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!
Aurora probably should have applied a glamour prior to her shopping in Diagon alley, but she didn’t like trying to be someone who she wasn’t. Now she was there in Madam Malkine’s robes for all occasions and she definitely hoped that they had something for some of the occasions she had been in. Not all of the bad or anything like that, but she could definitely use some new dress robes, maybe a little more daring than the ones she had had until that moment. Lingerie she wouldn’t be buying there, the sheer amount of it they sell on the muggle side of the world was far more interesting than the wizarding variety.
Closing the curtain as she went into the dressing room with a new set of dress robes, to see if they’d be what she was looking for. Stripping down and quickly dressing again she walked out of the dressing room to find a mirror and maybe an opinion from a employee to help her make her choice as she bumped into someone.
Corrine decided that she wanted some new clothing in her wardrobe. Honestly it was several months since she had done some shopping. Though she bought dresses a lot, she lacked her daily wear work ones. She went to the shop in Diagon alley hoping to find some new dress robes. She at first thought of going to Gladrags but decided against it. It was going to be filled with people and she did not want to hurry her shopping just because some one wanted her to so that they can accommodate someone else. Usually the Malkin's was relaxed and calm for her to shop and select since it was not August and September. Th months before school re-opens make the Diagon alley filled with students.
Corrine was glimpsing through the racks to find suitable clothing for her work. She selected some pretty new dress robes in different colors. She decided to check them out and see how they looked on her and whether they might need some fitting to be done. She was making her way to the changing rooms and passed a closed curtain. She was crossing that when it opened and out came a witch whom she did recognize seeing some where, but couldn't place from where. She looked around and seeing that there were the only two people in the shop, she spoke out loud "wonder where the employees are at".
Aurora had bumped into another woman, for which she was glad, even though it had more been of a brush than a bump. Looking over the other woman she could see dress robes having been selected to try on and Aurora’s heart lightened a little. Perhaps she wouldn’t need to look for an employee, or get out of there because of a crazed fan. A strong jaw line, if she said so herself, framed by dark hair and rather striking green eyes, Aurora approved of what she saw and responded almost without thinking to the comment that had been placed by the other woman.
’’I honestly have no idea, I was looking for one as well. As I am honest enough to say that I know what I like to see one men and women, but have no clue if it suits me. I know it’s going to sound weird from someone you’ve literally just seen, but maybe we could help each other with the robes?’’ The songstress hoped that the other woman would be able to help and vice versa. Only then she realized she had never given her name, or asked for the other woman to do so. Letting it slide for the moment until she got a good feel for how the other woman would respond she let the question linger in the air as she tucked a stray strand of curls behind her ear.
