It’s been two and a half decades since Harry Potter defeated
the Dark Lord Voldemort. In the years since that fateful night,
many changes have come to the wizarding world. The ministry,
once the powerful epicenter of the British wizarding community
is losing power slowly. Every day, the newspapers are reporting
new conspiracies and rumors about muggle suspicions and po-
litical tensions between the England and the other British states
not to mention foreign ministries. With all this, it’s no wonder
Kingsley Shacklebolt has stepped down from his position as
Minister of Magic. Voted unanimously to fill the position was
Hermione Granger-Weasley -- the famed political activist and
former member of the Golden Trio. During a press conference
on her new position, an assassination attempt was made on her
life. Though Madam Granger-Weasley would have preferred to
remain in the spotlight as a show of her support for the govern
-ment and wizarding community, it was the urging of her hus-
band and children that finally made her agree to go into hiding.
This hasn't made Britain's foreign affairs any better, obviously.
Because of the political and economical tensions with Britain
and it's allies around the world, the Ministry has stepped once
more inside the boundaries of Hogwarts School. This time in an
attempt to issue an order of world peace and cooperation by star
-ting an International Learning campaign. The campaign, started
by Madam Granger-Weasley herself just days after the assassi-
nation attempt, has been tentatively accepted by Britain's closest
magical allies -- the United States and France. The campaign
would allow young witches and wizards from foreign schools to
spend a few years at a school in a different country from their
own, letting them experience the different culture and styles of
magic. There are few, including those high up among the allied
governments, that believe this system will achieve it's goal in
granting a better understanding of the world to the next gener-
ation while achieving peace in the modern world. Furthering this
campaign, Granger-Weasley has opened up a new sector of the
Confederation of Wizards. Inviting other magical governments to
send their assigned dignitaries to be apart of a new council that
would promote peace among them.
If it works, a new world order would be established. It is still the
early days of Granger-Weasley's stint as Minister, but there are
those who wonder if it will last. The wizarding community, while
putting up a united front, is slowly cracking and chipping away
inside. There are so many who distrust the government and are
just waiting to see it fail. Others are merely cynical about the
minister's new policies. Rumors of a magical world war have be-
gun to fly, suspicion and fear tainting the Ministry's attempt at
peace. Nothing is certain in this new age for the Britain's Ministry
of Magic.
