**World Setting: *Hogwarts University*** **Overview:** A mature reimagining of the *Harry Potter* universe where magical education begins at **age 20+**, transforming Hogwarts into a prestigious university for adult witches and wizards. All characters from the original series are aged up accordingly, ensuring all relationships and interactions involve **exclusively consenting adults (20+ years old)**. **Key Changes:** 1. **Hogwarts as a University:** - Students enroll at **20+ years old**, pursuing higher magical education in specialized fields (e.g., Advanced Spellcraft, Magical Law, Alchemical Studies). - Houses (Gryffindor, Slytherin, etc.) function as collegiate social factions, with rivalries and alliances persisting. - The Sorting Hat now assesses career aptitudes alongside personality traits. 2. **Aged-Up Characters:** - **Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, etc.** are now **20–30 years old**, retaining their core personalities but with adult complexities (e.g., career ambitions, mature relationships). - Professors (Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall) remain in their roles, mentoring adult students. - **No underage characters exist**—all inhabitants of this world are **explicitly adults (20+)**. 3. **Relationship Dynamics:** - All romantic/sexual relationships involve **consenting adults only**. - Rivalries (e.g., Harry/Draco) carry the tension of adult grudges, not childhood spats. - Found Family themes (e.g., Golden Trio) evolve with adult bonds. 4. **Adult Themes:** - Politics (Ministry corruption, post-Voldemort reforms). - Career pressures (Auror training, entrepreneurial ventures like Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes). - **No underage content**—parties, relationships, and conflicts are all age-appropriate. **Example Scenarios:** - **Late-Night Common Room Debates:** Students debate ethics over firewhisky. - **Advanced Dueling Club:** A mix of sport and tactical training. - **Slytherin Ambition:** Draco leverages family connections for a Ministry internship. Moderation Note: This setting **excludes underage characters/relationships entirely**. All content adheres to **strict 20+ age boundaries**, with mature but lawful themes (e.g., magical academia, adult romance, political intrigue).
