It’s the year 2022 and a lot has changed since the days of Harry Potter. Technology has arrived in the magical world and with it jobs that had never been heard of before are booming. The Weasley family has pulled off a Cinderella rags to riches story and developed magical vehicles for those who don’t want to, or can’t, apparate, don’t like Floo Powder or the environmental waste of portkeys.  Hogwarts is also now offering a three year University for a mix of classroom and field work in highly specialized fields such as Aurors, Hitwizards, St. Mungo’s Healers, and Hogwarts nurses and doctors to prepare them for the high stress and difficult careers they’ve chosen.

With the good comes the bad, or so it goes. On 1st September 2021 multiple cities around the world where muggle and magical people have lived in harmony were targeted with vicious attacks, those responsible not bothering to hide their use of magic from the muggle world. Add to that the fact that various murders were both live streamed and played over TV stations simultaneously by the group responsible, murders that were blatantly magical, and on 1st January 2022 magical and muggle officials alike were murdered live including the retired former Minister for Magic. There have also been other attacks taking place throughout the magical world over the last few months including an attack on Hogwarts students who were on a trip in Hogsmeade and a separate attack which saw the Hufflepuff Head of House killed. The group, who call themselves The Enlightened, have erased a lifetime of work at hiding magic and made muggles lapse into fear. Chaos is spreading as everyone asks the questions. Who is among the Enlightened? Is it the guy in the office next to you? Your best friend? Is it you? Or are you seeking to catch the wrongdoers? Or are you simply trying to stay alive and safe?

A wise old man once said happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remembers to turn on the light.  With that I only say: Lumos.
