These are the events from the Yule Ball battle on SF onward 'til almost the beginning of this RPG. This information will help make your character sheets stronger should you choose to refer to what happened as it most likely happened during your character's lifetime.
`` December 19, 2008 - Yule Ball. Death Eaters attack both school and the Ministry, but in the days following, the Minister goes on to say, "I know there are many questions regarding these attacks and who's responsible, but I feel I must be totally honest and admit the facts are few. I can confirm however that the rumors of a resurgent Death Eater Movement being responsible are utterly false. Most of the surviving members of that movement are secure within the walls of Azkaban or dead. The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is confident given the evidence we do have that this is a new terrorist group with an expressed interest in toppling the standing order of the Wizarding world."
`` December 22, 2008 - Trevor approaches Thomas Price and recruits him.
`` December 26, 2008 - Casey and Evie approach their families about going into hiding with them. Trevor hears about it and seizes the opportunity, convincing Thomas (through threats and whatnot) to go with them and kill Casey. The Winslows think this behavior odd, but what can they do? Rest of Casey's family does not go into hiding, insisting they'll be fine outside and not to worry about them.
`` January 1, 2009 - Early hours of the morning Thomas kills Casey while he's asleep next to his wife in bed. He manages to slip out unseen and lets Trevor in, who promptly kills Thomas near the door, and then he ventures further into the safe house, killing Julian and Lydia and then Evelyn. He ventures to the master bedroom and rests a hand on Evie, waking her with a start.
`` January 5, 2009 - The mass murder of Order members occurs late in the evening. The motive is unclear to all that buy the Minister's explanation of "terrorists."
`` February 28, 2009 - Paper documentation proving blood status begin to be required around the UK's Wizarding communities. Anyone caught without is treated as a muggle-born and thrown into Azkaban for a minimum of two weeks.
`` June 30, 2009 - Attack on a Wizarding village in Ireland near Dublin as demonstration that there are indeed terrorists around...not that everyone who was attacked that day would buy it. The first slaves taken in. An important person in the Ministry is killed. Naturally, he is later replaced by a Death Eater.
`` July 2009 - Various attacks kept up, claiming Diagon Alley and leaving it completely in shambles. Hogsmeade is attacked, but the "terrorists" disappear, only a few casualties and injuries and one item missing from a magical repair shop. More high-ranking Ministry personnel killed and replaced.
`` August 2009 - Hogwarts reopened, though its acceptance only goes to half-bloods or more, the Minister claiming it's safer for the muggle-borns in the muggle world with the "terrorists" on the loose.
`` Aug.-Sept. 2009 - Various attacks on seemingly random Wizarding villages, leaving some in shambles and others with mere damage and casualties while some seemingly pointless magical object disappears. Raids on a few small muggle villages take place. Hazings galore. More slaves taken in. The Ministry reissues its statements on how to remain safe during dangerous times.
`` Oct. 2009-Jan. 2010 - Seeming period of peace. The newly instituted group of Ministry's Imperium Guards that have replaced the Aurors seem to be doing their job.
`` February 14, 2010 - The true reason for the peace is revealed with the Minister's shocking revelation that he is indeed not their beloved Walter Crane but instead the Death Eater Harold Masters. Obvious shock from that as Masters was believed dead. A riot occurs around the podium where Masters is speaking, Death Eaters apparate in, and the final struggle begins. The Death Eaters overpower the crowds, enslaving any who protested or fought against them. The reign begins. The Wizarding world is forced to recognize Trevor Williams, a former assassin of Voldemort's, as supreme leader with Harold Masters second-in-command. A new group of students is formed within Hogwarts meant to report any suspicious, treacherous behavior. Death Eaters are freed from Azkaban on the condition of complete loyalty sworn to Trevor.
`` In the ensuing months, swift action is taken upon any who rebel, examples made of any who dare speak out against them or rebel against the newly established order of things. Punishment is so horrible in nature that anyone would be foolish to try anything. Raids occur regularly, though never in the same place twice unless someone left to watch reports suspicious behavior in the city. No one feels safe; no one truly is safe.
