The battle of Hogwarts was two months ago, Lord Voldemort has fallen and the entire wizarding world has a very melancholy expression. Yes you know who finally fell but so many died, so much blood was shed in this war and especially in the final battle.
Harry Potter was the hero, he slayed Lord Voldemort and ended the war. He got a very real look into what it is like to be an Aura, a look he didn't particularly like. Harry decided to go back to Hogwarts do another year of schooling and really decide what the next chapter in his life will be. He knew it would not be the same, so many deaths so many people changed for ever but the one thing revolving around his head the most was him and Ginny. The war changed the girl who once had his heart, mostly the final battle did. Once she lost her brother for whatever reason her and Harry never seemed to reconnect.
The year started pretty normally with one small small change put in by new Headmaster and diehard Quidditch fan Professor McGonagall. The Quidditch season that is normally three games for each house and the champion being decided by overall points scored would be restructured into a twelve game regular season and a two playoff rounds in which the first seed played the fourth and the second and third seeds would play in a best of three series and the two winners would play a best of five series for the championship. Nobody really seemed to mind this as the entire school loved watching the Quidditch matches.
On the first day of school the Gryffindor captain Harry Potter went in to talk about this new format with Professor McGonagall. "Professor why the dramatic change to the format and all the added games we've had a hard enough time playing an entire season the last seven years and now there are nine more matches to be played" "Well you see Potter nobody is trying to invade the school and kill you this time so i think we could make it work" "I guess you have a point Professor but their must be another reason for the drastic change?" "Ok Potter you got me, but you need to promise this stays between us for the next little while as this information is top secret." "Absolutely professor" "The ICWQC had decided they are going to host a World Junior tournament for anybody still in school and looking on entering the draft. This will help those students get looked at by scouts and have an opportunity to play with the best young players in the world. I am extending the Quidditch season here to ensure that the scouts from the English team get a good look at the talent we provide here at Hogwarts. Ohh and Potter i do think you should be running along now as you have to prepare tryouts" "Umm yes Professor i will um get right on that"
