| overall premise; |
It is the year 2001, and the Wizarding World has been free of the influences of Lord Voldemort for three years. Free, as far as they know. Many believed that Lord Voldemort had been killed at the Battle of Hogwarts, when he attempted to use the Elder Wand on Harry Potter and was rebuffed. The Wizarding World has lived with the safety of this belief for years. But they're about to find out that they're not as safe as they believe.
What no one in the Wizarding world knew was that Voldemort, aware that his Horcruxes were being hunted and destroyed, used the death of Severus Snape to create one last Horcrux. No one but he knows what the Horcrux looked like, and immediately upon its creation he hid it as best he could. Upon his believed death at the end of the Battle of Hogwarts, Voldemort was turned yet again into a roaming, bodyless soul. But this time, his Death Eaters were prepared. Aware of the newly created Horcrux (but not its appearance), Rabastan Lestrange immediately ordered his fellow Death Eaters to flee Hogwarts. The remaining Death Eaters gathered in Bulgaria, a country they considered a safe haven, and began their plans to resurrect their fallen Lord.
Now, rumors of darkness have begun to spread again. Rumors that involve dark magical acts being performed in Bulgaria, a sudden increase in the number of werewolf attacks, and the disturbing disappearance of the family of a young Muggleborn wizard. But there is one rumor that is even more worrisome. The rumor of a hunt for an object once thought to be only a myth. Because Lord Voldemort knows that with his diminished power, he cannot rise to take over the Wizarding World on his own. And with the loss of the Sorcerer's Stone, he has only one hope. An object rumoured to contain evils the world has never seen before. And object he hopes will turn the tides in his favor yet again. An object known as Pandora's Box. |

| pandora's box; |
According to mythology, Pandora's Box was a gift to Pandora by Zeus, who instructed her never to open it. Unfortunately, Pandora was also gifted with curiosity, and ultimately gave in to her desires and opened the box. As the stories go, by opening the box, Pandora released all of the evils, ills and diseases that humankind had previously not known. It is said that at the bottom of the box was also hope. Upon seeing what was inside the box, Pandora immediately closed it. And that was supposedly the end of the tale.
But the myths are not entirely true, or so the rumors say. Perhaps, Pandora's Box wasn't quite empty when she closed it. Perhaps it still contains powerful diseases, illnesses and evils that, while not as strong as those originally released, are still powerful enough to cause potent damage. It is this potential pain that has caused the darkest wizard in human history to seek out the box in the hopes of using its contents to further his gains of taking over the wizarding world.
Whether the box contains evil or not, one thing is certain. The Order of the Phoenix cannot let Lord Voldemort find it. |
