Narrator's POV
The war between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters raged on.
Battle after battle and raid after raid left each sides furious at the other.
Even with four out of eight of their generals down and half as many members, the Order was still holding off against the Death Eaters.
Dumbledore could commonly be found pacing in his office at Hogwarts trying to figure out how to defeat the Dark Lord and his Queen, often leaving his headmaster responsibilities to Professor McGonagall —who was a grey witch.
The Ministry of Magic still chose to remain officially neutral, but most of its employees had chosen a side —more often the not, the Death Eaters, and why wouldn't they?
The Dark Lord was fighting to keep their world safe from Muggles while Dumbledore wanted to let them in.
Lord Voldemort wanted to give every magical creature the same rights as witches and wizards while Dumbledore wanted the opposite.
The Dark Lord wanted to make all magic legal while Dumbledore wanted to make almost all of it illegal.
Lord Voldemort wanted to protect their ancient culture while Dumbledore wanted to destroy it to make room the culture of the Muggles'.

Currently, the Death Eaters were at a meeting trying to figure out how to end the war once and for all.
The Dark Lord's followers tossed around possible ideas to do so.
"Many from the Order will be at the Qudditch World Cup that's coming up, maybe if-" One Outer Circle member suggested before being interrupted
"Yes, but citizens will be there. If they get caught in the crossfire then the Ministry will join Dumbledore and we'll be hopelessly outnumbered." Another member critiqued, and others mummers in agreement
The Queen sat quietly, but his mind was anything but.
Hadrian absorbed the suggestions being thrown, while simultaneously nursing one of his own.
"I have an idea," The Queen said, causing instant silence "our side goes quiet —for two or three years maybe— make the Light think inner fighting got to us. While we're quiet, the Light's guard will go down, and when it does, we strike back. Hard."
"Brilliant." Several Death Eaters whispered
"What will we do in the silence, my Queen." A Death Eater asked
"Nothing. There will be no raids, no battles, let the Order believe the lie. Scowl at other Death Eaters in public, let them truly think fighting dissolved us. Go to work, go on vacations, reconnect with your families, anything. Just act like the Dark is no more." Hadrian answered
Another asked, "How will we know if Dumbledore believes it?"
"We have our spies." The Queen answered "Everything depends on you, Severus, fashion a believable story to the Order. Convince them."
"Albus does always say that we will be our own undoing." Severus muttered
"Good." Hadrian replied "Make him think that's what happened."
"Is the Queen's idea the one we will go with, my Lord?" Severus asked Tom, who was tapping at his throne
"Yes, it will work. As long as everything goes to plan." Lord Voldemort answered, running his fingers through Hadrian's Black hair

After the meeting, Severus went directly to the Burrow —the Order's new headquarters since both Grummuld Place and the Potter properties belonged to the Dark.
Molly and Arthur scowled at him, but Dumbledore greeted the potions master.
"Severus, my boy, what news do you have?" Dumbledore asked
"Great news, Albus, the Death Eaters has disbanded, because Voldemort and Harry have left the country. Everything is gone, they have no proficient leadership now and they have started fighting amongst themselves, we've won." Severus told them
The remaining Order members cheered, and began to celebrate.
Albus Dumbledore couldn't believe his luck, he had always said that they would lead to their own destruction, but he had never imagined like this, but who was he to complain?
Now, he just needed the Ministry to pass his laws...
