Hogwarts: Class of '98
Your letter came by owl, just like his did.
It's the summer of 1991. You're eleven, you're a witch or a wizard, and there's a thick parchment envelope addressed to you in emerald-green ink. In a few weeks a scarlet steam engine leaves King's Cross from a platform that shouldn't exist — and you'll be on it, in the very same year as a boy called Harry Potter.
History is different here: Gellert Grindelwald was pardoned by Dumbledore and lives in exile, and his twin children, Maeve (you) and Mason Grindelwald, are starting their first year at Hogwarts.
Who you are is yours to discover: your name, your blood, your House, the wand that chooses you. What you do with seven years is yours too.
- 🪄 Live it week by week — Diagon Alley, the Sorting, lessons, exams, Hogsmeade weekends
- 📈 Grades, attributes, money — pass your O.W.L.s, win points for your House, count your Galleons
- 💞 Fall in love — from third year on, any classmate is fair game
- 🐍 The plot is optional — wade in, or just enjoy school.
