June 5th, 1998
Barely a month has passed since the climactic Battle of Hogwarts, bringing about the end of the Second Wizarding World. Though a war has ended, by no means is the wizarding world stable. Hundreds are dead, and an almost equal amount need to be dealt with through the law. Numerous Death Eaters are still on the loose, desperately trying to wreak havoc on a still hurting world. The Ministry is working through a power vacuum, scrambling for new employees while also trying to maintain current levels of security. St. Mungo's is still overflowing, as more and more people turn up out of hiding injured or dead. And Hogwarts is still devastated, the castle almost in ruins and not nearly ready for reopening in September.
But plans have been put in place, and the shaky wizarding world is emerging on its feet. Hogwarts is undergoing a massive reconstruction program, sponsored by the Ministry - all have been invited to participate. Returning students over sixteen, returning professors, as well as any willing civilian have been granted housing and board in order to help efforts to restore the massive school. Kingsley Shacklebolt has recently been elected by a shaken Ministry as the Minister of Magic, and some of his first acts have been to loosen restrictions on possible employees and to track down known Death Eaters still on the run. But everything is ever so fragile, and just one little push can either steady the wizarding world or bring it tumbling down. Which will it be?
Only you and your characters can decide that.
