THE YEAR IS 1999.
THE MONTH IS SEPTEMBER.
[/font][/center]It's the year after the Battle of Hogwarts. Everyone's had a year to get their lives, finances and priorities sorted out. It was a quiet year, everyone more or less kept themselves to themselves; many savoured the peace after so much war. Arthur Weasley was unexpectedly named Minister for Magic, due to the amount of dedication he gave to the restoration of the Wizarding World after the war. He was named Minister after Kingsley Shacklebolt's resignation soon after his appointment. Everyone helped in the restoration project, helping clean up everything that needed, rebuilding Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic and various others.
For Harry Potter and his friends, it was a time to savour. To heal after a long life of war and to adjust to a life of freedom rather than a life overshadowed by Lord Voldemort. To mourn over the dead. And so they did, and then they started to rebuild their lives. Some knew exactly what they wanted to do; others drifted, unsure of their final destination. Luckily enough for them, it was made for them.
Hogwarts was finished buliding and restoration in March 1999. It looked exactly the same as the original. Professor McGonagall is once again named Headmistress of Hogwarts, a position she gracefully accepted. Her first action as Headmistress was to invite all students back to Hogwarts, with term starting on September the First. She also invited all the previous years' Seventh Years, Harry, Ron, Hermione etc., to come back and redo their Seventh Year. Some declined, but Harry, Ron, Hermione and many others decided that going back without war would be the perfect way to end their school tution. For the Golden Trio, it was just a chance to be normal in a school which they'd spent six years always being embroiled in something.
So, what is to occur in a new year at Hogwarts? Everyone's back to redo last year. But a whole new year brings in whole new opportunities, for pranking, laughter, memories and to create a legacy that will last as long as the Marauders did.
But it's also a time to sort out relationship problems as well. Ron and Hermione have never acted on their kiss last year, and both of them want it but are afraid of the other rejecting them; Harry and Ginny have also reached a slatemate, both also fearing rejection and the fear that the other has moved on since their year apart.
So it's a new year at Hogwarts. The year is 1999. The month is September, but the time is now. So let's all join hands and hum hallelujah.
