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?

history
Quincey is born Quincey Eccles, taking up his mother’s last name because his dad yeeted out as soon as the deed was done. He grew up with a ten year older brother named Jaxon Frost. Jaxon’s father Colin and their mother Alice had been together in a happy relationship until the man died when Jaxon was eight. After the death of her love, the mother spiralled down quickly. His mother had become addicted to flush away the pain of her beloved man already before she got pregnant with Quincey. It was a miracle he was conceived quite healthy regarding the situation. The two half brothers and their mother lived in the worst parts of London. Jaxon took up a lot of the tasks their mother should’ve done. Because of this, Quincey had always been very close to Jaxon. However when Jaxon turned eleven, he left mother and child to study at Hogwarts like his father before him.
Alice was not a good mother and often child protective services had to be called because she was neglecting her child. They started a traject with her and to the outside world she seemed to be doing slightly better. Ever since he was young, Quinn has been exposed to the less pleasant things in life. His mother wasn’t fit for work so she often relied on the company of men to pay for her and her children’s needs. During these times, he often was outside from already a way too young age. The men that came in often weren’t too nice and his mother was afraid they’d flee if they found out she had kids. He had some friends, often older boys who took advantage of the young kid’s gullible innocence. One would say this is a pretty rough childhood but to him it was normal. Quin was always happiest when big brother Jaxon came home from Hogwarts and shared exciting stories about magic and beasts.
When he was seven, his mother was dating a man for a longer time than most of her flings. Despite this man being their mother’s drugdealer aside from her lover, Sing-tu was a decent guy to the kids. The man happened to be a wizard too, like Jaxon’s father and took him to wizarding London when it became apparent Quin would be magical too despite having a muggle mother and father. There in the darker streets, the man was doing a deal with one of the shop owners and Quincey walked off. He found himself being picked on by two pureblood kids who noticed his muggle clothes. But a blonde boy stepped in to stop them. This kid was going to prove to the pureblood kids that despite their parents, the blood was the same. He did so by giving all of them a tiny cut in the hand palm. The purebloods were already freaking out and ran off quickly. It was that day he became friends with Dio who was one year older than him.
He joined the kid’s little troublemaking gang and was often found in Knockturn, getting into trouble all the time. However unlike Dio, Quincey hated violence which greatly annoyed the older boy who often called him a scaredy cat. A few months later Aslan was born making him the third son of Alice Eccles, all with different men as fathers. The three boys looked nothing alike. Jaxon had a dark skin tone and rocked his tight braids, a spitting image of his deceased father. Quincey closely resembled their mother. And Aslan took most of his father’s Chinese genes. At this point, Quin lived his happiest life despite having two druggie parents and living in a ghetto. Quincey actually experienced love from his mother and stepfather. Not much later Jaxon graduated Hogwarts and started his auror training. He wanted to join the forces and make the world a better place. Sing-tu often joked that he had to watch out from now on and they laughed it off.
It was as if they’d jinxed it because only a few days later, they got an owl from the Ministry of Magic noting that Sing-tu had been captured and would be spending twenty years in Azkaban for several crimes.
And with this the happy image quickly fell apart. Mother hit rock bottom and actually started to hit her kids, something she’d never done before. There was less money with Sing-tu out of the picture. Jaxon had left the house and was struggling to pay his own bills. As much as he’d love to support his family, it was rather hard because rent in London isn’t cheap. Desperate for her money and drugs, she ended up doing the most horrible thing you could do as a parent. Once the muggle police got notice of this, the child support services took the children away. Since Quincey possessed magic and baby Aslan had a magic parent, they were brought to an orphanage for magic children. Some peace returned even if Quinn was shaken up, he was glad they were safe. Jaxon would often visit his brothers but wasn’t suited to become their poster parent due to his age. Jaxon eventually started dating a girl he met at work and they started living together. Quinn waas jealous but eventually grew on to her.
During this time the werewolf conflict started to really get going which would be the next event to mark the broken family. When Quin expected Jaxon to show up, his girlfriend Eileen came instead. The look on her face was enough to tell him something very bad happened. Jaxon was attacked by a werewolf from the Trossachs pack. A name that was very familiar to Quincey because he had heard Dio mention them. His heart sunk when he heard the news. Jaxon was alive but because he had been found late, he was in a critical state. The next few days were uncertain. Eventually Jaxon was outside life threatening danger but would remain in a vegetive state until today.
It was around this time that Quincey and Aslan were adopted by an elderly pureblood couple. Cristopher Burke and Fiona Burke nee Avery. The couple had served time in Azkaban after the second wizarding war but had their charges expunged 2011 due to new evidence and were excused for their crimes, just supported the dark lord. In an interview it showed that the two had a change of heart in prison and were now trying to better themselves. One kind act was taking in the two siblings who had suffered under the upbringing of a deranged muggle mother. They really considered themselves saviors. However already quickly it turned out that this was just a scheme to fool the public.
Cristopher went right back to the family business that made him rich. A grand maffia like empire which his wife didn’t even know of. She just lived a happy wealthy blissfully blind life. This went beyond anything Quincey had seen. The fancy upperclass maffia really dweled in darker stuff that went beyond simple drug dealing. While Aslan who had a wizard father was treated with care, especially by Fiona who finally had kids after a long childless marriage. Quincey was reminded of his place right away. The young boy was manipulated into doing all kinds of things that were making him sick. Bribing him with basically holding Aslan hostage and promising to give Jaxon the best health care in the world so he would soon get better. Due to his survival instincts, Quincey knew it was better to cooperate even if he would be selling his body and soul. When he met with Dio again, the two had a major fight. Quincey was mad because Dio’s statement about werewolves and Dio was mad because Quincey had become that posh privileged rich boy they both hated.
It was time for Hogwarts which came as a blessing. An entire new side of Quincey showed, one pretty much like the playful child he once was. He decided to keep that persona because people were actually enjoying time with him. People liked humans who were light hearted and inspired people. So he’d be that person. Through his career at Hogwarts, he discovered various talents and interests. None of them being educational, most of them came with artistic stuff. Quinn didn’t like to do things by the book. He wanted to experiment and get creative. Potions would absolutely be his worst subject because he kept messing with the ingredients. He wasn’t really interested in classes or becoming the best. He mostly had fun spending time with people and enjoying his little moments where he could paint and forget about the world. Due to the funds of his new family, he got to go to painting and violin classes. Often went with his adoptive mother to the theatre. The Burke family would find everything Quincey wished for. Because money didn’t really matter to them.
At school he usually was a bubbly cheerful chap that loved snuggling with people. However he was not always able to keep up his second life. Especially if letters from home came in, Quin would often have a few off days. While he has a lot of friends, he doesn’t trust anyone enough to share his home situation.
During 2018-2019 it became clear that Aslan didn’t possess any magical powers. Leaving Cristopher to groom Quincey into his heir. Expecting him to be grateful because he’d have a future many pureblood children could only dream of. Cristopher shared his long term project to research the origins of magic, attempting to cure squibs. If Quincey didn’t do exactly as he pleased, Aslan would likely be nominated as a test subject. May Quin do everything right, they’ll continue until the cure was there. This was only one of the dark schemes that was going on.
Aslan was a happy innocent boy who had no idea what kinds of things his older brother had to endure. But Quin prefered to keep it that way. At least one of the three brothers got to live a happy life. His happy times were at Hogwarts and with each year closer to graduation, Quincey becomes less optimistic about his future. He doesn’t want honor or money as his future promises. He’ll be happiest enjoying creating new things that inspire people or make them smile.

Where else should I- Argh,” he hissed in pain but kept pressing down on the wounds. As if this day couldn’t get any worse. It was the morning after a full moon and the wolf really ravaged his body not to mention any substance he was on had long worn off. There was a large bite wound on his left arm and a deep set of claw slashes across the same chest. Pressing the wounds wouldn’t heal them and neither would muggle methods. “Sorry, sir. We no longer take patients of your kind,” the nervous lady behind the desk swallowed and avoided Toby’s eyes.
“What the hell? What am I supposed to do? Bleed to death on this floor?” His eyes widened in frustration, his voice started to growl as an after effect of the night before. He’d already lost so much blood, Tobias didn’t know how much longer he could hold up. As he stepped closer, the woman scoffed backwards. “Sir, I kindly ask you to leave before I call in the aurors.” Tobias froze and noticed that several people in the waiting room either had their wands pulled or were shielding their children. The look on people’s faces were mixed with disgust, fear and hate. The young werewolf’s gaze turned towards the ground and with a defeated look, he left the building a bloody trail. Just outside of the hospital he sat down on a bench, still holding on to the clothes that were soaked in blood. “Is this how it’s going to end? A pathetic death for a pathetic life...” He sighed and closed his eyes in defeat.
