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!
Positive Traits: Leo is very ambitious in a way that he will do his utmost to prove someone wrong if they claimed that he could *not* do something. He is not easily intimidated but will look out for those who are. He likes to goof around but most of the time he is still a goody-two-shoes driven by the feeling of accomplishment he gets, when he reaches a goal he sets for himself.
Negative Traits: His motivation can be very selective at times and he is not the studious type. When he has set a goal for himelself, it is do or die. He will give his everything, disregarding is own - and sometimes others’ - safety. Sometimes he lacks understanding for others who do not share his courage or determination and can come across rather pushy, trying to have others
Quirks and Habits: Often times he has lots of excess energy, but does not know what to do with it. Once that energy disappears, however, he can be almost lethargic. In essence, Leo’s world is rather black and white for him and he gets confused when something is grey. In the common room you will often find him with his feet propped up somewhere or his arms outstretched, taking up as much space as possible with his lean frame. Even though it makes him feel sick due to lactose intolerance, he loves eating cheese and he will do so whenever he gets the chance. He knows that he is being stupid.
Likes: Cheese, his family, playing quidditch
Dislikes: Cheese, studying, chores
Boggart: his family dead
Mirror of Erised: himself as a famous quidditch player
Patronus: Montagu's harrier (bird of prey)
HISTORY
Leo grew up in a very close-knit family. He never lacked anything. Being the oldest child of Lee and Samantha Jordan, he got all the attention of a first child, but did not turn into the jealous older sibling, once his brother Liam was born. Instead he felt responsible, even when he was still a small child, to make sure his younger brother was alright.
Once his sister came around, the feeling only intensified, resulting in a close bond between the siblings. Hence it was Leo, of course, who looked after this siblings on their respective first days at Hogwarts. His own first day at Hogwarts was more excitement than actual nerves. Getting sorted into Gryffindor did not come as a surprise for him, having heard all about his father’s house already.
Together with his father he had watched Quidditch matches a number of times before and he had been allowed on a broom twice before going to Hogwarts. The flying lessons quickly turned into his favourite subject and favourite thing to do. Towards the end of his second year, the most incredible thing happened. He was asked to play on the Gryffindor quidditch team as the keeper had gotten himself into detention, stopping him from playing. He still likes to replay that match in his mind as it was rather more successful than anyone in the team could have hoped for. At the beginning of his third year he was given a permanent position in the team, but he chose to rather play as a chaser instead.
Currently Leo is working hard for his NEWTs. Even though his deam would be to become a professional quidditch player, his parents would not let him go to try-outs if he did not achieve at least 5 NEWTs. Leo is doing his best to achieve just that.

Roleplay example:
John had prepared for this but not quite for this. In his imagination Mary had come out of the classroom like every other day, but today didn’t seem to be every other day. Instead he spotted her with her head down and he tried to explain it and think of what to do now. Usually that wouldn’t have been a problem but today he’d planned something entirely different! And then she’d already reached him and on instinct he held her when she collapsed into his arms, crying. John was definitely alarmed by now and tried to pull back enough to look at her, not really succeeding.
He knew it wasn’t what he was supposed to think, but he was relieved when he heard that this was about school and exams. ”Shhh,” he said quietly and walked a few steps backwards with her so they were closer to the wall instead of in the middle of the stream of people. ”You won’t fail. It’s still so much time,” he told her and petted her back. He was sure he could bury his plan for now. She had different matters on her mind right now.
