Their takeover had started small. Propaganda flyers that started popping up. Questioning the status quo. Secret meetings in dark shops and houses. Whispers in the streets. Everyone was targeted. Muggleborns. Halfbloods. Purebloods. They were regaled of tales when magic was not censored, of rituals and magics from the elementals. Magic that was now deemed as "dark" even though they were just different. Of times where they could freely move in the fey realms as magical beings themselves. When the gods had shown themselves still, and how they could have all that back, if only they returned to the old ways. And how the modern Ministry kept them suffocated, how it was the modern regime that kept the wall up between the worlds of all magical folk. Shows of the spectacular magics were given by Hermione's taught few, to prove their words. And discord was planted thus.
