From the Ashes

[shannon]

From the Ashes mostly follows the canon storyline up until the end of second year (Chamber of Secrets) - with a few significant changes. The destruction of Tom Riddle's Diary was, instead of being one of the first horcruxes to be destroyed, the last horcrux. Voldemort, whom quickly noticed what had happened, travelled to Hogwarts with the aim of finding and defeating Harry Potter. A battle similar to the one in Deathly Hallows (albeit on a far smaller scale, with far less consequences) was fought on the Hogwarts Grounds. Many casualties were incurred, but many were also prevented due to the most senior members of staff fighting on the front lines to protect the students. The battle reached its climax with a duel between Lord Voldemort and Albus Dumbledore.

Voldemort was defeated, his Death Eaters were either imprisoned in Azkaban, went into hiding, or pleaded innocent and continued to live their lives. The entirety of third year was spent re-building Hogwarts. Many of the staff decided to retire or leave, so replacements were called in. Large quantities of effort was put into making sure that Hogwarts still felt the same as before - like a home to the students, a place of safety and security. By the end of the year, everything seemed to be back to normal.

Now fourth year is in sight and everyone is eager to start a new year. But things at Hogwarts don't stay normal for long - a rather unique surprise in the form of students from the past falling through to the present will add a new dynamic to the school. And with whispers of a new group--the 'Death Raisers'--forming, it is clear that an awful lot of both good and bad has risen from the ashes of Voldemort's defeat.

Welcome to From the Ashes, a potter-era AU role-play set in 1994. We have a fresh new plot with a time-warp twist!
