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!
It's me again. Or maybe... for the first time. I dunno if you've gotten my other letters 'cause I don't exactly have a mailing address, you know? Which I guess makes sense since you vanished into thin air.
Anyway. I just wanted to write and let you know that I miss you. A lot. It's not the same at Hogwarts without you. Every time I look at the Hufflepuff table... I'm reminded that you're not there anymore and it really sucks.
Also, mum and dad sent me a letter saying that your friend Sally says you're staying with her cousins which is weird because when I asked her about it, she couldn't tell me their names or anything? I asked her big brother Leo if he knew any more details and he doesn't have a clue what I'm talking about.

Hi Ro,
I thought I told her not to say anything because then you would worry but I guess I did tell her to tell mum and dad so maybe I should have expected
I guess you've been writing and I haven't gotten the letters. I finally did get one though. It's nice to hear from you. How is school going? I've been able to write to Sally some and she gives me updates. I'm not going to be able to come back to school, but I'm fine. I have people I'm staying with and they're teaching me things so it'll be okay. So don't worry too much about the details! I just need Mum not to know anything, alright?
That was a lot of scribbling out right there. What's up? What were you scribbling out? I can only squint for so long before I give up on trying to figure it out.
Er, yeah. I've been writing a lot. Some other Rue Howard's probably got a whole stack of letters now and wondering why some random guy named Rowan has been writing her. School's... school. Not too exciting. Reckon I'm going to fall asleep in class some day soon... probably Transfiguration. The new Professor really blows.
I can't not worry, Rue. You need to tell me where you are. Stop trying to pat me on the head and placate me by saying you're with some randoms and everything's okay. Just tell me what's going on. Please.
Love, Ro

Hi Ro,
I messed up the first time I wrote, so I just crossed it out. Don't have all the paper in the world! I'm good for the environment!
...okay. Alright. I can sort of tell you what happened, but I can't totally tell you. If people know where we are it could be really bad. There are a lot of people who hate us right now in particular. And I heard there's some things going on at Hogwarts that might be dangerous for me now so I've been told not to say. I'm really bad at this writing in circles thing but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Yeah, sustainability thou... thy? name is Rue Howard.
I'm so confused, Rue. What do you mean... wait, what the - are you saying what I think you're saying? Holy shit. Okay, yeah. I get why you can't tell me with certain people's noses all up in our business. Do mum and dad know? Are you okay?
Love, Ro

Hi Ro,
No, mum and dad don't know. I don't think I want to tell them which is why I told Sally to say something else. She helped me come up with it. Just so they could be a little bit comforted even though I can't go home. You know how mum is about these kinds of things and I'm not even sure if dad knows about things like this. I don't want to hurt them, I really don't.
I'm finding you and bringing you home Can you tell me whereabouts you are? I won't tell mum and dad, I just need to know so I don't keep thinking really shitty things.
Love, Ro

Hi Ro,
I'm in Scotland right now. Not really close to Hogwarts, but still Scotland. I can't tell you any more than that for important reasons. I guess it's okay if mum and dad know that, but maybe it's better if you still don't tell them. They aren't going to be able to find me, not without magic. It would be better if they just forgot about me, I think.
Don't be daft. They're not going to forget about you, Rue. You're their daughter. Mum and dad love you, and so do I just so you bloody well know. If even you have had something happen to you, it doesn't change a thing. Whereabouts in Scotland? Are you in the city?

Hi Ro,
No, not in the city. In the forest. With some farms. I really, really can't say more, okay? Nobody except us are allowed to know exactly where we are.
And I don't want to be mean, because I love you too, but you're wrong. Things happened and I don't think they would love me now. Only the Rue that was before. But now I can't go home and I can't go to school or anything. They should forget about me, they really should.
