‘… Harry could not hear a word that anyone was
shouting, nor tell whose hands were seizing him,
pulling him, trying to hug some part of him, hundreds
of them pressing in, all of them determined to touch
the Boy Who Lived, the reason it was over at last –’
—JK Rowling
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows[/right]
Nevertheless, Hogwarts was crumbling at the seams. Walls had been knocked down by ruthless giants; parts of towers lay thousands of feet away; the whole school was a shambles—beyond repair. Surviving professors did away with the rubble and half-standing school and worked together to create a new one in its place. However, as many historians believe, those ignorant to the past are likely to help or cause history to repeat itself. When weeding out Death Eaters, the Ministry foolishly missed quite a few. You see, the smarter supporters found that once Lord Voldemort died, the spell cast on their Dark Marks was lifted, and they could be removed with the simplest of spells.
As a matter of fact, one of Voldemort’s closest and most trusted advisors did not attend the battle that night—having other things to see to. Yes, this man survived the battle and the Ministry’s search, making sure his twin sons did also. In a matter of years, the remaining supporters gathered and silently declared to finish out the Dark Lord’s plans. While they despised most of Voldemort’s doings, many of his beliefs are their own, and nothing can stop these men until control is theirs.

where are we?Exactly ten years ago, Harry Potter defeated Lord Voldemort. The deadly battle took its toll on those who participated, the castle where it took place, and any and everyone who knew that such a Dark Lord had once existed. The Ministry was quick to gain control. A new Minister of Magic was appointed within hours, and Aurors flew to the scene of the battle to take care of straggling Death Eaters. All of those who supported Lord Voldemort—proven to have done so by the marks on their arms—were sent off to Azkaban without a second thought.
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just begun to fall
crop circles in the carpet
sinking feeling
