The year, is 2021. Twenty four years after the demise of the dark wizard known as Lord Voldemort, terror no longer plagues the magical community. Life is unusually peaceful, for those who lived during the reign of evil, and young wizards and witches have nothing to fear but stories of monsters, and demons, made up by their parents to keep them in line.
Kingsley Shacklebolt, once appointed temporary Minister for Magic, held on to the position, being exceptionally successful in keeping the wizarding world running smoothly, and things are, in essence, as they always should have been.
A few exceptions remain - a reminder of the terrors that once threatened to rule. Hogwarts Castle, is one of these exceptions. Never quite the same after the Battle of Hogwarts, it is what you could call.... scarred. Rooms changed, portions of the castle rebuilt, altered, never quite capturing the same feel it once had. Professor McGonagall took the position of Headmistress on a permanent basis, and tries her best to bring the same values to the school that it had under the great Dumbledore's guidance. The students, however, tend not to notice the great change in the place, they're far to busy with more important matters....
Like the new transfer program that has been developed between three of the world's main magical schools, Beaubatons, Durmstrang, and Hogwarts, itself. Students may transfer to these schools, for as long as they like, no matter where they come from. This great show of unity has helped boost morale all across the wizarding world, leaving magical folk with a newfound sense of togetherness that they never had before, making them a more powerful force than ever. That is not to say though, that the rising strength of the magical community will not be taken advantage of, for there are always those that are daring enough to turn such power into darkness...
