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!

Eva was bored and she wanted to get drunk. Honestly she had nothing to do, nowhere to be and nobody to stop her. Eva finished her fourth whiskey and rose her hand to order the next. Her eyes were on her glass as she tried to think of what sweet hell her life had thrown her into. Was this some kind of test? To check how strong she is because if that's they case they killed the wrong sister.
Eva yawned and just nodded as the refill came. She took a gulp and groaned. Yep the burn was getting bad but she didn't care. Eva yawned some more, her eyes on the glass still. She had no idea how to get through her life anymore and the cutest guy she ran into was a bloody student too. What was wrong with her?
Someone sat down beside her and she was about to complain but then recognized her face. "Thank god it's you."

“You know, for someone who doesn’t drink, I sure seem to spend a lot of time in bars looking for you.” Chastity stated matter-of-factly as she sat down next to one of the very few people she considered a friend. “This is the sixth bar I’ve checked tonight.” She caught the attention of the bartender and ordered herself a coke and another of ‘whatever she’s been drinking’, nodding towards Eva. She didn’t like alcohol at all personally but she knew it helped Eva feel better, as much as she didn’t enjoy that fact.
Chastity turned to look at Eva properly and to be honest, she didn’t look great. There were bags under the girl’s eyes, her usually bright and shiny hair hung dully around her shoulders and she looked like she had been to hell and back multiple times since Chastity had last seen her. Admittedly it had been a while since she had last seen Eva in person; they weren’t the type of friends to see each other frequently but they kept in touch. It was actually why Chas had gone looking for her tonight - she hadn’t heard from Eva in a few weeks.
“What’s happened? You went off the grid completely.”

Eva would've told the person beside her to get the hell out but the person beside her was her friend. Someone she could talk to and it didn't feel bad to actually have a friend here even when it was Chastity who would probably rather commit a murder than bother with Eva but ah well here she was anyway.
"Only six? Wow you are determined." she said with a small grin and drank from her drink. She let out a groan and rose her eyebrow at Chas having the same drink. That's new.
"Yes I ehm.." she sighed and spun the glass around on the bar, watching the liquid create a small cyclone.
"I obviously fell off the wagon and I am not bothering getting back up on it anymore." she said with a small shrug. "How have you been?"

The blonde pushed the alcoholic drink in front of her friend. She may not approve of Eva’s constant drinking but who the hell was she to stop her? Not to mention it sometimes seemed like it was the only thing preventing her from wanting to murder Chastity (though that feeling was certainly mutual at times). Two stubborn women arguing would eventually lead to bloodshed one day.
“No shit, Sherlock, I can see you clearly fell off the wagon.” Chastity rolled her icy blue eyes. “I’m surprised you stayed off as long as you did, but honestly Eva...you’ve let yourself go this time. You were a functioning drinker before you tried giving up and at least looked like a member of society.” This was why her and Eva were such great; sure hearing the truth could hurt but the cold truth was what they relied upon each other for. No one else would ever tell Eva what they really thought like Chastity would.
“What caused you to fall off the wagon?” Chastity was curious. “Do I get to go and beat someone up, poison them? I can make it look like an accident. Hurt them just enough for them to come see me in St Mungos then ‘sorry, their injuries were too severe and we couldn’t help him.’ Easy done.” Was it normal for friends to offer to murder someone for you?
If there was one person Eva could rely on it was Chastity. They were both ruthless in their opinions and because they knew exactly what buttons to push on each other they ended up being friends and actually alive in each other's presence. The young woman took the drink Chastity got her and took a gulp before even considering answering her. Yes she fell off the wagon hard and this time she stayed off because what was the point?
"That is the nicest way to put it." she said and knew Chastity really was right but Eva stopped caring about herself. "I know.." she loved the wine at dinner times where she could just go out with her friends and enjoy a glass of wine without being completely wasted and look like she was given birth by a trashcan. Then Chastity asked the one question that was important in this conversation and Eva just made a face, emptying the glass.
"Ava's dead." she said and pushed the empty glass back towards the bartender. "Murdered in my living room." she added and frowned for a moment. The person who did it wasnt' caught and if she could get her hands on them she'd make them suffer. "If you can find whoever that is.. I'd pay you with my kidneys to murder him or her.." she said and sighed. "You know how it feels.. to have another half and now mine is ripped away from me like she meant nothing." she said and sighed.
"I fell off and got kicked off the team so... got not much to do with myself these days."
