Prologue
The days following the defeat of Voldemort were nothing as one would have expected them to be. Instead of chaos and panic, there was peace and order. All this was achieved due to the late Albus Dumbledore. Even after his death, he had helped the Wizarding world. The wise, old wizard had made an artifact and hid it with the Weasleys. This artifact resembling the Goblet of Fire had helped select the members of the ministry. Once the position in the ministry was written on a piece of paper and put in the goblet, it would spew the name of the person that was most capable of the job.
Within three days after the war ended, the Ministry of Magic was stabilized with Kingsley Shacklebolt as the Minister of Magic. Arthur Weasley was the Head of Department of Muggle Relations. Percy Weasley was appointed as the Deputy Minister of Magic. Many other members of the Order of Phoenix also held prominent places in the ministry. With the ministry stabilized, the death-eaters and everyone who was associated with the Dark side were rounded and were either impending trial, sent to Azkaban or given the Dementor's kiss. Justice was served quickly and swiftly.
During the trials, a shocking discovery was made. Many prominent families that were known to be associated with the Dark side were actually under the imperius curse. Families like the Malfoys, Zabinis, Parkinsons, Sawants and Notts were found to be under the curse. Not only was the curse placed on the heads of these families but also on their spouses. This aided Voldemort to control all the family members who did not want to be excluded of the family's riches or removed from the family. This news made headlines for several weeks. These families were under the imperius curse for many years and were only able to break free after all of the Dark Lord's horcruxes had been destroyed. These families were few of the people who even after being associated with the Dark Lord were not only found innocent but were also given their old jobs at the ministry back to them.
The students of Hogwarts were all called back to complete their education. Many new first years had also come to Hogwarts and a majority of them were muggle-borns. House unity was stronger than ever in Hogwarts. The only discrimination still existing between students was in regards to their capability and talent. Not many of the Slytherins had returned. But the ones who had returned were welcomed with open arms. Professor McGonagall had been appointed as the Headmistress of Hogwarts. Professor Bill Weasley had been appointed as the head of Gryffindor house and was appointed to teach Defense against Dark Arts. Professor Slughorn, Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout remained the heads of the Slytherins, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff house respectively.
Though nobody could forget the events of the war and how it affected them, they made a conscious effort to move on and try and live their life in the newly found peace. Grudges were dismissed and precious moments with loved ones were treasured. All that Voldemort worked for was undone in a matter of few months. All in all, everything was looking up for the Wizarding London.
