The cold wind whistled loudly through the lifeless trees that grew in the front garden of the Potter’s home as five tall men in long black cloaks ghosted up the pathway like the devil’s minions. With a flick of a wand the door was blasted straight off and the screams began within, the shrillest belonging to Lily Luna Potter, the youngest daughter. Harry grabbed for his wand but it was too late and a flash of green later the-boy-who-lived was dead, never to return this time. The anguished cry of his wife tore through the night’s sky as she tried to gather her three children and flee the house but the two boys couldn’t get to her in time for her to throw herself in front of the curse that stole their lives away. All Ginny had left was Lily and grabbing her hand she raced from the home that had been so peaceful for years. Behind them the roars of the men followed them through the flashing scenery. A second later Ginny gathered Lily tightly into her arms and as a flash of emerald shot their way the two disappeared with a pop.
Boy Who Lived Killed!
Death Eaters Seize The Ministry of Magic[/font]
With everyone’s hero now dead the world stared at the newspaper open eyed with horror. How could it be? How could he be gone? The muggleborns of the wizarding world knew exactly what this would mean, the same as it had that once before when evil triumphed over good. It seemed the world grew darker almost instantly as people left the streets to hide within their homes until they could hear word from other souls in their town. This was the state of affairs for a few weeks before the reign of the Death Eaters truly took over. Muggleborns and half-bloods were rounded up and registered under the new regime before being pushed into the camp like slums created for them to live in. They were disgusted as families were torn apart. Purebloods that had married below them were ripped away from their ‘unworthy’ partners and ‘bastard’ children, being pushed into other matches to rebuild the pure race. Those who refused were branded and thrown into the slums with everyone else. Hogwarts became a pure only school and if those in the slums dared to have more children they were taken and enslaved or often killed. The Death Eaters wanted them stricken from the earth forever.
Now this carried on for 6 long years with the treatment of those in the slums getting worse and worse as every day passed. If a child was lucky enough to survive the checks and actually enter the world it wasn’t the end of the battle. If they were found by the dementors sent they were rounded up and shipped off to the 'upper world', the town where the purebloods had based their government. The children were sold to the highest bidder as slaves and never once saw their families again. They either worked for hours, or died at the hands of their new masters. It was on the 6th Halloween after Harry Potter’s death that finally enough was enough. A group of brave halfbloods and muggleborns, led by the long since hidden Lily Potter and her cousin Rose Weasley, escaped the slums. Lily had not left her house in 6 years and as she shot past guard after guard with her group in tow for the first time hope appeared. Many died in this push but the ones who made it managed to throw themselves into the sewer, and deep into the underground. This was the last time Ginny Potter saw her daughter alive.
Now two years later and the wizarding world is about to change. The purebloods have been told that there’s nothing to worry about, that those meddlesome teenagers have been disposed of, but even though the leaders issued this statement it was not true. For the blue-blooded guards that presided over the slums refused point-blank to get their feet dirty in the water of the sewers and this was to be their downfall. For underneath the ground, in a town of their own creation, the teenagers are growing more and more powerful. They sneak out every once in a while to collect more people and smuggle them back under the cloak of darkness, and now they’ve got quite a colony. From medi-wizards and witches that qualified before the new rule, to talented potion brewers and aurors. The teenage created world is going from strength to strength with two strong leaders to stand behind in battle.
However those in the Upper World are also preparing for war, they’re training all their young men into fighters, pushing families more and more together so that more purebloods are born to fight for this new order. They want the world to stay just as it has become and will do anything to stay in the power they have become accustomed. They’re trying to make the slummer’s lives worse and worse as more are rounded up everyday to be taken to the execution chambers they fear every day. The cauldron is bubbling and the potion’s been stirred for a revolution… So those purebloods better watch their backs because it might be their turn soon to experience the power of those who reside UNDER THE STREETS[/center]
