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!
The cold air was getting to Elijah was he had flown around the Quidditch pitch making up a plan to knock the Ravenclaw seeker out instead of defending his own (his bad, he thought his sister was protecting him) but instead he had watched his Seeker take two Bludgers at once and he was beyond pissed off. He sent a cold glare toward the Ravenclaw beater, and swore under his breath as he heard his sister shout for him to get the second Bludger as she hit one toward Casey Stevens. Two can play this game, Mavican. The male flew and had smacked the second Bludger heading straight toward Casey Stevens, and he looked toward her teammate when he shouted to warn the little seeker.
"Two can play this game, Jones." he muttered as he flew around to get close to the Ravenclaw seeker.

Casey had raced across the Quidditch pitch, toning the game out as she had searched the cold winter air for the golden snitch. This was one of the biggest games of the season and she wasn't going to let Gryffindor take their chances away from winning the cup this year. Last thing she wanted was to be more of a disappointment and she didn't want to let her team down, didn't want to let her older siblings down. The girl knew her brother was there watching her, writing down every detail to write to their mother and other siblings later. Jonah always recorded her every move when they're not playing against each other.
Casey was seated up in the air as her eyes had scanned the area and watched as the Gryffindor seeker had dodged, and dodged again as Mavican had smacked the Bludgers toward him. She had watched as she she went at him again, and this time she succeeded to knock his ass off his broom and Casey had let out a whoop to cheer her on. The celebration was short lived when she heard Emil warn her that the Gryffindor beaters were going to go after her next and she eyed as two of the Bludgers headed straight for her.
"Son of a ..." she ducked as one came closer, and she moved upward before she felt something hit her shin, making her shout out in pain and grip onto her broom.
She continued to fly around, biting her lip.
This was going to be a nightmare.
Her own girlfriend had put a target on her back. Two targets.
She flew right toward Mavican, sending her a look and she flew passed her. "Cover my ass!"

Well shit. She didn't think she would actually succeed in knocking the dude off his broom. She had expected more of the Gryffindor team, their seekers and beaters alike but the moment she heard Emil shout to Casey she knew she was screwed in a way she didn't enjoy. Casey was a target now and Mavican was too late to smack a bludger out of her way.
"Shit sorry!" she said and smacked a bludger at Elijah and another at a random Gryffindor player. "Fuck I'm sorry! I'll cover you as much as I can!" she told her and flew off with her bat firm in her hand. "Come on, Young! Let's see who has the best hitting arm!" she told Elijah and flew past him.
Levi watched from his spot in front of the hoops when he seen the bulger hit Matthew right off his broom. Levi made a wincing face and sighed, this game was going to go on for a while and it was going to screw up their chances of winning if Ravenclaw's seeker got the snitch. Levi flew and grabbed the quaffle from the ground before throwing it towards Leo Jordan and hoping that he caught the quaffle, Levi flew back to his post and continued to watch the game around him, he saw the bulger going towards Casey the other teams seeker and he was hoping that she didn't find the snitch, he also heard Emil yell to his team mate and Levi kept his eye on the game in front of him.

The quaffle that Matheus had thrown was swiftly blocked by a younger player, though he didn't know her name. Matheus made zero effort to converse with kids who looked around his brother Nico's age 'cause why would he?
Out of the corner of his eye, Matheus noticed bludger after bludger smacked towards Matthew and shit, man. Mavican was being brutal today, using the 'take them the f out' strategy which... unfortunately didn't work in Gryffindors favour. Where the hell were Ryker and Elijah? "MERDA! COME ON! GET YOUR HEADS IN THE GAME!" he hollered at the twins.
The next thing he knew, a bludger was being hit at him and Matheus swerved his broom, the ball whizzing straight past his ear. He wasn't getting taken out by a bludger day, not today. He watched as Levi, their keeper, lobbed the quaffle towards Leo. 'C'mon, man. Catch this thing,' he thought, before moving back towards the mid-field, just in case Leo got trapped and needed someone to throw it towards.
He had missed his shot as evidenced by the crowd's screaming and the calls of the opposing team's players. There will be other chances. He'd go at that hoop until he'd make a score, and then another, and another, until the game was won. There was just one small problem -- his face was aching something fierce. He decided to retreat, to watch the game from above and step in when he'd deem it necessary.
Everything was happening at wild speeds. Bludgers howling through the air, directed at anyone and everyone who had a broom between their legs, the cheering of the crowd as EMIL ZALEWSKI scored for Ravenclaw, and the awful thud of not one, but both Bludgers crashing right into the Gryffindor seeker, sending him plummeting down to the ground. It looked painful, but then again, they had this game in the bag.
Somehow Wolfgang had ended up nearby MATHEUS DELGADO, who was passing a Quaffle to his teammate @leo. It was a long pass and Wolfgang used the opportunity to swoop down and grab it, tucking it between his chest and arm and flying away as fast as his broom could take him. His eyes searched around for his teammates, wanting to ditch the ball as soon as he could, before any Beaters could take their frustrations out on him. Thankfully, Emil was within reach.
"Emil! Pass!" Wolfgang yelled in the direction of the other Ravenclaw and threw the Quaffle at the other chaser.

Having warned their Seeker of the other team's plan, Emil wheeled back around, heading for the middle of the pitch again. The Gryffindor Chasers were tossing the ball back and forth, and Emil hovered in front of them, waiting for a chance to block a pass. But while he couldn't quite get an opening to grab the Quaffle, he grinned as Wolfgang swooped in from somewhere far above, grabbing the ball mid-pass. Surprise! Emil pushed his broom forward, hoping to get over to Gryffindor's hoops before the rest of their Chasers could block anything. Then he'd only have to deal with Levi, leaving him open to take the pass from Wolfgang.
He turned his head back as he flew, hoping to catch a glimpse of Wolfgang's position so he could see the ball being thrown. Wolfgang was a fast flier--Emil always did his best, but he had only a school broom, as his parents had very little idea of what a broomstick was, and he could never quite beat the other Chaser in speed. But, hearing his name called, he readied a hand, watching the Quaffle soar over Matheus's head to reach him. Emil tucked the ball under his arm as he headed for the goalposts once more.
It wasn't quite as quick as he had hoped, because he was fairly sure the Gryffindor team already had their eyes on him, so he called out to the other Chaser to get into position near the goalposts. He passed the Quaffle and flew to the opposite side of the scoring area, hoping his teammate would understand what kind of play he was trying to make...
...and yes! The Quaffle was sent back into Emil's hands, hopefully faster than Levi could fly. It was impossible to tell if it would be fast enough, but Emil tossed the ball toward the hoops without a second thought, crossing his fingers for another goal.
Levi watched as the game around him was definitely getting intense. It was a good game but it would have been better if he was watching from the crowd and not actually playing, but he was going to help his team get points even if his main goal was to keep the quaffle any Ravenclaw chaser threw at him was blocked and not actually making it through the hoops. Now that Matthew Cartwright was out of the game, his team needed to gain as many points as they could in case Matthew decided to come back and join them. He had been one of the people who tried out for seeker but took the keeper spot instead since he was quick enough. Levi watched as two chasers from Ravenclaw were headed towards him fast. Levi kept his eyes on the two of them and when Emil made the choice to throw the Quaffle towards him, he flew as fast as he could to block the Quaffle from going in.
He blocked it! Levi had managed to catch the Quaffle right before I went through the hoop, Levi smirked before throwing it towards his teammate Matheus.
She was trying here but luck wasn't on Ryker's side as she hit a bludger towards one of the Ravenclaw chasers. They were fast and somehow their own weren't fast enough, like no one was fast enough. The girl heard Matheus shout and she just turned her head. "Ayreh Feek!" she was trying her best here and all she got was bitching and moaning. If their seeker wasn't such a doofus maybe he would be still in the bloody air in the first place!
Ryker noticed that Mavican was going for a bludger again and she countered by hitting it first. "Try again sweetheart." she growled at her. "Bite me Young." she got in return before they both sped off.

Matheus ignored whatever the hell Ryker had shouted back at him, no doubt a swear in her second language, just as Matheus had sworn at her in his first language. Her speaking Egyptian was something he'd heard several times over the past six years in school with her and normally he'd think it was hot, but in this case? Well... still kinda hot, but not enough to stop him in his tracks.
When Levi blocked the Quaffle yet again and threw it towards him, Matheus took his chance with the ball cradled in his arms, flying in the direction of the Ravenclaw goals. Once he was close enough, he threw it towards the left goal post, praying that it got in this time. Ravenclaw was already ten points up on them, and they were minus a seeker.
TDLR: NPCing the third ravenclaw chaser -- blocking matheus
evades bludger
gets in gryf. beaters way (you decide)
Talks to mavican
Emil caught Wolfgang's pass and the chaser watched his two teammates hurry towards the hoops, passing the ball to one another before attempting to score. Tough luck -- the Gryffindor Keeper reached the ball in time, hitting it right back to Matheus. Goddamnit, they were back on square one.
He pressed on his broom, heading towards Matheus to intercept any passes, on the way doing a full loop in the air to evade a Bludger. He loathed the noise the charmed balls made, it was grating and always made it hard to concentrate, today even more than usual...
Then he had an idea.
He waved at the third Ravenclaw chaser and they exchanged spots, the other player was left to block Matheus and Wolfgang retreated. He had to find the Ravenclaw beaters.
Come on, where are you... He silently cursed to himself. His jaw pain had turned into a full scale headache, and he didn't know how long he could keep playing -- and the game hadn't even lasted ten minutes. They had to finish it quickly.
On his way towards MAVICAN JONEShe whizzed past one of the Gryffindor beaters, getting as close as he could without crashing into them, hoping to confuse them for at least a second. He didn't linger, as he had no desire to get a bat to the back of his skull -- there was enough head trauma on his plate as is.
Then he pressed his broom to hurry. Once he'd reached Mavican, he quickly stated -"Take out the keeper!" - and returned back to the other chasers.

Another Quidditch game for the year but this time, Sally was not as pumped and she knew exactly why. She wanted to be out there on a broom, whacking bludgers at every joker (a.k.a. Cooper Narro) who looked at her the wrong way. She wanted to kick some arse and she couldn't exactly do that from the stands. So she settled for the next best thing which was wearing a stolen Gryffindor scarf from her big brother Leo, gripping the side of the podium as she leaned forward and shouted, "MAKE THE JORDANS PROUD, LEO, I SWEAR IF YOU DON'T WIN AND I DIE THEN I'M GONNA HAUNT YOU FOREVER. YOU WILL NEVER LIVE LOSING DOWN."
Was it a bit much? Probably. But heck, she wanted to watch her biggest brother win his first game of the year. Mainly 'cause then he'd face off against Hufflepuff at some point and she could take him out in a very sisterly way with a well-timed bludger and some finger guns. Then she'd prove to everyone that she really was the most badass of the Jordan siblings!
