alright – contest time!

alright, what you’ve all been waiting for!  our plot -- enjoy.

as much as individuality is preferred culturally in society, there comes a time in every person’s life where they want to be treated just the same as the person next to them. growing up with a foot on both sides of the magical and non-magical world, muggleborn edwards barrows grew tired of hiding his true life from his friends and family who were commonly known as “non-maj” because of the various laws of secrecy regarding magic and the entire wizarding world. now some say -- that it was honestly a spur of the moment decision on what happened next. apparating one morning to macusa, edward barrows went to register as a candidate for the election of 2016.  but something was different, edward barrows stated that he didn’t want to just be president of macusa, but rather he wanted to join together “this great nation”, as he stated; and reveal magic to the “non-maj” and have the nation be considered as one, instead of two different forms of government in one country.

the wizarding community worldwide was shocked. reveal magic?! such a special quality in some that had been around since the near beginning of any civilization would now easily just be cast aside once publically known. or perhaps, there would be a massive witch hunt, it was known that non-maj clearly feared anything they couldn’t physically grasp – look at the salem witch trials for instance. it was just a fact that no one knew what could happen, and the unknown scared many. however, while just as many feared the idea of revealing magic, just as many longed for the idea.  the thought of helping so many with proper spells and charms for the sick, or even connecting families pulled apart from the lack of magic from one sibling to the next. the possibilities were endless. and with those possibilities brought hopefor peace with some.

only a short week after edward barrows started his campaign, a strange card was found pinned to his front door. old runes that translated to tumalt rasa, or the essence of revolt, though no one knew what the card meant or where it came from; it had easily been tossed in the trash at the end of the day. the next day, another card was found on the door of edward barrows; thistime, with a note. you will not ignore us. strange, but with the entire campaign starting, no one was phased with silly threats of nothing. and then there was a bomb. an explosion on the same block as macusa in new york, and while the authorities of the non-maj claimed that it was caused by faulty wiring in an old building, the aurors knew that it had been planned on purpose. the next day, another card had been pinned on edward barrows’ door. you cannot ignore us.

WASHINGTON, D.C.

While the Magical Congress of the United States of America was originally based at the Woolworth Building in New York; with the recent reveal of the Wizarding World for the first time since the Salem Witch Trials, the President of the Magical Congress of the United States of America has recently gone up for Presidential candidate over all of the United States, not just the Wizarding World; thus the decision was made to move the MACUSA to D.C. so that they would be on more equal grounds to their Non-Magi counterparts.

hello my darlings!  introduction time.  you know the drill, fill it out and love us.
