Bio:

Taking a Mulligan
In the Spring of 1996, Albus Dumbledore was assassinated by Severus Snape, and the Wizarding world would never be the same again. In it's centuries of history, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had never seen such a horrific act of senseless violence committed on it's grounds, and it was immediately closed following the Headmaster's funeral. With the rise of Pius Thicknesse as Minister of Magic and the growing threat of outright war, too many parents refused to send their children back to Hogwarts to justify opening the school for the 1996-1997 school year.

So Harry, Ron, and Hermione still got to hunt for the Horcruxes and still got to be big damn heroes, ensuring that they had first pick of whatever future they wanted after the fall of Voldemort. But what about the other students who hadn't become household names in their time off from school? Well, there were a bunch of young Witches and Wizards who still hadn't completed their educations, or who were now a year behind. Despite that many were now of legal age, the Wizarding world was clinging to tradition in the wake of all the upheaval and many of the best jobs were closed to those who did not have NEWT levels.

After Professor McGonagall took over as Headmistress, it was easy for her to see there was only one solution available:

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is reopening in the winter of 1999, and those students who missed out are getting a change to have a do-over, to study for their NEWTS and plan their futures and try to have fun again after their lives have been changed so radically. They get to do all of this, of course, while the rest of the world tries to pick up the pieces and redefine what it means to be one society again. The Trio, despite their overwhelming opportunities, will be returning as well (mostly at Hermione's insistence), and will get a chance to see what a year at Hogwarts is like without having to save everyone's butts all the time.

The Headmistress has sent out the re-invitation letters. Will you be joining us?

Taking a Mulligan is a mostly canon RPG set seven months after the conclusion to Deathly Hallows. Our major divergence from canon is that Hogwarts did not reopen following Dumbledore's death. The game begins in December 1998, one month before the students are set to return to school following massive repairs and security measures. The game is set to run from December-June, and seeks to explore how students deal with finishing their final/penultimate year, studying for NEWTS, redefining their social circles, and try and just be students again while society is being rebuilt around them.
