Game of Life Challenge - Prompt: Death

Cluedo Challenge: 'Avada Kedavra', Harry Potter, Godric's Hollow.

Death Makes You Die.

(This was named by Rayniekinnz).

Everyone was talking about the death of the whole Potter family. All three Potters had been killed by the Avada Kedavra curse, the dark mark suspended in the air above their house in Godric's Hollow. It had been their best friend, Sirius Black that had discovered the bodies of the trio, and for a small time, he had been suspected of being guilty in giving them up.

The news of a pure-blood family as loved as the Potter's made people all the more scared - they had been suspicious of the news of Dorea and Charlus dying a few years before, not everyone believing the dragon-pox story and now James, Lily and their young son Harry were gone too.

A young Lucius Malfoy quickly took on the role as Minister of Magic. The hope this filled people with was quickly turned to despair as magic in the muggleborns was called into question and the muggleborns began disappearing or finding themselves in Azkaban.

The magical world began to fall apart and anyone who stood against Voldemort was imprisoned and tortured.

The Order of the Phoenix was driven underground, the members having to pretend to disband from the organisation. Sirius Black was found innocent of giving up his friends to Voldemort and freed on the condition that he take up the mantle as head of his house, as a body was recovered belonging to Regulus Black.

His Werewolf was allowed to stay with him as his pet, though arrangements of his marriage to a suitable pure-blooded witch were being planned. A recently widowed Andromeda Black would soon become his wife.

Sirius' life had fallen apart in the moment he realised that there was something wrong with Peter, and step by step the world was getting worse. People began to give up after the Potter line was taken out and Sirius couldn't publicly fight Voldemort, due to the laws that stated that Werewolves would have even less rights than before, only slightly above house-elves. If he fought against them, Remus would be killed without question.

Aurors like Moody were quickly killed and Dumbledore fell. There was no hope if Dumbledore couldn't even defeat Voldemort.

But the Order wasn't over, it wasn't finished. None of them had truly given up. Instead they took time to regroup and work out a plan of what to do next with the very few members they still had.

They realised one thing. One way of defeating Voldemort. Voldemort had set his sights on Harry Potter, but he wasn't the only child that the Prophecy related to.

One child that fit the prophecy still remained.

Neville Longbottom.

One day this infant was supposed to defeat Voldemort. Their only goal - to keep Neville safe from harm.

They had years before he would be required to face Voldemort and for now they had to fall into the roles that were expected of them under the new rule. Years to train Neville, years to infiltrate the right departments of the Ministry and to get themselves in place.

He may have won for now, but they weren't truly giving up.

Review please :)
