The Wizarding World is more peaceful than it ever has been since before Lord Voldemort's first rise to power. It has had twenty-five years to heal and rebuild. Instead of preparing for a war that has been looming over their heads for years or hunting for pieces of a damaged soul, the students of Hogwarts have the chance to do what many of their parents missed out on -- being normal.
They're loving and hating every minute of their adolescence like a proper bonds that will last a lifetime. They're busy doing important things like studying for N.E.W.T.s, having parties, playing Quidditch, visiting Hogmeade, using Nosebleed Nougats to get out of class, attending school events, participating in clubs, smuggling in Wild-Fire Whiz-Bangs, and sneaking around the castle in the dead of night.
The year is 2023, Albus Potter's seventh and final year, and things are finally normal... well, as normal as they can be at Hogwarts. Because really, how normal are the enchanted Chocolate Frogs that end up in the girl's dormitory in the middle of the night or the missing bones in Rose's hand from a dueling gone wrong?

WITH YET GREATER REASON

"A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen."

KEEP CALM AND PUT THE KETTLE ON.
For nearly three generations, the wizarding world has been under the control of one madman or another; first under Grindewald and then under Voldemort. By the end of the second war in 1998, the wizarding world is ready for peace. Witches and wizards watch in satisfaction as the purebloods and their allies are put on trial and sentenced, it feels like the closing of a century of violence. Once again, wizards are willing to pick up the pieces and move forward.
The long arduous task of recovery and rebuilding begins and the people elect Amos Diggory to the post of Minister by a landslide. They see a stable future in the promises of the man who lost his only son as one of the first casualties of the second war. He is charismatic and persuasive, using strongly worded speeches and cleverly hidden reminders about his son to secure his place in the Ministry.
It doesn’t happen overnight. The rebuilding and prosperity happen, slowly but surely. Every where someone looks, signs of a wizarding world in recovery is seen. New shoppes, new buildings, enormous growth. It comes with a price, more than anyone realizes because it happens slowly. A new law here, a tweak there. Soon, purebloods are being treated no better than slaves and the wands of everyone are being tracked magically by the Ministry. What began innocently enough has now taken the freedoms of witches and wizards.
Exactly who is in control?
