I. THE PLAGUE
IT ALL STARTS WITH A HOST, LINGERING UNSUSPECTED IN THE SHADOWS. ANYONE CAN BE THE HOST, AS WE ARE ALL PROUD OWNERS OF MILLIONS OF BACTERIA LIVING INSIDE OF US, BUT WE ONLY WORRY WHEN THEY BEGIN TO MUTATE. DAY TO DAY INTERACTIONS CAN PASS THE BACTERIA ON, LIVING NOW IN ANOTHER BODY, MUTATING MORE AND MORE, BECOMING SILENTLY DEADLY. WATCH OUT, THE HOST IS COMING FOR YOU, MAKING CONTACT WITH YOU NOW, YOU ARE INFECTED, IS IT BY FATE OR CHANCE? YOU ARE A MARKED MAN NOW, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME, A REVELATION OF THE END, AND HERE WE CAN ONLY ASK ONE QUESTION... WHO IS THE HOST? ON A COLD JANUARY NIGHT IN 2026 A MUGGLE GIRL FELL ILL. AT FIRST IT WAS A SIMPLE COLD, YET NO MEDICINE OR MAGIC COULD MAKE THE SNIFFLES GO AWAY. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THEIR FIRST WARNING. IN A WEEK THE GIRL WAS VOMITING BLOOD AND HAD TURNED A NASTY SHADE OF YELLOW. THE NEXT NIGHT SHE DIED. THE MINISTRY TOOK HER BODY IN TO EXAMINE THE CAUSE OF HER UNFORTUNATE DEATH AND THE DAILY PROPHET'S HEADLINE SIMPLY READ “PLAGUE.” IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS 3 MORE MUGGLES DIED FROM THE PLAGUE, AND THE FAIRLY NEW MINISTER, ETHAN URQUHART, QUICKLY HAD ALL MUGGLES GOING TO LIVE IN A QUARANTINE AREA CALLED KENSINGTON. THEORIES BEGUN TO CIRCLE, THEORIES OF THE MUGGLES' DIRTY BLOOD FINALLY ACTING AGAINST THEIR BODIES, BUT THE ORDER HAD A DIFFERENT THEORY – THE NEW MINISTER HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. OF COURSE THEY HAD NO PROOF. ONE SUSPICIOUS THING, THOUGH, IS THE MINISTER HAS NOT ASSIGNED ANYONE TO STUDY THE PLAGUE, NO ONE COMMITTED TO SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE MUGGLES ARE NOW FORCED TO LIVE IN KENSINGTON, AND IT SEEMS TO ONLY PROMISE DEATH. WHICH RAT IS CARRYING THE DISEASE? II. TRAITORS & FAKERS
SOMETIMES THINGS SEEM SO BLEAK, YOU FEEL DESERTED, AND YOU'RE LIVING IN A WORLD THAT'S DRY AND BARREN. YOU WALK FOR MILES BUT YOU'RE GETTING NOWHERE. YOU'RE HANGING BY A THREAD IN THIS PLACE THAT IS SO MUCH LIKE A DESERT, SO MUCH DEATH AND STALENESS IN THE AIR THAT YOU HAVE TO SPLIT YOUR LUNGS INTO PIECES TO FIND AIR. THAT'S WHEN YOU SEE IT THERE, THE GLIMMER OF SPARKLING WATER, IT CALLS TO YOU AND SUCKS YOU IN LIKE A BEACON OF HOPE. YOU FALL TO ITS' SIDE AND USE THE REST OF THE WATER INSIDE OF YOU TO CRY OF JOY; YOU ARE SAVED! YOU DRINK AND DRINK BUT YOU ARE STILL THIRSTY, THIS HOPE IS DYING, THE JOY IS MURDERED, YOU THOUGHT YOU MADE PROGRESS BUT YOU HAVEN'T. DON'T YOU SEE? THIS IS NO OASIS, AND YOU'RE LEFT THERE DEFEATED, THIRSTIER THEN YOU WERE BEFORE. IN THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY 2027 HARRY POTTER WAS FOUND DEAD. AT FIRST IT WAS DECLARED A HEART ATTACK, A REGULAR OLD NON-HEROIC NO MORE WONDERBOY HEART ATTACK. PEOPLE BEGUN TO QUESTION THIS, THOUGH. IT WAS THEN THAT HIS AUTOPSY REPORTS CAME BACK-THERE HAD BEEN POISON RUNNING THROUGH HIS VEINS. MURDER. MAYHEM WAS SOON TO FOLLOW. PEOPLE WANTED ANSWERS, THEY WANTED A CULPRIT, THEY WANTED JUSTICE. A HUGE INVESTIGATION WENT UNDERWAY, AS THE ORDER TRIED TO RESTORE...WELL...ORDER. THEY HAD THREE PEOPLE IN CHARGE, THEODORE LUPIN, ROMULUS GOLDSTEIN AND ARABELLA SHACKLEBOLT, HIGHLY RESPECTED BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THEY WERE COMFORTING. IT WAS NECESSARY AT THIS TIME. FINALLY THE MINISTRY CAME UP WITH THREE NAMES. MALCOLM BADDOCK, JEZEBEL ROOKWOOD, AND ROMULUS GOLDSTEIN. A TRAITOR! UNDER ALL THEIR NOSES! AND BECAUSE HE HAD SO MANY PEOPLE WHO LOVED AND FOLLOWED HIM, RESPECTED HIM ESPECIALLY, WHO COULD BE TRUSTED? WHO HAD LITERALLY FALLEN IN HIS FOOTSTEPS? SOME DIDN'T BELIEVE IT AND SAID HE WAS FRAMED. OTHERS BELIEVED ANYTHING WAS POSSIBLE. A SMALL TEAR WAS CUT INTO THE FABRIC THAT WAS ONCE THE ORDER, AND WITH EACH MEMBER WITH THEIR OWN OPINIONS AND ARGUMENTS THE TEAR BECAME A RIP AND THE RIP BECAME A HOLE AND NOW IT IS ALL JUST HANGING BY A THREAD. WHO CAN BE TRUSTED? WHO IS GIVING INFORMATION TO WHO? WHO WILL DIE NEXT? BECAUSE THIS CAN'T BE THE END, DEATH IS STILL OUT THERE. III. A BUMP IN THE NIGHT
WHEN PEOPLE THINK OF DEATH THEY THINK OF THE END. THE END OF THE LINE, THE END OF THE ROPE, THE END OF A HEART THAT HAS BEAT FAITHFULLY AND NOW HAS THE COMMON SENSE TO STOP. THEY THINK OF THE OLD, THE SICK, THE FAINT OF HEART, THE STARVING OR THE POOR. THEY UNDERESTIMATE DEATH IN THIS WAY. SEE, DEATH IS, ABOVE ALL ELSE, LOYAL. LOYAL TO THE WAY THINGS ARE, THE DESTRUCTION HUMANS CAUSE, THE FATE THAT CAN BE DECIDED AT THE DROP OF A HAT OR THE BEAT OF A HEART. DEATH DOES NOT HAVE A HEART LIKE THE HUMANS, INSTEAD ITS' HEART IS A BIG CIRCLE WHERE DEATH MAKES TRIPS AND TRIPS, ROUND AND ROUND, UNBIASED ON WHO IS DYING AND WHO IS LIVING. SO WHEN IT IS TIME FOR A BOY OF EIGHT YEARS OLD TO DIE, DEATH IS THERE TO COLLECT HIM. THE WORLD IS NOT READY, THEY WILL BE SHATTERED BY THE NEWS, BY THE CRUELTY. YET ASK DEATH AND IT WILL TELL YOU THAT THAT IS THE WAY OF THE HUMAN WORLD AND AS ALWAYS THE SHOW MUST GO ON. IT'S 2027, THE MIDDLE OF THE THIRD YEAR OF ETHAN URQUHART BEING THE MINISTER OF MAGIC. THE FIRST YEAR OF HIS COMMAND WENT QUITE WELL. HE WAS CHARMING AND CHARISMATIC, AND TOOK CARE OF BUSINESS AS THE PEOPLE WANTED IT. HE GAINED THEIR TRUST. THE SECOND YEAR WAS WHEN EVERYTHING BEGUN TO SPIRAL DOWNWARDS. HE SLOWLY BEGUN EXPLOITING ANYONE WITH DIRTY BLOOD, ANY BAD THING THEY DID, WHILE HE MADE THE MINISTRY COVER UP ANY CRIME PUREBLOOD'S COMMITTED. THROUGH THE DAILY PROPHETS EXTORTION SOME PEOPLE BEGUN TO THINK MUDBLOODS WERE SOUR. ETHAN MANIPULATED SO MANY PEOPLE, AND THROUGH MANIPULATION AND POWER HE GOT THE BACKUP HE NEEDED FOR WHAT COULD BE CALLED THE UPRISING. THE BEGINNING OF HIS THIRD YEAR AS MINISTER HE BEGUN TO MAKE DRASTIC CHANGES. THE MUGGLES WERE MOVED TO A GHETTO KINGSTON, HALFBLOODS WERE LEFT ALONE, BUT THEY FIGURE IT WON'T BE LONG UNTIL HE COMES AFTER THEM, WHICH IS WHY MANY ARE SIDING WITH THE MINISTRY, TRYING TO GET JOBS THERE TO AVOID BEING MARKED AS USELESS. WORKING AT THE MINISTRY HAS BECOME A SORT OF SAFE HAVEN, BUT FOR HOW LONG? ALL THIS WHILE ETHAN URQUHART SITS COMFORTABLY IN THE BIGGEST ESTATE YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, WITH THE LOVELIEST FAMILY. A TWENTY-FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER NAMED SANDRINE, A TWENTY-SIX YEAR OLD SON NAMED MIDAS FROM HIS FIRST WIFE (NOW DECEASED) AND AN EIGHT YEAR OLD SON, HIS PRIDE AND JOY, THE APPLE OF HIS EYE, AND OH DID WE MENTION THE BOY IS ALSO THE NEW HEIR OF SLYTHERIN? CONFIRMED THROUGH A PROPHECY, ONLY A FEW KNOW – ETHAN, HIS CURRENT WIFE, AND ETHAN'S TWO MOST TRUSTED EMPLOYEES – DRACO MALFOY AND HIS SON, SCORPIUS, WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE A SPY FOR THE ORDER. SCORPIUS LETS THIS INFORMATION 'SLIP' TO HIS FRIEND, HARRISON LONGBOTTOM, WHO SEES FIT TO TAKE ACTION. THIS SAGA ENDS WITH DEATH SLINKING AWAY INTO THE INKY DARK, AWAY FROM THE SHRIEKING SHACK, GENTLY CRADLING THE SOUL OF A LIMP BOY, THE NEW HEIR OF SLYTHERIN WITH A DEVASTATING FATE. IT'S 2027 IN LONDON, AND THIS VERY WELL COULD BE THE END. |
