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?

HISTORY
Darcy Evaine Ross was born on July 16, 2002 at a bright and early 5:30am, precisely 22 ½ minutes after her twin brother, Levi Brastuis Ross (Gryffindor), making her the youngest in a family of now 5 children. She has three other older brothers - Henry Christopher Galahad (December 1994, Hufflepuff), Theodore Lohengrin (February 1996, Ravenclaw) and Arden Gareth (August 1998, Slytherin). Her dad and uncle are named Percival and Gwaine respectively, so the family decided to carry on the Arthurian theme through the children's middle names.
The Ross’ are quite the creative family - father Percival (pureblood) is a musician whilst mother Lottie (muggle) was a professional ballerina until she finally laid that to rest when she fell pregnant with Arden. She now runs her own dance school. Uncle Gwaine runs his own antique store and throughout her childhood, Darcy would often go in and help him store things to pass the time.
Her first sign of magic came when she was 6 ½ when she made an army of stuffies float down the hallway behind her as she marched around (at least she didn’t make cake batter explode everywhere like Henry did with his first sign, or explode the toilet like Arden).
Through her father’s side, Darcy is English and Scottish and through her mother’s side she is English and Russian (you know she’s pissed off at you when she starts throwing Russian at you, beware).
Her love of Quidditch came from her eldest brother, Henry, who was on the Hufflepuff team in his school years. Once old enough to use magic outside of school, he was always taking Darcy for trips on his broom, teaching her everything she could so she started her first year with quite the knowledge of flying already.
In her fifth year, she started dying her hair lots of colours.
PLAYER
RP Alias: Tori Pronouns: She/her Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff Other Characters: CHASTITY TREVINOARCHIBALD MACKENZIE 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.
