Welcome to a new term at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's 2021 and students, both new and old, are returning to the castle that we all know and love. But this year, something has changed. The founders are back.
The wizarding world is overflowing with theories but the truth is that nobody knows how or why the founders of Hogwarts have returned from the grave. Historians had dismissed the legend that they could be resurrected if Hogwarts was in danger but the rumours appear to be true... except the school seems to be as safe as ever. Even the founders themselves are unaware of who cast the spell and why they did it.
Of course, not everybody is pleased about the founders' return. The Society for the Liberation of Wizards has announced their objection and earned the support of like-minded wizards. When the Society was created seven years ago, they campaigned to end the oppression of the magical community and come out of hiding. Their agenda might sound harmless but it was enough for Harry Potter to regroup the Order of the Phoenix.
The Pueri Serpentis, a secret society rumoured to have been founded by Salazar Slytherin himself, are using their influence across the globe to fight the Society's efforts. They believe that the wizarding and Muggle worlds must stay separate at all costs and have operated from the shadows for centuries to defend the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.
Why have the founders returned after a thousand years? Did the Society want them to lead a revolution? Did the Order need powerful allies to replace Dumbledore? Or are the founders just playing dumb about their real intentions? It's going to be a complicated year but one thing is for certain: it's time to pick a side.
