INSURRECTION SITE PLOT
After the war ended in 1998, for a time the United Kingdom was at peace. They were focused on rebuilding, with Kingsley Shacklebolt heading up the Ministry. While the more dangerous Death Eaters were sent to Azkaban, lower level offenders were put into a work release program, in an attempt to bring them back into society. For a time, everything was getting better and life got to go on without worries of war and something ominous approaching.

As time went by, though, some were not as happy about the lenience showed to Death Eaters and their family and so came the whispers. The whispers called into question the sanity of Minister Shacklebolt, the sanity of Auror Potter, and rumors can go a long way if the right people are spreading them. Eventually, this brought about the rise of a new Minister, by the name of Isaiah Durant.

His regime as Minister put Death Eaters in camps, had purebloods questioned, had everyone with any purist ties fined into poverty. It was an extreme approach, one that many liked because it punished those who had hurt and killed in the past, but many people deemed it as too much. Too inhumane. To those people, it was only a matter of time until the Death Eaters were going to push back.

When they did, Minister Durant was publicly executed in the Atrium of the Ministry, and a Death Eater by the name of Ares Wentzell took over. But even his reign was riddled with problems, with some of the purists not liking having a foreigner in charge, and others thinking his ideals weren’t entirely on par with theirs. Though he did start up a Muggleborn Registration that put all Muggleborns into ghettos, and into horrible jobs that subjected them to daily torture or demeaning or menial work, there were some that wanted him out of power -- especially after he married a halfblood himself.

Within a year, he was pushed out of the Ministry and a new Minister took his place. Andromeda Lestrange. A name that brought up much controversy, as the former Order member who married a Death Eater after the purists came to power. However, she had the backing off other purists, who thought that she had more than proved in the past year that she was once again, one of them.

It seemed as though her reign would be better — the sacred twenty-eight supported one of their own in charge rather than a foreigner, but over time, even her policies started to seem too lenient on Muggleborns. Those who were under seventeen and would normally be in Hogwarts were taken away from the jobs they were assigned and put into a school for Muggleborn Children. Muggleborns were allowed to leave the poverty they had been forced to live in and go home as long as they continued going to their assigned jobs. There were certainly people that weren't so happy with Minister Lestrange's policy choices either.

But then, everything changed when a bigger problem struck them.

A disease swept the United Kingdom, innocently appearing to be nothing more than a bad cold for some time. It was only when it had already spread out of control that they realized what the final symptom was: the person’s magic completely vanished. Even when their other symptoms eventually subsided, even when they were back to otherwise perfect health... their magic was gone. Those impacted couldn't so much as summon something.

Now, with more than half of the wizarding United Kingdom without magic, the United Kingdom is in a state of emergency, with the borders closed to ensure this epidemic does not spread to the rest of the world. The public is trying to adapt to life without magic, and for some, that means learning how to do things by hand that they've never done before. And the Ministry? They are just trying to keep everything from plunging into complete chaos.

Peace talks have begun, to try to get the purists and Muggleborns working together toward a cure, but only time will tell if any good will come of them...

HOGWARTS SIDE PLOT
Hogwarts, of course, is always impacted by changes of leadership in the United Kingdom. When the Ministry was taken over by Death Eaters, the curriculum changed — no more Muggle Studies, the change of Defense Against the Dark Arts to simply Dark Arts, and a Death Eater as a Headmaster.

But now, there is a new concern. While the epidemic that is raging throughout the United Kingdom does not seem to impact children — the youngest person infected with the disease has been found to be eighteen year olds, there is still concern for family and friends as Hogwarts students have not been off the grounds since the epidemic began.

With most of the staff now without magic, classes have also become more difficult, as professors have to teach without demonstrating, and students have to learn while knowing that a pandemic is out there that may eventually infect them as well.

Time will only tell how the staff and students will adapt to the epidemic that has reached inside of Hogwarts’ walls…

After an incident at the End of Year Dance, the school is placed into an indefinite lockdown. Students and staff are not permitted to leave, for an undetermined amount of time.
21 May

The Department of Muggleborn Regulation and Control has officially begun registering Muggleborns and placing them in new jobs and housing. This is mandatory, and any Muggleborn that doesn't register by the 30th of June will be considered a fugitive.
8 July 2017The lockdown of Hogwarts officially ended and all remaining students were let home for the summer.
1 Jan 2018A coup at the Ministry had Minister Wentzell ousted, and Andromeda Lestrange has taken his place as Minister.

1 May 2018Minister Lestrange officially shuts down the Department for Muggleborn Regulation and Control, as most Muggleborns are already registered. Any further duties that the department would carry out, such as the search for fugitive Muggleborns were passed off to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
15 Aug 2018The Minister announces that the subject of Dark Arts in Hogwarts will once again become Defence Against the Dark Arts. She also once again is allowing homeschooling, as attendance of Hogwarts was mandatory under Minister Wentzell's regime.
6 Sep 2018A state of emergency was issued for the United Kingdom as the Ministry and St. Mungo's realize that the innocent cold spreading out of control has one final symptom that no one saw coming: losing magic.
12 Sep 2018Lufkin University suspends their start of term in light of the epidemic raging across the United Kingdom.

9 Oct 2018University of Bangor announces their reopening, set for 15 October, as well as announcing a secondary stream of courses available for students who have lost their magic and are no longer able to pursue a practical degree. This theoretical stream allows all students to continue schooling.
15 Oct 2018Lufkin University announces that all staff that no longer can perform magic can no longer teach and those students without magic must change to a major that does not require magic as they are no longer allowed in their chosen major. This is considered a shocking move after University of Bangor's announcement.
