the plot
in order to succeed, one must divide
The Battle of Hogwarts and the death of Voldemort and all that he stood for occurred over two decades ago, bringing about an age of peace that no one had ever thought possible. People lived in relative harmony and there was very little crime. The Aurors spent most of their time rounding up the former Death Eaters and war criminals, placing most members in Azkaban and giving special pardon to those who were deemed safe for society.
This peace has lasted for quite a while, though another, separate threat began building. Discrimination began to rise, but the Pureblood and Muggleborn feud wasn't the primary problem anymore. A law was passed into the Ministry of Magic, stating that any employer had the right to deny work to an employee of half-breed descent, that half-breeds can be denied medical care if needed, and they can be denied service at any establishment if the owner and proprietor so choose. Any and all vampires, werewolves, part-veela, and those born with unusual abilities were immediately thrown out of most jobs if their status was well-known. It was already a difficult time to be a half-breed, but this law made things much more difficult.
There are still a select group of places that will hire half-breeds without a problem, Hogwarts being one of them. That has brought the once safe school into question. With half-breeds being hired and being allowed to attend school at Hogwarts, there are some unhappy students and parents. St. Mungo's still has a specialized facility in helping those half-breeds, though there's no telling when that will change.
A group has begun to rise out of all of this: the Children of the Moon. They are a gathering of half-breeds who are sick and tired of being treated as lesser beings. It is unclear as to what their plan is, and the group itself hasn't made itself public.
Not only has the war against the halfbreeds and the humans begun, but the age-old war between the vampires and the werewolves has been kick-started yet again. No one is sure what it is that has started the tensions, but rumor has it that a rogue werewolf slaughtered some young fledglings of a coven in the middle of the night recently.
On the other hand, there are whisperings of a new Dark Lord or Lady coming out into the opening and gaining strength, though no one is sure what validity these claims have. The Order of the Phoenix has been around since the previous Wizarding War, though they're dwindling in numbers.
The Ministry has been keeping all of these things under wraps, hoping to keep everything the way that they want. Publications about any and all news events that come close to mentioning the half-breed revolt or the new rise of Death Eaters in The Daily Prophet or Witch Weekly are being censored.
No one is really sure what to believe at this point. As the new school year begins, tensions are beginning to rise amongst the students and staff, though no one will address it fully.
