Welcome to Year7
The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a darker place this
year than ever before. The Dark Lord is on the rise outside the walls,
and it is an open secret that his influence has penetrated the
Ministry of Magic. Muggleborn wizards have been declared illegal. Fear
rules the streets, and many wizarding families have been murdered or
gone into hiding. Inside Hogwarts, Snape has replaced Dumbledore as
Headmaster, despite persistent rumors of foul play, and the Dark Arts
are openly taught. Some students are reveling in the changes, while
others are pursuing quiet-- and not-so-quiet-- rebellion. Familiar
faces are missing from the classrooms, and new students replace
them. Almost every day, new word arrives of relatives killed and
friends vanished.
And yet, school goes on. There are NEWTs to be studied for, and house
points to be won; Quidditch matches to be played, and, of course,
dates to be found for the Yule Ball. Your time at Hogwarts is coming
to an end, one way or another; you'd better get everything you can out
of it.
