The time is 5 years after the defeat of Lord Voldemort. The year is 2003.

Six weeks ago, certain known followers of Voldemort broke into the Ministry of Magic and attempted to use the Veil in the Department of Mysteries to bring their fallen Dark Lord back to life. Amycus Carrow, after years of searching the Forbidden Forest, finally found the Resurrection Stone. After trying dozens of unsuccessful ways to resurrect the dead, he figured if he tossed it into the mysterious Veil, the ones that wandered beyond it would benefit from it's power and once again be alive and able to regain their lives in the Wizarding World. Little did he know, it would bring the elimination of 99.9% of people in the entire world.

When he tossed the stone into the Veil, nothing seemed to happen at first, but then, within a few minutes, a yellow fog emanated from the curtain. It was sparse at first, but grew thick and heavy in no time. As soon as the fog touched him, he vanished, as well as the people who were with him. They tried to run from it, but it was growing at such an alarming rate, it was unavoidable.

The fog grew bigger and moved faster as each second passed, and soon it took out the entire inhabitants of London, of England, The United Kingdom, Europe, America, Africa, everywhere. Both Muggles and the Wizarding folk were included in the now disappeared. Then, as quickly as the fog started, it began retreating, and within twelve hours from when it all started, it was gone, just like every living, breathing person in the world. Everyone was gone. Everyone, except for the fifty eight survivors. Animals were not affected by this virus.

As luck would have it, every witch or wizard who was apparating to or from London, at the exact time the viral fog was released, were not harmed. They were suspended in oblivion, or time, for the duration of the incident, and then, like nothing happened, arrived at their destination, unknowing of anything that had just occurred. They had no clue any time had lapsed. All of the buildings stood where they were, everything was in it's exact place, there were just no people around. It didn't take long for the survivors to figure out something catastrophic had happened.

Among the survivors was one Arthur Weasley, who will now be appointed Minister Of Magic. After he figured out something was terribly wrong when he arrived at the Ministry and was alone there, and searched the streets, his home in Ottery St. Catchpole and everywhere else he could think of. He then returned to the Ministry and used an advanced version of the Sonorus spell to make his voice loud enough for all survivors to hear, asking them all to send an owl with parchment, letting the Ministry know who was still out there and then to Immediately apparate to Hogwarts and stay there. He received 50 responses by owl and was happy to find out there were 7 others in the Ministry with him; Alecto Carrow, Aberforth Dumbledore, Rabastan Lestrange, Narcissa Malfoy, Mr. Ollivander, Rita Skeeter and Sybill Trelawney. These 8 make up the new Ministry of Magic, and will be making the rules for the surviving witches and wizards. The survivors are going to have to work on repopulating their world so they don't die out. They are going to be given two months to find themselves a suitable pairing and if one is not selected by the end of the time period, a mate will be chosen for them. They absolutely cannot leave Hogwarts. They are quarantined until further notice.
*UPDATE*
All survivors are now allowed to select a home in Hogsmeade with their spouses and soon to be's. The Ministry has assigned all of the pairs and they MUST be married by the 31st of December. Characters are also allowed to open up shop in Hogsmeade. Excellent chance for character development! Will they get along? Will they hate each other?
