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?

Freya is really charming, despite the fact that she generally doesn't like people
Freya reads her horoscope every day, despite the fact she doesn't really believe in astrology.
Boggart: A ministry worker intent on arresting her
Mirror of Erised: Herself, only without the scar from where she was bitten and turned into a werewolf.

HISTORY
Ever since Freya was a little girl, she wanted to work with ancient things, finding them and learning more about the past. She always had a wide range of interests, however. Her mother is a muggle and was an Olympic athlete before she had married Freya's father. Freya learned gymnastics from her mother, everything she's ever needed to know about the magical world from her father, and ancient histories in her own time.
She was poised to be a curse breaker at Gringotts before she was bitten by a werewolf during the Christmas break of her seventh year and the attack changed her in more ways than one. Rather than endure the humiliation of being expelled, she dropped out of school and found her way to London. She was old enough to do magic outside of school at the time so, luckily, that wasn't much of a problem for her. It was easy to start working as an escort. She hates it, but it's better than going home and facing her parents, neither of which really had any stance on werewolves. They likely think she's dead, but that's, perhaps, best for the time being. To help make ends meet, she occasionally takes some things her clients don't need. Not always, just when they deserve it. If she wanted to she could probably make thieving into a full-time job, but she's not ready for another career change just yet.
Willa was the hottest of the ten hells, of that she was certain. She was a creature of the fjords and forests, accustomed to humid summers and white winters. It had been less than a day since they’d officially crossed into the desert and already she had thrown up twice and would have gotten lost several times if her teacher hadn’t been keeping an eye on her.
By the end of the day, the sun was gone, and with it, the hellish heat. The temperature was well below freezing, and most of the other squires were huddled around the bonfire, eating their soup with blankets on their backs. Willa, on the other hand, was perfectly comfortable.
She was the last to get supper due to her horse misbehaving. Willa had to make a separate hitching post far from the other horses to keep her mare from picking fights with the others. Dinner in hand, she intended to find her friends and sup with them, but when she’d found them, she decided that solitude would be better.
I’ll just go eat with the dogs and horses, Willa thought to herself as she headed for the pickets. They aren’t much for conversation, but at least they won’t ice me out.
Welcome to Sonorus, we hope you enjoy your stay! Your application is currently pending. Hey Aubree, she looks great but just a few things need to be addressed: - There's currently no date of birth for Freya so please add that in. - It mentions in the second paragraph of her history that she was attacked by a werewolf at the Winter Ball. The only attack by werewolves in Hogwarts in our site history is in 2016. You can read more here. She'll have to be bitten somewhere else. Thanks! Please feel free to tag me onsite or on discord once those changes have been made. Feel free to head over to our FAQ or talk with us on our discord server if you have any questions.
