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!

Mumbling - he has a habit of mumbling to himself when he’s lost in his schoolwork.
Always warm - no matter the temperature outside, Archie seems to be this walking space heater.
Insomnia - ever since he was 9, Archie has suffered from insomnia. There was a break in at their house in the middle of the night and sleepy 9 year old Archie stumbled across the men at 3am when he was getting a drink of water.

history
August 12th, 2006 - he doesn’t remember his baby sister being born exactly, but he does remember there suddenly being this thing in the house that cried and pooped a lot. He wasn't impressed at first but he quickly grew to love her and love the role of being a big brother.
June 27th, 2008 - the day his dad had to take him and Ainsley to work because their babysitter had to bail on them at the last minute due to a family emergency. A nearly 2 year old and a 4 year old can have a LOT of fun at the Ministry. To this day Archie still denies that the flood in the main hall was not their fault.
April 30th, 2010 - he chipped one of his front teeth whilst playing with Ainsley in the garden and she hit him in the face with a plastic baseball bat. He thought the chipped tooth was cool at first but his mum wouldn't let it stay that way. Thank god for magic.
June 31st, 2013 - two men broke into their home in the middle of the night and Archie stumbled across them whilst he was getting a drink of water. They had a bag full of various valuable things and one had a wooden baseball bat and the other a crowbar in hand. At first he froze when he saw them but then he starting screaming. The men made to move towards him until the landing light turned on above them and they bolted instead. He’s had trouble sleeping at night ever since.
March 21st, 2015 - his mum surprised him with a ragdoll kitten as a late birthday gift for him to take as a companion to Hogwarts. He named her Mitzy.

Roleplay Example:
Lunch break meant a coffee break and god did she need it today. A quick check up appointment with a patient who two weeks ago had burnt themselves when a potion splashed back on them had turned into an hour and a half long consultation when she had learnt he hadn’t been following his after care plan. Instead of the burn sites healing, they had started bubbling and sprouting (yes, sprouting!). When will patients learn to listen to their damn healers? Chastity had tried her best to keep her cool but in the end she had snapped and gotten into an argument with the patient instead. She needed the coffee now.
There was a small park by work that had a cart inside that sold reasonably okay coffee - an extra sachet of sugar usually masked the added bitterness that came with cheap coffee. She would usually spend her lunch break with sketchbook in hand drawing those who wandered around the park but she had been running late that morning and in her haste to get to work, she had left her satchel by her bed so instead Chastity glanced around the park.
There was a woman she recognised sitting on a bench - she was on of St Mungos fully trained healers on the serious bites ward. She had met her briefly when her traineeship began but she hadn’t had much to do with her since. Evie, Eva...something like that...no, Evelyn! That was it. Evelyn. She could see the older woman grasping at her stomach and looked clearly shocked. Unwanted or unplanned pregnancy, perhaps? She looked as though she needed either a distraction or assistance. Usually Chastity would simply ignore her and carry on her way but she knew it was a good idea to be at least somewhat friendly with colleagues - she never knew when she would need a favour and it was always easier if they didn’t hate you.
“Are you okay, Evelyn?” She took the empty spot on the bench next to her.
