20 years ago the dark witch Pangea took over the wizarding world. Ever since she has bees ruling the Wizarding world. Under her reign the population of many wizard communities was devastated. Unlike those before her she sought not to destroy or enslave muggles, but to rule over wizards with an iron thumb. Any who opposed her reign were wiped out along with any of their family and friends and loyalty was often rewarded with torture and subjugation.
After a year in power she destroyed the schools and forced all wizarding children to be taught by her and her minions in a secret base at the top of a mountain. She only let her most loyal followers teach certain subjects there, all of which were either dark or pertained to how to best serve her.
At first the world looked to their previous savior, Harry Potter, to rescue them and defeat the dark witch. But even he was defeated. No body was ever found and to this day they mourn his passing in secret, though the festival this year was public and lavish, despite not knowing if he is truly dead. There have been rumors going around...
After the defeat of Harry Potter rather than losing hope and submitting, they fought harder. A resistance that had taken root in England in the ashes of the Order or the Phoenix rose up and started spreading to each country, giving hope to those they helped. But still they weren't enough to defeat Pangaea.
Then last year a hero rose forth out of the masses and struck her down, freeing the people from her dark and terrible oppression. Finally free from her, the wizards didn't know what to do. They rebuilt their towns and schools, but now their population was so devastated that they didn't have the numbers to fill a school in each region, let alone each country.
The leaders of each country banded together and thought long and hard about this predicament. It was finally decided that Hogwarts, the oldest of the wizarding schools and the one that had produced every savior since the times of Grindelwald would house and teach the students from every race and nation. Starting with this generation, all children would be sent to Hogwarts to be taught by the best witches and wizards in the world.
Since formal education in anything but dark magic had been prohibited under Pangaea's reign it was decided that all students would be tested in each subject and put in classes that reflected their skill and knowledge.
So come on in, you students of all things arcane, and begin your tutelage in the art and science of magic. We welcome you, one and all to
