Chapter 1: The 'Assignment'

Dear Hogwarts Student,

This is your seventh and final year at Hogwarts. Usually you would be taking you NEWTs exam this year but the Ministry are going to be trailing a new type of testing this year for the seventh years. None of the teachers or the Headmaster understands the purpose or outcome but the Ministry are certain it will help you in later years. Do not bother asking questions because they will most likely come with no answers.

This year all seventh years will be taking part in a kind of 'assignment'. You will be transported into a magical simulation of a certain time period; future or past. In this time period you will have no memory of the present and only know of what era you are in. You will be given a role to play and if you successfully play that role to some extent you will be given a score and a grade by the spell, which transported you there.

You may be thinking that everyone will pass with flying colours but when being transported you will loose your memory and replaced by a new memory but your attitude, appearance, and your general/natural behaviour will stay the same. If you and another student are sent to the same era, time, place and location and you two happen to bump into each other you may interact. It is somewhat hard to explain written or verbally about this as it becomes clear once the spell is done.

This assignment will last a year and once your time is up the spell will recover you. You will be able to remember your experience in the assignment as soon as you are recovered. Throughout the year your body will be in a daze. Once transported the spell will notify us of where you have been chosen to go. You will be placed in a sort of time line. Eg: if you were transported to the 1920's but another person was sent to 1876, you would be placed after the person, like I said earlier it's hard to explain.

You will not need to bring any belongings this year. That is all I can say. You are not allowed to tell anyone about the assignment, as it is a type of trail.

Sincerely Professor M. McGonagal.
