AN: Hello all, I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue this. I had not received any positive feedback and actually received a very negative review that made me question why I wanted to continue this. After reading reviews from Reactions I have found the strength to write this. I had so many people who wanted to see what I would do with this story that I knew, for them and myself, that I needed to see this through. So if you like this story, please let me know. Positive reviews and constructive criticism are VERY much appreciated.

Chapter Two

Harry was once again in the Room with his closest friends and boyfriend.

"Right, so last time we discussed why The Dark Lord started this whole thing. Today we will be discussing his actions during the height of the war." Draco said with a clap.

Neville tilted his head. "You mean his reasons for using dark magic?"

Draco nodded. "Exactly. Now, as stated before, Dumbledore caused many of the first fatalities. The Dark Lord wanted as little bloodshed as possible. He didn't see the point in spilling magical blood. We are a small community, why would he want to kill the few magicals there are? Dumbledore knew that if people saw Him as a reasonable person, that they would see His ideas as readonable."

Harry frowned. "Magical people don't have that much common sense though."

Draco nodded. "Exactly, that's why it wad so easy to start a smear campaign. People were so enamoured by Dumbledore that his word was the be all end all. He could do no wrong in their eyes. So if he said that The Dark Lord was evil and his ideas too radical, who would argue?"

"The ones who knew he was as mortal as the next wizard." Luna chimed.

"Right, though that was rhetorical Luna." Draco laughed softly. "Unfortunately this group was small, and since they didnt treat Dumbledore as the messiah he was believed to be, they were also seen as Dark. Tired of being shunned by their peers they joined The Dark Lord. He rallied people together under a banner of a unified, cut off from muggles Wizarding world. Dumbledore then gathered his closest followers and decided to up the ante."

The twins looked at each other. "The decided to turn him into a terrorist."

Harry scowled. "That's stupid. If he wasn't a violent person then why would anyone think he was a terrorist?"

Draco snorted. "Because the sun shined out Dumbledore's arse. He knew The Dark Lord had distanced himself from his birth name, unable to keep the name of the muggle father who abandoned his very pregnant mother. He used this to his advantage, because now people wouldn't link him to the charming young man at Hogwarts. He became a new entity."

"And therefore he could be anything Dumbledore said he was." Harry scowled.

Draco nodded. "Now, Dumbledore had everything to make The Dark Lord a villain. So, The Dark Lord decided to gain back control but it was too late. Spies in his ranks used a combination of spells and potions to lead him to taking more drastic measures. They made him the terrorist they said he was."

The Room was silent and they decided to leave it there for the day to think on what was said.
