It's 1995. The Order of the Phoenix is organizing a defense against Lord Voldemort in Britain. Many of UK's magical residents are hiding or fleeing the country in fear. The Ministry of Magic and Daily Prophet are denying the return of the most evil wizard in recent British History. Magical folk in the US have not yet been affected. We're facing our own brand of evil, the Seven Deadly Sins. No one knows who they are or what they want, but magical and muggle folks in North America are in grave danger.
Welcome to America. Our country was founded by mudbloods, half-breeds and blood traitors -- The people that the old, powerful, pureblooded families didn’t want around. We do things a little differently around here. Nobody talks about blood purity here because we’re all Heinz 57. We don’t go shopping in dark, musty alleyways; we have our own shopping malls. House elves aren’t slaves out here; we freed them more than a century ago whether they liked it or not. There are plenty of threats in our corner of the world, like powerful secret societies, death cults, and werewolf biker gangs, but we don’t hide under our beds waiting for the terror to pass us by.
The magic is always darker on the other side of the pond!
