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!

There was a lot of pressure on Scorpius to get good grades and as soon as school started he got a letter reminding him of that fact. The boy was exhausted, lacking sleep and was working on an essay when he heard voices not far from him.
He looked up curiously wondering who could even be awake at this hour. Scorpius sighed and got up to tell them kindly to shut up. He didn't even care if they were bigger than him.
"Could you turn it down? I am trying to work here."

A thumping caused the sleeping slytherin to stir, sitting up as she took off the mask from her eyes with a icy stare as she stood up. Seriously? There were tests tomorrow. Those idiots may not have wanted to rest, but Rosa wasn't about to get a howler from her parents over a smudge on her record. Everything was to save face in the pureblood world. It was stressful enough without some idiots pressing her buttons. The girl marched down the stairs in her pajama shorts and tank-- her mask atop her head as she gripped her wand.
She could hear Scorpius' polite approach ignored by the students... And her short fuse was lit. Lifting her wand, the box let off sparks before letting out a dying audio... Then silence, " Next time you want to stay up past curfew, shut the hell up, " The girl hissed as she practically dared one of them to fuck with her at that point. Well... She was up.
She looked over to the other student with a sigh. The Malfoy. She knew him well enough. How could she not? She gave a half smile, " You need some sleep, " The girl remarked, nothing the poor kid's worn exterior. She wasn't exactly fluffy, but she could deal with people on occasion.

Scorpius was nervous and now this girl was talking to him. A GIRL. Scorpius started to panic deep down inside, his body appeared calm but only because he was well trained by his father that his expressions were everything and yet he needed to yell for his friend, needed her help because this girl was very pretty and old and he didn't know what to say.
"I eh.. yes I.." he swallowed a big lump and all he could think off was hoping she wouldn't kiss him for no reason. Or touch him, no touchy. Scorpius took a step back and looked around, where were the other annoying kids, why couldn't they talk to her?

"Calm yourself, serpente piccolo, " She sighed, quirking a brow at the younger student as he seemed to practically have a panic attack over the girl talking to him, " And never apologize to helpless morons, " The prefect snapped a look at the group, before rolling her eyes at their stares. They didn't matter. Her sleep however, had been invaluable. Something that little group managed to get in the middle of...
She looked at the panicking little student as she smoothed her shirt a bit, " Are you fine...? You look sick. Like... Do you need to go to the infirmary?" She asked, her brows furrowed as she popped her hip and crossed her arms comfortably. The last thing she was doing was having some little kid puke all over the common rooms. Heavens knew even magic wouldn't help if that happened.

Scorpius legit hated talking to girls and though he knew it was hard to avoid, he didn't really want to talk to this person either. Scorpius rose his eyebrow slightly as she talked to him, was that Italian? Did she just insult him?
"I'm fine." he said again, straigtening his clothes a bit and frowned. "Are you questioning my ability to recognize my own feelings?" he asked and though he didn't mean to be rude, it was the first time he managed to say an actual sentence without wanting to throw up.

She shrugged as the boy seemed to want to play tough and stick out whatever had him looking like he was going to throw up, " Alright, but I offered-- so if you get sick it's on you, " She remarked. She didn't know the little snake well enough to know it was his affliction by the female populace; but she had tried. Good enough.
"I don't claim to know your feelings, but I do know to apologize to a bunch of morons over something I did isn't something you should feel sorry for. They wanna stay up late and wake everyone, then they can deal with the consequences of going without a radio. I don't feel bad, so I'm not sure why you would, " She shrugged, " So, did they wake you up too or just studying?" She asked, pulling her long hair back into a ponytail.
Of course, he felt the need to apologize again, but she chose to ignore it.
She knew what it was like to come from a family with history. She heard rumors-- some she couldn't even tell you if they were true or not, but having that dark cloud overhanging caused a lot of trouble for her in her early years. Fights, spats, hexes... She was a firecracker always on the offensive with no one to back her up. She had to learn to stand on her own, so she was looking out for the kid.

Scorpius didn't want to anger this girl but girls in general were balls out terrifying him and now this one is talking to him, trying to teach him to be a bigger guy. Of course that ticked him off a little and not because he had a temper but because the only people telling him what to do was not her.
"Well." he started but swallowed a big lump. Just think of your friend, your dad and speak your mind Scorpius, dammit. Scorpius eyed his books back at the seat he had taken earlier that evening and back at the girl.
"I am sorry for them, they need attention too bad." he said and though it was not a good defense it had to do.
"I was studying, i need to not fail this class." he admitted. "Why are you awake?"
