Its important to read the setting your roleplaying in, so I have made this thread to explain the setting of PA.
The year is 2025, but that hardly has much to do with the setting. Its not like your role-playing in a futuristic planet. The muggle community has advanced but then, so have wizards. Wizards are now less clueless to the muggle customs and have even adopted some of them. The purebloods are dying out and an increasing number of wizards are half-bloods.
As we're onto the second plot, where Voldemort is gone, the wizarding community in Britain are far better off. People are enjoying their lives that are no longer cursed by Voldemorts shadow. However, some people are still worried that the Death Eaters are not totally gone, and the corrupt ministry is not doing enough to get rid of them once and for all. However, despite this odd bunch, the majority of people are enjoying the freedom that they were denied during Voldemorts reign.
At Hogwarts, it is a different story. With the new Headmaster, Vincent Majere, being very demanding of the students, who are constantly not living up to his expectations. Troublemakers are punished horribly, and under performing students are expelled without hesitation. Though Hogwarts is still not quite how it was under Dolores Umbridge, it is beginning to look like that.
