What's happenin'
Plot
General:
In 2008 it has been ten years since the battle at Hogwarts and there is a whole new group at Hogwarts. Minerva McGonagall is headmistress, Aurora Sinistra is head of Gryffindor house, Pomona Sprout is still head of Hufflepuff house, Filius Flitwick is head of Ravenclaw, and Horace Slughorn is head of Slytherin house.
Wizarding World:
The wizarding world is still getting on it's feet after the Voldemort ordeal. A great amount of people were killed so it's a touchy subject with most people. The ministry has been revamped and many of the old workers were fired because of being corrupt. But as always in the way of the government, with power comes corruption. Since Voldemort was defeated an issue has arisen; more muggles have figured out about the wizarding world. In turn, wizards have become more secretive and prejudical against muggles. Many wizards worry it will become a civil rights issue in the future if more muggles gain knowledge of wizarding world existence.
Hogwarts:
In Hogwarts, the stereotype towards Slytherins has faded. Within the last ten years all houses have won the house cup at least once so all houses are very adamant towards achieving it again. The sorting hat reminds the students year after year of past ordeals and how they have been overcome. It also implies how important each house is, no matter whether a founder had a skewed view of purebloods. McGonagall is a very fair Head Mistress but still has an affinity towards Gryffindor. However, instead of students being against mudbloods or halfbloods they are against muggles and squibs of any kind.

*Arcturus Harper is a Slytherin alumni, mentioned in the book as a quidditch replacement. He is a very good teacher but very strict about homework, he expects the best out of his students and lets it be known. He is young and good looking for a teacher, one of two new, younger teachers in Hogwarts. He doesn't really interact with the students but he often times has lunch with Slughorn.
**Romilda Vane is a Gryffindor alumni, mentioned in the books for being obsessive with Harry Potter. She surprised people by coming to be a teacher and is actually an okay teacher. She only has problems with boys in her class not paying attention to her and instead gaping at her since they don't have another young woman teacher to gape at. She seems to be scatter-brained and not completely organized but she is still pretty good at getting her points across and actually teaching. But it's also obvious that McGonagall isn't completely pleased with Romilda taking her old post, but no one else wanted the post so it was a made decision. Though she's grown accustomed to her being in the post and she was also surprised at how well the kids learn with Romilda as a teacher.
Basis of this Roleplay:
We want to play Hogwarts as if we were there today. We want a lot of character depth and interaction. We added some of the above issues for some depth, but the main point of the rp is to play it as if we were there today so if you don't use those "issues" then don't worry about it.
