In July 1970, Nobby Leach left office for mysterious health reasons, leading to a conspiracy theory that he had been poisoned by his Muggle-prejudice advisor Abraxas Malfoy.He was then replaced as Minister for Magic by Eugenia Jenkins, who, like her predecessor, was sympathetic to issues of social justice. Squibs then began marching for their rights, which spurred pure-blood supremacists to riot. Throughout the decade, with various minority groups demanding to be treated as equals, many of the old, elite pure-blood houses, to which a plentiful number of the earliest Death Eaters belonged, increasingly felt that their very way of life was being threatened. Many pure-blood supremacists who did not join the ranks of the Death Eaters nonetheless gave their wholehearted support to Voldemort's cause in secret even still.

It was in this charged climate that in 1970, Voldemort revealed himself openly, proclaiming himself the Dark Lord, and started to commit extreme acts of terrorism in Britain. With his army of dark wizards and dark creatures at his command, Voldemort launched an assault against the British Ministry of Magic with the intention of toppling it and creating a new world order run by pure-bloods, with Muggle-borns either killed en masse or kept in utter bondage, and Lord Voldemort himself as an immortal leader, though likely ruling from behind the scenes. To achieve these ends, the Death Eaters and their allies (including the particularly destructive Giants, who services Voldemort often used whenever he and his followers wished to go for the grand effect and were responsible for some of the worst atrocities against the non-magical) began openly carrying out attacks on Muggles for sport and to show chaos.

Lily's POV :

It has been two weeks from when I received the Hogwarts letter. Sev too received the same last month. Tomorrow we will be going to Diagon alley to buy my first wand and stuff along with Tuny's 3rd year stuff. Sev has already bought everything with his mother last week. Tuny is happy as now I will be going to Hogwarts too.

Tuny is writting a letter to Lucius asking for his advice as she has to take new subjects this year. She has been writting to him whole summer but still can't write about her feelings. Says that she will tell him in person.

I finally got my wand and now I will come here every year. I liked the goblins in the bank. They kinda felt cute. Tuny says that I will be a Hufflepuff. Sev says I should be Slytherin. I don't have any choice though. Anyone will be great.

Today I am finally going to get to Hogwarts. Me and Petunia waved back merily to our parents. Petunia then went to her friends. I was searching for Snape and then I found him.He told me to better be in Slytherin. But then a boy came and said that Slytherin is the worst. He introduced himself as James Potter. He was with his friend Sirius Black who said that his whole family has been Slytherin and he might be the one to break the tradition. Then I , Sev , James and Sirius sat in a compartment where there was a boy in shaby clothes. He was Remus Lupin. Then we were joined by Peter Pettigrew.

Petunia's POV :

We reached Hogwarts. Lils and Sev will be coming through boats. Me Myra and Alice were in one carriage. This was gonna be my third year here. And now I have to say Lucius the truth. I can't hide it anymore as Lils is here and even Sev. How could I lie now... No I have to tell him the truth.

Pr.Dumbledore gave the speech about Voldemort, his attacks and how we must be united in such dark times. He also says that at this point we must not trust anyone blindly. Then the sorting ceremony began.

Lils has been sorted into Gryffindor while Sev is in Slytherin , I thought at least one them will be in Ravenclaw but nope. Then I glanced at Slytherin table. Lucius was there but he seemed upset. Must be because of his father.
After feast Lily came running into me but I stopped her as I saw Lucius was seeing me. I told her we will meet tomorrow. She agreed. Lucius was now perfect and it's his O.W.L. year. He will be busy this year.
Next day I found Lucius at the library, he was upset. "Are you ok?" I asked. " No my father had forced me to be deatheater. I met him last week. " He replied. " You mean that You know who ?" I asked. " Yes, he is horrible, he says that I am his biggest supporter as dad has led him control over the ministry. He thinks that I will be his most loyal servant." He answered. We talked for an hour. I even missed Divination class. " Who was that girl though?" he asked. " She was my neighbour at some point." I lied. How can I tell him the truth when he needs my support the most. The truth must wait. Then we left for classes.
After that when I was in ground, some Slytherin students called me. " Prewett , meet our new friend - Severus Snape " one of them said. Oh oh Sev must have understood that I lied what if tells everyone. But no he gave me handshake just like he met me for the first time.
Later that evening I explained him everything but not that I like lucius. He agreed to me but says that I should tell Lils the truth before she gets to know from someone else. Yes he was right. If I don't tell her the truth it will create problems.
