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!
Even though Peter sucked at interacting or reading people, he knew something was up with Artemis. He assumed it was probably the stress of the holidays and was stress eating. He had heard that her twin brother was out there somewhere, and hadn’t written to her in weeks. Maybe he was caught? He knew there were copies of the paper lying around, and that Artie was found reading them every now and then. He even noticed the magazines of weddings and stuff, and he understood that well because the couple was engaged.
”I think she even stole the bag of chips I had stashed under our bed.” he said and waited for the water to heat up with a tiny sigh. ”Might be stress eating. Christmas is coming, and her brother hadn’t been seen or heard from in weeks from what I’ve heard.”
I will tiptoe down that line but I will feel unstable
Mara was wondering about any signs of Artemis acting off. Of course she withdrew herself sometimes for her art but nothing told her that she was eating so much aside from the lack of snacks in the house. The girl ran a hand through her hair as she listened to her boyfriend and hummed. "Odd.. I thought you ate those." she admitted with a blush.
"Don't worry I bought new stuff the other day, like a lot of it and the new owner of the hog's head is giving me free supplies in exchange for some work at the bar." she said and smiled a bit. "I mean I don't do much except look the part, he gave me mint too for tea." she added.
Mara nodded when he explained stress. "Oof, I swear that guy needs to get over himself. I mean sure me and my siblings don't get along all the time but I don't act like a total bitch because of who they date." she said and rolled her eyes.
"Maybe he needs to man up and just deal?" she suggested and poured her boyfriend a cup of hot chocolate. "Here., want some mint?"
Peter listened as he waited for his hot chocolate to be made, leaning against the counter and he really wished Artemis didn’t finish the marshmallows. The male enjoyed them, and even heard of the s’more thing during his travels with Mara. There was a time he found someone watching tv in a shop, an American show and had spotted the food from it. He was curious ever since, and he wanted to try it one day. All he wanted was to try new things, and knew everyone in this cabin was curious on some food items. Maybe he can get the stuff for it, make it and let them try it.
”Well, we all know Apollo and Dallas don’t get along. Not even when they were in school. Remember? The fight between the two after dinner a couple of years ago. Apollo made a comment about sleeping with Morgan to get her to stop looking at Ryker. Dallas lost his shit.” he said, making a grabby hand at his hot chocolate.
I will tiptoe down that line but I will feel unstable
Mara put some mint in Peter's cup and smiled a bit as she did so. It was true that Apollo was a guy with a big temper but he never compared to Dallas. That boy was trouble even before he became a wolf and it only magnified afterwards. Dallas almost killed him that one time and she could've sworn he tried to choke the life out of Apollo back then.
"If it wasn't for Artemis he would've killed Apollo right there. God that fight was horrible and look at them now, two of the sweetest people yet Apollo always makes it worse." she sighed. "He shouldn't do that to them.. honestly. Do you know Ryker and Morgan have been dating for years? I think if Apollo touches either of them girl power is his death." she chuckled and handed her boyfriend his cup of hot chocolate.
"Were you ever jealous of my ex?" she asked and bit her lip. "I mean not that it matters.."
Peter could remember that he had witnessed the fight between Apollo and Dallas, and Artemis had to try to pull Dallas of her brother. The male knew damn well that he could have hoped, but he stayed out of it and tried to mind his own business. Last thing he wanted was for Reid to go off on him, cause the Tyrell’s and Reid’s had a rivalry that went back way before his father was born. Truth be told, Peter was scared of Dallas for quite sometime but found that he was a good guy deep down. He just needed his girl to calm his ass down when shit got tough.
The male snapped out of it when Mara handed him his hot chocolate, and he cocked his head to the side after she questioned if he was jealous of her ex. The male stared ahead, avoiding to look at her and just sipped at his hot chocolate, wincing a bit after burning his tongue and throat. He was going to regret that later.
”Yes.”
And then he took a large gulp of his hot chocolate. Ouch.
