The Plot.

We are using the sixth book as canon and then making up the seventh year as we go, though we are including many elements from the seventh book into our main plot. Mini plots between members are not only encouraged but the norm.


It is the last and final year, the year of trials and tribulations. Harry, Hermione, and Ron had returned to Hogwarts in hopes that they might remain, but shortly thereafter the Dark Lord and his followers took over the Ministry and created a totalitarian police state. Using the Imperius Curse Voldemort places the puppet leader Pius Thickenesse as the Minister of Magic, who does everything Voldemort says with a smile. Voldemort also order the taking over of Hogwarts, placing Severus Snape as Headmaster. Death Eaters openly roam the school grounds, patrolling and making sure that the students are behaving, and punishing those they believe are out of line. As the Trio fled the school to save their lives, the Muggle-born students were practically tortured by those who counted themselves as superior.


The Order of the Phoenix seemingly does nothing to protect the students, who have no real means to protect themselves, concerned instead with the matters of the first move, and who will strike first. They prepare themselves for a battle that may or may not come, and in doing so do nothing in the present moment. Those at the Order don't even offer help to Harry, Ron or Hermione in their search for the Horcruxes, essentially leaving the fate of the war in the hands of those that the Order deemed long ago were merely children.


Meanwhile, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and a number of others still at the school are doing all they can to prevent evil from taking over everything they have come to know, and life hangs in a delicate balance for everyone. The search for the Horcruxes is on, as is the quest to decipher the last message of Dumbledore, and to figure out exactly what the Hallows are, and what use they will be at the end of things, and if it will help or hinder. At the school Neville has begun anew Dumbledore's Army, gathering students who are dejected by the Order as mere children and not worthy enough to fight. There he teaches them the things he herself learned years ago, with the help of Ginny and Luna. Those three have become a new force at Hogwarts, filling the holes left by Harry et all.


Consider next the darker forces, bubbling and rising to the brim of the Wizarding world. Voldemort is in control of the Ministry, Snape controls Hogwarts. Bellatrix is torturing those who disobey, killing some and simply maiming others. The vile Carrow twins 'teach' at Hogwarts, disciplining those who they deem unworthy and vying to please the Dark Lord as much as they can. Draco has become somewhat of a king at Hogwarts, doing as he pleases, taking his cronies with him and generally wrecking havoc. Evil has become a noted, formidable force that cannot be ignored even by those pretending to carry on.


Those who aren't trying to prevent the end of the world from happening are struggling to get by, and barely making it. In this dark time, even the Muggles are starting to notice a change in the world, that things are growing darker, and colder. Will you fight when the time comes, and who will you stand by? Will you be a student, living your life at the school and watching as the war rages on, or will you be an adult, actively fighting on a side?


Hallows and Horcruxes, which are you looking for, and why?


The Goodies.

That's right! While we are a Harry Potter forum, we do try to give it a twist of our own flavor. We have actual, interactive Quidditch games that students can participate in. A fully functional system of points and monies, ranging from graphic and writing competitions to actual jobs and stores where items can be purchased and used.

Is the canon character you wanted to play taken? Come and challenge! We invite anyone who would like to try their hand at a character to do the very best for that character. Granted, the person currently playing that character has every right to defend themselves, but no one is considered 'off limits' from a challenge... not even staff members!

If you aren't in the way to play a canon character all the time but sometimes get the urge to play Hermione every now and again, partake of our Polyjuice Portum, where all rules and characters are thrown aside so you can write to your heart's content. Want to play out what would happen if it were Harry and Hermione getting together instead of Harry and Ginny? Go for it! Want to see how strange things would be if Voldemort was a girl? Go for it! We want you to play what you want. We also have a very special forum dedicated to accepted members only, where fun and exciting conversations occur all the time.

There is more, much more, but why spoil the surprise? Come and find out for yourself.
