Default Hope to the Hopeless

Several months have passed since the fateful events at the Battle of Hogwarts, and all seems well. There is still a bit of turmoil in the Wizarding World as people try to rebuild their lives after years of living in war, but everyone is moving forward on the road to peace. Things are starting to look up.

The students of Hogwarts began their new term right on schedule with a new Headmistress, Minerva McGonagall. After the chaos and conflict of the previous term, this one seems quite peaceful and normal – or as normal as a magic school can be. The famous Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood, and Hermione Granger have all returned to Hogwarts for their seventh year, and after the chaotic events that occurred merely months ago, turning homework in on time seems like a small challenge to the three girls. But things never do seem to go as planned. What started as a simple project assignment for Charms class turned into something young Ginny Weasley never expected.

Ginny remembered her best friend Hermione Granger mentioning how she’d had to use a Time-Turner in her third year at Hogwarts. This gave Ginny an idea – was it possible to charm a Time-Turner to go by days instead of hours? She was willing to find out. With the permission of Headmistress McGonagall and the Ministry of Magic, Ginny was granted a Time-Turner for only the amount of time it took to do her project and receive her grade. Hermione Granger, having gotten her project done for the Christmas holidays, and Luna Lovegood, who had most of her own project done, decided to lend their friend a hand. Even Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, and Draco Malfoy (who Harry and his friends had been trying to befriend ever since the end of the war, which was only going slightly better than either side expected) offered a little help ever now and then, for it was quite a challenging project. “So long as Ginny does most of the work it’s not really cheating,” Hermione reasoned.

One day, however, when things seemed to be going well enough to test the Time-Turner to see if the charms had worked, something, somehow, went terribly wrong. Just as Harry and Ron - who had volunteered to be the testers – just as they put the Time-Turner’s string around their necks, the Time-Turner went berserk, flipping madly out of control. Before any of them realized what was happening, all seven of them disappeared.

Two hundred years after the end of the Second Wizarding War, trouble begins brewing yet again in the Wizarding World. A new group of Dark Wizards and Witches that had secretly come to power in the Ministry of Magic is now making themselves and their goals known – that Muggle-borns and Half-bloods have tolerated the hate from Purebloods for far too long and are now going to fight back with a vengeance; just as in the past Purebloods have believed they had the right to rule over Muggle-borns and Half-bloods, so too do these new Dark Wizards and Witches believe in a supreme rule but with the Muggle-borns and Half-bloods ruling over the Purebloods. They have called themselves “The Dementor’s Shroud,” having gained support from many dark creatures like the Dementors. With people like these in power, things aren’t looking great for the Purebloods.

However, Purebloods aren’t going down without a fight, and so they get together and form a resistance group known as “The Patronus Opposition.”After much discussion and strategy organization, The Patronus Opposition sets off for the Ministry of Magic to take on The Dementor’s Shroud without any idea how badly this battle will turn out.

The powers of The Dementor’s Shroud rival that of Lord Voldemort’s Death Eaters, even of Voldemort himself. The members of The Dementor’s Shroud have delved themselves completely into the powerful Dark Arts; all their Higher-Ups, and even some of their other members, have at least one horcrux and all of them are ruthless, ambitious, and seemingly have little to nothing of a conscience. But all this is unknown to The Patronus Opposition until after the battle.

To be fair, The Patronus Opposition held their own against The Dementor’s Shroud for quite some time, forcing the battle to last longer than either side expected. The battle raged a full 24 hours before The Patronus Opposition realized that they were truly losing this battle. While both sides suffered casualties, The Patronus Opposition had lost far more people than the other side. Finally they were forced to flee, taking as many of their dead as they could to give the brave fighters a proper burial.

The Ministry building was destroyed, but that was not a problem; buildings could be rebuilt, and there were far more important things to think about. A new Era had begun with the Muggle-borns and Half-bloods in full power over the Purebloods.

The Patronus Opposition went underground with its supporters and was silent for the next seven years. All hope seemed lost. There was no Harry Potter to save the world this time. He and his friends were long since dead and existed now as children’s stories.

So it was incredibly strange when one day, seven years after the failed battle at the Ministry of Magic, a group of seven teenagers randomly showed up at The Patronus Opposition’s headquarters. How did they know the headquarters’ location? Even stranger was that these teenagers seemed quite familiar to them, as one might feel when rereading a long-forgotten story you read as a child.

“Who are you?” demanded one of the leaders.

The one who appeared to be the leader of the teenagers’ group stepped forward. “My name’s Harry Potter, sir.”

Disclaimers:
-Based on C.S. Lewis’s Prince Caspian but with a Harry Potter twist.
-The Wizarding World was created by J.K Rowling and as such belongs to her. The canons (Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Draco, Neville, and Luna) also belong to her. I take no credit for any of it.
-Many thanks to my friend MistressofDawn for helping me with some of the details.
