It has been some time since the Dark Lord made himself known to the Austrian wizarding world. His DeathEaters have been roaming the earth, striking fear in the hearts of wizards and muggles alike. The Ministry’s across the world are turning to Austria for help, for advice on how to take care of their unwelcome guests. Minister Wagner has been newly appointed with the hopes that he will find a way to rid the world of the Dark Lord and his DeathEaters. He brings with him a fresh perspective and a good track record of completing anything he sets his mind to. This change in leadership has Austrians excited, hoping that soon they will be able to walk out of their homes without any concerns of a Dark Lord, no wondering where he will strike next, if at all.
Because that is the question on everyone’s mind. It has been a year since the Dark Lord himself has made an appearance, since he has launched a large attack on the world or made an attempt at overthrowing the Ministry. Most people have assumed he was in hiding, allowing his DeathEaters to do his dirty work. However, as the activity of the DeathEaters slows, rumors are spreading that the Dark Lord has resigned himself from destroying the Ministry. Even his DeathEaters are beginning to grow tired of wreaking havoc with no end game. Is he trying to lead the wizarding world into a false sense of security with the recent calm or has the Dark Lord really left?
Only the DeathEaters now know the truth. There is a new Dark Lord. Godfrey Dunhill has taken his place as Dark Lord, overthrowing the inactive Darren Morgan. Even though he has just come to power, he already has a plan in the works. Soon he will make his name known. Soon he will show the wizarding world across the globe that he has no intentions of losing. But what does he want? What is it that he’s looking to gain? And, the ultimate question. What side of this battle will you choose?
I'm sorry my owl could not reach you before the letter your father sent. I had to write this in secrecy and borrow an owl from your Aunt Leonora.
I wanted to let you know that I do not approve of what your father is trying to do. He has not been himself lately. I do want you to know that Allen has been around alot lately, and of that I do not approve of either. Not after how he treated you. Your father acts like he did nothing improper and treats him like, well. Not unlike he treated him before you left home.
I love you, dear, and I want you to be happy, but I don't know how to get around what your father wants. Please, just come home and we can try and work things out after graduation.

Mother,
There was never any doubt that the 'we' to which your husband referred to did not include you. For all I know he could have meant Allen, seeing as how I hear they're so chummy lately.
But honestly mother, Allen? After what he did to me? I have half a mind to.. well, nevermind. I will not speak of such things. Just know that I love you and I miss you terribly. I would like to see you, but at the sake of seeing father, I dare not visit any time soon.
I'm sure you know by now that I will not follow his orders and come home after graduation. I'm not sure what my plans are, but I will manage. Please, do not worry about me and no matter what happens, don't mention me to father.
Love,
Gill

Please, do not go against your father. I can't tell you how horrible it will be for all of us involved if you disobey his wishes. He hasn't been in the best frame of mind these past few weeks. He hasn't confided in me as to what its all about, but from what I gather from the help he has gotten in over his head with a local bookie.
Your father is the most stingy thing I have ever seen. I'm smarter than he thinks, but he would never admit to that.
Oh listen to me now, going on about my problems. I'm so sorry honey. But please, listen to me and do as your father asks. Things will work out, dear. I'd love to have you home.

Mom,
Don't worry about dad, I have a feeling things will be resolved soon. I don't plan on coming home but I do need to talk to father. Any clue as to where he will be this week? I mean, is he planning on going out of town or will he be in his office?
I won't be able to come by the house, so I will apologize in advance. Maybe soon we can spend some time together. I miss you.
