In 1929 Sirius Black I was elected as Minister for Magic. From that day forward, he made sure that the title stayed within the family line. Arcturus Black took over the title in 1968 and it was passed down to Orion Black in 1985. The Blacks run the magical world and, while purism hasn't hit extreme measures, there is clearly a discrepancy in the way people are treated. In 1996, while Orion is on his death bed, Sirius Black II has set up a campaign for Minister against his cousin, Bellatrix Black. Another person, not of the Black Family also ends up running, Tom Riddle. The Blacks end up losing out to Tom Riddle and by 2000 everything the Black family has built starts to crumble and the Wizarding War is on the brink of breaking. Also of note, Voldemort was at the height of his power in 1980. After the prophecy was made by Sybill Trelawney, however, he disappeared. The Death Eaters weren't sure why and nobody has heard of his whereabouts since. The Death Eaters continue their fight against muggles and muggleborns and the Ministry of Magic secretly backs them with untraceable funds, Orion being a true believer himself. The Death Eaters work in relative secrecy not bringing much attention to themselves and thus the previous formed Order of the Phoenix has fallen a part. There is no real war to fight. Life seems fine. Orion is not an overtly evil Minister of Magic. He treats everyone equally, or seems to. Differences The Blacks have been running the Ministry since 1929. Voldemort disappeared in 1980, so everyone grew up without the second war. Most characters who became orphans grew up with parents. And some characters who died went on to have families. Death Eaters still exist, but their fight is quiet so as not to attract attention to themselves. There are Proper Witches and Wizards and then everyone else. No one uses the phrase Muggleborn anymore because according to the Ministry they don't exist. Those people just aren't proper. Point of Divergence 1929, when Sirius Black I was elected Minister for Magic. The title stayed within the Black family, keeping purists in charge. The Wizarding War doesn't start until 2000, the Blacks against Tom Riddle. They won't take betrayal lightly. Characters |
