the dark wizard era ended in 1998...[/size]
fourteen years ago, the infamous lord voldemort was terminated for good. completely exterminated. his dark ways could no longer keep the wizarding world petrified to walk the streets. he could no longer persecute mudbloods or force his followers to ensue havoc upon the people of the wizarding world. since the battle of hogwarts, the school has ben restored and the witches and wizards have had time to heal. they have had time to fix their lives and go about living them normally. the danger was gone. they were safe now. and they have been that way for the past fourteen years. the various bloodtypes have lived peacefully among one and other with hardly any conflicts. the species realized that their fueds were mostly because of what the dark lord had started. well, the goblins still think the dark lord was right, but whatever. for fourteen years the world was safe. even the humans. the dementors were put back in their place at azkaban. remaining death eaters were locked up in azkaban along side them. the order of the phoenix disbanded for quite sometime, simply because the world was rid of evil.
in 2011, students caught wind of an old society within hogwarts called dumbledore's army. they had learned a lot about albus dumbledore, the former headmaster, and all the great things he had done. however, they had never known about the army. a friend of a friend of harry potter's friend learned about the 'army' and brought the word to hogwarts. a few students thought it would be fun just to gather with a few people in the room of requirement and practice extra defenses. purely for fun. however, one morning the great hall went up in flames, and the only thing a few witnesses saw where figures in black cloaks, originally thought to be death eaters. but they knew better, because the death eaters were long since gone. the newly reformed 'army' decided they should start some serious training, and formed a fairly large group of students from most of the houses. they trained privately and quietly, as to not be found out. after a polyjuice potion incident, one of the gryffindor students over heard a few slytherins talking about a group called the serpent hatchlings. at first, they didn't think much of it, but when the whomping willow was vandalized, they realized exactly what the serpent hatchlings were up to.
a year later, things have been quiet. dumbledore's army has been secretly working and training. the hatchlings had been forgotten because they hadn't been active since the willow incident. everyone just assumes they were a bunch of kids fooling around. however, the teachers and students aren't oblivious. suddently, the daily prophet newspaper is becoming cryptic. the ministry isn't providing much information. and the horizon always seems to be a little too cloudy, like a storm is brewing in the distance. however, the storm has yet to come. and on some days, the sky seems a little too green, as if a tornado were approaching. but that's just unnatural. witches, wizards, and muggles alike are feeling uneasy. afraid. it's starting to feel like the very first time voldemort came to power. to's starting to feel like something wicked is coming. something terrible. there's no proof. but the signs are there. there's a war on it's way, and it's starting in the roots of hogwarts.
