The Plot
[/font][/blockquote]
The Dark Lord is dead.
As he has been for twenty five years, since he was defeated at the battle of Hogwarts by Harry Potter. Speaking of Harry Potter, his son Albus is now in his seventh year at Hogwarts, with Lily in her sixth year. All is well within the walls of Hogwarts. Classes are going ahead as normal, well there wouldn't be any reason for them not to. Ghosts float in and out of classrooms, passing through doors and carrying with them gossip of make ups, break ups and scuffles that are going on around the school. The suits of armour are still up to their old tricks, sticking a leg out to trip over an unfortunate first year or singing christmas carols in the month of December. Professor McGonnagall retired as Headmistress of Hogwarts and was replaced by a new headmaster who sought to try and further remove the boundaries between the houses. Professor Steven Miles-Mills definitely trod a new path for future headmasters and headmistresses of Hogwarts to follow. He set out plans for introducing a new house to the school, but fortunately the other professors convinced him that it wasn't wise to change the ideals upon which the school had been built.
However, all is not a rosy at it first appears, unless you're wearing rose-tinted spectacles. Yes the Dark Lord is gone, end of story, but his legacy isn't. What happened to those Death Eaters who didn't die in the battle of hogwarts? Some went to Azkaban, some went on the run and others settled down to have a family. This new generation holds the Death Eater ideals in high esteem, having been raised as pureblood supremacists. But is there any room in this world for those who pick their friends and enemies based on their blood? The answer is yes. There are whispers running all over the school that a select group of older students have been practising the arts and upholding the ideals of their parents. No one knows the true name of this group, but when been referred to into conversation, they are known as the DE, short for the Death Eaters. But with darkness there is light, with evil there is good and with the DE, there is the New Order. This group is the new Dumbledore's Army. Their aim is to undo all the wrongs committed by the DE and to stand up for the younger students. It's more a club than an organisation, but the older members having been training in more advanced magic in the hope that they might be able to overthrow the DE.
The leaders of both the NO and the DE have now graduated, moving out into the wider world to wreak havoc or take up respectable jobs. So what remains of the groups they have left behind? Will they continue away from the walls of Hogwarts, adding people to their cause and using the school as a training ground? Or will they put the past behind them and except there is no room in the world for petty fights over blood purity? No one really knows, but one thing is for certain, the battle for who will become top dog of Hogwarts has begun.
