Hogwarts has four unique houses for living and learning. Each House values certain traits and selects students that embody those specific traits. Throughout the school year, the houses compete for the House Cup, gaining and losing points based on actions such as performance in class and rule violations. The house with the highest end-of-year total wins and has its colors displayed in the Great Hall for the following school year. Each house also has its own Quidditch team that competes for the Quidditch Cup. Each House also has a Hogwarts staff member as they're Head of House. The Head of House are in charge of giving their students important information, dealing with matters of severe punishment, and responding to emergencies in their houses, among other things. Each house has it's own common room along with dormitories.

Many years after the end of the 2nd Wizarding War, many in the Wizard war have found peace. The death eaters that once wrecked chaos have almost all disappeared. No one speaks of 'He who shall not be named'. Tom Riddle is only a name in the history books now. Hogwarts, has been completely re built and renewed. The school is ready for the next generation of brilliant Wizards and Witches.
However, just like any school, secrets and tensions run about as high as the first years brooms. However, while everyone is studying hard the wizarding world is riddled in confusion and a sudden darkness. The ministry has been concerned with the number of recent disappearances, fearing a rising of Voldemort's remaining army.
Not even "Alohomora" can unlock all the secrets hidden beneath the walls of the castle.
Will Hogwarts be able to control the secrets and magic that hide inside?
