The year is 2022, the dark lord Voldemort is gone, never to return, and the fact that history could repeat itself is the least of everyone's worry. Even so, when those who witnessed the fall off Tom Marvolo Riddle found out about what was going on at Hogwarts, it seemed like only a childish prank. But when no one could figure out how to reverse it, it proved to be a much bigger problem than anyone could have predicted.
What seems to be happening is randomly throughout the year is unsuspecting students have been receiving "gifts" from an unknown source, usually consisting of food or drink though not always. Students, being the teenagers that they are, are flattered that someone would send them such things. What seems to be happening is when students eat, drink, or use these items a powerful love potion or powder (depending on what was sent) is released. The effects take shape almost immediately, and the first person they see (whether it be enemy, friend, relative) they automatically fall hard for.
Summer before the 2022-2023 school year, Headmaster Braydon Gallagher decided to issue a rule that all students attending Hogwarts were required to keep a journal, which unless hexed against certain people would be visible to all. Little did he know, this would be a key point in the- some would call it- pandemic to come. It seemed to be almost as if the students were Dreaming Out Loud.
