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!

Artemis knew that if they weren’t bitten two years ago, they’d be at Hogwarts and not stuck in a cabin, hiding. There was a chance that this proposal might not have happened until after they both graduated from Hogwarts. Their lives changed in a matter of minutes, the night that ruined their lives and the female had no idea how she’d survive if she didn’t have Dallas there. They both went through the same pain, both suffered but they had each other. And now, they were in this forever. This was the most exciting thing that had happened to her in the past couple of weeks, and she wished she can fangirl with a friend. Maybe she’ll write to someone and brag about it.
There was a huge smile on her face when he had sat up, and she cupped his cheek with one of her hands, kissing him back. ”Mm.” she had hummed softly, bringing her other hand to his other cheek.
”I love you too, baby. So much..” she mumbled and kissing him back again.
I will tiptoe down that line but I will feel unstable
Artemis meant the world to Dallas and right here, right now this was what mattered to him. Dallas needed to touch of Artemis's lips to confirm the feelings he felt and for once he was just a sixteen year old boy. A sixteen year old boy in love with his girlfriend. Dallas ran a hand through Artemis's hair and smiled, looking at his now beautiful fiancee.
Dallas kissed her back when she told him she loved him and just shifted in position to get a bit more comfortable. He had tried to imagine living without her in his life, without her help, without her calming him down when he got anger issues.
Dallas broke the kiss and smirked. "Bedroom, with me." he said and got up slowly, taking her hand.

Even if their relationship had its ups and downs, Artemis was never going to abandon him because he made her feel safe. Dallas Reid made her feel like the world was all hers whenever they were together, and to her, he was her world. Even if Apollo didn’t approve of this relationship and had tried to break them up several times over the past couple of years, it didn’t budge. Artie knew that her brother was trying to protect her from the Reid’s problem with anger and had even stated he was afraid that Dallas could hurt her physically. But that never happened, whenever her now fiance got angry, she manages to calm him down. To make sure he didn’t get his ass into trouble. But both Artemis and Dallas were strong, and even Morgan said they’d make it. Now, this proposal had proved it.
Dallas made her want to have a family with him one day, and even though they both were hiding and at risk of getting caught; maybe one day everything will be okay again. Maybe the laws would lift up, and they’d be able to get their lives back on track. Maybe she’d be able to see her family again. Sure, it was wishful thinking, but she knew that Apollo would often get money from one of their siblings and give some to her whenever he returns.
There was a huge grin on Artemis’ face when Dallas broke the kiss and demanded to go to the bedroom. She would never say no to him. Not in a million years. ”Let’s go..” she said, taking his hand, getting up from the couch.

Dallas had been doing so well, kept his head down and when he came home he loved the woman he fell for. Without her his life would've been a disaster and he wasn't shameful to admit so. The redhead boy just took Artemis to the bedroom, his eyes on his girl before closing the door and guiding her to the bed. All he wanted was to love her, admire her and show her just how much he could love her without anyone in the pg area thinking this is legit not safe for work.
Dallas pulled Artemis in a kiss and got lost into his own mind and her touch.
The next morning Dallas was just lying in bed, his eyes on the ceiling. Dallas had an arm wrapped around his girl, holding her close and kissed her head softly. "Mmm future mrs. Reid." he said with a smirk as he looked at his fiance.
"We should tell the others today.. sometime." he said softly with a smile. "I should write my sister about it." Morgan was so going to judge.

It was quite a night, and Artemis had slept happily through the night cuddled up to her future husband. She had remained cuddled up to him through the night, and had woken up with her head on his chest, her eyes staring at the ring on her finger. Was this real? She could have sworn she was dreaming, and she had no idea how she was going to explain this to Apollo when he finally shows up. There way no way he’d like this, and he already hated Dallas. This was just going to make things worse, and she would have to deal with another fight.
When Dallas spoke up, she hummed in agreement and she looked up at him with a smile. ”I feel like your sister is going to either judge you, or fan girl.” she said with a small laugh. ”I’m sure she’s going to be happy for us though”
I will tiptoe down that line but I will feel unstable
He was engaged now. Artemis being the love of his life and now his future wife. Honestly he couldn't be better and now he would wake up every morning with an even bigger smile on his face because of her being there, wearing that ring that represented a promise of his love and commitment to her. Dallas looked at his fiance with a smile and kissed her head.
"She will judge, definitely but she'll be happy for both of us." he told her with a nod. "She might fangirl with you though, I don't think she'd do that with me." he didn't really seem to be able to picture his grump of a sister fangirling to him about this. Then again she managed to surprise him many times in many different ways just the same.
"How do you feel?" he asked her and stroked her arm with his fingers. "I could make you something to eat but.. this bed is very comfortable with you in it." he said and grinned a bit as he kissed her head again.

Being engaged was the last thing she expected, seeing that she didn’t see Dallas as the type to pop the question. Sometimes he was full of surprises, and it made her happy. She can remember the little romantic gestures, the random flowers he’d pick for her, and even the snacks he’d make her whenever she wasn’t in the mood to work in the kitchen. After their attack, they had to grow up fast and learn to fend for themselves because they couldn’t rely on most. When Mr. & Mrs. Reid were alive, they’d make sure they have some money to feed themselves, and even told them not to be strangers.
The female lifted her hand to look at the ring as she was asked how she was feeling. She felt good, alive. ”I’m feeling good.” she said and moved her head to look at him with a grin. ”So you’re offering me food but you don’t wanna leave this bed?” she raised an eyebrow, poking his chest.
I will tiptoe down that line but I will feel unstable
Dallas never thought he'd ask someone to marry him, especially because he didn't think he would grow up the way he did. He just realized he couldn't lose Artemis no matter the reason and marriage would bond them forever which was something they both probably needed. The redhead stroked a lock of hair out of her face with a grin.
"Mmm good." he then watched her move her head up a bit and poke him. There was a grin on his face nonetheless, a playful one. "Well I can make food.. but you need to keep the bed warm by yourself." he said and stole a kiss real quick.
"Can you keep the bed warm for your dorky future husband?"

”Baby, do I need to remind you of the time you were shoved out of bed by me?” Artemis asked, raising an eyebrow at him as she moved to get off him. He needed to make food, but her being cuddled up to him made it so much harder for him to do so. Artemis had a habit of hogging the bed most of the time but as of lately they had slept wrapped up around each other. Like they had the night before. This was their life now, even if there were people after them, nothing can get in the way.
She gave him a nod with a grin. ”I won’t have a problem keeping the bed warm for my future dorky husband.” she said and moved to shove him. ”Go, go. I’ll be right here…”
An amused Dallas watched his girlfriend as she reminded him how she kicked him out of bed. Oh she did that many times because when they weren't cuddling she was a ninja in bed and she'd literally kick him out. With both being a werewolf they were slightly stronger but Dallas won the power battle because he worked out more and honestly he would do anything for her even when it was sleeping on the bloody floor because her leg would stick out.
"Yes you ninja." he said and kissed her before getting up so she can spread herself around the bed. "What do you want? Pancakes? Muffins?" he asked and grabbed pants to put on. He couldn't really make breakfast in the nude when he was in a house with others. The other three would be traumatized or maybe motivated but either way not what he wanted.
Dallas went to the kitchen to make Artemis her breakfast and whistled as he did so. Yep life was good this way.

Even though Atemis was a light sleeper, and can easily wake up at the first sound of a floorboard squeaking under someone’s feet, she wouldn’t wake up when her boyfriend hit the floor whenever she shoved him out of the bed. She would have to hear about it in the morning, and she’d feel guilty but would see her boyfriend’s goofy grin, and it would all be better in a matter of minutes. The female couldn’t help but feel lucky now that she was going to marry this idiot one day, and she couldn’t wait to share the news with her friends. And she knew Apollo wasn’t going to be happy about it but she was happy, and he wasn’t going to take that away from her.
Once her fiance was out of bed, she spread herself out and whistled at him as she viewed his ass before he had put his pants on. Such a shame that others were there with them - she would have enjoyed watching that handsome devil walk away. ”Eggs? Bacon? Sausage?” she grinned as she watched him leave to make her breakfast.
She laid back, spreading her arms and legs. Yep, the bed belonged to her now.
A true english breakfast coming up. Dallas winked at Artemis before he made his way to the kitchen. He grabbed the stuff for breakfast and heard footsteps, maybe he should make extra just in case the others got hungry as well. While whistling happily the young male started cooking breakfast, making eggs, sausages and bacon for everyone. Once he was done he whistled a tune to the others to grab food if they wanted some and left with two plates to the bedroom, closing the door behind him with his food.
"For my lady." he said and held out a plate before bumping her a bit with his leg so he could get into the bed as well. Honestly this was possibly the best day of his life right now. He was going to marry his girl and one day they were going to be able to live normal lives, when they reach the adult age they could live actual decent lives together.
"Mmm we need to get more food.." he said and ate some eggs. "Mara has connections now..."

Artemis had laid back on the bed, thinking of what their future could be like, and she was looking forward to marrying the love of her life. The one man that she trusted the most, the one male that can give her the goofy smile when she’s mad and her whole world would light up again. This was true happiness right here, and she couldn’t wait until they were of age to get married without worrying about the laws. Maybe they can get one of their trusted allies to marry them, and she knew that they would have to get the paperwork done for that. Eh, that was a problem for another day.
The female had sat up when she heard the door shut, and she made grabby hands at the food. She hummed as she moved to make room for her future husband, and she took a bite of her bacon with a happy groan. ”I can go with her to get some food sometime in the next day or so.” she said as she moved a bit on the bed to get more comfortable. ”I can’t stop staring at this ring.”
They weren't shit poor but the money that was meant for two had to be devided by more and though Mara had connections to get food, Dallas didn't feel too concerned. They could still go to muggle stores, get regular stuff like regular people. The only things the muggles often cared about was the fact that they were very young of age and should be in school. If only they could be.
"I will also write Morgan to ask her for money so we can actually buy things. She is in charge of the funds for a good reason." he said with a small smile. The redheaded male ate from his plate and looked at his now fiancee with her ring now perfectly fitting her finger. With the way they lived, life was too short.
One day the ministry would do a kill on sight order and then that was it, their lives were even more in danger than they already are. "It looks really good on you." he said and smiled a bit as he leaned in to kiss her cheek. He was going to enjoy the happy moments, he was going to enjoy it for as long as he could.
"When you go with Mara let me know, I can give you some cash to go shopping. It's Christmas soon after all."

Artemis had been wondering how they’d be able to get their food for their Christmas dinner. They were going to have a full cabin sometime, and she was stressing over it. She wanted to make sure they had everything - wanted to make sure everyone would be well fed. The person she worried about the most was little Skylar because it seemed that he didn’t like Dallas becoming a monster. She was concerned for the boy, and would be a little sad if the boy didn’t show. When they crossed paths in the past, she found the kid adorable. A tiny sigh had left her as she took a bite of her food, looking at her fiance. They were going to be married sometime.
”Morgan is the only one with a brain.” she said with a smirk. ”I don’t know how she can do math in her head. It scares the crap out of me sometimes. Is your sister even human?” she teased as she moved to put the plate on the nightstand.
”I got my Christmas gift right here.” she had said and wrapped her arms around him, resting her chin on his shoulder. ”My sexy man.”
