"Imagine that Voldemort's powerful now. You don't know who his supporters are, you don't know who's working for him and who isn't; you know he can control people so that they do terrible things without being able to stop themselves. You're scared for yourself, and your family, and your friends. Every week, news comes of more deaths, more disappearances, more torturing… The Ministry of Magic's in disarray, they don't know what to do, they're trying to keep everything hidden from the Muggles, but meanwhile, Muggles are dying too. Terror everywhere… panic… confusion… that's how it used to be." —Sirius Black An in-depth tale of lives and deaths of Lily and James Potter.

Do you know how sometimes the clouds make waves in the sky? It's metaphor. We are all struggling and we are trying to keep our heads above the water but after all, the riptide is relentless.
