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?

Vinda is a control freak and if things don't go her way, then watch out because she will make everyone's life a living hell. If she's not sure of the exact dress code (something which is rare), Vinda will always always overdress because to her, there's nothing worse than a lack of effort made by others.

HISTORY
2007 - Being 5 years old and receiving an incredibly rare letter from her father, Tiberius Selwyn, in Azkaban for life due to serving Lord Voldemort in the Second Wizarding World. Having been 2 years old when he was imprisoned, Vinda doesn’t remember much about him but the letter is something she treasures. It read that she was ‘destined to achieve great things’ and that he knew she would ‘uphold the traditional pureblood values that have been instilled in the Selwyn family for centuries.’
2011 - As Vinda grew older, her intelligence only grew with her and so at the tender age of 9 years old, she started to put the pieces together. Flora, her 'cousin', looked awfully similar to her older brother Pierre. Too similar. Convinced that it was not just a 'coincidence' as her Grandmère Perrine would tell her, Vinda went digging. Her mother, never camera shy, had exactly one photograph taken of her in 2004 at Vinda's 2nd birthday party where she looked uncharacteristically bloated as a whale at the time. Sure of herself, Vinda confronted her 16 year old brother Pierre at the time who had figured it out years earlier only to have him confirm that she was correct but to keep it to herself.
2016 - Going to a pureblood ball over the Christmas holidays when she was 14 years old, Pierre was 21 years old and Flora was 12 years old... and seeing the looks cast her way. By this time, people had started to suspect her mother having cheated on her father... except not with her Uncle Pollux to have Flora, but with a different man to have her instead. She looked different from her brother and sister with her blonde hair, lighter skin tone and round face. At first, Vinda didn't want to believe the rumours but now at 16 years old she can't help but wonder... is her father a different man to Pierre and Flora's fathers altogether?
Truth be told, Greyson didn't even like magical creatures all that much, and they didn't tend to like him back much either. The only reason he'd even picked up this stupid bloody class in the first place was because the options other than flying were even worse. Who the hell wanted to learn how to read bloody tea leaves in Divination? Not him. Screw that.
With his arms folded across his chest, Greyson begrudgingly took a step forward to join the circle Almir had formed... out of all the Professors in Hogwarts, the bloke was probably the one he liked the best because he didn't believe in that bullshit 'Professor' and 'student' crap, the ones Professors liked to use because it made them feel powerful. As if what they did was even that important. Dickheads.
As the one of the Hufflepuff girls answered Almir's questions, Greyson just barely held back a sneer. The only reason he didn't spit some nasty comment at her was because he knew that she was the one Gabriel fancied for some Merlin forsaken reason, and his brother desperately needed to get some. Hopefully when the 'puff gave it up and they got to bed, she'd do Gabe the favour of removing that stick shoved up his arse. Maybe then his brother wouldn't be so uptight.
