    Summary

    The Statute was built for doors. Time, as my Muggleborn friends keep trying to explain, is increasingly fond of Windows.

    In 1998, the war against Voldemort ended. Allegedly, in 2017, all was well.

    Hogwarts, 2006. The war is over. The castle is still standing. The staircases still try to kill people. Muggle Studies still thinks the 'internet' is a type of cauldron. The ethics curriculum? Still designed for medieval dueling disputes. And yet.

    Widdershins Weekly arrives monthly, anonymously, charmed to look like scrap parchment and packed with satire. And a cross-house group of misfits are beginning to ask inconvenient questions, such as "Is our entire society held together with Spellotape and siege mentality?"

    ---

    "I simply- Professor, I understand the reasoning of the Statute. But what if it is no longer sustainable? Not only ethically. In practice?"

    "Unsustainable? Why wouldn't it be sustainable?"

    "Do you really think Muggles won't... outpace us in remembering? Sharing? That they'll never figure it out in enough numbers to make stopping it ridiculous?" She shrugged. "You can't obliviate the world."

    ---

    Book 1 of the Widdershins & the Contraries series.
