SEPTEMBER 1978[/color][/font]
Barely three months into their lives as adults, the newly-formed Order of the Phoenix is placed under attack by the Dark Lord’s Death Eaters. Several die, including Marlene McKinnon and Dorcas Meadowes. The war has officially begun.
NOVEMBER 1979[/color][/font]
Regulus Black vanishes under mysterious circumstances and his name is erased from the Black Family Tree. Fighting continues – Death Eater forces are slowly winning the battle while the Order loses more and more members every day. A few Aurors work alongside the Order in secret, in an attempt to stem the flow of losses.

The prophecy regarding Harry Potter is made. Sybill Trelawney informs Dumbledore and Severus Snape overhears. He reports back to the Dark Lord and plans are set in motion for the destruction of Harry Potter.
JULY 1980[/color][/font]
Harry Potter is born. Severus Snape informs Dumbledore of the prophecy and the plot to kill Harry in an attempt to save Lily Potter’s life.
OCTOBER 1981[/color][/font]
The Dark Lord takes his inner circle and attacks the Potters on Halloween. The family is taken by surprise as three Death Eaters burst in from the back and slaughter Lily Potter. James is left to defend Harry – he lunges for the Dark Lord and is killed instantly. Harry Potter is also murdered that night.

Following the death of the Potters, things happen swiftly. The Minister for Magic resigns and is replaced by an agent of the Dark Lord, and then Dumbledore is killed in a rumoured giant uprising in the North after journeying there to persuade them to join the cause. With the death of their leader, remaining members of the Order are told to disband by Kingsley Shacklebolt. A few object – those that do are quick to be slaughtered by the Death Eaters.

Since the apparent end of the Order, the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters reign supreme over Wizarding Britain. Mudbloods are hunted down and executed and the Order of the Phoenix – what remains of it, at least – is forced to watch helplessly. Supporters and former members of the Order still remain, but whilst Death Eater activity is the dominant force in the United Kingdom, there is little they can do without drawing attention to the fact that the Order is now an underground organisation biding its time until it can rise up out of the ashes and be the light to Voldemort’s darkness.
