Harry Potter: Alternatum


Harry has fled from his duty, and as such, the world has suffered greatly from it. Voldemort has taken the wizarding world by storm, and some believe he is building an army to take on the world itself. Tension builds between the local muggle government and the wizards themselves, and many believe that war is brewing underneath it all. Muggles continue to disappear as well, sent off to camps where they are "re-educated".

You are a seventh year student at Hogwarts. You are not special beyond your wizarding abilities, and as such, you are ready to graduate soon. What happens next will change your life, and Hogwarts forever. Will you succeed where Harry could not? Can you fight back against the Dark Lord himself?




Character Sheet


This character sheet will be eventually placed in the characters section once its finished and your character accepted. If you have any questions, please refer to the OOC post or reply your question below. The CS is fairly straightforward, and I cannot wait to see what is applied.






World Info


The wizarding world has definitely changed since Voldemort took power after the Battle of Hogwarts. Immediately reconstructing the Ministry of Magic, the sole purpose of the magical government turned from governing to persecuting Muggles and their kin. With no one able to fight back collectively, the government would eventually place the muggles in "re-education" camps. Stories of these camps are quite terrible, though none can be completely proven. Most try to make the rumors disappear, or calmly claim they are hyperbole.

Voldemort led a very concentrated campaign to find Harry after he fled the battle. For years, the Ministry sent out bounty hunters, mercenaries and even muggles to capture the young man. However, none were ever successful, and to this day, Harry has not been found. It is widely believed he is dead at this point, even though the Ministry continues to put out posters. The other troublesome wizards of the era have either been killed or captured, their lives snuffed out by Voldemort's regime.

Hogwarts has been rebuilt to Voldemort's ideals, and the castle shows his influence. The headmasters pictures have been destroyed, and all that remains are shrines to Voldemort's abilities and "events". The four noble houses are still incorporated into teaching, as Voldemort was unable to completely get rid of the history behind them. Gryffindor students are looked down upon by the teachers however, and they are disadvantaged when it comes to their overall teaching. Many new students pray not to be sorted into Gryffindor, simply because they do not want their education to lack. Slytherin has become the predominant house, with their students even being taught offensive spells. Many graduates from that house go on to become Ministry or political players.

More info to come.

I'm at work and on a tablet atm so I can't create a character just yet but will do so when I get home.

Just for clarification do we all need to be 1st years? Older students will have advantages over younger students.

Also curious are the three unforgivable curses allowed at Hogwarts as punishments or for hazing younger students?

By the way, are we allowed to create customs spells, as long as we keep it reasonable?

Loving what I am seeing so far!

@Shard
I am worried about opening that flood gate honestly. It HAS been 5 years since the series, so new spells would be coming out, especially due to Voldemort's urging. I am okay with custom spells, as long as they are balanced, etc.

1 Ravenclaw and 3 Slytherin so far. It would be ironic if Voldemort's kingdom was brought down by mostly Slytherin lol
