THE NEW ERA - SHADES OF GREY

Sides are chosen – New Alliances are formed – Ties are Broken.

The Hermione Granger Story ( with lots of Draco =P)

**The war is over. The light side has lost and have retreated underground to hide from Voldemort and his reign. Everything has been over thrown – the daily prophet, muggle government, Diagon Alley, The minister of magic have been killed – The ministry has been taken over however, there are secret agents that have appeared to bow down to the dark lord but are really working for the underground to try and regain power. Hogwarts has been taken over making sure they can keep an eye on all promising students. All muggle-borns must take an exam to prove they are worth something to this new society – If they fail they must become slaves or be exiled to the muggle world. Those who fight against this will be killed. The school is no longer the safe haven it was before, You must watch your back at all times. School is compulsory, if one student does not attend their parents will be killed or imprisoned. Harry and Ron are banned from Hogwarts for life. There is no way around it. Voldemort is god now and god is all seeing.

Voldemort succeeded in creating the perfect army by creating a new breed of wizard.

-Men and Women have been converged with Veela to seduce the light however, it is a permanent state of being. All of the complications that arise in normal Veela life now feature in theirs.

-Older wizards no longer have a pain threshold and need to be careful after the war as to not kill themselves accidentally.

-All graduated wizards and witches have an inflated sense of power as well as an larger sense of strength. This is not in their minds though, potions are more powerful, spells have more of an impact and physical strength is greater.

As well as more beasties and baddies.

This only applies to those wizard and witches who fought for the dark side. Many find their new abilities a god send.

Our main characters that were affected –

-The Malfoy family are now veela and are more beautiful than ever. They get what they want when they want and manage to keep very quiet about the negative effects of the convergence .

-Crabbe and Goyle are bigger and have sacrificed some of their mental ability for super strength. (Not that they were smart to begin with.)

-Blaise is also Veela however, he has chosen not to use his powers for seduction. He wants to become a political genius using his charm and beauty.

-Pansy could not take the effects of her change and is dead.

-Millicent Bullstrode not surprisingly became like Crabbe and Goyle.

Those who are underground -

The Weaselys – Both Fred and George are alive.

The Finnigans – Muggles with magical knowledge have been taken in by the light.

The Order Of the Pheonix – This includes the families of Dumbledore's Army

Former Hogwarts Staff – Even the centaurs.

Those from the ministry that did not change sides – Kingsley, Mr. Weasley, suprisingly Percy and others.

The Granger's – Hermiones parents are not dead.

The Hogwarts Students of the light- However all students must attend school and pretend to be part of the new world. There is a system for not being detected.

All students that live at the school during the school year have undetectable protection spells placed upon them.

Main Characters - Hermione Granger. A skilled muggle born who passed the acceptance exam. (Voldemort is working on a blood purifying potion for the most skilled.)

Draco Malfoy. Newest member of the Veela family.

Hermione is attending Hogwarts School of Witch craft and Wizardy (The new era) with the intention to just get by as unnoticed as possible until the year is out and she too can go underground. She starts out as a spy for the light, reporting everything that happens at the school.

However, complications arise when Voldemort perfects the purifying potion and decides that she is the best candidate. Hermione is summoned to the dark court and is administered the potion. It works, making her blood no longer 'muddy.'
