The Golden Trio embark on their sixth year with wands at the ready. A second war begins to thicken and tension seeps across the wizarding community. Werewolves gather in the deepest shadows of the Forbidden Forest, instructed by the Dark Lord to attack any who should refuse him. Purebloods test their reign upon those of mixed and muggle blood. As the Death Eaters unite, only one place harbors any true safety-Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But is it so safe as once believed? Muggleborns are beginning to become scarce-vanishing from existence without a trace. Some wonder if another basilisk haunts the school-but Harry Potter already killed one, didn't he? Or when Harry came out from the Chamber of Secrets did he leave out one key detail? Others speculate that a Death Eater has infiltrated the grounds and is murdering the muggleborns-after all Dumbledore seems weaker this term, and his hand is all burnt. Can the students trust at all?

Worse Than Death is an AU Harry Potter role play set in the trio's sixth year. Canon and originals are welcome. We're brand new and offer lots of canon characters.
