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!
Tobias didn't have time for all of this, he wanted to be left alone with his thoughts and all that was happening with him. Tobias had packed up all of his belongings and had contacted his good friend to sell his home. He had spent his money on a home on the outside of London but close to the entrée to the ministry. He wanted to stay close to work no matter what he had to do, but he made sure he was a good distance away so that no one found him. He had kept himself hidden for a month so that no one found him, he made sure to apparate to and from work. He ignored his family so that he had time to think about all that was happening. He had finished unpacking a long time ago and was currently drinking a beer while he watched her. He watched Athena, his... Daughter.
Tobias had just gotten home from work about ten minutes ago and was thinking of what to have for dinner when there was a knock on his door. He opened it to see a young girl who looked oddly familiar. Her eyes were chocolate brown, her hair was brown and she was adorable but he didn't know what the hell she was doing on his doorstep.
"Can I help you?"
"Are you Tobias Jermyn?" Her young voice showed.
"Yes, who are you?" He was beginning to loose his patience in a way.
"I'm Athena Jermyn, I'm your daughter" and that is where all things went wrong. He had unfortunately let her in and it wasn't long until he took her to go get their DNA tested. He remembered her mother sure, they were sixteen and stupid but he didn't know she got pregnant. After two weeks had went by of waiting for the DNA, it had definitely came back that Athena was his. It crushed him and he would have sent her back to her mother but unfortunately she died and now all the responsibility came back on him. His name was everywhere, her birth certificate, in the will, and he thought of the only thing he could do and that was run. He told no one and just packed up and left with Athena. He didn't want to take her but of course he knew he couldn't leave a young girl to fend for herself.

Tobias was pulled from his thoughts by the door knocking. He groaned and got to the door of his house (yes he actually got a house to throw people off) and looked through the peep hole and when he saw who was there he groaned and threw open the door.
"What the fuck do the two of you want?!" Tobias was not in the mood.
Riley hated having to pick up Toby's messes, he did it for far too long. Now his brother had been no where to found, and it was a shock to know that Lyra was actually caring. He knew she cared, and like Toby had a good way of not showing it. So when she said she'd help him to find him, for Cole's sake. He was relieved and the two had decided to take a muggle car to travel to find his renegade brother.
He hoped his brother wasn't dead, he was worried sick, and he sat in the car with Lyra. "You know you don't have to do this, right?" he asked giving his best friend and she stared back at him. With no hesitiation, she spoke."He's my son father, and as much of an ass that he is, I still care for his well-being and to an extent his bitchy ass girlfriends." she said with distaste for the girl. A woman who was stupid enough to let her boyfriend downgrade another woman was horrible.
The male didn't know what to think as he drove to a house that he heard from Tobias friends, and he had been worried with the fact that Lyra bringing Cole, but she believed it could help Toby. To see his son, and when the two came to the house. Riley shook his head, "I'm going to kill him, when I see him. As long as he isn't already dead."he said with distaste. Lyra was not happy at those words, and gave him a look. "You aren't killing anyone, and you know I am the only with a state of mind here." she chuckled.
Riley stopped the car not really being used to the idea of muggle cars. But here we was driving one, and turning it off he got out. With Lyra behind him, and he looked at Lyra. "You ready?" he asked. She gave him a nod and he smiled back. She was strong, and knew she wouldn't take shit from Toby. It wasn't long until they got up to the door, and they knocked only to be greeted by his brother. Who looked like complete hell and he gave a smirk. "A thank you would be in order buddy, how dare you go missing. You also look like shit, and I brought your best friend and son to see you, now you let us in." he said with a smirk. Looking at his brother, wanting to punch him.
Tobias knew who gave them the address, he only told one person and specifically told him to tell no one, but here stands his brother and the damn woman who decided to get herself knocked up by him and not do as he asked and got rid of the kid. Now look, she is at his door step with the said kid, Tobias wanted to just die right now. "Um did it occur to you that I wanted to leave and not be found?! Why the hell do you think I said nothing?! And as for her, she is not my best friend, she is absolutely nothing to me and the fact that you brought her with you is completely barbaric and I am not letting you in" Tobias said as he slammed the door and locked it. He knew his brother would still get in so he grabbed Athena and put her in her room. "Stay here until I tell you to come out" Athena nodded and played with her dolls as Tobias shut the door, thank god all of Athena's toys and any evidence that she lived here was in her room, so he was safe in case anyone went snooping.
