After the Battle
The Second Wizarding War ended with Harry Potter defeating Voldemort at Hogwarts. What followed was a brief period of grief and shock as the magical community took stock of their losses and came to terms with the damage. Then, curiously, a sense of optimism came over Britain; here was a chance to rebuild, and many came out of the war determined to create a better wizarding world.
Kingsley Shacklebolt took over as Minister of Magic, and Minerva McGonagall as Headmistress of Hogwarts. They began the effort to dismantle old conventions favoring purebloods, to strengthen bonds with magical communities in other countries, and to erase some of the wizarding world's most barbaric traditions. Dementors were banished from Azkaban, and laws were changed to grant some basic rights to other magical races, such as protecting house elves from abuse. Slow it may be, but the wizarding world was beginning to change.
Present Day
Two decades have passed since the Battle of Hogwarts, and a changing of the guard is at hand. Kingsley Shacklebolt steps down, and Muggle-born Hermione Granger takes up the mantle of Minister of Magic. Shortly after, Minerva McGonagall at last retires, and a new Headmaster begins his first term at Hogwarts.
A generation of young witches and wizards have grown up in the peace that followed the war. Those that remember the fear and suspicion of the previous decades may stay vigilant, hoping to spot any signs of danger before it's too late, but those born after it know Lord Voldemort and his followers only as characters in frightening children's tales. Only time and fate will tell how long such darkness will remain in the realm of history and imagination, or when it may rise again.
