The Dark Lord is back, and this time, it's not just Great Britain who is threatened. America was never involved in Great Britain's wizarding world, but when their Wizard prison, Alcatraz was attacked and more than 25 of the most dangerous Dark Wizards America had ever encountered escaped, they turned to their British cousins, pleading for their help.
The Ministry refused, afraid if they did divert their attention from Great Britain and Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore, the latter would target the Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge himself in an attempt to take the position he had once refused for himself.
America did what they could in an effort to find and capture these rogue wizards, sending their equivalent of British Aurors, Rogue Hunters, scouring the country for these escaped wizards. The wizards however, proved elusive. They would be sighted somewhere, just to literally disappear seconds later.
These witches and wizards left a trail of destruction and chaos in their wake. Some acted on their own agendas, seeking revenge on their enemies and taking down everyone who got in their way, whether it be by accident, or deliberately. However, there were the majority of them who acted as a group, attacking objects that would shake the American Wizard Community to its core. One of these was the Wizarding School, Jenara's School for the Conjurer. Another was the American Minister for Magic herself, Olivia White, who was found dead in her office three days after Jenara's was destroyed.
Fear overtook many American Wizards, and the American Ministry looked to Great Britain once more for help, however this time, they reached out to Albus Dumbledore, pleading to at least allow the students who went to Jenara's take both refuge and tutelage at Hogwarts. Albus kindly accepted, on the terms the students were to be sorted into one of the four houses Hogwarts had to offer. America accepted.
News spread fast. The Ministry didn't try to hide it. Dumbledore didn't try to hide it. The Daily Prophet accused Dumbledore of orchestrating the attack on Alcatraz, and organizing the fugitive wizards to attack Jenara's to bring more students to Hogwarts, and under his influence to take over the Ministry.
The newly reformed Order of the Phoenix thought Lord Voldemort responsible, wanting to both gain more followers and once ready to reveal himself, spread fear not only in Great Britain, but all across the Globe, and once his conquest complete, reform the world in his image.
Even still however, there are the Americans, who are unsure which side to believe. Some believe it is another dark wizard, wishing to continue Lord Voldemort's work.
No one knows who is behind these recent attacks to America, but if anything is certain, there is a battle on the horizon, and it's bound to shake the wizarding world to its roots. Who will you stand with? Who do you believe? Who will you fight for?
