lucy thanked her parents she usually hugged them, which made sense in her mind that she’d do so with others as well. Only later did she find out that that was not the normal code of conduct.
Finally we have the memory/memories of her first week after her sorting, it took quite a bit for her to settle in with her dorm mates. That in itself is not all that strange, what was strange for Lucy was that she felt terrible about it, seeing as she had never had that much trouble making friends or getting along with people. Her grades weren’t high and she had almost an urge to head back home where everything was normal. Things changed, for the better, but she still has bouts of the not exactly homesickness, but almost depression that she tries to hide behind being even more upbeat and bubbly than usual.
PLAYER
RP Alias: Galen Pronouns: He/His Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff Other Characters: @richard @rowena @celeste Roleplay example: Celeste was both having a great day and a not so great one for that matter. Muggle studies for once hadn’t been a total waste of time. They had actually gone on about a subject she had been trying to figure out the summer before the current school year, not that her good mood had lasted long. The bunch of savages that students often were had of course managed to ruin her perfectly good day. The way they’d done it was rather simple, They had spilled pudding all over the front side of her robes. Instead of vanishing it they just had to try and swipe it away, only making it penetrate deeper, ghastly people.
She wasn’t even going to start on the higher year boys who had taunted her to get undressed to see how deep it had gotten. Simply brushing past them, head held high and a tripping hex behind her back as she passed a Slytherin known bully was at least some sort of vengeance. Now Celeste was walking up the stairs to the dorm, but she heard rummaging, or so she thought. That could mean plenty of things, but usually it meant that Vi was up to something again.
Celeste didn’t have any trouble with the energetic blonde, in fact she rather liked her peculiar brand of bubbly. Though Celeste usually kept the appreciation to the dorm room. As she walked in her jaw dropped a bit. Not having noticed the state Vi was in yet she was slack jawed at the painting. ’’That looks like me, somewhat at least....Did you...’’ With those last words she had started to address Vi more personally and seen the state she was in. The brunette had snuck into film theatres over the summer and they had been showing a rerun of The Lion King. Walking up to Vi she took her face in her left hand and with her right hand completed the line over Vi’s forehead, slowly, clearly and as deep as possible saying. ’’SIMBAAAH.’’ Before bursting into giggles.
Looking around again she couldn’t help but smile as she almost forgot she was covered in pudding. ’’I have to say, I like what you’ve done with the place Vi, but are you sure we aren’t missing bronze tones. I mean we are Ravenclaw after all. Aside from that, any suggestions to take revenge for getting pudding dumped over you sweetheart?’’
