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!

“No kids?” Tobias blinked in surprise. His hand rose and patted the man on his shoulder. “Man I really would’ve thought someone like you wouldn’t have trouble reproducing,” he grinned. As a student he never would’ve done anything like this. It was partly the drugs that made him ease up and lose the line of formality that usually has between a teacher and student. However it was mostly due to the fact that his world view changed. When Jack bounced back the question to him, Tobias laughed. “You’re a funny guy, Jack. I’m not really marriage material, am I?” He kept laughing, shaking his head. “And kids, god I hope not,” he shivered at the thought. Sure he had no money for condoms but he couldn’t possibly have a kid walking around somewhere. The horror.
“Oh!” A little spark of life returned in his hazy eyes. “We can start a family!” Weren’t they both looking for one. Right now all Tobias needed in life was a parent who made sure he was doing okay. If Mr. O’Connor was looking for a child. “I can be a good son!”
“Dude, you’re a war hero. That’s at least just as cool as a pirate. What is your superhero name?” The young wolf almost blushed in embarrassment when his teacher started laughing. “Oi! It’s no joke it hurt like hell.” However he soon joined in the laughter. “Well I technically was a dog at that time,” he shrugged, adding an extra joke.
Living in the muggle world. That seemed like a dream. However there was one problem. “Too bad they don’t have the medical care I need.” Would he go to a muggle hospital he’d bleed to death. Werewolf bites were cursed and couldn’t be closed by muggle techniques or regular magic. He glared towards the water. “I neither have a muggle or a wizarding diploma. I won’t get a job anywhere,” he sighed.
These days he shifted between happiness and sorrow like it was changing a colour of lipstick. It could differ within a few minutes. Where he had been laughing just a moment ago, he felt utterly miserable right now. A scared lost boy stuck between two worlds, that was who he was. But his sadness was replaced by anger within a split second. He shoved the glass of water back towards his former head of house. “A pack,” he hissed, repeating the words like they burned like acid in his mouth. “I’m not a beast. I don’t want to join a cult of rebels.” At this point he felt hurt that the man he looked up to for so many years could even suggest something like this.
