peace can only rule for so long before it's shattered. and when hades carrow decided
to break the peace between the wizarding and the muggle worlds, it was shattered for good.
the news was broadcast to dozens of countries before the minister for magic could even
blink. millions of people saw a cloaked man, filmed on a camera phone, kill people
with a green flash of light. even more saw as he turned a bus into a giant snake, with
nothing more than a stick of wood. this time, mind wipes were out of the question.
this time, there was no going back.
right to rule. the theory had been there for centuries - break the statute of secrecy
and rule the muggles. no more hiding. no more secrecy. the intention was for the muggles
to become nothing more than slaves, to serve their betters. the ministry seized the
men, but nothing could be done about the enlightened muggles.
cults were formed, worshipping self-declared "wizards", ordering their members to kill,
to thieve, to maim. people were killed in the street for dressing abnormally. others
were kidnapped and forced at gunpoint to do magic - regardless of whether they were
genuinely a wizard. some took advantage of the situation and racial, cultural and religious
killings littered the headlines.
then the magical killings started. witches and wizards started to use the killings as cover
to kill halfbloods, muggleborns, blood traitors. to kill anyone that got in their way.
after all, who would notice, in all this chaos?
the ministry became aware of what was happening. they declared there was nothing left to
do but to go into hiding. not as they had before, where a simple memory wipe would do if
someone slipped up. no, this time it was total. laws were passed forbidding robes. magic
was banned outside of wizarding buildings. owls were banned and everyone was instructed to
use muggle communications."the taboo", used in the time of voldemort, was re-instated, to ban magical
words. there was to be no sign that wizards and witches still existed, whilst the muggle government
tried to paper over the chaos with lies about doctored tapes and suicide bombings.
the laws are growing stricter, but people are growing angry. it's only a matter of time before things get even worse.
OH, OPEN YOUR EYES WIDE
OPEN THEM TO THE WORLD AT LARGE [/b][/color][/font]
