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!
How are you doing brother? I miss you, work has been a little hectic but then again I do work at St. Mungos so that explains a lot of it. How is school going for you? I really hope the two of us can get together during the holidays, I really want to be able to catch up and just know how Hogwarts is going for you while I'm not there anymore. It feels like just yesterday that we attended at the same time but life does go on and we all need to grow up sometimes. I am sending you some sweets and some money so you can keep up your strength and get to do what you want. Although if you get a girl pregnant then we're definitely talking and I will go all mom on you sweet brother of mine. Love and miss you, write back when you can.
I know it's been forever, since we last spoke. Sorry I didn't stop by to see you, before I went back to Hogwarts. But in all honesty, it's definitely adjusting since the events last year. I am still leery about trusting people, because having your sexuality revealed to the entire school is something that sucks and it's hard finding people to trust. How's St. Mungos going? I know you said it's been hectic, and I admire you working there. How many angry patients or family of patients have you dealt with?
Also thank you so much for the gifts, I got a gift for you too. And it's hard to believe your grown now, but knowing our family you'll end up being very successful. Because we got strong woman in our family, especially Lyra. Even if I hear her life isn't the greatest in regards to her personal life. But she is a great mummy, and I am looking forward to seeing you all for Christmas. We definitely need to catch up, but I am not sure if they're going to be lenient with all that's going on. But I hope to spend time with my big sister.
Oh believe me, I don't intend on getting a girl pregnant.
I am so glad you got my owl, I would have had to come down to Hogwarts if you didn't respond by the end of the week (hahah). I know Damy, I feel so bad that you had to go through that and if I could punch any of those pathetic kids that dare hurt or taunt you then I would in a heartbeat. But you're stronger then you think you are and I really hope you embrace all that you are and who you can be in the future. There is a gorgeous light waiting for you at the end of the tunnel and I hope you go straight for it and not stray. As for work it is good besides it being hectic here and there, but believe me I have had a lot of angry family members from the patients more then patients. I know with my charm I got them to calm down but it was definitely hard. Always complaining about how their family member aren't getting enough attention when everyone should know that it's a big hospital and attention needs to be on every patient not just one.
I am so glad you like them! I wasn't exactly sure what to get you so I just winged it mostly. I know I'm grown, it's insane sometimes I look in the mirror and I have to laugh since I remember being this flat chested eleven year old and now I got a body of a woman and sometimes I don't know what to do with it. Oh Lyra has been going through a lot, apparently Cole's father is everywhere now and it's going to be a bumpy ride from here on out. Although I don't like what that man did to our sweet Lyra but I do believe that when push comes to shove that he can maybe change and if he doesn't then his manhood is getting chopped off by me and my sharp nail filer. I mean it. I'm happy that you will be home soon and I cannot wait my dear brother!
Good, I am not ready to kick a young girl's ass for throwing herself at you nor give you the sex talk. I hope this gets to you and you write back as soon as you can. Love you little brother!
First off good luck with trying to march down to Hogwarts. Ever since that werewolf attack they have been cutting down, and it's honestly really unfair that they are doing that. If were honest kids should be careful knowing how crazy this world has become. And I think that Macmillan kid probably had provoked the wolf or something. After all, they are humans before being a wolf. They only turn into wolves once a month, so it had to have been provoked or something to do something like that. I apologize for getting off track, I definitely am too trusting when it comes to wolf, but I don't get because they are not bad people when in human form.
Back to the subject, I know it was wrong what they did to me. I just don't get why it's so wrong that I like boys and tend to find them more attractive then females. I can't imagine myself kissing a girl or anything romantic with the opposite gender. So I don't get what they think they will accomplish by trying to pick on me for being gay. I'm not going to change and worst part I planned on coming outside of the closest this past summer. But that asshole did that for me, and I hope there is a light at the tunnel. Although I do think kids have forgotten about it, but I am not getting my hopes up. Maybe I might get a surprise and meet my fairy tale prince. I bet it's hectic and have you heard much on that Macmillan kid or any new werewolf attacks? Also those angry families are so wrong for even getting mad at you. They don't know what you deal with on an daily basis, but I guess when it's family or those you care about. Being in the dark sucks and you'll do anything.
The way I like it, when you wing it. Honestly there is no lie you are the best sister ever, and I think you deserve so much credit. I am hiding the candies from my roommates, because they will probably steal. I mean if they are nice they can have it, but if not then they will not get any candy simple as that. It is insane how crazy life goes by so fast, and you are definitely the most beautiful woman ever. I know you don't know how to use you body sometimes, but when you do use it. Please do it smartly, because you don't deserve the trouble. What do you mean that Cole's father has been everywhere, I mean I heard Ari say that Cooper had a run in with him at Hogsmeade. But I didn't think it was true, the guy has been MIA for three years. Do you know how Lyra is taking it or are you not sure. If so how is Lyra, I haven't seen her in ages.
He's not worth cutting off his manhood, he'll have his day. Isn't his brother keeper for the Pride of Portree? Speaking of Quidditch, Hufflepuff won their first match and took half of Slytherin out. I also cannot wait to see you, I had heard from Ari that we are having a family party or something this coming Christmas, and I am excited. Are you going to be home much over, break? And don't worry about giving me the sex talk, I learned that sex has caused this family enough trouble.
Damien do you honestly think that those bans can stop me from kicking someone's ass. Believe me I can always get to someone in more ways then one thinks, also I still have eyes and ears in Hogwarts so I can always use that as a last resort if I honestly needed to okay?
It seriously breaks my heart Damy when it comes to your situation, I really wish I could ease your pain and really protect you through your school years and try to get those annoying and immature kids away from you. I honestly don't know what others get out of making someone's life hell. I swear if this happens to you later, tomorrow, or next week and you need to talk to someone I will always have time for you Damien, I really mean that. I don't care if you think I'm busy just send me an owl or something.
I don't mind if you share the candy or what not with those who deserve it. I also don't want you to think that someone is your friend and it turns out that they're not and just using you for things. Also thank you brother I will definitely take all of that to heart when it comes down to it. And yes Lyra is upset, apparently he came into the place that she works, the bar not the studio, but anyway yeah Lyra told me about the whole thing with Cooper and the father, it was horrible and I feel so bad for Lyra, she has to go through all of this alone while he gets to live his life. It's honestly not fair to her.
You're right he isn't but it definitely would be funny and something Lyra probably wants deep down inside. And yay! I am so happy that your house won, I know Hufflepuff was probably very excited when they won. I am definitely going to be coming home, although I do work three days before the holiday but other then that I am off for the holidays and I am going to give you the biggest hug when I see you.
I know nothing can stop you from coming to the school, and if you don't mind me asking who are your eyes and ears? Because I'd love to know and feel free to sic them on some of the kids. As long as nothing bad happens, and I know it hurts you. Didn't know that being gay was a bad thing, but some people just want to hate me, because I am different. Don't tell me I know you want to ease it, and I feel like the only way for me to not feel the pain is not make friends, and only trust family. Ari has never left my side and has even promised to defend me. And this is something I have to try and do on my own, because hiding behind it. Just makes me more of an baby.
The thing they get out of making people's lives miserable, is feeling superior. A chance at getting power, that's why anyone does shit. And it makes them feel good when they do that. But I know right now I am sounding like a kid who hates the world, but if were honest. I used to have some much faith in people and it seems like those kid who hate the world, got nothing to worry about. Unlike kids who exert themselves always find themselves getting hurt, but maybe one day it will get better. Who knows. But if it does happen again, you can bet I will contact you, because it does feel good talking to you. And out of our family members, you are the one with less drama.
In regards to the candy, I can always keep it to myself. And I learned that which is why I like to shut people out, it makes my life so much easier than I don't have to make any friends. It's not like people are pounding down my dormitory to be my friend, and it's honestly sucks seeing all the couples be happy and in a way I am happy people know that I am gay, but it just hurts it had to happen. I kind of wanted that good coming out of the closest that you see in movies, but maybe it just means something great is coming.
Honestly, it seems like Lyra has won the card for having the most drama in her life. Is that even legal for him to come into workplace, and did anything juicy happen when he came. Or was it too hard for her to reveal, and I also know Cooper has been acting weird. Not like he isn't weird with his ego level but it's more weird. Do you know what happen between Cooper and Cole's dad. It's not fair you are right, but it's the unfortunate circumstance of male privilege with how the male always get away with it. While the girl suffers, and I don't know what Lyra does aside from parenting. But I feel so bad that she ever had to go through what she did. I do know I heard that she's trying to get her life in order. Is it true that she used to be really bad at partying, because like I said I haven't seen her in awhile. And she always seems fine.
It would be funny, but I think he's suffering from Lyra being better than him. And what do you mean something Lyra wants, for his manhood to be cut off? Do you think they'd ever get back together if he wasn't such a dick as everyone is making him sound. And thank you, even if I was just spectator during the match, but I can tell you Cooper was an asshole. Pretty sure he got the whole Hufflepuff team to hate him, and if were being honest I think he suffers from toxic masculinity. But that's just me.
I love how all our letters turn into essays, and I will give you the biggest hug. Maybe the day I come home, we can hang out. Also tell Lyra, that I am excited to see her and hope that things get better for her.
Oh no dear brother I shall never reveal my sources on who I have looking after you, one day I shall tell you who they are but for right now just stay wondering oh sweet brother of mine. Hell Damy even family can't be trusted at times. Believe me even though when it comes down to having one's back they can also stab you in it and it's horrible for me to say but it can be true. That why I don't talk to our darling brother that much unless to be civil.
Believe me they want to feel the power by getting you to cry or be upset or what not but the best thing to do when it comes down to those type of situations is to simply just smile and agree, let their power flame out and give yourself the power instead. Believe me I know when school kids said I was fat even though I wasn't, I simply said thank you and eventually got left alone for the rest of my time there. If they know you could careless then they will most likely stop. And that's all I ask for you to do is to contact me and let me know what is going on.
Lyra didn't really go into much detail, she basically just said he was being an ass which we all know he can be, that he was with another woman and that the two argued but she kept her cool for the most part. Believe me I think she is feeling upset about this but she won't actually admit it to me. Also I am not sure what happened exactly between Cooper and the dad, basically there was insults thrown and a lot of yelling and anger from Cooper's side mostly, but I wasn't given much detail on that either. I feel bad Lyra is going through this as well, believe me I wouldn't have much strength if I was in her position, I know I would be a wreck if it was me.
Lyra has done well for herself but I think so has he, I believe he got better pay at the Ministry, but not entirely sure on that part. I am not sure if she'd forgive him or not when it comes to this, believe me I want her to be happy but I don't know if that is what he wants or not. This is a two way street when it comes to them. Oh yeah I can see Cooper having that, I try not to spend as much time with Cooper by myself because I know I'd strangle him eventually.
I know! But at least you can say we're not stupid and write pages to each other haha. Also I shall let her Damy, she'll be so excited to see you, I know it.
