This site is dedicated to the time after the second war with Voldemort. There is still and evil presence about and while the Death Eaters are scattered they are starting to collect together again.
While this is gonging on there seems to be a strange gathering of odd magical beings centered on Hogwarts (hence Hogwarts Gathering).
Severus Snape lived though through a painful recover, was pardoned after a lengthy trial, and is now Head Master of Hogwarts. The school is ill staffed as many of the instructors chose not to return or perished during the war. Many of the students also chose not to return and some of the seventh year students who missed out on their last year are returning to makeup what they missed.
Hogsmead is growing with the Gathering and you will find more and more people and other beings there as well.
If you wish to resurrect other cannon characters please contact Severus and discuss it in a PM. Any other magical being you wish to bring in also discuss with Severus. For any 'supper' powers you give your characters you must also have vulnerabilities.
