70's Marauders

[70sstaff]

The last time Voldemort gained power he almost destroyed everything we hold most dear...

The wizarding world has been at peace since Dumbledore's defeat of Grindelwald. But now all of that is changing as whispers of a new evil are coming up. They say that this new 'lord' will help purge the magical world of muggle-borns and half-bloods, bringing the pure-bloods to the top once more. How it will be done, the whisperers haven't a clue but they've only ever seen it as a small threat. That small threat is growing though, and all the strict pure-blood families are waiting for it to happen. They know something that the others don't and they are willing to fight for whoever this 'Dark Lord' is, anything to keep their precious blood-lines pure.

The year is 1977 and the Marauders are in their final year at Hogwarts. They are relieved that their last year of learning is finally upon them but it also means that they're going to have to up their studying if they wish to make something of their lives after the year ends. As usual, their four friends are up to their usual pranks and having the time of their lives. Unlike some of the others inside Hogwarts, they know of the threat that lies beyond the castle walls and they worry for the safety of those dear to them outside of the school. They are the ones who are in the most danger for the time being. The students who do not know of the evil that is causing problems for aurors and the whole of the ministry are either muggle-borns or come from parents who do not wish to alarm them.

......these disappearances are just how it started before. Voldemort is on the move.

The students are safe as long as they remain at Hogwarts, at least for now. For the outside world, well...people are disappearing. Both muggle and magical. Some people they find dead or with their memories horribly modified, and then there are some they don't find at all. Whether they are dead or alive, people do not know but those whom are not found are presumed deceased. However, what people are learning is that this evil calls himself "Lord Voldemort" and his followers are becoming known as "death eaters" together they are wreaking havoc on the unsuspecting. People are in panic, and they aren't sure of who can or can't be trusted these days. Even the minister of magic is feeling stressed out.

Luckily Dumbledore isn't willing to go down without a fight. He has started a small organization dedicated to stopping Voldemort and his followers. Most of them are qualified witches and wizards, all of whom have completed Hogwarts. But they have a few sixth and seventh years lined up to join once they are finished themselves, the marauders are a few candidates. Although Dumbledore was able to recruit some followers, other were a bit shaken up by the idea of joining this organization and eventually, they declined. Both sides are looking to build up their armies, what side will you choose?
