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 have you been? I heard the bad news about Hogsmeade, the world is getting scarier isn't it? Happy birthday! I added a box with a gift to the letter! I hope you enjoy it!
I can honestly say Hogwarts blows right now. There was a winter dance, and I hate that I'm alone. Would have been nice to have danced with you instead of my classmate, Scarlett which was a nightmare.
And I love the scarf. I've been wearing it every time I go outside. Makes me think of you. I hope I can see you soon. I miss you.
I made it myself, I know it's lame but honestly it might make you feel closer to me?
A dance? Well when you're here maybe we can dance? You'll visit me in the holidays yes? I honestly don't know how I'll be able to see you now the ministry is acting the way they are.
I figured you made this for me, and i love it. It's so soft and it just makes me miss you more.
Of course I'll see you during the holidays. I'm not staying in this Castle one minute more when we're let out for winter break. I want to see you. Hug you. I really need your hugs.
I'll ask for time off from the store for the holidays so we can spend quality time together! I do miss your hugs too, we'll spend time together soon enough.
How's school going? Do you have any ideas for your future?
Your dad is just hurt Ozzy, when your brother is found again you will be able to bond with your father once more, it's not right for him to blame you. It never will be.
Thing is Chelsea, I don't blame him for blaming me. We usually do these brother camping trips every summer, and me being the ass that I am, decided to not go. We fought, and he was angry.
The last things Peter said to me was I hate you. And I don't blame him.
I am sure he didn't mean what he said Ozzy, don't be too hard on yourself. Your brother loves you and your father does too. Peter will come home I know it.
My father is drinking himself into an early grave, but I bet Ariella would love that. I can't stand the thought of Peter being out there, probably a monster. This life isn't made for him.
Your father is grieving in the worst possible way. I don't think your brother is a monster. I know werewolves are put in a bad light but like everyone, they are all misunderstood.
I might write to my father, let him know I'm sorta coming home for Christmas but he knows I have other things I wanna do during the holidays. Like, seeing you for one. Maybe stay until school starts up again.
