This is the story of the children of Harry Potter told though the eyes of Lilly, Albus, Rose and Leah. As the rebel army raises the strength and courage of our four friends is tested. Will the new defenses that Hogwarts has to offer hold out or will the students of the DA have to fight. We'll find out as Hogwarts undergoes its greatest obstacle to date!

1. Prologue

Prolouge; What has Happened Since the Second Wizarding War?

Hogwarts: Since the war Hogwarts has undergone some changes both in the timetable and structurally such as…

The Iron Decree signed: The Iron Decree was signed to insure that the ministry has minimal control over Hogwarts. This says that: the Ministry cannot place teachers in the school; the Ministry has no influence over the timetable and the Ministry cannot enforce laws that restrict students and teachers at the school. All the things that were just mentioned lie completely in the hands of the governing body of teachers at the school.

"The Central Tower" built: The central tower was built not long after the war in an effort to improve the defenses protecting Hogwarts. When activated by a small gem hidden in the castle it puts out two protective fields both the same both impossible to brake.

Turrets installed: Turrets have been installed around the walls of Hogwarts that release fire and other unpleasant substances at unwanted visitors when activated.

DADA excellence: Hogwarts now specializes in defense against the dark arts. As well as extra classes Dumbledore's army has become an official extra curriculum activity. The DA provides supplies and other defensive items. The DA as always is taught by a mixture of students and –once a week- Harry Potter. Thus Hogwarts has its own personal army as the DA has around 150-200 members all trained in DADA and know the evac routs.

The Stone Army: The stone army has been improved massively. There in at least four at each entrance and another 2000 or so in the large room that has been carved out underground for students the school is ever attacked. This underground room/army is top secret, if the school was attacked the army would march out of the room and the students would go in.

Uniform changed: The uniform changed to accommodate one/two wand holders. This was judged best so the students could reach their wands if they were ever attacked.

The Ministry also became an elected parliament and has developed an army for use if unrest was ever to grow.

A/N

I want this to be a logical progression from where JKR left it at the end of the Deathly Hallows. After a disaster like the war people don't just sit on their asses and pretend nothing happened, they change things, and I believe that these improvements are ones that people would've made had this happened I.R.L
