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!
Alexander is a friendly young man, who is confident and able to make friends with ease. There isn't a lot Alexander will judge someone on, although he is prone to arguing with those who don't agree with him. He's quite the activist and would prefer friends who are of the same mindset. He always has something to say and always has an opinion on everything, and will chat your ear off at any given moment. He does seem to take hints pretty quickly and will quieten down if he's upset someone. He has a bit of pride, but his intention is never to make someone sad- just to change their mind.
Enemies are very easily come by with Alexander. He has a mouth that never stops moving and is very opinionated. Blood-purists, werewolf-haters and homophobes are sure to be on his list of enemies. He doesn't tend to clash with too many others, some may dislike his penchant for arguing a little grating but he isn't one for lectures. Students that dislike prefects may find him a little too bossy.
LOVERS
Alexander is a little at loss when it comes to love. He's never been in a relationship before, or even snogged any boys but he does know he wants something like what they have in the movies. He crushes fairly easily but is unlikely to act upon these crushes, believing that his studies take priority over romance. EMIL ZALEWSKI - "can you believe that someone can be so handsome yet so smart? and he's the head boy...dramatic sigh" ALEXANDER GREENAWAY - possible crush

about
sixteen | slytherin | former uagadou student | single | bookworm extraordinare
FRIENDS
Raouf is quiet and unseen, going through his day to to day activites trying to be unnoticed. He doesn't like to call attention to himself and often surrounds himself with people who feel the same way. He often befriends those who are in need of company, earning himself loyal friends in turn for his supportive attitude. @cassidy - penpal JUNAID ZALAYAT - former friend (presumed dead) GRACE LONGBOTTOM - sweet girl who helped him to class @sam - slytherin buddy
ENEMIES
There isn't a long list of people that Raouf would count among his enemies, however he is vicious in his attacks. He isn't easy to anger, and it doesn't last very long however he defends himself and his friends with ferocity. If he has a problem with someone, he is likely to keep it to himself. There is no point in making a stir over nothing.
LOVERS
Raouf is in a new country, with new people and a new cultures. He is time poor and very focused on assimilating. It may take a bit of wooing to even get him to notice another person romantically.
Adrian isn't the best at making friends for himself, so it is incredibly lucky that he's a pureblood so that other purebloods want to associate with. He's quite sarcastic and grumpy, which puts off a lot of people. He's reserved and doesn't like to share himself with others, so it is easy to feel as if you don't know him at all. Although he doesn't always realise, Adrian constantly tries his friends nerves as if challenging them to still be his friend despite his annoying attitude and stand-offish behaviour. AIDEN VALENTINO - rich pureblood friend MIA-ROSE LINWOOD - snarky buddy
ENEMIES
Adrian doesn't make a big enough splash in the word to have multiple enemies. He might have a bit of a quarrel with anyone who wants to date Vinda, since he's engaged to her but otherwise he's a generally nice guys who doesn't step on toes. His passive aggressiveness might piss off people, but hopefully not enough that they hate him.
LOVERS
Adrian is not a great prospect for love. He's engaged to a woman he'll never romantically love and he doesn't plan on coming out. Ever. VINDA SELWYN - engaged
Hugo comes across as an intense person, and that is because he is one. He never 'sorta' likes someone, he either hates or loves them or isn't interested in knowing them at all. He tends to attract all kinds of people despite his disinterest in most of his classmates. He isn't hard to befriend, if someone knows the right thing to say but he is also deeply suspicious so friends must withstand prolonged periods of radio silence on his end. He would be likely to befriend people who share interests and opinions with him. NADEZHDA KAREVA - close friend, outdoor buds
ENEMIES
A muggleborn, Hugo is very aware of the previous disagreement between the muggleborns and purebloods. He associate most purebloods with blood supremacy and therefore werewolf hate. He is also doesn't take well to people disagreeing with him and while he may not be provoked into action right then and there, it would be best to keep an eye on him afterwards. @purebloods - will fight them at any time
LOVERS
Hugo is quite promiscuous, and quick to jump in and out of relationships. He finds that he's quick to get bored of someone romantically, so prefers 'free love'.

about
twenty | gryffindor graduate | single | pansexual | werewolf
FRIENDS
Gabriel used to have a huge asortment of friends...that was before he disappeared off the radar after becoming a werewolf. Very few of his friends actually know what happened to him, just that he was fired from his job, some have just stopped trying to contact him. He's had to become a little bit of a recluse, heading into the muggleworld to do some odd jobs and seen in Hogsmeade running errands for his mother. He's likely to have a friends within Hogsmeade that he can visit, new and old.
ALEXANDER McCARTHY - little brother, cares deeply for him @person - relationship
ENEMIES
Enemies have never been something that Gabriel really had. He wouldn't be angry if someone decided he was a monster because of his werewolf status, he'd pity them for the fear that the ministry has inspired in them. He doesn't hold grudges often and is pretty forgiving, but a few people have stepped into his life that he hates with a passion. People on this list would have had to have threatened him or his family with harm. Helena and Ewen Morgan - his grandparents Ministry cronies - he thinks the ones that create and enforce the discriminatory laws are the worst. @person - relationship
LOVERS
Gabriel has never been single for as long as he has been as a werewolf. He loves quickly and deeply, quite a romantic soul. If you are interested in a romance plot, let me know! @person - relationship

Daniel Forrester

about
twenty-nine | slytherin alumnus | single | anti-werewolf league | Ministry worker
FRIENDS
Daniel has a lot of friends, ministry employees, shopkeepers and the like. Before he worked in the ministry, he worked at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, so he knows Diagon Alley exceptionally well, including most of the long-term workers. He's likely to have friends of all ages, from school or from work. He never misses a chance to befriend someone, to gain their favour or indebt them to him. @person - relationship
ENEMIES
Daniel is very wary not too make too many of public enemies. There's people he hates, there are creatures he despises and then there are the frenemies. He's sure to piss off some perceptive people with his sweet-talking ways, and with his personality as a whole, but most people put up with him. He's good at making people do that. @person - relationship
LOVERS
Since the passing of his fiancee, Julianne, Daniel hasn't been looking for anyone. He's had a date or two here and there but it's something that still haunts him.
ALEX!! - as prefects, Aiden would probably find the younger Alex a headache and a half. He gets rather snippy. I would find this hilarious to play out, honestly. The dichotomy that is Aiden: his inward shut the fuck up and outward ’oh that’s nice’.
- Alana would have a very difficult time controlling her anger and blood lust around the boy. But she’d Find it very amusing to send him on to annoy Aiden instead
- Gabriel has a lot of... stereotypically gay tropes like meticulous, well groomed and dressed, knows how to dance and has a passion for food, wine and a good cheese just as a few examples. So other than him having a girlfriend this term it’s quite possible there was the idea going about school that he was not straight. Not that I expect there to be any attraction for Alex but it’s possible that for a really awkward thread this misconception could be discussed ?
- Liam would love bounce around and chat. But he is the biggest fraidy cat when it comes to werewolves and so he doesn’t have a very tolerant stance on the whole thing (pro-Ministry). In fact it might be quite interesting for an otherwise silly boy to have a D&M about the stuff with your boy!
- Zoe isn’t one of his class teachers but I think she’d always enjoy a chat or two. She can provide good guidance when it comes to liking boys and girls and stuff!
RAOF!!
- Alana & Aiden would appreciate that he is not an attention whore. What might show cracks is the fact that they consider their reputations to precede them and most people are intimidated (-cough- read/ they are big old bullies!!) so he can always protect some weakling character or NPC if you like
- erm so Raof is buddies with Gabe’s [unfortunately] cousin and his personal pastry chef (read: Jun) so I imagine they have a bit to do with each other. Gabe would probably take it upon himself to be a cultural ambassador after dealing with Jun’s foreign arse for a while now.
- Liam would possibly be a thorn in Raof’s side. Playing pranks. Refusing to talk proper English and literally always in colloquialisms (trust me that was he hardest part when I went overseas ... I found out just how little amount of English proper I spoke!) and trying to convince Raof to dance with him and connecting about his ancestors being from Africa way back when 😂 (he’s terrible I know)
- Zoe, being a foreign teacher, would possibly be a good place if he ever needs to talk. She gets it and... well the U.K. is a lot more similar to Australia than any African country so she’d be even more understanding ❤️
SEBASTIAN!!
- Alana & Aiden have a decent amount of respect of his mastery and pedagogy so they’d be attentive enough students.
- Gabriel has a vested interest in how Seb & Graham go; other than that he’s an ok student. He has a particular flair for charms and transfig so it’s a class he is enjoys well enough.
- Liam reckons Prof Sam is wicked. He’s already planning their teacher-student dance off for the Christmas party... whether or not Sebastian would ever allow it lol. He’s a class clown so might get a few detentions from Seb in the past (and going forward haha)
- Zoe...... would... love to “play” with her professor friends. As they’re both muggleborn, they could always bond over that!
- Verandi says he needs to watch his back because she hates him. I’m sure she’s had a run in with him in the past and she holds a grudge and it usually has violent endings.
TYR!! - as second in command of the rival pack, I imagine that Tyr and Teddy would have some words to share.
- Verandi Loyal to a fault, she loves the pack leader as much as a sociopath is capable of it. She’s been a part of the pack for a long time lndñ so they are about to thread soon just FYI
ROADROO asdfghjkl so I know I've responded to a few of these via discord but I thought I'd cement them down in text!
Alexander -Aiden and Alex sound like a ball of fun! I'd love to thread a time where they have to use their prefect duties together and try to not snap each other's heads off haha -Alex would totally hit on Gabriel if he thought he was gay. 100% -Alexander would try his very hardest to convince Liam that werewolves aren't all that scary... very possibly would fail and that might put a strain on their friendship. I definitely think that idea has a lot of merit! -Alex would love to bond about 'straya with Zoe. Does she supervise for any clubs? Or maybe she could accompany him on a prefect round if his scheduled prefect bud was sick?
Raouf -Yes I love the Alana and Aiden idea!! -Perhaps with them spending so much time together, Raouf could develop a little crush on Gabe? Just a small one, nothing too serious. -Raouf would be pretty ruffled by Liam, I can see it already. Maybe we could have them meet up at the Winter's Ball? -Professor Savage is pretty intimidating in her niceness. Raouf says no thanks hahaha
Sebastian -Seb is up for the challenge of a dance off! -He also needs more teacher friends, he'd love to get some pointers on teaching in itself!
DAVID JONES - he's a fellow Ravenclaw in his sixth year. He's a loner, and loves to write and conspiracy theories. Currently working on a novel, and can use some friends.
CASEY STEVENS - same year, same house. Casey is the Ravenclaw's seeker and just recently came out (more like forced). I'm sure these two had past interactions due to the same year and such.
PARKER TYRELL - she is also in the same year as him but in Hufflepuff. She has a love/hate relationship with her boyfriend and can come off as annoying due to her being chatty. ---
DAVID JONES - I can offer whatever you want with David. As said before, he's a loner but will love to have some friends to keep him company.
MORGAN REID - Same house, same year. She can be one of his friends if he ever needs one. But be warned, she does have a temper when someone messes around with any of her family.
OZZY TYRELL - now, this guy is the asshole I always talk about. This can go either way to be honest. He has respect towards housemates.
---
@sebastian DONOVAN STEVENS - He's my Auror who loves/hates his job mostly due to the werewolf laws coming in hot. I can offer a friendship for him and he is the boyfriend of Sebastian's fellow professor, Ariella.
any of my students can interact with him if you want. Some have their own issues that can be addressed.
---
@tyr ARTEMIS FITZGERALD - a teenage werewolf. Could have crossed paths with him.
PETER TYRELL - another teenage werewolf. Kinda still new at it with PTSD due to being held by a bad crowd of wolves before he was rescued by his girlfriend in Russia.
CHARLIE JONES - a fellow Hufflepuff, and my new baby who loves art and is also a grump at times. She is also very honest with people. Oh, and she's a fourth year.
PARKER TYRELL - if you want an annoying little shit, here's Parker. She can either get on his nerves with her whining, or be someone who wants to help.
--
This is all I can think of as of right now. Might come up with more but yeah.
Hey Rose! I can definitely throw in my newbie Rebekah who is a 17 year old Ravenclaw with any of your Hogwarts students? She is kind, loyal, but she can be a little bit of naïve but she has a good heart and always tries to make new friends. She is currently three months pregnant so she could use some people to either hate her or befriend her.
I can offer up my werewolf Blake with @tyr? She is twenty and she is dealing with becoming a new werewolf practically all alone, she is working at the Spiny Serpent since she can't get a real good paying job.
I can also offer up Cleo my single mother of twins to anyone on your list. She is the Owner of Hogsmead and she is always looking to help and just get to know someone.
Alexander - Casey Stevens sounds like some Alexander could be study buddies with! Maybe he could try and get her to talk about being out, give her some advice haha. - Parker Tyrell and Alex are sure to get along! He doesn't judge family background, nor does he have much prejudice against any Hogwarts houses...just people who don't like werewolves. He's personally offended by them.
Raouf - David is sure to get along with Raouf much better! They sound like they could be the sort of people that work on their separate tasks together, silent but in each others company. Maybe David could introduce some secret parts of the castle to Raouf? (also on a random note these two have almost identical wands) - Unfortunately, I can't see him really getting along with Ozzy or connecting with Morgan
Sebastian - Sounds good! He's likely to keep in touch with his auror mates. Maybe DONOVAN STEVENS can be on the Hogwarts Express for the Christmas holiday trip? - David and Casey are under Sebastian's care, they can come to him for anything. If you need a teacher plot, I'll be first in line
Tyr - For either of your characters, he's likely to try and tempt them to join his pack. The more the merrier. He's not a nice guy but he can sure play the part.
Adrian - Maybe not a best friend since they have quite an age gap, but Charlie could certainly be someone he socialises with on occasion. He'd like a fellow grump to sulk with haha.
@caroline
Raouf - I think it would be really interesting for Rebekah and Raouf to have a thread together. He comes from a very traditional culture and I think it teen pregnancy without marriage would be a shock for him. He might not react in the most positive way but it would be a real learning curve for him haha
Tyr - I would love love love for Tyr to convince Blake to come to join his pack. He has plenty of ways to convince her, and he could really use the money she's getting from working (he provides shelter and food and she gives him half of her shitty wage sorta deal). I'm sure he could figure out something with her.
Hey! I finally got to your plotter hahaha. So, with Hugo, I have a few ideas relationship-wise:
Matheus && Hugo - so my boy would have very much hit on Hugo in the past, and they could have possibly had a one night stand or a friends with benefits sort of a deal? I think he'd like him, but the events of what happened at the ball would definitely concern him. He'd want to know what was up with that.
Grace && Hugo - so... I don't know how close they would have been during their years at Hogwarts together but I can see Grace having been polite/friendly to him in passing? His intensity would have intimidated her a little but they're both pro-werewolf (though Grace to less of an extreme). Idk let me know how he would have taken her?
Vinda && Hugo - no, do not pass go, do not collect $200. They would not get along at all. I think Vinda could have gotten into a few tiffs with him during her time at school if he irritated her enough to the point where she spoke out about it.
