THEORY OF MAGIC By Remake
Harry and Hermione Potter Nee Granger were just getting settled near the latest and final clue in their quest of discovering lost magics. There wasn't even a peep from the couple as they started their usual routine of setting up the tent with a familiarity that only came from years of being together. Comfort charms, Anti-Portkey and Apparating Jinxes, Enough Repelling and Defensive wards rendering the small deceptive tent the most well defended magical dwelling short of old family manors. Finishing the assembly of the tent the most famous couple of the wizarding world, two-thirds of the golden trio settled for the night drinking hot cocoa by the fire place snuggling with each other.

Unlike many of his friends' life for one Harry Potter truly began once he was dead. The self-fulfilling prophecy Neither can live while other survives became literally true for him. Starved and neglected in his childhood, introduced into a magical world without any knowledge at eleven, faced blood thirsty monsters and terror inducing adventures which ended in a historic showdown in a final battle. The entirety of his adventures which inspired many books were only the start of a legend that eclipses the works of many of his predecessors like Albus Dumbledore and talked about with the likes of Nicholas Flamel. Hermione Granger on the other hand was brought up care and love in the household of Grangers who were common dentists. Born with an eidetic memory the small bushy haired girl grows up to be the premier authority on magical theories. It stands to the greatest irony of all time that the ordinary muggle born girl will discover so many forgotten traditions, festivals, rituals that leave her pure blood counterparts seething with jealousy. The pair of the golden trio were not the only people that go on to receive wide spread acclaim after the war. Ronald Weasley called Ron starts working with his elder brother George and ends up making WWW (Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes) one of the most successful magical companies of all time. Neville Longbottom once a timid stout boy goes on to discover 15 new uses of existing magical plants before going on to become the youngest professor at Hogwarts and eventually running the venerated institution. Parvati Patel in fashion, her sister as professor of Runes, Lavender Brown in Journalism, Susan Bones as Head of DMLE so on and so forth ended up running the wizarding world. Ginny Weasley became the youngest ever chaser to start for the Harpies and eventually leading the team to one of their most successful seasons yet. While childhood romances forged in the heat of moment faded soon enough, The friendships created in the war lasted a life time. The Weasley's needed their privacy and huddled together after the loss of Fred and Harry refused point blank to abandon Hermione to search for her parents alone. While it created tensions in the short term eventually the golden trio reconciled among a lot of gossip fueled speculations and settled into their respective fields. Harry discovered his need for adrenaline and Hermione her passion for learning everything about the wizarding world. When he is not visiting his most pampered godson Harry travelled the world with his partner Hermione discovering lost magics, dealing with dark wizards and basically enjoying his life. Once Hermione reconciled with her parents they took a break year resting and Harry catching up with his academics. He then started a life time of adventure which eventually proved every false book written about him true. He and Hermione became a terrific team with him eventually proposing in a lost pharaoh's tomb after five years of dating and another happy marriage for the next twelve. Their compelling journey finally brought them to the final abode of Master of Magic Merlin himself.
There are many varied theories regarding Merlin's supposed capabilities. To say he was a genius is a gross understatement. But the amount of research he produced in the number of fields along with the amount of adventures he had is always baffling. Time-turners though existing for a few decades are a relatively new invention have the problem of aging the person the amount of time for which it is used. The most accepted theory for his capabilities is that he found the mythical sands of time. Unlike the turners made with sands from pixie dust the true sands of time are supposed to be the perfect way of time travel. The user of the sands of time unlike the time turner can travel to any point in the history of time with all their knowledge and blend perfectly into the fabric of time. Considering the secrecy, around the wizard and his life there is no other way of debunking the myth.
Coming back to our heroes Harry and Hermione Potter are relatively very happy with their lives and very proud of their achievements. Their society is fairly run with little to no corruption. Brilliance in any field is widely encouraged and children are treated as the treasures they are. Racism of any kind is widely discouraged, and their society is a golden age for the wizarding world if not for its impending collapse.
The ending of second wizarding war brought upon by the efforts of the order of phoenix and the Dumbledore's Army changed the way of life for the entirety of the wizarding world. Too much dependence on too few men for the entirety of the last three decades and Ministry's own devices to keep their power left a once flourishing world in a state of complete decay and Correcting the problems of their society took a lot of work from the entirety of their class irrespective of their house or blood. Unlike the first war which ended with the Wizengamot firmly in the control of the so called Dark side upon the deaths of very prominent light pure blood families like Fawcett's, McKinnon's, Fawley's the second war made following the old ways almost criminal. Where the decade between the two wars caused almost all the muggleborns to return because of the rampant blood purism the aftermath of second war did not fare any better. The previously imperioused purebloods were all sent to the veil for their atrocious actions during the second war and muggleborns came to control the government for the first time. While this brought upon a lot of quality changes desperately needed for their society it was also a little too late. Wizarding world lacked the numbers it needed to survive. It took a good part of fifteen years for the society to correct its previous problems and finally discover the problem of numbers.
Widespread ignorance of muggle innovations and aggressive muggle land development in the muggle society in the last three decades caused destruction of many a magical species and ley lines. With the speed of change of Wizarding world being relatively slow compared to its muggle counterparts by the time the effects were realized it was a little too late. With every species of magical beings, every bit of territory lost the very ley lines that spread magic were being lost. At the time of realization enough ley lines have been lost to threaten the very existence of wizardkind itself. Fewer and fewer wizards muggle born or otherwise are being born every even in the muggle world problems began to spread. As if problems like Over population, pollution and global warming are not enough leaders like Trump and Kim jong un began to threaten the world with another nuclear war. The ICW then began a series of actions to anyhow stop this spread while assembling the best minds around the world to find any solution to the existing problem. It was then they again began to run into politics of being with muggles. The ICW members then began to argue themselves between destruction control or finding peace with muggles with no end in sight.
Of the people assembled Harry and Hermione potter loved their new society too much to let it be destroyed by the actions of their predecessors. It was a society they were proud to be part of and one they hoped to raise their children in. It was built upon blood and sweat of hundreds of witches and wizards that worked together and they knew they got everything right but for time. Ending the war a little earlier, giving the wizarding world a little push may be a decade earlier would have been enough to stop the problem altogether.
The lack of time while For some is an insurmountable obstacle, for witches and wizards of their capability it is another impossible quest to finish. Thus began their journey to find the mythical Sands of time and they almost reached their goal to the edge of the tomb of Merlin.
