In the year 1970, Lord Voldemort returned to England with his sights on overthrowing the Ministry of Magic. His return sparked the formation of The Order of the Phoenix. Founded by the Head Master of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, the secret society was comprised of some of the most brilliant minds the wizarding world had to offer. These talented witches and wizards were hand selected by Dumbledore himself, but Lord Voldemort was not alone in his quest for pure-blood and wizarding supremacy. The Death Eaters, formerly the Knights of Walpurgis, were almost as infamous as their dark lord for the destruction and tragedy they left in their wake.
It is now the year 1977. The Ministry has held strong against Voldemort and his followers, and as a response he has personally begun to lead attacks on prominent wizarding families. In the beginning, they targeted muggle-borns, as well as sporadically setting their sights on large groups of muggles, but now it seems that no one is safe. Witches and wizards go off to work each day, wondering if their families will be next, terrified that they'll come home to find that ominous symbol in the skies over their home. His name is now only spoken in anxious whispers of "you-know-who." With the identities of his followers still almost entirely unknown, there is growing sense of distrust among people. At Hogwarts, the tensions are higher than ever between Slytherin and the other three houses. "Why shouldn't they be?" you might hear, after all, it's a well known fact what every young Slytherin aspires to be.
