Setting and Plot
What does it mean to call oneself a Wizard?
What are the qualifications?
What should be the restrictions?
Suspense and drama, intrigue and mystery, cabals and bureaucracy; three pairs, that are deadly enough on their own, and together reek chaos on the 2008 Wizarding World. History has an uncanny way of repeating itself; old horrors ways of becoming the hottest fads. With the Second War a decade gone and the battle between Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter a relic of the past, the revolving wheel of time has already begun to turn again. This time powered by the winds of youthful impressions and misconceived knowledge – or perhaps, it simply had never stopped turning?
When Lord Voldemort met his final downfall, his idealisms and beliefs did not fade completely with him. His influence over the turn of the Wizarding world could not completely be shed asunder. The attempt to “purify” the Wizarding race left its mark, and while most of England remained guarded, unwilling to allow such a tragedy to strike again, some clung to the belief, patiently bidding their time.
Being pureblood evolved to the equivalent of celebrity status. It meant that you were safe and a true born wizard; never having to fear being subject to a repetition of the past. It was something to be envious of and sought after. Adolescents that were proud of having such standing began to publicly proclaim their pride in ways not previously so heavily showcased. Some even began to think that Voldemort was misunderstood, that he was in a way right, and the Dark Mark was transformed into a means of declaring their birthright. It was tattooed to muggle buildings and to corners of Knockturn Alley while being scribbled on the corners of parchment at the scenes of mediocre hate crimes. This group of young wizards and witches were titled “Elevens,” after the Ministry “Infraction Eleven” of the juvenile infringement for intentional harm against Muggles, which is in accordance with the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery.
But, little does the British Ministry of Magic know that the “Elevens” were just the outskirts of the larger picture.
Introducing…. The Deva.
Lord Voldemort was just a flea; a simple pawn in a more complicated chess game. Even before his rise to power, the concept of Wizarding Purity was spreading among the rest of the World. In the United States of America, far across the Atlantic Ocean, brewed another organization; The Deva. Built on the backbone of politics, it thrived as an underground organization, spreading its fingers slowly world-wide. As England remained occupied with one measly wizard, thousands of Wizards were slowly being converted to the cause of Purity. First in North American… then spreading into South America… Africa… Asia… and now, a decade after Lord Voldemort’s demise, into Europe. These “Elevens” were just the beginning of the infection of the Deva in England. Gradually and subtly, the Deva increased its presence to ease the country into its control, careful to avoid upsetting a population still wary of purist idealisms after Voldemort's reign.
But they found something in England they were not expecting; organized substantial resistance. Another group is stirring from the ashes of old, the Phoenix Regiment, bent on the ways of the once Order of the Phoenix and determined to stamp out The Deva and the repercussions it could have on a barely recovered community.
The Ministry of Magic, with a new Minister since the last appointment, struggles to maintain the balance as well as its own bureaucracy and political games and power struggles. Hogwarts, under similar new administration since the retirement of Minerva McGonagall, suffers under the crossfire between the three; dealing with a mix of loyalties and concepts within its own walls and the Ministry’s iron first trying to club its way in from the exterior.
Enter an age of social and political chaos and find your clique in a churning turmoil where standing on the sidelines will soon become obsolete.
Political action is taken against minors and Flooing is banned to those under seventeen of age during the Holidays from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Avery Thorne, a Hogwarts Professor, is murdered during a Hogsmeade Trip by means of the Killing Curse, suspected to be at the hands of Elevens.
Political turmoil ensues when an Auror attacks a pureblood wizard on the street and is fired for alleged assumption of associating pureblood wizards with The Deva.
The turmoil continues after the same auror and a vampire acquire jobs as educators at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Defense Against the Dark Arts is abolished for being politically incorrect and serving as a possible threat to the Wizarding Community through training possible Deva members combatively.
