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!
Ozzy had heard from a little birdie that two of his ex-girlfriend's had a fight or, something that one wasn't talking to the other. Now, Ozzy hadn't spoken to Morgan herself, but he had seen the little angry redhead the other day as she walked out of the classroom cursing under her breath. He then just watched the two for a couple of days, and he was concerned. Yes, you heard right. Ozzy was concerned because deep down he still cared about these two ladies, and they knew the real him. Once you get through his whole, bad boy deal, he would show that he did indeed have a heart.
So when he spotted Ryker Young sitting on a bench, he approached her and had taken a seat beside her with a tiny smirk. He gave a classmate of his a nod before he eyed the girl beside him. "Now why the long face, Young? Is it the whole Morgan and you not talking deal? The little redhead had been pissy for a few days now." he said, smirking a bit as he eyed the female. Did he see a chance to get back with an ex or the other? No. He was actually rooting for him and sometimes, maybe, he thought of getting them both to himself at the same time.

Ryker was trying to relax without thinking about her girlfriend being a jealous bitch because her best friend tried to make a move. People read wrong signs and seriously nothing had happened so Ryker was just frustrated and had taken a seat after a run. She was sweaty and just needed some time to herself but of course those wishes weren't met when Ozzy ended up approaching her with his non existing charms.
"Oh shut up Ozzy." she shoved him off the bench and rolled her eyes. She performed just fine and this was seriously none of his business. "Not that it's any of your business, but no it has nothing to do with my performance thank you very much." the Irish girl sneered.
"It's because Leo made a move and Morgan didn't like it and now she thinks I am the bad guy here."
Ozzy let out a tiny yell when he was suddenly shoved off the bench, and he looked at her with a small grin on his face. Someone just got offended and it amused him. He slowly sat up, and stood back up, brushing himself off as he listened to his ex-girlfriend talk about what had really went down between her and Morgan. He had seen Morgan angry for days now, and yes, even if he was an ass, he was concerned on where this drama is putting his favorite couple. They're the only ones that saw the real him, the caring side of him.
He had taken a seat again, but a little distance from Ryker's feisty hands. "Well, I'm sorry for saying that." he apologized and folding his hands in his lap. "So Morgan thought you were cheating with his Leo fellow? Goddamn, she must be a blind idiot. You're a loyal little feisty devil." he said and raised an eyebrow at her.
"Do you want me to beat up Leo? I'll happily fight for my one true pair."

Ryker had a grin on her face when she heard Ozzy yell. God he sounded like a little girl when he did that. The brunette cocked her head to the side a little and hummed. She truly didn't know why Morgan didn't even let her explain, there was nothing she did wrong.
"I don't need him hurt too, we're trying to win a damn quidditch cup here." she reminded him with a smile. "I know I am loyal, honestly it can be a curse but I figured at least she would know that." she said and pulled her legs up and put them on his lap.
"What is up with you? I hear you are getting into trouble all over the place."
A lot had been happening Ozzy's life, and he was taking it out on the Ravenclaw Seeker for a reason. There was a secret he was holding from everyone, including his sister. The chances that Casey Stevens can be a Tyrell because his father had an affair with her mother around that time, and he was doing the math. A part of him wanted to tell people, and another part just wanted to get rid of the bastard children of his father. Those who were born while married to his father, he didn't have a huge problem with it. It's the others. Did they deserve some of the money his family had? He didn't think so.
Ozzy looked down at his lap with an amusing smile and eyed the girl he dated before. "Just messing with the Ravenclaw Seeker. Didn't mean for it to get out of hand. I do...sorta feel bad that she is spending some time in the hospital wing but she did try to go after me and I couldn't have that. And besides, taking her out would make it easy for your house to win the cup."

Ryker knew he was troubled but she didn't like the thought of him hurting other people because of a vendetta he has inside of him. That is not how Ryker wants to live her life and neither should he want to. The brunette eyed him with a slightly arched eyebrow.
"You are an idiot you know that?" she told him and poked him with her five inch heels. Ryker didn't want to win the cup if it meant that someone has to beat people up to make it easy on her. She was the reason why people ended up in Hospital wings because she was that good with a bludger.
"I don't need help to win. She isn't that good." she laughed. "Besides, she is just a fifth year girl. Leave her be!" Ryker rolled her eyes and shrugged.
"We'll be out of here soon enough, don't need to make a fuss now and get your ass handed to you."
Ozzy chuckled softly when she called him an idiot, and he had to agree with those words cause he was indeed an idiot. Perhaps he should just go apologize to the girl but he knew damn well her Ravenclaw friends would have her surrounded and protected. They all hated him for what his minions did but he didn't mean for it to get out of hand as he said. His sister's were going to murder him for sure, and maybe he'd get into a lovely fist fight with one of her many brothers. Who knows, maybe Don would give him the death glare if he dared touch Casey.
"Oh, I know I am. You also dated me for a short time." he said with a slight smirk. He enjoyed reminding her of these tiny things, and the fact he also dated her ex-girlfriend. "Okay fine. I'll try and behave myself." he grumbled and looked around.
"You want me to try to get Morgan's attention for you?"

"I know, what was I thinking?" she laughed at that and shook her head. She remembered dating Ozzy briefly, Ryker didn't really do well with relationships it seemed though she would have sworn that the one with Morgan would stick. Her eyes wandered off for a moment and her attention was brought back by Ozzy when he suggesed he would talk to Morgan.
"Nope not going to happen. You will just screw it up more." she said and grumbled a bit. She needed to do this herself, she could do this. "I am not Elijah, I can fix this." she didn't do anything wrong but someone had to make the first step and it sure as hell wasn't Morgan so far.
At least he offered to talk to Morgan himself, there would have been no harm. Ozzy didn't have any feelings toward his ex girlfriend's, and he was just wondering if he needed to chat Morgan up because she always seemed distressed about something or whatever. He had seen Morgan in the common room, looking like the walking dead. It concerned him a bit, and knew damn well if he got himself fully involved, both the girls will happily cut his head off. They both scared the crap out of him, and those women, besides his sister is the only one that can do that. He had been on the receiving end of their slaps and abuse. Ain't pretty.
"Hey, I just offered. Was gonna tell her to talk to you before you ended up screwing a tree or something." he said, grinning a bit as he bumped her shoulder. "Besides, she looks like the damn walking dead. I honestly don't think she's sleeping." he shared.

Ryker wanted things to go better, she really did but she couldn't force Morgan to talk to her no matter how hard she tried. Ryker just didn't know what to do to help anymore, she had her parents who loved her and she knew that wasn't helpful with Morgan either. She had her twin brother by her side at all times, Morgan didn't. Nothing she did could help.
"Hah, I'll be fine." she said and snorted a bit about his joke. "It would explain a lot, she has been wanting to sleep whenever we hung out. And I thought I was getting boring." she joked and ran a hand through her hair.
Ozzy was a little concern for Morgan ever since hearing about what had happened over the summer, and he had no idea what to say to the redhead. He knew damn well Morgan would just punch his lights out if he dared to approach her and make some remark about her ass or something. Morgan's temper sometimes scared him, and he knew she knew it well. The thought of her going through such a loss just saddened him even though he was good to block his emotions from coming out and play. He too had been going through shit too, and he sure, he didn't speak of his brother, he felt a lot of guilt surrounding his disappearance.
There was a tiny smirk on Ozzy's face and he shook his head. "Nope. You're not boring at all. But the offer still stands. Even if I run the risk of her slamming my face in, I'll do it for you." he said and looked around the area with a slight frown. "I think she almost fainted in class yesterday."
