The Plot - Cannon through Deathly Hallows
It is August 20, 1998. The dark lord has been destroyed by Harry Potter and the wizarding world rejoiced. The end of the war brought change to the wizarding world, mostly for the better. People, especially muggle borns, no longer live in fear. The ministry has been thoroughly cleaned and is up and running, making themselves ready for elections in the spring.
The death eaters have been rounded up and some sent to prison but others who claimed to be Imperiused or coerced into service have been released with a pardon and a show of goodwill towards all men. Rodolphus Lestrange at the loss of his wife, claimed the imperius curse and is now working to serve the ministry to prove what he can do for society. He stepped into the political arena speaking for the unity of the wizarding world and has become quite popular with his show of intellect and concern for its well-being. Things are not always as they seem. Now that he has won the title of Minister of Magic, changes are coming.
After the final battle of Hogwarts, many parents complained to the Ministry Department of Education. Their children did not graduate, nor did they complete exams or get a proper education. There was talk of boycotting the school, forcing it to close. The ministry, and new headmistress, Minerva McGonagal, came up with a plan. They would offer an 8th year to those who should have finished to see that they could get a proper year of schooling and complete everything they needed to. They would have extra liberties as they would be of age as well. Most parents responded favorably and have agreed to send their children to finish the year properly. For those who could not attend, it is also their chance to make up for what they had lost, welcomed back with open arms and an apology from the school and the ministry.
Everything seems to be going well, but good and evil do go hand in hand and there are forces at work both at Hogwarts and in the Ministry as the dark side tries to reclaim power over the wizarding world. It is often difficult to see who is on what side, but the dark lord's fellowship is alive and well, building up enough momentum until they can rise again.

Everyone knows what happened the night Harry Potter and five other students fled Hogwarts to do battle at the Ministry of Magic. That was the night Sirius Black died, the night the Prophecy was destroyed, and the night the Ministry finally admitted that Voldemort had returned.
But something else happened that night, something the Ministry never released. Many of the rooms in the Department of Mysteries were damaged, but the Time Turner room was completely destroyed.
1 July 1996. Exactly one week after that fateful night at the Ministry, a stranger arrives in the Department of Mysteries claiming to be from 24 February 1980. Only after Albus Dumbledore interviews this stranger do they realise that this was the night the Prophecy was made.
With each day that passes, more people arrive, some who have been dead for the past sixteen years. No one can explain it, and no one can stop it. All they can do is wait and see who is next to arrive while they prepare to fight the war of their lives.

~*~“Evolution is not a force, but a process. Not a cause, but a law.” (John Morley)~*~
For years man has been evolving, quietly and subtly, on the periphery of human awareness. In recent years these evolutionary mutations have taken on more extravagant and dangerous forms, attracting the attention of homo-sapiens. The humans do not like what they see. To make matter worse, many of these mutants have turned to villainy, terrorizing the public and affirming the fear and hatred towards mutants harbored by human race. Reactionary measures have been taken, most notably in America and Great Britain, requiring mutants to register with the governments.
Mutant organizations, some for good and some for evil, have sprung up all over the planet. In response to the growing threat of super-powered villains, the American S.H.I.E.L.D. organization has taken the initiative to produce the first government sanctioned “super-hero” the Avengers. Meanwhile, despite mounting public distrust, philanthropist Charles Xavier continues his efforts towards peaceful mutant-human relations with his X-Men and his school for young mutants in Westchester, New York. At the Muir Island research facility a subsidiary of the X-Men team has been formed by geneticist Moira MacTaggert, calling itself Excalibur. In contrast to these “heroes” the mutant called Magneto, disillusioned with an intolerant majority, has built the island haven of Genosha and formed the “activist” Brotherhood of Mutants. More groups are formed all the time, from devious government factions to would-be champions. Many mutants choose no affiliation, fighting the system as lone rebels or staying hidden in the shadows. In this politically and socially precarious world, how will you choose to live your life?

 Twenty two miles to the north of London lies Hogwarts School for Boys and Girls, one of the finest schools England has to offer. For years, the social and financial elite have sent their children to Hogwarts, a school comparable to Eton. Excellence is the ultimate goal of Hogwarts, making them leaders in academics, arts, music, theater and especially sports.
In more recent years, specifically under Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Hogwarts School has made strides to diversify its student population. Scholarships were set up and in just ten years Hogwarts had become a much more diverse place of learning. The entrance exam and interview were still stringent, even for an eleven year old, and Hogwarts still was a school for the cream of the crop of the UK and Ireland. After acceptable entrance marks, applicants meet with the Headmaster or Headmistress and the heads of the Hogwarts Houses to determine a house match.
Rigorous academics, sports and all aside, Hogwarts is a school like any other, full of teenagers. Gossip, rumors and weekend debauchery happen, and with some big names and big money at the school, it can happen on a very grand scale. There is no Voldemort, no Death Eaters, and the only war now is being waged in the Middle East. Hogwarts Academy is simply a school full of children preparing for university.
Characters at Hogwarts Academy are based off of the Marauder Era characters of Harry Potter, but twisted, tweaked and updated to the present day. For example, the Black in the books family were "practically royalty" among the purebloods. Well, nothing much has changed: Sirius and his family are among the old English aristocracy, and all of them are in line for the throne. Professional Quidditch players are distributed among the sports, and are the all-star athletes of the team. Purebloods can be best equated with old money families, and Muggle Borns are likely scholarship students, are have no legacy preceding them at Hogwarts Academy.GAME TO BEGIN JULY 6
