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!
[attr="class","cbtoinfo"]Like Greta, Clara grew up hidden away, as her parents, Thorfinn and Tereza Rowle, were on the run from the law, wanted for their war crimes as Death Eaters. The kids were homeschooled and instructed in everything their parents thought was important, including all sorts of magic, etiquette, and a biased version of history. After running from Norway to Brazil, the Rowles were eventually caught when their son Viktor told the authorities of their location. Since then, with their parents in Azkaban, Greta and Clara have been put under the care of EMMA MOUNTBATTEN-SMYTHE and sent to Hogwarts to finish their education. Clara's personality is fairly open, though I would think she is more reserved than Greta (then again, plenty of people are). Her parents would have expected her to be in Slytherin, but if another house fits better, she can be in any house. I do ask that you use Elena Kampouris as her face claim--she was Greta's old faceclaim on another site so I really associate her with being in Greta's family!
[attr="class","cbtoinfo"]The oldest child of Thorfinn and Tereza Rowle, Viktor was born shortly before the Battle of Hogwarts, and it was for his sake that his parents went into hiding instead of letting themselves be imprisoned after losing the battle. As their only son, he was considered the golden child, and always told it was his duty to carry on the pureblood family name. He grew up just as isolated as Greta and Clara, but after he turned 17, he was allowed a lot more freedom, as his parents trusted him not to betray their location. But the freedom allowed him to see beyond what he'd been taught, and he ended up telling the Ministry about their hiding place in Brazil, ultimately sending them to Azkaban. Viktor thought he'd be hailed as a hero for it, but life has ended up very hard for him because he doesn't have any official education, so he should be either unemployed or working a job that doesn't require education. He is very protective of his sisters and wants to have custody of them, but because of his age and poor career prospects, he hasn't been allowed to. The face that I normally associate with him is already in play, so his face claim is quite open, as long as he has dark blond hair and looks related to Greta and Clara!
