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!

s she turned into the Alley, the brunette paused to glance over her shoulder, checking that she was not being observed. Walking down Knockturn Alley was not in and of itself a crime, but it was at least a somewhat suspicious action, and a woman in her position could not really afford too much suspicion; it made her more prominent clients nervous, and nervousness was never a good thing where business was concerned. Satisfied that she was unobserved, she continued on her way, eyes now turned to the row of shops on her left as she contemplated the contents of their front windows. All sorts of things looked rather interesting, and she took a few mental notes of things that she really ought to come back for later, but at the moment, she could not spare the time; she had an appointment to keep, and her father's business partners were not the sort of people with any appreciation at all for lateness. She was already cutting things rather closer than she ought to be thanks to an appearance in court overrunning somewhat, but one could hardly tell even a magistrate to get a move on with impunity, and so she was having to make the time up as best as she could now.
It would, of course, have been far easier to do so had the man not insisted on meeting in the most ridiculously inaccessible place in London, but then he was paranoid, and Emma supposed that, had she been in his line of business, she would have been too. As it was, it was quite remarkably tempting to hand him in, but she kept her eye on which way the wind was blowing, and as things stood at the moment, it quite simply wasn't worth the risk.
