IN 1977, THE WORLD IS CHANGING. It's a slow change, a subtle one that only now is beginning to be brought into light. But it's changing nonetheless, slowly sending the magical community careening into a state of barely concealed fear as the control of the Ministry shifts, allegiances are questioned as formidable adversaries grow powerful.
A time is coming when everyone will have to choose: preserve the Order, the balance that the magical world has lived in for several decades now, or fight for power. For control, as a group that call themselves the Death Eaters rises in numbers and in influence, parading in the shadows of darkness in the name of Pureblood Supremacy. The world is growing darker, its inhabitants more paranoid, and nothing seems to be what it's supposed to be. Relationships are being tested, friendships and families are being questioned, and those held in highest regard are now being cast suspicious glances.
With each passing day, the world gets closer to the edge of chaos, and The Dark Lord gets closer to his ultimate goal of "purifying" the wizarding world. Each day finds him with more supporters, and more power than the day before, and it's becoming clearer that there's no safe place to hide.
Even Hogwarts is left vulnerable, as Dumbledore has gone to Canada to aid the war efforts there. Acting as Hogwarts Headmaster is instead Auror Shevaun Kincade, whose priorities in the position are questionable at best. And so, the students within the castle's ancient walls are left to decide for themselves: join the Order, the freshly formed organization founded by Dumbledore, or aid the chaos and bring about a dark reform to the magical community? The choice is yours, but make sure you're certain. Once you choose a side, you'll be thrust into a world of enemies and questionable alliances, uncertainty and temptation, and no one will be able to spare you from the consequences of your decisions.
