As always, this is only a small portion of the plots - the most important ones, and since it's the summer, also a little flavor of what some of the characters did over the long holiday.

Hermione asks Harry's permission to check her suspicions about the Petrifying creature in the library, but before she can come back, she's Petrified herself, along with Penelope Clearwater. Ginny blacked out during the attack, but she was immediately taken to the hospital wing - it can't have been her. Amycus Carrow is apprehended for the attacks.
Sirius's main fake identity, Nigel Cullenden, was compromised. He had to go on the run.
Ron, Harry, Draco, and Pansy snuck out to the Forbidden Forest on a tip from Carrow. They met spiders - and Hagrid.
Regulus' behavior became self-destructive. Pansy worried - and theorized. The Order wondered whether it was staged, to draw Sirius out. A couple of little girls that looked like Pansy disappeared, and there were rumors. But Regulus just got stranger and stranger.
The Weasleys petitioned to adopt Luna, but were rejected. She was fostered with Lavender Brown's family instead.
Regulus died, apparently committing suicide. Walburga Black died too. Sirius fought Barty Crouch Jr. on the journals about it, and Pansy got into contact with him. It came out that yes, Regulus had been the murderer.
When Amycus Carrow's rat cages were knocked over, Sally-Anne took one of them as a pet - and figured out what he was researching.
"Her body will lie in the Chamber forever," and Ginny is missing (but soon found). Myrtle is concerned. Hydra's missing too - and Harry, Ron and Draco are AWOL, along with Professor Lockhart. Basilisk killed, Ginny OK, Terry and Hermione and Penelope (and unfortunately Moebius) awoken, exams canceled, all is once more well in the wizarding world. (There had previously been some hints about Hydra.) Well, except that Skeeter covered the incident in the Prophet.
The I Solemnly Swear lock began to realize that there's a resistance group out there, as they help Terry and Hermione hide their new wands. (The Order also found out a tiny bit about ISS.)
There was a camp uprising, quelled by Dementors. Subsequently, there was a large breakout from Azkaban. Some of the prisoners were recaptured, but not all - most significantly Snape and Macnair.
As the MLE search for Sirius hotted up, Bellatrix almost caught him - an almighty scare - but despite initial reports to the contrary, he managed to escape using his Animagus form, which helped shield him from a very dark curse. The official story is that he died evading capture.
The Ministry discovered that Frank and Alice Longbottom were still alive. Neville was forced to repudiate his parents. At the same time, the Order breached the wards - and Sirius jumped through, in dog form! So he's in the UK now, but not with the Order.
Percy Weasley took a summer job with Lucius Malfoy. Terry suspected that McGonagall was purposely letting him learn magic. Sally-Anne cared for the Strettons' young daughter. As Pansy's mother prepared to be remarried, Pansy learned more about her inheritance. Lana was inducted into the Daughters of the Protectorate and debuted - and began Auror training. Poppy and Pomona ran errands for the Order under cover of a vacation. Ernie moved into a new house. Neville and Ron socialized (along with others). Harry was frustrated with Buckingham. Hydra had a birthday and tea with the Lord Protector. Alice and Frank had a romantic weekend and got to see their children (!!!). Lucius' sister got married. Crouch Jr. practised dueling. Amycus toured the camps. Rabastan Lestrange ("the Razzer") became Harry's bodyguard.
The Young Protectors League had a trip to New London. While they were there, Sally-Anne and Pansy found a runaway Muggleborn and tried to help her - and Sirius gave the MLE a scare. The situation nearly exposed the ISS to Pansy and to the Order. Ultimately, they had to let Pansy into the ISS lock. The MLE questioned students that were at the scene. There was also a second trip - for students who weren't quite as desirable as the first group. Neville got beat up, to Sinistra's disappointment.
There was a surprise party for Harry's birthday. He had a spat with someone who insulted his parents. His birthday gift from his father was a private messaging system for everyone, on the journals. Ron got him a sneakoscope.
Percy got picked for Head Boy. Rabastan is the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher (and he wrote his first entry). Hydra wrote messages to the Lord Protector.
Sirius seems to be becoming a symbol of resistance - and he was recognized, even in disguise, though not exposed. Rumours of his aliveness abound.
Harry went on holiday, and while he was gone there was a Snape sighting near Buckingham. Dementors were put on Harry's protection detail.
Ginny requested to be transferred to Slytherin House, but was denied.
Sirius continued posting Grim Truths, at least until he "died": 5/21/93; 6/4/93.

Remember: this does not link to all or even most of the sub-plots and posts within them, only the largest and most significant for the through-plot of the game. To get the full game experience, you really need to read every day!

Below is not entirely in date order, as some plots overlap with others. Hopefully it will make sense, nevertheless.

The Ministry insisted that only Muggles and Muggleborns were ill (although the Order knew better). It seems that Casseiopeia Black recently died of something that may well have been the illness, and several other halfbloods or purebloods may be ill.
Amycus Carrow formed a NEWT study group for Transfigurations. When Sally-Anne walked in on one of their meetings, Lana Cruciated her. (Luna's response was very Luna - and she went through with it, out of curiosity.) Apparently Lana thought she was eavesdropping. Bellatrix approved. Harry didn't. Dean was reminded of the camps. Ernie was scared. The Board met to discuss the use of the curse at Hogwarts. Jeremy Stretton told Lana off over it.
Cornelius Fudge became Minister of Magic, taking over from Dolores Umbridge. A quarantine was instituted, as a result of the public pureblood illnesses. As a result of the restrictions, Tonks moved in with Remus. Eventually the quarantine tightened further.
Regulus tortured Xeno Lovegood, apparently over the Ravenclaw Diadem but possibly also over the Quibbler (and posted cryptically about his feelings about it). Xeno was reclassified as a halfblood with the disease, igniting anti-halfblood prejudice at Hogwarts.
Something strange happened in Transfiguration, and it seemed to be related to the Sally-Anne Cruciatus incident. The Carrows and Acton rearranged their classrooms to separate out the halfbloods. Eventually Ron got Cruciated by Alecto Carrow for complaining about the changes.
Lavender Brown made an ill-advised floo call; the restrictions on Hogwarts were tightened even more.
Dennis's magic manifested in a hail of scones - and it kept happening, all the time. Dennis was ashamed.
Somebody hexed Padma's hair off (she thought it was Ron) and certain Gryffindors made a scene in the Great Hall. It turned out that it was actually her comb that was hexed.
Moebius Ollivander tried to molest Hermione. The protective spell McGonagall put on her zapped him before he could do anything. Everybody agreed he was wrong, but sometimes for very different reasons.
The Ministry appeared to be researching a cure for the illness - but Bill suspected they were actually behind the illness, and so they were. Sirius revealed it, and McGonagall tried to pry. The official story is that Sirius was at fault.
Moebius was petrified and Dennis was killed by the basilisk, sending the castle into high alert. Ginny had another incident and people got suspicious.
An Order operative, Aloysius Archer, was caught and committed suicide. Moddey Dhoo created a memorial to Order members. His young relatives at Hogwarts had a hard time of it. Bill was interrogated (but eventually cleared).
Nymphadora fell ill, and Narcissa was concerned. The quarantine tightened yet further, restricting owls; Selwyn answered questions about it. Some students hoarded goods; in response, the prefects opened a shop to redistribute them.
On his birthday, Ron was cursed to respond to everybody who wrote in the journals. (Funny, but scary.)
The Order continued to prepare to try and get through the wards by sea.
The quarantine continued to impact daily life. Nymphadora slipped into a coma. Xeno was still inaccessible. Supposedly, the situation was improving (but not really).
Regulus got ever stranger, and Pansy grew ever closer to him. Eventually, Lucius encouraged them to back off from being friends.
Hermione snuck around after hours; Draco was weirdly nice to her. It became clear that she, Draco and Harry were brewing Polyjuice Potion to infiltrate one of the advanced Transfigurations study sessions.
Pansy and Regulus continued to communicate, but it wasn't quite the same. Regulus was summoned to Voldemort's presence.
Tonks was given an experimental cure, and woke up! The quarantine eased (owl post returned), and the Lord Protector came on a surprise visit to Hogwarts. Xeno Lovegood died (or was disappeared) and Sirius blamed Regulus.
Regulus was entrusted with a mysterious task, which he apparently finds distressing; Pansy frets. Padma's and Parvati's younger brother Sanji is missing. McGonagall cannot bring herself to believe the two things are related. After several days without news, he was found, and the news was very bad - very very bad.
Sirius continued to write Grim Truths: 1/17/93; 2/20/93.

Previously On Alternity: Year Two, Autumn Term
September 1 - December 31, Year Two (2009, realtime)

Harry and Ron made a rather dramatic entrance to Hogwarts.
Hydra Lestrange was sorted into Slytherin, Luna Lovegood was sorted into Ravenclaw, and we heard from Daphne Greengrass and Lana Sandoval for the first time. Dean took his placement exam.
Harry's mysterious problems with his journal over the summer - that he couldn't post at all - seemed to get fixed. This was due to the application of new journals. Fortunately, the Order Only and ISS locks still work.
Lana Sandoval, the Head Girl, instituted a loyalty oath. There were various responses. McGonagall had to prod the Gryffindors to sign.
Molly visited Moddey Dhoo, and while she was away Arthur was detained by the MLE (apparently due to Ron's involvement with the flying car).
Padma began hanging out in "Ravenclaw Corner," the equivalent of joining the Hogwarts Plastics (or at least the Ravenclaw Plastics).
Lupin began settling in to his new life, helping smuggle supplies in. His alias is "Junius Ponds."
Draco tried to make Hermione do more magic. (Unrelatedly, he also made the Quidditch team, and his father bought brooms for the team.)
The slug-belching incident happened; the new CoMC professor, Brutka, seems nice enough.
Regulus appeared to have some kind of secretive mission. Padma's brother Haruman saw a murder scene as an emergency mediwizard. Related?
Pansy became nearly as close with Regulus as Narcissa - and Regulus was negative about Sirius to her.
Neville's great-grandmother died, providing Alice with a way to spend an afternoon with him.
This year, Harry's class begins Muggle Studies. The prejudice against half-bloods became extremely clear as Prof. Carrow sabotaged Dean Thomas in Transfiguration (and also became steadily more horrible to Terry). Meanwhile, Binns preached near-sedition in History of Magic, prompting a special study club.. Students pushed to bring back the dueling club.
Sinistra continued to run the Young Protectors League, starting with a visit from Aurors. The second was a visit from a St. Mungo's Healer. The third was Charlie, as a dragon handler.
There was an outbreak of illness in the Muggle camps (complicating a pickup of some wizarding babies). Hogwarts also had a spate of illnesses, which scared a lot of people. Soon, there was a full-blown epidemic in the camps. Other wizards also start falling ill, though it's not clear that it's the same illness.
The Dean-Carrow situation came to a head when the ISS lock realized Carrow planned to Imperius Dean into giving Hermione his wand. They spelled Dean's wand to stick to his hand, and Terry spontaneously set a bunch of things ablaze; the situation is referred to as the "Fire and Mud Incident" and even makes the Daily Prophet. Partially as a result, Terry was temporarily reassigned to McGonagall and had a hard time adjusting.
Regulus, again, was secretive about a mission, and Pansy was sympathetic. Another murder happened. And Haruman found out that there were multiple murders when he had to testify about what he'd seen.
Lucretia Prewett, a relation of both the Malfoys and the Weasleys, passed away. Nymphadora was remembered in the will.
Hydra's origami rabbit Tex disappeared, and she got one named Tully. (And Tully eventually got mysteriously hurt.)
Hermione learned the Memory Charm, so they could begin to try and expand ISS. The new members had to post secrets to assure their sincerity: Neville, Ron, Sally-Anne and Sally-Anne again.
Ron and Harry and Draco went to the Deathday Party, the Halloween feast was in honor of the Fat Friar. They found Crookshanks petrified, which was worrying to all. Ginny did not feel like writing about the events. Rumors about the Chamber of Secrets abounded.
The epidemic in the camps progressed, beginning to affect Muggleborns as well - and the Sherwood Band too. One refugee at Moddey Dhoo got steadily worse. Arthur began to seriously see the effects in his job - heartbreaking.
There was a mysterious fire at the site of an old orphanage, full of traces of dark and blood magic. And there was more creepiness from Regulus.
At a Quidditch match, a rogue bludger nearly did for Harry. He and Draco were benched temporarily, and realized that it was Dobby doing it - a Dobby who seems to have gone mad. On the same day, the Heir of Slytherin struck again, this time freezing Terry and Sir Nicholas.
Regulus had yet another mysterious assignment. Madam Hooch's sister died "due to a rogue Bludger."
The refugee at Moddey Dhoo felt better. However, the epidemic continued, despite denials by the Ministry.
Regulus encountered Nymphadora at Remus' (er, Junius Ponds') shop and told Narcissa about it, giving everybody a good scare. They had to fess up to Tonks about the Order. Then Tonks' neighbor went missing - very scary.
Dueling club finally got started, with Lockhart at the helm, and everyone studied up. At the club, Harry used his Parseltongue - although it wasn't so much of a surprise in this world, people were still really scared.
Bobby Stebbins, the boy who it seemed like the snake was going after, was Petrified next. Ginny was found unconscious nearby. People immediately began to speculate about why one, and not the other, was Petrified.
Ron decided to stay at the castle for Christmas, and noticed the spiders all over (eventually he did reconcile with his parents). Draco also had to stay, because Harry did too. They couldn't even go to the Malfoy Christmas party. Hydra also stayed.
The Order learned a little more about the maintenance of the wards, and decided to try to breach them; it at least partially worked.
Sally-Anne saw something horrible: bodies lined up in a field. Looks like the epidemic has truly been deadly. And there's a secret ward at St. Mungo's for half-blood victims.
An incendiary article was placed in the Daily Prophet. The Ministry was furious.
Sirius continued to post Grim Truths: 9/1/92, 10/17/92, 11/14/92, 12/14/92; he struggled with their consequences, too.
Just as a note, throughout this term Luna, Hydra and Ginny all emerged as possible possess-ees.
