It's the year 1997, and Harry Potter, along with his inseparable friends, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, are in their seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Potter family is still intact, as is the Weasley and the Granger, and none of them have had the name “Lord Voldemort,” ever stain their ears. Yet. Tensions in the wizarding world are on the rise, and people are slowly disappearing, never to be seen again. But this isn't really all that strange, is it? No… since only a few have disappeared, after all. It could have been an unexpected invite to the countryside. Or perhaps they left on their own accord? Prestigious families... The Malfoys, the Carrows, the Blacks, the Lestranges, have all been acting strangely, almost secretive these past few months. Some whisper that a Dark Lord is rising, and that he plans to rid the world of its filth and impurities. But something of that magnitude is simply preposterous. A dark wizard? This is reality, not some story told out of a children book. There hasn't been a serious dark wizard in ages, let alone one that has ever been successful.

… Right?
