The Plot
[/size][/b][/u][/color]Written by:

The families that were once powerful are quickly discovering that power isn't everything, and they may be quickly consumed by it. The families that were once loyal to fighting against Voldemort are now fighting with him, and the struggle to find loyal Order Members is growing increasingly harder. The return of the dark wizard that once instilled fear into the hearts of millions is eminent, and even though the fight with Harry Potter left him weak and vulnerable, he is now stronger than ever. He also has the support of many powerful wizards, and rumor has it that he even has the support of some Ministry Officials, though the most notable and terrifying supporter is the Minister of Magic himself, Brenner Joshua Alden, though that is still a rumor as of now.[/b][/blockquote][/size]
After the fight with Lord Voldemort, many wizards and witches, as well as muggles, were left injured and the whole magical community was considerably weakened, and the Ministry of Magic, then under Rufus Scrimgeour, feared that students would not be safe if they were allowed to return to Hogwarts. So, he ordered that all wizards and witches go into hiding, disguising themselves as muggles and giving up magic to live in the muggle world. However, after two years of being incognito, Rufus Scrimgeour was impeached as Minister of Magic, replaced with Kellen Joseph Alden. Kellen urged everyone to come out of hiding and fight, for he said that cowards did not make history, nor did they make heroes, just disappointments. So enraptured with Kellen's public speaking abilities, a majority of the magical community returned, though some families opted to stay in the muggle world.
Almost as soon as the magical community earned back some of its stability, those still loyal to the Dark Lord attacked, sending the magical community back into a state of distress and panic. However, Kellen's gift of speech calmed them down and they stayed and fought, their Minister of Magic fighting alongside of them. Unfortunately, amidst the ten year long war between the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix, Kellen was killed, putting his eldest, and only son, Brenner, into power at the age of twenty-three. Almost as soon as Brenner was made into the Minister of Magic, the war stopped abruptly, seeing as how Brenner reached some sort of an agreement with the Death Eaters, though it is speculated that the war only stopped because Brenner was a Death Eater, though there hasn't been any confirmation that he ever was a Death Eater.
Now that the war was over, Brenner deemed it safe to reopen Hogwarts, and that's just what they did, instating Gemma Noelle Avery as the Headmistress, even though she was only twenty-one at the time, but Brenner had a philosophy, and he still does, that young people are better suited to run things. The school has now been opened for three years, and it's relatively peaceful in the magical community, though a few "good" wizards and witches have started to go missing as of late, so everyone is teetering on the edges of their seats, antcipating when the next war will be as they gather the masses.
So, will you stay and fight or will you turn and flee? The choice is yours, but choose wisely, for your choice may mean the difference between life and death.
