 PREMISE | RULES | CHARACTERS | APPLICATION On 2nd May 1998, Harry Potter defeated Lord Voldemort once and for all. To the citizens of Wizarding Britain, this meant one thing: finally, they were free. Although a few, isolated cells of Death Eaters continued to chase the Dark Lord’s mission, they floundered without the leadership of their Lord and Bellatrix Lestrange, and they all quickly found themselves imprisoned, with the exception of Severus Snape, who barely survived the Dark Lord’s attempt on his life and proved to be Dumbledore’s man, through and through. The war ripped families apart – the Weasleys, so pleased to welcome the repentant Percy back into the fold, were quickly forced to mourn Arthur’s death; and Remus Lupin was left a single father following the death of his wife – and the sudden deaths of many left people shocked and awed, but, under the guidance of new Minister for Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Wizarding Britain was allowed to gather and rebuild. Strides were made in the names of equality, tolerance, civil liberties, and interpersonal harmony, and said efforts have been generally regarded as successful. It is now 2002 and the Wizarding world has been at peace for four years. Life is prosperous, people are happy, families are rebuilding, and under new legislation passed by Minister Shacklebolt, marginalized minorities, such as werewolves, are now treated as equals to non-werewolf witches and wizards, provided they obey the law and show up for their required annual check-ups. Everything was lovely. This is where the Department of Mysteries comes into the picture. As they were wont to do, the employees in the Department of Mysteries were experimenting and something went awry with one of their spells. There was no great flash of light and there were no explosions. By all appearances, nothing at all happened with the experiment that was wrong in anyway, but something did happen and, slowly, it’s becoming much more evident. As the fourth year of peace winds down, the young men of Wizarding Britain are all finding themselves drawn away from the relationships they know well – and to each other instead. Queer Magic is an all male slash Harry Potter game. We are mostly canon-compliant through and including events of Deathly Hallows, but we have discounted select deaths. Our canon does not include the epilogue. |
