The Days are Dark...
In 2009, young Hogwarts graduate Leia Biggerstaff left the wizarding world for a safer, more normal life among the muggles. Over her time away, things in the wizarding world had slowly started to calm down and all seemed well...for a while.
But when London plunged into the great eclipse of 2020, magic was exposed to the muggle world, and there was no way to reverse the exposure. At first the ministry doubted the effects of the damage but soon they discovered it had created a fear and panic that has not been seen in centuries.
Witches and Wizards began to be persecuted... then executed; but not only by muggles, sometimes by their own kind. In an attempt to save their own lives, a group of Wizards and Witches have sided with the muggles to help locate magical ones, they are called The Fury, and with their identities secret, no one is safe.
Now, 4 years later, the hysteria is still strong. Thousands have already been killed, and many more are on the way. The need for Auror's in gone and now are the 'Protectors'. They watch over the school, and the rest of the Wizarding world.
Muggleborn Witches and Wizards are scarce, most are killed upon first discovery of their powers, and those who make it to Hogwarts usually don't have a family to return to. So they have been entrusted to Leia, now the school's headmistress, to teach them the ways of magic and prepare them for their future, for the fight of their lives.
The Muggles themselves have been divided into two groups. The Defenders, working with the fury, who believe they must protect themselves from the evil that is the magical world, and The Alliance who had banded together with The Protectors to help preserve the magical world.
Hogwart's has never seen a time so dark, with The Fury walking among them, no one can be trusted. It's us or them.
