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?

HISTORY
First we have Estellise at the age of four when she’s taken to primary school by her parents, already trying to reason her way with the teacher only to be told to play nice with the other kids. The one kid she decides to play with was apparently the one not having any friends due to him liking to read more instead of fingerpaint, only for her to start writing or something that passes for writing with fingerpaint.
Next we have Estellise around 9 or ten, knowing she’s a witch due to accidental magic and her parents telling her she is, trying to figure out how to trigger accidental magic on command and making it do as she wishes. Turning out to be a very bad idea as she set her bed on fire with it after getting frustrated that it wouldn’t work before that. Only having her with mom at home at the time saved her room and the house from going up in smoke.
Finally we have Estellise on the train to Hogwarts in her first year spending most if not all of the trip alone because she couldn’t get her thoughts away from all the magic she would learn and in doing so giving weird or odd answers to anyone trying to connect with her.
PLAYER
RP Alias:Galen Pronouns: He/him Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff Other Characters: @richard @lucy @aurora @jonathan @rowena @celeste Roleplay example: He was ready to admit being late, he was ready to be looked at weird for just saying something like that outright with other people present, he was ready for a lot of things. Having the compliment more or less returned to him was not something he was prepared for. Almost stuttering on a reply he looked over to Ariella, of course knowing her. ’’I do know Arielle by her looks and name Flora.’’ He would have kissed the back of her hand trying to come over as pleasant as possible, but he didn’t know if it would seem silly or not, which is why he stuck to what he hoped was a charming smile. ’’Pleasure to make your acquaintance seeing as we haven’t had a chance or reason to speak yet Arielle. I might borrow you for a dance tonight if I’m not too busy leading Flora across the room.’’ The last bit was added with a wink, not that he got any further than that.
A loud BANG sounded and his ears kept ringing.
Everything went to hell in a handbasket if you asked him what was going on, that would’ve been his answer. Vaguely being aware that he was being pulled by his suit closer to where Flora had been before he couldn’t see anymore. Covering her and Arielle as good as he could he felt a few things hit him, slice him or effect him in general. That along with trying to make sense of the sounds, the ringing of the explosion still playing with his ears. A cold stinging sensation travelled up his ribs and he could feel something warm seep into his clothes along with pain while breathing, while that was going on he could hear Flora say she couldn’t see anything, to which he disagreed. He saw stars lots of stars. Not the exploding spellfire kind of stars either.
His left leg couldn’t support his weight anymore and he wondered what had happened to it, only to find that thinking made the stars in his eyes worse. Taking a firm hold of his wand he couldn’t help bit drag Flora with him as he started falling. Her voice was hoarse as she said she didn’t have her wand. His mind registering that Arielle was trying to light her own wand , followed by murmurs, or so it sounded to Richard he tried to speak up himself. His voice broken and clearly in pain he managed to get a few words out. ’’Flora, I’m not going to be able to help, I got hit, by what I don’t really know. Take my wand and keep the two of you safe…you were the reason I came anyway. Glad I managed to protect the girl I like.’’
Richard forced with his last willpower his hand against Flora’s, in doing so he hoped she’d take hold of the wand that was in his own hand. If anyone asked him what he had said to her he hoped he got it right and that he hadn’t said anything stupid, or too much. His consciousness left him with somewhat of a smile on his lips, making him feel he at least had accomplished something that night. Keeping the girl he secretly liked safe.
