and the forces of darkness will rise from the depths,
their pious and privileged names guarding them from scrutiny
led by their dark lord to rid their pure world of its filth.
yet the conqueror of grindewald will rally the forces of truth and justice,
leading a crusade against the oppressors
fighting those we love
loving those we should fight
war is upon us! be ready for anything!

these are the words that came from the mouth of sibyl trelawney as the year 1977 dawned. no one was around to hear this prophecy, so no one would know until it became history. but speculation still fell over the land. rumors of a legion of dark wizards going after muggleborns was the talk behind closed doors. then the daily prophet recently released a paper with the headline, 'MUGGLEBORNS TARGETED: ONE ALREADY DEAD'. these dark wizards may not have a name, and though their identities are unknown, they are out there. fear struck all, and old prejudices that the wizarding world politely stifled for decorum's sake reared their ugly head again.
meanwhile in the safe confines of hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, the marauders are in their seventh year. they too are noticing the changes occurring in their world. they see the pureblood elitists walk down the hall making taunts to all the 'mudbloods' that cross them, and whispering to each other as if they were in the conspiracy as well. they see the teachers watching them like hawks just as they're walking through the corridors. they notice dumbledore always going off alone or accompanied by some alumni or ministry official that they recognize to some unknown destination. they are awfully knowing yet unknowing nowadays. despite all this, it's their seventh year. nothing's going to bring them down. but anything can happen, so one must be ready for anything.[/size]
