What was lost was left in the hopes that it would be lost forever...

Forbidden Forest, April 1998…

Harry said it as loudly as he could, with all the force he could
muster. He did not want to sound afraid. The Resurrection Stone
slipped from between his numb fingers, and out of the corner of
his eyes he saw his parents, Sirius, and Lupin vanish as he stepped
forward into the firelight.

Hogwarts, April 1998…

“The thing that was hidden in the Snitch,” he began, “I dropped
it in the forest. I don’t know exactly where, but I’m not going to
go looking for it again. Do you agree?”
“My dear boy, I do,” said Dumbledore, while his fellow pictures
looked confused and curious. “A wise and courageous decision, but
no less than I would have expected of you. Does anyone else know
where it fell?”
“No one,” said Harry, and Dumbledore nodded his satisfaction.

Forbidden Forest, April 2021…

Dru sauntered casually into the Forbidden forest as she did almost every night, her amber eyes darting back behind her to check up on her friend. “…it’ll be good for you to get out of the common room.” She said and turned back to look at her friend. “..I mean you’ve been locked up in your dorm since you got back from Christmas break..you need to get out” she finished her sentence and turned back around, looking around the slightly cleared area for her nightly prey. She jumped up into the nearest tree, trying to get a better view of the area.

Constance let out a silent sigh and wandered over to a fallen log, plopping down, her ebony eyes downcast. She brought her hand up to her cheek, allowing her sullen head to rest upon it as her friend hunted about. Her dark orbs wandered the ground for several seconds before catching a glimpse of something shiny in the dirt. She stood and moved towards the dull gleam, reaching her hand out to pick up the small black stone off the ground. She eyed the tiny rock and her mind raced through the black necklace she had buried with her mother not a few months prior.

“….Stace?” Dru called out walking up behind her friend quietly. “you ready to go?”

Constance pocketed the stone and turned about to see her friend, nodded reassuringly and followed her out of the forest.

Now…

It has been twenty three years since the fall of the Dark Lord Voldemort and everything is seemingly getting back to normal. The Ministry of Magic has begun to be rebuilt led under the charge of a new Minister of Magic; Elaniver Addrodoc. Hogwarts has been reopened under the watchful, non-judgemental eye of Selena Holland alongside with her staff of Professors and noble house elves. The ghosts have reappeared to their home and the owls are beginning to fly worldwide to deliver the letters to the returning and un-expecting witches and wizards. The castle has been renovated along with a few new rules to help make the school safer for everyone. Hogsmeade along with many other wizarding towns have become guarded by the unseen eyes of the Ministry of Magic and even the muggles’ homes have become a priority of magic watches.

Harry Potter, famed boy who lived now takes his place within the Ministry as Head Auror alongside Cho Chang and Ronald Weasley. Hermione Granger now head of the Dept. of Magical Law Enforcement has improved the quality of life for house-elves and put an end to pro-pureblood laws. Many of the old crew like the famed trio has settled down with careers and families many of which are now attending Hogwarts.

Now on summer holidays the school is quiet but with the autumn months not too far off the arrival of new students is about to begin. With it come new adventures and new discoveries to be made. The arrival of some new transfers makes the atmosphere slightly darker and the threat of evil hanging in the balance. The sense of something sinister is on the air and the past is about to repeat itself on the new generation. The time may have come for the Trio to tell their children the whole story and prepare them for the war of the century…

Beware the world is about to be Captivated by Magic!
