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!

PERSONALITY
Positive Traits: reclusive, awkward, depressed Negative Traits: intelligent, quiet, distrustful of others Quirks and Habits: - Alexander has very odd sleeping patterns. He often crashes in the afternoon during class, then wakes up at midnight and spends the rest of the night reading. He's usually incredibly tired during class as a result. - Being an orphan whose parents died in a fire, Alex doesn't have many prized possessions besides his mother's necklace and father's favourite book. He managed to find a way to create a hidden compartment in his trunk to stash them there so when he's at the group home during the summer. the other kids cannot raid his trunk and steal them. - Alexander is definitely not a fighter - in fact, if there's conflict and the option to run away, then he will. Otherwise, he completely withdraws into himself and he will not make eye contact. - Alexander is a huge geek and so often he compares other people to characters from sci-fi/fantasy books or movies. Likes: listening to Indie music, reading fantasy and sci-fi books, sleeping every chance he gets, drinking coffee as much as he can Dislikes: the kids at his group home, the Owlery tower, being outside in the sun, romance novels Boggart: His house on fire Mirror of Erised: His parents alive and reunited with him Patronus: Mouse
HISTORY
2010 - Alex vividly remembers being trapped in a burning building when he was 5 years old. He remembers his mum pushing open a window, pushing him through it and urging him to run until he got to the neighbours house. Her last words to him were, “dad and I will be right behind you.” They weren't and Alexander was taken to a group home that night.
2015 - Receiving the letter to Hogwarts. He was still at the group home because nobody wanted to adopt a boy who was almost a teenager. This caused Alexander to feel very abandoned and closed off. However he remembers feeling incredibly happy because at least he could wave goodbye to the orphanage until the summer holidays. He was grateful to be away from the bullies in muggle school and it was a change of pace . 2018 - In the summer break just gone, Alexander stayed with a family for two months. He'd had high hopes that they would want to adopt him, or at least foster him when he came home from 'boarding school' during the break. Unfortunately, they did not. Alex was 'just not the right fit' was what they said, the day before he was due back to start fourth year at Hogwarts. Alexander began feeling rejected, hopeless and lonely. Just last month in September, he came incredibly close to throwing himself of the owlery tower but thankfully another student walked in and managed to talk him down. Things have been a little rough since, and Alex has spent a decent time sleeping in bed and hidden away from the world.
Angel telling her that she was the ‘embodiment of joy and sunshine’ made Vi grin once again, happiness and warmth coursing through her veins once more. Who knew the stoic Ravenclaw boy could be so sweet? Although… he definitely had his sneaky side, she knew that. Leaning up, Vi pressed another quick smooch against his cheek with a ‘mwah!’ before leaning back. “You’re so sweet you make my teeth hurt! If you were a building, you’d definitely be Honeydukes!” It was a weird compliment and she was well aware but she didn’t care because it was true. “Sooo… who was the lucky girl that got your first smoochie woochie? Or boy?” Though he insisted he was straight, it never hurt to ask just in case.
“Yeah, you, Silly Pants McGee. What if you’re the meanest student in Hogwarts? Does that mean I get to give you lots of kisses and hugs? It’s not like I’m about to go give someone like Rosa - Merlin, she’s a piece of work - smooches and cuddles,” Vi said, shuddering at the mention of Rosa’s name. In general, she tried to like most people but Rosalia was a known purist and she’d made her best friend, poor, sweet Prim, run away crying at the dance… yeah, she didn’t mesh with the girl. “A week is like… seven days and however many hours! It’s a long timey wimey time. I’ll die of boredom.” But then Angel suggested they hold a slumber party and instantly, her eyes lit up because yes. “What a fabulous idea! Okay. Okay. But only if we can have marshmallows and play, like… a game… and invite the other Ravenclaws! We could invite Victoire, and Mark, and Nico… oh, and Vanya and Cae and Alex! Maybe some other girls too.”
It was a rare occasion when Vi was lost for words, but it felt like Angel had taken them straight from her mouth and she stared at him in awe because wow. Did he really think that highly of her? She thought that he, like most people, just thought she was a weird, bothersome girl who was always all over someone. She didn’t think he viewed her like that. “I… Angel, that’s…” Not sure what to say, she hopped off the table to launch herself at him in a great big hug, her arms wrapping around his waist to squeeze him tight. “That’s the nicest thing someone’s ever said to me,” she said, murmuring the words against his chest, warmth radiating through his t-shirt. At his question she pulled away and smiled up at him brightly. “Okie dokies, so… truth. That’s what I choose. Truth bomb me!”
