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!
Dio has had a girl on his mind for a while now. However every attempt only lead to sexual tension but no actual action. He was pretty certain she was into him too. The only one who yelled harder at him was his own mother. But how could he tell her? Valentine was upcoming. Dio ended up asking Vito for advise. Vito was good with men women and everyone between and outside that. People liked personal gifts. Or small tokens of affection.
After some thinking Dio finally came up with an idea. It took some time preparing but he was quite proud of the end result. Aggy would definitely jump on him after receiving this. On Valentine's day he got up early to place the present box with her name tag on it at her usual spot. A note was attached with:
" Let's settle this once and for all,
-Dio"
He took place at the Slytherin table from where he could have a good view.

Aggy could say, with a degree of certainty, that she looked very much the spitting image of an anaconda as she yawned widely, practically unhinging her jaw in the process. It had been a long night, one filled with tossing and turning before she finally fell asleep. Stupid bloody upcoming OWLs. Who the hell decided that standardised testing was the answer? The disarrayed Ministry of Magic? Numpties, the lot of them.
Taking her seat at the Gryffindor table, Aggy reached for a mug, instantly filling it up with the elixir of life - coffee. At least she could rely on that to get her through the day, right? She just had to keep topping up her mug at regular intervals. Never let her caffeinated state grow too low.
It was only after she'd drank a few good sips of her coffee that she realised there was a present sitting in front of her. What the... setting her mug down on the table with a thunk, Aggy lifted the note warily like the suspicious teenager she was. Let's settle this. It was from Dio. What the actual... what did he mean settle this?
Ripping off the paper, Aggy grimaced as the sight of a literal rat carcass greeted her. This time, she finished her internal thought of what the fuck and her eyes darted around the room, the small screams of her housemates meeting her ears. Normally, she'd tell them to keep the banshee screams for actual traumatising situations but seeing the bones of dead bloody rat at breakfast gave them a pass.
Locating Dio, Aggy snatched the bones off the table before stalking towards him. It was then she placed it on the table in front of him, hissing, "What the hell is this? Some sort of attempt to prove you're a bad arse, Greyback? Because let me tell you, I didn't think it was all that grand in the Godfather when they sent that horse head, and I don't think you sending me bones is all the grand either. It's twisted, and not in a cool way, sister."
The normies screaming made him scoff a chuckle. So many people in Hogwarts were basic and dull. Not Aggy, she was amazing despite being a mudblood. Which may be made him admire her more how well she was doing out regardless of her parents. Dio could feel her steaming aura coming closer. She was so beautifully powerful when radiating that energy.This was going to be it.. He never felt nervous like this before. What was he going to say?
“Godfather? Vito prefers to be called the back up parent. They helped me come up with the idea. But they’ve never send any horse heads.” he said, not sure what that had to do with anything. He got up and held her hands between his. “Not grand? Aren’t they beautiful? I’ve worked so hard to get then polished and pure white. Making them so they won’t stink. You can display it wherever you want.” His blue eyes glanced to the bones and back to the Gryffindor. Something on her face was off. “Don’t you like it?” His voice lost his pride and enthusiasm. “But the other day you said...”

As always, Dio's social skills were on point... although that could have possibly been because Aggy was an expert at quoting pop culture movies to wizards who had no idea what she was talking about. "Here's a hint: if you give a horse head to someone, the aurors will be called on your arse quick smart," she said slowly, making sure she spelled it out very clearly just in case she accidentally gave him any ideas.
All of a sudden, Dio's tone went from describing the work he'd put into the bones went with pride to disappointed as he asked 'don't you like it?' and she just - she could not deal with this. That phrase about turning lemons into lemonade wasn't applicable because if she had a lemon, she would have probably thrown it at him right now. "The other day I said what? Someone must have obliviated me because I don't recall ever saying, 'Dio, please, try and threaten me by sending a letter and rat bones.'" Because that's what he was doing, wasn't it? By attaching a note that said 'let's settle this' alongside a cleaned out rodent carcass.
