That I’m Up To No Good.

It's been quite a few months since the students have returned to Hogwarts, and a lot has happened since. With OWLs and NEWTs to worry about, it's easy to be unconcerned. However, there have been attacks within and outside of Hogwarts, making it appear as if no where is safe...not even Hogwarts is holding up to it's reputation of being the safest place to be. Parents and students alike are worried, and they, of course, have every right to be.
The Professors encourage the old routine, piling homework on the Fifth and Seventh Years especially in an attempt to prepare them for the ever-important exams they would have to take at the end of the year. The underlying worry and tension is hard to hide, however, and there's no mistaking the extra security in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. For the most part, it seems as if all is well, but everyone knows that saying - there's always a calm before a storm, and even Dumbledore himself is anticipating the storm that would surely be upon them as You-Know-Who continues to gain supporters. With everything so hidden, how can you tell who's your friend and who's your enemy?
The Order is growing, but so is You-Know-Who's army, and it's unclear which side is stronger. People are disappearing, and seemingly random and yet well-planned attacks are taking place. The uncertainty is far worse than the knowledge, but Professor Dumbledore is doing everything possible to stop the panic from spreading among the students, instead distracting them with the prospects of Quidditch season. There's no depleting the shadow of worry in the back of everyone's mind, and maybe it's better that way. This is definitely a time to be on guard, after all._________________________________________
