IN THE MODERN WORLD, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "PEACE." THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC KNWS THIS- YET, EVER SINCE THE FALL OF THE DARK LORD IT HAS BEEN THEIR MOTTO. PEACE. IT'S ALL THEY APPARENTLY CARE ABOUT ANYMORE: KEEPING THE WIZARDING WORLD SAFE FROM ANOTHER UPRISING. FOR TEN YEARS, EVERYTHING WAS FINE. FOR FIFTEEN, LIFE WAS OKAY- EVEN IF PEOPLE WERE STARTING TO GET UNEASY. IT'S BEEN TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS NOW, AND THE MINISTRY IS STILL MAINTAINING THE IDEA THAT THE WORLD CAN BE PEACEFUL. TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING GOES ACCORDING TO PLAN, THEY'VE BEEN OBSERVING THE PUBLIC FOR THE PST TWELVE MONTHS. SPECIALLY TRAINED TEAMS WITHIN A HUSH-HUSH SUBDIVISION OF THE MINISTRY HAVE COME TO THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS ABOUT WIZARDING SOCIETY... AND PEOPLE AREN'T AS PEACEFUL AS THEY HAD HOPED.[/color][/i][/size][/font][/ul]
THE ANTITHESIS DOESN'T BELIEVE IN ANYTHING THE MINISTRY SAYS. THEY ARE GENERALLY RATHER PARANOID- AND ARE UNIVERSALLY PUREBLOODED. THOUGH "DEATH EATERS" NO LONGER EXIST, THEIR GRANDCHILDREN DO. WHILE THE MINISTRY PROMOTES THE IDEA THAT EVERY WITCH AND WIZARD IS EQUAL, THE ANITHESIS BRINGS TO LIGHT JUST HOW UNTRUE THAT IS; SINCE THE COLLAPSE OF VOLDEMORT, PUREBLOODS WHO HELD PRIDE IN THEIR ANCESTRY HAVE BECOME A TARGET FOR PEOPLE FULL OF RAGE ABOUT THE INJUSTICE THAT OCCURRED DURING VOLDEMORT'S REIGN. GROUPS OF THE ANTITHESIS ARE PREDOMINATELY PACIFISTIC... MAINLY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY'RE IN NO POSITION TO START A WAR. EVEN SO, YOU CAN HEAR THEIR ANGRY RANTS ABOUT SUPPRESSION. THERE ARE MURMURINGS OF AN UPRISING, BUT THE MINISTRY HAS NO REASON TO BELIEVE IT'S HAPPENING ANY TIME SOON.
DURING THE SECOND WIZARDING WAR, PEOPLE LIVED IN FEAR. BLOODTRAITORS, MUGGLEBORNS, SQUIBS- THEY ALL HAD REASONS TO WORRY. NOWADAYS, EVEN IF THE MINISTRY IS BOASTING EQUALITY FOR ALL, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY BELIEVE THEM. THEY'RE SCARED. THEIR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS FOUGHT NOBLEY DURING THE WARS, BUT THESE PEOPLE DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THAT. THEY HEAR THE RANTS OF THE ANTITHESIS AND FREAK OUT. UNLIKE THE ANTITHESIS, THEY HAVE THE NUMBERS TO ESCALADE TO VIOLENCE- AND THEY DO, OCCASIONALLY. THEY'RE NOT ALL CRAZY, BUT FEAR CAN DO BAD THINGS TO GOOD PEOPLE. THERE MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE ANYTHING TO FIGHT- YET- BUT THEY'RE READY... FOR JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. AND BELIEVE YOU ME, WHEN THEY START FIGHTING, THEY WON'T STOP UNTIL THEY'VE WON. NO MATTER THEIR LOSSES.
THE CRAZE OVER BLOOD PURITY DIDN'T GO AWAY WHEN THE DARK LORD FELL, JUST THE VIOLENCE SURROUNDING IT. BY FAR THE MOST PUBLIC AND VOCAL GROUP, THE ADAPTABLES DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE A NAME THAT THEY CALL THEMSELVES, SO THE MINISTRY JUST GAVE THEM A NICKNAME. WHY THE ADAPTABLES? WELL, THE ADAPTABLES ARE COUSINS OF THE ANTITHESIS- OCCASIONALLY LITERALLY. BUT WHILE THE ANTITHESIS LOOKS DOWN AT MUGGLEBORNS AND SQUIBS, ETCETERA, THE ADAPTABLES OFFER THEM A CHANCE TO CHANGE. THEY HOLD THEIR BLOOD PURITY HIGH ABOVE THEM- AND THEY WANT OTHERS TO BE ABLE TO FEEL HOW WONDERFUL IT IS TO BE PURE. THE ADAPTABLES TREAT BLOOD PURITY MORE AS A PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE, AND WILL TRY AND CONVERT ANYONE THEY THINK WOULD BE INTERESTED; BY PUTTING THEIR FAMILY ON A FIVE GENERATION PLAN TO BLOOD PURITY. SO FAR, THEY'RE NOT DOING SO WELL, AND THE MINISTRY DOESN'T SEE THEM AS A BIG THREAT.
OUT OF ALL THE GROUPS THE MINISTRY HAS WATCHED, THE CIVILIANS ARE THE MOST FAVORED. WHY? BECAUSE THEY LEAVE EVERYONE ELSE THE HELL ALONE. THEY'RE THE MOST LIKELY TO HAVE AWFUL LOVE TRIANGLES- MAINLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY IMPENDING REVOLUTIONS OR ANYTHING- BUT THAT REALLY ONLY HARMS THEMSELVES. FOR THE MOST PART, THESE PEOPLE JUST DO THEIR THING, WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE. AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT PROVOKED, THEY'LL STAY IN THEIR LITTLE TRACK OF LIFE, AND THEY'LL BE PERFECTLY HAPPY.
THESE PEOPLE DON'T SIDE WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE GOOD OLD MINISTRY- THEY'RE THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT THE WORLD CAN BE PEACEFUL. MOST OF THE TIME, THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO POWER... AFTER ALL, IF THEY HAD POWER, HOW COULD THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN PEACE? DESPITE BEING "THEIR OWN KIND" THE TEAMS OBSERVING EVERYONE AREN'T REALLY BIG FANS OF THE WORKER BEES. WHY? WELL, THEY'RE A BIT TOO SERIOUS MOST OF THE TIME... BUT AT LEAST THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM CAUSING ANY PROBLEMS. BECAUSE, AFTER ALL, THESE PEOPLE JUST WANT TO FIX PROBLEMS.
WATCH YOUR BACK- YOU NEVER KNOW WHO MIGHT BE WATCHING.
