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!

Kaylie was amused, the teachers these days were insane. She didn't know what school she went to any longer whether it was bitchface mcgee in potions or a woman with her boobs basically shoved in Kaylie's face in muggle studies. Why did she take that class again? Oh yes she thought it was useful.
The blonde was seated against a tree at the edge of the forest. She didn't care if it was dangerous, this seemed to be the one place most idiots left her be. Her eyes were closed and to some people it might look like she was taking a nap. Honestly she could use one but that was not really the point of why she was here.
She was here to escape. The professors would be pissed obviously and maybe she wanted them to. Maybe one of them would let her get far enough to get expelled. What would happen to her then? She was a mess dressed in leather and not even her girlfriend knew half of it because even though she knew the things that were going on in her life.
She didn't accept the fact or know about the fact that Kaylie might be dead by Christmas. The blonde dug for her flask into her pocket and grinned when she found it.
alking into the forest with a cigarette shoved between his lips, Greyson was surprisingly not in a terrible mood for once. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that he'd downed a good fourth of a bottle of firewhiskey he had stashed in his trunk after class. A fourth wasn't enough to get him drunk but instead, he was pleasantly buzzed.
Greyson had just been about to reach for his wand to light his cigarette when suddenly, there was a rustling of leaves nearby. "What the fu..." Raising his head, he smirked as he saw Kaylie of all people sitting against a tree. She was someone he'd grown to consider a rare mate of his, equally as sarcastic as she was messy. She was fun to drink with too.
Lighting his cigarette, Greyson moved her to sit next to her. "Can I say you're lookin' good, Rousseau, or will that pretty little girlfriend of yours hex me?" Though they weren't friends, Alana was someone enjoyed but for entirely different reasons to Kaylie, like the fact she hooked her fangs into his neck on the regular. It was... a weird feeling, but one he'd never experienced before, but it was like an entirely different way of getting high. It was dangerous, pumped adrenaline through his blood, and knowing that one wrong move could bring him to an early demise? Shit yeah, he was into that.

Kaylie was about to take a sip of her flask and get slightly wasted when she eyed Greyson coming from around the corner. He seemed to not have expected her to be here but the smile on his face meant that at least no one stepped on his balls and kicked his mood to next week. The blonde gave him a smirk and held out the flask like she even had to ask if he needed some.
"You can, I never shy away from compliments." she winked and shrugged a bit. Alana shouldn't be bothered by them either. Kaylie never saw herself as the biggest catch in the world so she was sure Alana would be fine with the few compliments she did get.
"I am sure she won't snap your neck off." she added with a chuckle and shrugged a bit.
hen Kaylie wiggled the flask of booze in front of her, a grin crossed Greyson's lips as he snagged it from her hand. Untwisting the lid and taking a swig, Greyson swallowed and let out a satisfied 'ah' as the straight liquor hit his throat. It burned slightly, his throat a bit numb from the quarter of firewhiskey he'd drank already, but he didn't care. All pain felt good to him, and this was no different.
"Good. 'Cause shit, man, if you were straight I'd try and get in your pants in a heartbeat," he said, snorting in amusement because yeah, that was never gonna happen. The thought sure was nice though. "If girly Valentino - that is... Alana, not Aiden - tries to snap my neck and I live to tell the tale, I'll be goddamn disappointed." If she succeeded, he'd be happy as hell as long as he didn't come back as a damn ghost.
"Pleasure?" Greyson repeated, amused. "What, you think I've got a chick stashed back in a tree or something? Hell no. I'm just here because Wood bitches about me smoking in the dorms and gets on my last goddamn nerve about it. Can't stand that goody two shoes. He needs to smoke something, maybe it'll help the bloke relax."

Greyson was one of the good ones. At least to her he was, his attitude was a good thing honestly. This world was full of goody two shoes and stuck up shits for a lifetime. The blonde watched him drink and just let him have the flask, she was buzzed and it felt damn good.
"If I was straight, I'd probably let you.." she returned with a wink and a smirk. Kaylie just wasn't into men like that, it was a disgusting image in her mind but she didn't like to speak her mind about that out loud.
"Oh Aiden can be very girly, that haircut doesn't scream man to me." she snorted and rolled her eyes. She loved her girlfriend but sadly those two were a package deal. "So if you die, you wanna be dead for good?" welp that was dark. The blonde hummed and frowned.
"Yeah I can get into that. To be honest I'd be surprised if I last till New Year's." she reached for her flask. "Hey I don't know what Gryffindor's finest is up to these days!" she laughed and shrugged.
"Wood? why can't he open a bloody window? At least you have windows!"
he smirk on Greyson's face only grew bigger as Kaylie said if she was straight, she'd let him. "I'm not tryin' to turn you or some shit, but have you ever? With a bloke?" he asked, more out of curiousity than anything as he took yet another swig out of Kaylie's flask.
"Aiden's a little bitch boy. Mr. Prefect. Dude reckons just 'cause he's got a shiny little badge it means he's important. Bunch of bullshit if you ask me," Greyson said with an abrasive snort. Self-important little git. He couldn't stand the dude. He shrugged at Kaylie's question, as though it meant very little to him and like it was an unimportant topic. "Yep, if someone's gonna kill me then I better be dead forever. Hate my life already, why would I wanna come back as a ghost or some crap and watch over my loved ones like some creeper?"
"Last 'til New Years for what?" Greyson was confused. For pleasure? What, was she trying to tell him she hadn't actually hooked up with Valentino yet? "Yeah, we have windows. He reckons it'll make everything stink." It would, but that was beside the point. He should be allowed to smoke up in his own damn room, right?

"I have, had to fake all of it but I have. It wasn't the best experience of my life."
Kaylie wasn't very open about her abuse, she honestly didn't believe it to be anyone's business but Greyson was her friend and she felt like she could trust him enough not to blab it out to the rest of Hogwarts. God knew what could happen if the professors find out, she could already imagine the news traveling to her mother who would be even more pissed.
"Aiden's special.." she didn't know what else to call him. "He is kind enough to me, but only because his sister tells him to be. Whether he truly likes me I wouldn't know. To be honest I don't care." she shrugged.
"Yeah I'd rather be dead forever too than being a ghost. Imagine that? There isn't even a way to off yourself as a ghost is there?"
"Okay don't tell anyone because I will kick your ass to next month but.." she sighed a bit. "My mother tends to be the kind of person who likes to discipline me with her hands and tools rather than her words." she said and cocked her head a bit, raising her eyebrow.
"Dude its your room too, if you want to smoke then fucking smoke. All snakes seem to do it and no one bitches about it."

t Kaylie's response, Greyson nodded. It made sense, after all. If he didn't want to shag someone in the first place, of course he wouldn't enjoy it. He could see her viewpoint but instead of getting all deep into it with her, he said with a bit of a smirk, "Guess it's good you're shagging chicks now, huh?"
Greyson's brows raise as Kaylie brought up Valentino and his 'kind' ways because Kaylie was Alana's girlfriend and immediately, he snorted because right. What a goddamn weirdo. Who was that whipped by their sister? "Maybe there's a bit of twincest going on there," he said, pulling a disgusted face at the thought. It was gross, but then again... who knew.
"Damned if I know," Greyson replied with a shrug at the question Kaylie posted. He was related to a ghost, believe it or not, because for some reason beyond him, Lottie had decided to come back at one. It was a goddamn bloody tragedy too because she was annoying as hell to him.
Kaylie's confession about her mother all of a sudden blindsided Greyson because how the hell had they gotten onto that subject? But as well as being taken aback... unfortunately, Greyson wasn't surprised. There had to be a reason why Kaylie was such a self-destructive mess, and that was one if he ever heard one. "Then leave," he said shortly. It may have been blunt, and with a lack of emotion, but it was straight-forward and maybe what she needed to hear. "You're at Hogwarts for the next nine months, figure out a way. Better then going back to some old demented bitch who kicks the shit outta you."
Greyson simply shrugged at Kaylie saying it was his room. Yeah, it was, but the bitching from Wood was just over the bloody top. It almost wasn't worth it, and so he'd just have to resort to smoking when the dude wasn't in the dorm and hanging about, waiting to ruin his fun.

Like she hadn't thought of leaving in the first place. Fuck knows she tried. She left, she ran off, she got caught by the authorities and sent home to a mother claiming her daughter had a mental illness and apologizing for letting her skip her meds. It was ridiculous but the bitch got away with it every single time. Kaylie shrugged as he said she should leave, she couldn't even when she tried.
"Last time I tried to leave I ended up in the hospital with a mother claiming it must have been the drugs." she laughed at the insanity of it, maybe doing drugs would have fixed it all. "Dude I am all ears for ideas." she said and eyed him with a shrug of her shoulders. Truly if she could run she would have but the bitch had her claws in deep.
"Speaking of smoking, you got some more on you?" she asked curiously. "Liquor is good but I could use a smoke."

reyson's brows raised as Kaylie claimed that her mother had sent her in the hospital because what kind of psycho was this bloody woman? She may have been just that, a woman, but Greyson wasn't scared and it showed in the irate tone of his voice as he asked, "Want me to sort the bitch out for you? She ain't got shit on me, and I'm a minor with no offences. Won't get sent to Azkaban or jail or anything yet. Sounds like the cow needs to be taught a lesson of her own, maybe take an 'accidental' tumble down the stairs."
When Kaylie asked if he had a smoke, Greyson nodded shortly, reaching into the pocket of his leather jacket (yeah, he was a cliche, what-fucking-ever) and pulled out his pack, offering her to take whichever one she so pleased. "You need a light too?" he asked, stubbing his own cigarette out with his free hand. Once she'd grabbed a smoke, he'd light up a new one for himself.

Kaylie expected a lot but she surely didn't see him offering to off her mother coming. Or hurt her for that matter. Of course she would love to see the bitch punished but she knew better than to hit back, she would just find ways to break her hands so she couldn't hit anything anymore and Kaylie needed her hands. The blonde frowned a bit and took a smoke before trying to come up with an answer.
"You'd toss my mum off the staircase?" she said with a small smirk and nodded when he asked if she needed a light too. "I feel so special." she might be joking but his offer did mean a lot, Kaylie didn't have many friends and shit without Greyson she might be stuck with bitchy chicks around her.
"Thanks." not just for the smoke, but he would know she was thankful for his offer as well.
amn straight I'd push her down a staircase. Out a window too. Maybe in front of those, uh... muggle things. Y'know the ones that move on the road?" Grey said, shrugging carelessly. She deserved it, and one day karma was gonna kick this lady in the arse if he didn't get there first.
At Kaylie's 'thanks,' he raised his cigarette in a gesture as if to say 'you're welcome.' But he didn't bother saying it aloud, because that was way too bloody formal for them and their type of relationship. "Does your girlfriend know what she's been doing, man?"

Greyson's friendship meant a lot and they both knew that they'd be willing to kill for each other in a way. He was willing to shove her mother in front of a car, now that is something she'd love to see. The blonde laughed a bit as he said it and shook her head.
"A car? Oh yes I would love to see that." she did fantasize about a bus once but a car... she wondered if the woman would fly from it. The thoughts of murdering her own mother with a vehicular accident was broken when he asked about Alana.
"Well she does. I think she even fantasizes about eating my mother and not in the sexy way." she said and smirked a bit. "She even invited me to her home for the holidays now I come to think of it. Doubt her parents would allow it."
r, yeah, I guess," Greyson said in response to Kaylie saying what he was speaking of was a car. She knew more about the muggle world than he did, after all. All he knew was that these 'car' things were big, metal boxes and would transform this chick into roadkill, or send her straight into St. Mungo's. Maybe the latter option was better, as then the Aurors could do an investigation then realise what was happening at home. "Man, she should go to Azkaban. They torture the shit outta you there. Heaps better than a quick death, especially after what she's put you through."
Eating her mother? Shit, no. Kaylie's mother didn't deserve the thrill of a vampire drinking her, taking some of her life. That was reserved for him and, well, maybe that asshole Aiden. He wasn't sure, but he and Alana were so close he wouldn't be surprised if she drank from him too. They shared everything, from what he'd seen. Probably even a bed, no doubt Aiden would insist on that. He supposed it was only lucky Alana was a vampire because at least then Aiden couldn't knock her up. "Their home? Wonder what their parents are like to create kids like the Valentinos," Greyson mused aloud. "Do they know you and her are together?"

Her mother in jail would be nice but she doubt it would happen, it didnt happen in sixteen years. The blonde just smoked the cigarette quietly and eyed her friend who offered many ways for her to punish her mother in return for what the bitch did to her. If only, she would totally give into those thoughts.
"From what I know they are very much not aware." she said and frowned for a moment. "I doubt they even know she's gay. Honestly I wonder if it's even a good idea to show up there but it can't possibly be worse than my mom's would it?" she chuckled a bit.
"Hey what's more fun than secret sex right? The thrill of getting caught.."
