Amicus Draconis: 1st Cycle - Cycle of the Badger

In the Trio's seventh year, the wizarding world has lost its second war against the Dark Lord. The Death Eaters conquered Hogwarts, defeated the Order of the Phoenix, and overthrew the Ministry of Magic. Forming a new government with Voldemort as the supreme ruler, they take control of Wizarding Europe spreading terror and destruction everywhere. Harry and his friends are forced into hiding, but far from giving up hope they form their own secret rebellion trying to save as many people as possible. In four cycles, Amicus Draconis tells the story of a world shattered and rebuilt throughout three wizarding wars, of two masterminds moving people like figures on a chessboard, and a boy torn between his destiny and his one true love.

Ophelia believes herself an ordinary little girl until one night, strange black-robed people kill her mother and take her away from her home. Who is this mysterious Dark Lord they serve, and why does he order them to kidnap little children? Rescued by Harry Potter and the rebels of New Hogwarts, she finds herself caught in the middle of a war she doesn't understand. What is "New Hogwarts" anyway and what are they fighting for?

“Coming up next on AD: Episode 2: Encounter at Hogwarts!”

Voldemort and his followers had such a simple view of the world, such clear categories about who deserved to live and who didn’t. The method behind the madness made it all the more cruel. This was not about children learning curses; this was about children being desensitized at a young age, being taught to hurt and kill without mercy. Did Voldemort hate Muggles so much because he had been treated badly by them as a child? Or was it because the pure-blooded Slytherins had taunted him during his time in Hogwarts? How on earth could anybody become such a psychotic madman? Once again Harry wondered how much the Death Eaters knew of their Dark Lord’s past.

In Episode 3 (AD, not Star Wars *g*) New Hogwarts plans a very unusual Quidditch match. Featuring lots of Merpeople, a disgruntled Chieftain Murcus, an impatient Voldemort, a secret ring, a Ravenclaw with boy troubles, and Harry speaking in poems.

“Imagine, there’s a close friend," Lisa began. "You’ve known each other since childhood and you always felt comfortable around him, even when you two were fighting. And then, suddenly, everything changes. You develop feelings for him … what do you do?”

The Death Eaters plot a new scheme – will Harry and his friends arrive in time to save innocent lives? As the Blood Legion raids Diagon Alley, Macnair makes Draco a tempting offer to accelerate his career. An offer he can't refuse?

Diagon Alley in Flames – but what are the Death Eaters searching for? Will Harry and his friends be in time to save Madam Malkin and Mr Ollivander? What are Harry and Hermione hiding from Ron? Who betrayed the Death Eaters? Is someone playing both sides against the middle? Who is meant to receive the mysterious new wand Ollivander is working on? And what does Tod Macnair’s beautiful girlfriend have to do with all of this?

Hermione Granger, 18, witch, Headgirl. Bridget Hanson, 19, Muggle, shopgirl. What do these two young women have in common? Not much, but while they struggle with everyday things like mutinous students, nagging customers, gossip and boy troubles they’re caught up in something much bigger; a mysterious scheme plotted by a top-ranking Death Eater. Click. The trap closes.

Bridget, a young Muggle, lost her best friend to a Death Eater attack that was originally intended for her. Now she’s thrown headfirst into the wizarding world, having to deal with strange witches waving wands about, nightmares (literal ones), more Death Eaters attacking her and a boyfriend who isn’t who he pretends to be. Will he do his best to save her, or is he the one who wanted her dead in the first place? And if not, who was behind the attack and for what reason? Is there anybody she can trust at all?
