In 2003, Voldemort and his forces won the war against England. England was the last in a series of countries to fall to the Dark Lord, its populace overwhelmed by swift and furious attack. However, the victory won, while brutal, was not expected by the Light. Those of pure blood and willing to swear allegiance were able to resume lives close to normal. It was only the ones who continued to fight who suffered the brunt of his will as society began to shift towards a police state, with the Death Eaters at its helm.
But the loss of freedom was worth it to many, who thought it was a fair trade for the security that it brought. In 2008, as muggles are beginning to be eliminated through sterilization, reeducation and manipulation, there are many who remain unaware or who deliberately choose to ignore the world being constructed around them.
But there are those who cannot.
A small group of Resistance fighters has formed. Led by those who managed to evade capture or escape the wizarding prison of Azkaban, this group fights a slow war amongst the people of London, trying to build support against a government that has sworn itself a threat to all who oppose it. The Aurors have changed into a force to battle what the Dark Lord considers dissent, striking at the few individuals it can find.
Which side will you fight for?
