What I have here would be a roleplay set in the wizarding world of Harry Potter, placed not in the comfortable seats of the ministry but as a group of wizards and witches who have taken up the mantle as resistance members. Taking place in the year of 1942, several years before the defeat of Grindelwald and whose reign is currently at the height of his power, our group of wizards' job has never been more dangerous as it all takes place in the thick of the conflict between the muggles and their military conflict, specifically what they have called: World War 2, that has been reigning on for three years. [/center] [hr][hr] As the potterverse is just a setting, a vast knowledge of it is not necessary. Most of the stuff you would need to know can easily take a quick Google so don’t worry if you’re not that well informed. With the story will be set out in an episodic format, every new episode is either diving into a new situation or developing a preexisting one. With the nature of this roleplay, I want input from all players, I really want this to be a collaborative effort. I will probably need a good Co-GM too due to other commitments. Still with me? Good then read on… [hr][hr] [color=goldenrod]September 1st, 1939[/color] was when the wizarding world whispered the dark omens of Gellert Grindelwald as his foretelling of the next World War came true as Poland was invaded. With an expedient decision, both Britain and France declared their war on Germany that splintered the wizarding world as a result of the politics that leaked into their society. While in the dark, rumors of German wizards having joined or being recruited by a muggle leader spread like wildfire that slowly drew supporters to the dark wizard's side to take over the humans and restore their proper order. The situation felt under control by most of the wizarding world until communication was suddenly cut from the [color=forestgreen]German Ministry of Magic[/color] as they fell completely silent to the rest of the wizarding world. From the inside out, the [color=forestgreen]Thule Society[/color] announced their birth from the remains of the German Ministry of Magic, having made their moves to wrestle and take control of the wizarding world residing in Germany. Placing heavy propaganda and control over the population that effectively sealed them off from the rest of the world. [u][b][<--- Placeholder, Fix --->][/b][/u] Then [color=firebrick]Durmstrang Institute[/color] was the next to fall in a deadly battle with the dark arts, a school that excelled in the curses involved with their specialty that resulted in many causalities from both sides. A school unflinching in reputation for teaching the dark arts would not fall easily to the forces that amassed against them, but even then, they could only last for so long. Resulting in the fall of the first wizarding school... Fear grew as dark wizards from both Grindelwald and the Thule Society began taking advantage of the ongoing conflict of the war. Taking strikes against the muggles and the rest of the wizarding war that began to draw them into a corner that they could no longer ignore. The option to keep themselves completely out of the picture like they did in the first World War, was now impossible. With the Wizarding World passing legislation that all members of the ministry who possessed the prerequisite ranking could fight against the enemies that were mobilized against them when in need. With the highest ranking wizards on the field being the Aurors, they faced the least rules for the title they possessed, who were vetted more thoroughly than ever that acted as agents for the Ministry with some autonomy to suppress, sabotage, and destroy any of the opposing forces without restraint for the [color=SlateBlue]International Statute of Secrecy[/color]. With it being the first time after its signing, that the International Statute of Secrecy has ever been temporarily suppressed for the Wizarding World in their time of dire need. Despite their best efforts, both the [color=PeachPuff]French Ministry of Magic[/color] and [color=PeachPuff]Beauxbatons Academy of Magic[/color] fell not due to a lack of military force but a failing against enemy espionage that caused their overlapping muggle government in France to collapse to German control. A seed of corruption that easily spread into the channels of the French wizarding world and began to eat the Ministry from the inside out. Leaving only resistance groups that exist on the fringe, avoiding the attention of the dominant power waiting to wipe out all that opposes the new regime. With most of the major powers in Europe's wizarding world being taken over, Britin's Ministry of Magic requested the aid of America and place away their differences. Their aid wouldn't come until the bombing of Peral Harbor where they realized that they too wouldn't be able to keep out of the conflict overseas. Effectively realizing that perhaps a turning point was presenting itself in the world of where something major in history was happening that would decide the future. MACUSA and the United States began dedicating their resources to their allies across the sea, allowing both soldiers and supplies to be delivered to aid the war effort. The remainder of the major players, [color=Orchid]Japan[/color] and [color=Orchid]Mahoutokoro School of Magic[/color], already chose it side willingly due to a difference of opinions from the rest of the world that they felt could be heard with the side they joined. Rallying a patriotism in both muggle society and the wizarding world in America that caused a fervor to ignite the battlefield from the surge of participants in the United States. Allowing the opportunity where Britan and the many other countries to pull their wizards in arms and take another stand from dark wizards bashing against their walls. Allowing for another stand so that the future would not have to face the destruction of war. Another stand to ensure the wizarding world would go on. A brutal war both in the light of day and shadow of night would be commenced by the wizarding world.
