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!

Scarlett didn't think this was it, the moment she was going to give birth to her child. She barely even graduated and was now in a hospital without knowing what to do or how to even function. The pain was something she had never felt before and her hands were gripping the sheets because if she had to grip Teddy's hand he'd not have a hand left. The brunette's mind went from cursing the hell out of everyone in Italian to wanting to cry and beg them to make it stop.
"Teddy make it stop!" she shouted and groaned as the healer told her to get ready to push. "Oh I will push something alright! and you won't like it." she grumbled and did as she was told. The entire moment about giving birth, the stories she read about the beauty of life, it all went to hell with this experience. Thoughts of never again and this wasn't worth the nine months crossed her mind as she pushed a child out of her body. Why did she even think this was a good idea? Why did she even for a second think that?
It was then the pain faded... cries were heard and Scarlett's grip loosened on whatever she was holding onto. She felt her body relax as much as it could and her eyes were on the baby held up and presented to the young parents. "Teddy..." she said with a whiney tone to her voice, that was their baby. "He's beautiful..." she closed her eyes for a moment with a smile on her face. She did it, she actually did it. The biggest accomplishment in her life and she did it.
Stay calm, Teddy looked down at his hands only to find them shaking like a leaf. In theory Teddy knew that they would get through this birth fine - it was a moment of pain for a lifetime of happiness right? Even at the camp, the women that chose to give birth there seemed to do... fine? To be truthful Teddy was thankfully never there long enough. Scarlett's cries were hurting his head - but he went through the motions of attempting to help. Breathe, he'd remind her because apparently birth shut off the automatic processes of the body? "I mean I don't think making this stop now is a good idea Scar," Teddy said with a raised brow, his face as white as a sheet and his hair drained of colour too. "It might hurt more just kinda stuck in the middle of.. you know..."
When she threatened the healer, Teddy grimaced and tried to smile innocently at the person. "She's... she's Italian. They're... passionate?" he tried to apologise but the healer was heads deep in a place that Teddy never expected to see another head coming from. It was... Teddy felt a little bit of his food that he had forgotten he'd ever eaten rise into his mouth because that was going to be difficult to get out of his head. Still, the baby slid out of Scar in the end like it hadn't just taken hours to do so and Teddy found their baby in his arms soon enough. "Oh, Scar, look at him," Teddy was star-struck. The baby was so tiny and... and red with darker red hair as he fussed. "Shhhh, look, do you want to meet your mamma?" Teddy cooed and passed Scarlet the little boy, who almost instantly lost all that redness as he blinked up with unfocused eyes towards the mother.

The woman felt sweat drip down her skin as she lied in the bed, feeling disgusting and yet happy. The brunette was trying to catch her breath while her head was pounding as much as her heart was beating out of her chest. The young woman looked at her boyfriend with tired eyes, tears making her vision slightly blurry as well. She bit her lip slightly as she looked at the baby she just pushed out. It was a son, a boy she made inside of her, all red and his dark hair made her smile.
"He's..." she cleared her throat, feeling the sore raw flesh hurting by every sound she made. "Beautiful.." Scarlett managed a smile though it wasn't easy with her entire body giving up on her after she gave life to a child. "He..." she reached out for him and smiled weakly. "Mio amore.." she whispered and closed her eyes for a brief moment.
If Teddy were able to avert his eyes from his newborn son for a moment, perhaps he would have made a joke about the state his partner was in. No doubt he would have gotten a decent smack or two, even if she was struggling to muster enough energy to smile because no one wants the fact that they looked like a hot mess brought up after such a happy event. Besides, as the woman took her baby in her arms, Teddy smiled widely and proudly because despite the hot-mess... she was extraordinarily beautiful. "Of course he is, he has the most beautiful mother in the world," Teddy said as he tucked a stray lock of Scar's hair behind her ear and placed his forehead against her sweaty one for a good moment.
"You look like you need some rest, Scar," he murmured and somewhere in the background the nurse agreed. As he stood up straight once more, Teddy rubbed Scar's shoulder gently as if that would make up for all the pain she'd just endured. "I can cuddle the little man while you have a rest?" the nurse, on the other hand, had another suggestion. "We should take Master Lupin for a quick wash and so the Healer can give him his first check over - " Teddy nodded in agreeance. "Maybe all that red isn't just his magical abilities?" he suggested, playfully bumping Scar gently on the shoulder. "Think you can let him go for five minutes after being with him every minute of every day for nine months?"
