Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry- as you've never seen it before!
 
The year is 2070.
 
After the Voldemort wars, what remained of the wizarding community slowly began to pull itself back together. Many of the well respected figureheads of the magical world had given their lives to ensure the safety of Muggles and wizards alike. Albus Dumbledore was killed relatively early on, after almost singlehandedly destroying the majority of the Death Eaters. Harry Potter, the Boy who Lived, saw his enemy vanquished before finally succumbing to the immense hurts and losses he had both felt and witnessed. He died not far from the corpse of the once great Dark Lord. The other figures you are so well acquainted with slowly faded from view, living relatively normal lives. Of course, the Malfoy clan is still around, arrogant as ever, but with less power than they once wielded. There are plenty of Weasleys scampering about the globe- it seems fertility is an inherited trait- but they rarely return to England. There are few alive who have any personal recollection of the time of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and most of those were so young at the time that they barely understood what was going on.

This year, Hogwarts is finally re-opening for the first time in 30 years, after having been extensively renovated. Needless to say, much has changed since then, but the core of life goes on.. Students are still enrolled by their parents early if they wish to secure a place in the fabled school. They buy their robes, books and stationery from Diagon Alley, and the first years are ushered across the lake in boats, pale young faces excited and a little fearful. They study classes, sleep in their dormitories, and dine as a house at the long laden tables in the Great Hall. Life is settled, and good. Of course, life is never perfect, and never perfectly safe, and under the still dark waters something sends a ripple to the surface.
 
Welcome, children, to Hogwarts....
