The year is 2050. Voldemort has been deceased for over fifty years, and all known traces of the Death Eaters and the war have long since gone dry. The years, up until several years ago, had been fairly peaceful for the wizarding world, with the exception of the occasional renegade who needed a good long trip to Azkaban.




Then things started to happen. At first, it didn't seem like anything that needed to be worried about. Probably just a couple of renegades, or a few wizards messing around with the wrong kind of magic'. The first hint was the increasing levels of muggle disappearances, and murders.

It was only in North America when it started in 2043, but the killings quickly spread to South America Asia , Africa, The Middle East and finally, in recent months, throughout Europe; only Australia, Antarctica and Greenland, remain safe. The muggle world is currently in high-security havoc, and though the wizards are aware that something fishy is going on, many are still entirely in the dark about the current happenings.

However, some have become privy to the truth, whether by word of mouth or by meeting a member themselves - there is a new cult in town. It has been slowly developing for the past decade. Though the exact name of the group and its member list - which is certainly long - as well as their 'purpose' is thus far unknown, it can be assumed that it has something to do with ridding the planet of those 'muggle parasites'.

Unfortunately, though no 'weather attack' has struck a wizard-only community, several of the larger areas infested with both wizards and muggles have been hit, causing casualties to both. Terror levels are escalating, and with no idea what is going on, wizards are beginning to turn on one another.

Occasionally, a cult member will be captured and brought into the ministry, but so far only two of several dozen have been convicted of any sort of crime against wizard and human kind. Is the Ministry of Magic in on this deal, or are the wrong people being brought for justice? With wizards who think that the slaughter of muggles is a good idea, neutral parties, and those strongly against it, no one really knows who's on the 'right side'. Or what side will 'win'.

Alexander Naples, 2049 (Sketch by Antonio Kenchin, based upon eyewitness memories)

Last night, a representative from the Department of International Magical Cooperation reports, fugitive and Public Enemy No. 2, Alexander Naples was sighted and pursued by Aurors and Parisian Secret Police (the French equivalent of Aurors) in the high streets of Downtown Paris last night at 2:15 AM, local time.

According to the press release provided by the Department, intelligence from French authorites had reported numerous sightings of Naples in downtown Paris, turned in by concerned wizarding citizens. The International Magical Commission for Law and Order, a cooperative organization created to aide the enforcement of international laws and catch and detain criminals wanted across the globe, had recently upgraded Naples to a Class 2 to Class 1 International Suspect, and took this intelligence very seriously, organizing a task force of French and British magical law enforcement officials of the highest caliber in the hopes of bringing Naples to justice.

According to sources, after staking out what was believed to be Naples place of residence for the entire day, the Aurors and Secret Police moved in around 2:00 AM, blasting open the door to Naples' flat, finding it barren and empty. Almost immediately afterwards, reports an eyewitness, the flat was engulfed in an inferno of fiendfyre, a trap laid by the cunning Naples. Leaving a good number of the task force distracted and incapacitated, it appears Naples sought to make his escape at this point. However the commission had planned for such an eventuality and had cordoned off all exits within a 2 mile radius.

Naples was sighted by a pair of Aurors as he attempted to flee down a narrow side street and immediately pursued, and soon what remained of the commission was chasing Naples through the streets and alleyways of Paris, firing curses and countercurses and causing a great deal of damage. The pursuit came to a swift end however, when having given chase for 15 minutes, he propelled himself across the River Seine and caused a massive eruption in the river, dousing the surrounding area and leaving a large crater. In the course of the nights events, 2 Parisian Secret Police and 1 Auror were killed by Fiendfyre, with 10 other members of the commission in St. Mungo's for severe magical burns, and 6 other commission members sustained injuries in the pursuit.

Alexander Naples is considered highly dangerous by the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Naples is a noted serial killer and is thought to be responsible for the deaths of nearly 63 people, including 4 Aurors. Little is known about the circumstances of Naples' killing spree, that has spanned 16 years sporadically. In 2034, following the death of his wife, and the gruesome murder of his son, Naples was found in a small hamlet approximately 15 miles from his home torturing and magically dismembering two men, both known werewolves. When confronted by Magical Law Enforcement Officials, he attacked, and killed all on the scene.

As time went on Naples has murdered a number of wizards and muggles, and is often responsible for the deaths of any Law Enforcement Officials sent to pursue or apprehend him. Sources say according to current intelligence, he seems to be returning to Britain for the first time in 7 years. Citizens are advised to be on their guard to report any sightings of Alexander Naples. He is most likely do be mad or deranged, and should not be approached, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Naples is incredibly skilled in powerful and explosive dark magic, has been known to take hostages, and is a supremely competent Legilimens. If sighted, do not attempt to report this sighting until he has moved a safe distance from the area, the Ministy advises.

In these dark times with crimes against wizards and muggles alike on the rise, and mysterious happenings across the wizarding world, the Ministry's latest bungle is yet another blow in the public's already waning support for our government. It is up to each witch and wizard to be on the lookout for their magical brethren and to keep each other safe.
