A long time ago, a darkness came from the halls of Hogwarts - a darkness that would change the magical community forever. The rising evil threatened a generation and a way of life, only to be destroyed by a baby and the love of his mother. Years later, the darkness once again rose to power, but the Ministry denied its existence. They were fools, however. Thanks to the ingenuity of students and a select group of adults, the evil was vanquished. This story, though finished, marked the start of something new, a change that no one saw coming.
The ministry began to crack down. At first, the changes were positive or for the good of the community, such as the forced registration of Vampire and Werewolf containment. They began watching abilities more closely, scrutinizing them and another registration was put in place: Metamorphmagi, Seers, Veela. Next, the ministry started regulating what could be taught in schools. Obviously, any Unforgivable Curses were erased from books as well as some of the darker curses even though they were illegal anyways. This continued until there was practically nothing in the books on offensive magic and only texts that described purely defensive magic. Students were no longer allowed to duel. Magic used on another student without consent suffered far greater punishment. Lastly, a reward was offered - a reward of quite a bit of money for information on anyone practicing dark arts.
The Ministry refused to make the same mistake again to the point of paranoia. Social workers were sent to work all over the world: magical schools, business, cities and anywhere people of magic grouped together. Even Knockturn Ally was affected, constantly raided which forced the shops to either close down, or go underground. Thus, a new underground market was opened up, prices skyrocketing since most of the places the Ministry would turn a blind eye to were now closed down for it became illegal to sell anything related to dark magic including books, objects, spells... Anything at all could result in a prison sentence.
The Minister's paranoia is still growing. His fear of another evil as dark as the one that came almost twenty years ago consuming his sanity and his moral code of right and wrong. The Ministry is becoming the next threat, first to the guilty, then to the different and next to anyone who stands in their way. Remember, the Ministry is always watching and you are in their hands... Their Hands of Supremacy.
