___A CITY IN SILENCE.
During the beginning of Fall 1997, cities and villages were quiet to the point where it appeared many of the cities were dead. Many didn't know why the people were so calm and not suspicious of the new found quiet peace in the magical community -- but no one was about to complain. Everything felt safer, it felt as though all the worry and drama that people brought onto themselves and their families were finally gone. Peace had finally filled the magical community just in time for the holidays to come. Cheer filled the minds and bodies of the young and the old and everyone was beginning to embrace the cold winter to come -- but it didn't. Winter wasn't at all what people had expected, it was as though the seasons would never change and not a drop of snow graced their heads and homes -- not even an inch to claim it winter, which dimmed the holiday spirits that were on the rise.
Although the world refused to chill, families kept their hopes up and continued to embrace the new found peace and silence among the city -- and no one had a care in the world anymore. Was He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named finally gone, was the fear no longer? Villagers questioned to neighbors while cozying up to fireplaces and hot coca in the mist of Christmas carols and cheer. But maybe the sudden cheer was just too much for those lurking in the shadows -- for the quiet was on the edge of changing rather quickly. Was this sudden peace far too good to be true?
In the dusk of night Diagon Alley had been attacked and brought to flames and no family was safe, no one could be trusted. Chaos filled the magical community and turned this peaceful town into the depths of fear and hell. Houses burned, and many appeared missing -- with no one to help, with no one to search for the loved ones lost. Some families escaped, but for many it was too late to run, for it seemed almost as though they were stuck forever in fright. Was anyone really safe anymore?
December 7th 1997, the minister spoke to the public in a panic;
“If you believe I am going to stand up here and feed you a line of pixie dust, than you’re no smarter than Odin the Baffled. We’re all scared. We’ve all lost someone dear to us, and it makes us believe that we’re not safe within our own beds.
For now all that can be said is to remain in your homes or where you most feel safe. Do not wander astray at night -- if you dare to risk it, bring someone close to you, and never, never, forget your wand for it may be needed. If you see anything odd please report it to the ministry. You can help protect this community, we're all in this together.
With that said, the Order is in progress of searching for the attackers and searching for further information. We're on the look out for those whom have disappeared, those loved ones that many have lost. We will not give up until this city is safe.
So please, keep calm and carry on.”

The daily prophet is now the most popular source of current progress within the community. Already four missing vitcims have been found alive and returned to their families -- but the battle is not over for He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and those whom follow have been spreading terror and attacking villages all over the community. The ministry believes that it is not just those demons whom lurk the shadows -- but random rebels who do not follow the circle of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. The ministry believes these rebels are just trying to strike the fear furthermore within the community and will not rest until their point is across.
Who really knows where they may strike next and who will be taken with them?
For now all villagers can do is hope and pray for change, for final peace in their homes. But where do you rest in this situation? Are you a follower, rebel, demon? Will you run or will you bring this community to peace like the rest of them?
Will you save this silent city that rests in fear
Or will you feed the horror that leads?
