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!
Paxton Williams is a loyal yet overly immature Gryffindor. He loves to pull pranks and get into trouble. Don’t let his rebel attitude fool you though, he smart and loves to learn. Losing his mum at a young age has brought up walls around his sensitive side, instead he uses humor to mask his feelings.
NEEDS/POSSIBILITIES: Pax needs a bff and prank mate!
FRIENDS: As long as you like to have a good time, Pax will be your friend. He likes to pull pranks and will be looking for someone to help him. ENEMIES: There are a few pranks that may have went a little to far, especially on the Slytherins. He may have made a few enemies along the way. He’s also very competitive so anyone who has ever beaten him is considered an enemy. Romance: Pax is just now getting into girls, but he does make a fool of himself around them. His immaturity may be off-putting but he tries to dial it back around his crushes. Somewhat…
Harry is the same boy he was at Hogwarts. Impulsive, loyal, brave, hard headed. He's stressed at work, and trying to juggle being a good father and husband.
NEEDS/POSSIBILITIES: List them here.
FRIENDS: Harry has many friends, most of whom he attended Hogwarts with. Everyone knows about his two best friends, but what about the new ones he's made over the years. ENEMIES: If there is one thing Harry is not in short supply of, it would be enemies. Between being an Author and causing the downfall of a powerful wizard, Harry has enemies all around. Romance: Ginny has always been there for Harry, but work has made it difficult for them. Long hours at the Ministry, and rising conflict between the werewolves and wizards has pushed their marriage to the edge. Harry is firm in his belief that they will make it through this difficult time, but constant strain is shaking his faith
Hey @keely, I mentioned in discord I wanted to throw someone at you so here goes:
JACK O'CONNOR is the current Deputy Headmaster, Head of Gryffindor and would have been a year underneath Harry at school. He was a bull-headed Gryffindor who would have been apart of Dumbledore's Army and fought against the Death Eaters in the war. All in all, he was a total Gryff - brave, stubborn, etc. He has been teaching at Hogwarts for 15 years now and I think that whilst he and Harry could have been acquaintances after the war (Harry was obviously a bit busy during), perhaps things have grown a little tense between them?
As Harry is Head Auror, he would be fielding letters from Jack constantly regarding the werewolf situation. Jack's pretty insistent that the Ministry is doing the wrong thing and I imagine this could very possibly rub Harry the wrong way? It's up to you, but let me tell you that there's been a lot of letters. Harry's fame wouldn't put him off approaching the man in the street either to give him a piece of his mind, although he would do it fairly calmly yet sternly over a butterbeer if Harry would let him.
Hey BREE! I think this could be an interesting thread. I wouldn't say that Harry has been ignoring Jack's letters, more like sticking them in a drawer and putting them off until later 😆. But seriously, I could see this starting two ways. Jack happens to see Harry and confronts him, then they can end up having a civilized conversation once their tempers damper or Harry accepts an invitation for drinks. Either is fine with me.
Heya! Sounds great with Jack and Harry! Definitely keen to get a thread started with them if you are? Maybe a letter thread to begin with if that's cool? I'm happy to start it tomorrow if you want, though totally feel free to start it sooner if you wish.
I've just read about Paxton too anndddd I've got a few people to throw at him as well.
@paxton - my boy GREYSON AVERY is in the same year (5th) and house and he loves to cause drama. He'd be keen for some pranks though his are probably a bit more mean-spirited than innocent. I'm quite certain he'd also try and convince Paxton to, uh... partake in some underage activities like drinking, smoking, etc. Whether he succeeds or not is up to you!
I've also got AGNES CLEARWATER in fifth year and Gryffindor. She'd definitely be eye rolling at Paxton's pranks because she's really a bit of a cynical, sarcastic kinda person... but if you're up for some banter, she'd definitely be happy to go back and forth with him.
VIOLA ROSALINE is a fourth year Ravenclaw who's a bit ditzy, flirty, and who would love to participate in some innocent pranks. She's pretty touchy feely so I daresay if they were friends, Vi would plop herself straight in Paxton's lap and give him a smooch on the cheek. She's very carefree, confident and easy-going as well with a weird sense of humour so they may get along?
I'm up for threads with any of these three with Paxton if you're interested. Just let me know!
If you don't mind to start a letter between Harry and Jack that would be great!
I can see Greyson being Paxton's bad influence. While he'd definitely have a smoke with him, he's never had a drink. He's afraid that once he starts he'll become an alcoholic. He has no self-control when it come to anything. Greyson could badger him about it. A few mean-spirited pranks are fine with him, though he does try to keep things from getting out of hand.
Agnes would be a great person for Pax to go out of his way to annoy. He's also very sarcastic, so the banter between them would be fun.
Viola sounds like the best fit for Pax. He would definitely be his goofy self around her. He's not against being touchy feely either, though he will have to hide is embarrassment. He's just starting to realize that girls can be fun. 😆
I'll start with a thread between Pax and Greyson if that's okay with you. I can start it this afternoon sometime.

@keely,
I will definitely start a Harry and Jack letter either tonight or tomorrow morning! I'm cool to do that.
Aaaand yay okay, I think that being roommates, Paxton will probably soon come to realise that Greyson is very self-destructive and he will peer pressure Paxton 100%. He'll call him a wuss if he thinks one drink will turn him into an alcoholic.
Vi loves to embarrass people by loading them up with compliments and love and she's definitely... not shy, like... at all. So Pax will have his hands full no doubt lmfao.
Yes, that would be wonderful @ a Pax and Grey thread! I'm happy for them to have a thread wherever. Thanks!
hobbies include angsty plots and giving characters increasingly complex slavic names

Hello @keely!
I'm Kasia, and while I don't have anyone to offer for Harry right now (unless you want him to write letters to my @roxanne?), I'm here to offer some characters to Paxton.
MIA-ROSE LINWOOD, a 5th year Slytherin, is my first thought for @paxton because they're in the same year and they're both so. competitive. Mia-Rose basically turns everything into a competition even if the other person doesn't realize it's a competition, but since they both have that sort of personality I wonder if they could create some sort of rivalry. Also, if she's his type at all, she would be very upset if she ever found out he was crushing on her. She is not into romance in the slightest and this would make her hate him very, very much. But of course, only if he actually would feel that way!
@roxanne, a 4th year Gryffindor, I have as a possibility for him because she is so fed up with her own cousin, @james, teasing her already, that she wouldn't be too friendly to another prankster hanging around the common room. I don't think she'd like him very much.
SKYLAR REID is a 4th year Hufflepuff who lost his parents over the summer and is having a really hard time with it. By nature he's pretty cheerful, but with his acting out sometimes I could see him enjoying taking pranks a little too far, if you wanted to make them friends!
Hello. I can't wait to figure out some plots. The only character I have that's close in age to @paxton is @charlotte , but that's because she died at age 15 when a werewolf attacked Hogwarts in 2016. She's now a ghost and Hufflepuff was her house. I have one Gryffindor, @melinda but she's a seventh year and also a vampire, so it depends on how he feels about them.
@aurelie is the same age as @harrypotter . She's French but ended up attending Hogwarts for all seven years because her parents decided to move to England in the summer of 1991, just before she would've been a first year. She was a Gryffindor too. I don't know if they would've been friends or ended up friends later on. She's against the Ministry's treatment of werewolves as well (her husband is one and her son was kicked out of Hogwarts because of it.) so not sure how things would be between them now. I'm up for anything. She's a good person who tries to help people whenever she can.
@paxton & @james : James is a year younger than he is, but they're in the same house and are pretty similar. They both love pulling pranks and getting into trouble. I can see them hitting it off and becoming friends, so long as he never showed too much interest in Harry.
@harrypotter & @james : He does love his father, even if he doesn't always act like it. His problems aren't with Harry; it's with his fame and feeling the pressure to live up to his dad's legacy, which he could never do. At this point, he wants to make a name for himself, finally being seen as James instead of just as Harry's son. I think they probably had a good relationship when James was younger, but not so much these days since he's so tired of hearing about how great his dad is.
Paxton would be in love with MIA-ROSE LINWOOD ! Secretly of course because when he sees her in public he can't help but sneer at her. Any girl that could be that competitive with him would definitely draw his attention.
For @roxanne he'd probably just give her shit, especially if Pax and James become friends. He doesn't really care whether people like him and he's harder on those that don't. Those are the prime targets for his pranks.
Pax lost his mum when he was six and his dad has been distant ever since. They could definitely relate over the death of their parents and Pax could be there if SKYLAR REID needed someone. He's definitely let him help with pranks to try and distract him from reality. That's what helped him through his tough moments.
@shay
Pax doesn't care about what people are. In his eyes as long as you're a nice person, who cares! The age difference between him and @melinda might be to much though unless she doesn't care to talk to younger students. As for @charlotte , they could always run into each other especially if Pax is out late at night after curfew.
Harry is catching a lot of grief from families about the ministry's new policy, and he can't blame them. He's not for the new regulations either but he's caught in a hard spot because of his job. Maybe she could catch up with him at a pub or something.. I'm not sure, my brain isn't working this morning.
@nina
Pax and @james would make a great pair. Paxton doesn't care one bit about fame or politics or who your parents are. As long as James is there when Pax needs him that's all that matters.
Harry and James is a tough one. Harry would understand that James hates the shadow he's living in, but Harry hates the fame just as much. He's been absent lately because of the stress at work, but he really wants to work on being a better father.
@paxton & @james : He will never abandon a friend in time of need, but he's more the type to make light of the situation, crack jokes, try to make them laugh instead of providing a shoulder to lean on.
