Author Note I'm working on overcoming my writer's block and one of the reviewers comment recently did stick with me.

I'm going to try and write a bit from other people's perspectives than Harrys.

Chapter 56

September 25th 1995

Pucks Glen, Western Scotland

Edmund Spiers watching his feet led a group of Archmagi as they headed towards their goal at Pucks Glen.

This was their time for the first major battle against the Death Eaters for the exclusive Archmagi since the start of the Second Wizarding War.

The battle plan that they were implementing right now had been worked out by their leader and Edmunds good friend Harry Potter.

Their target was a camp of Death Eaters that had been recently set up in Western Scotland

No one really knew why the Death Eaters had set up a camp in this area since it had not been one of their areas of operation in the First War.

Harry saw an opportunity for a nice easy victory while the majority of Death Eaters were busy against the Ministry in Southern England right now.

Reconnaissance had shown that the Death Eaters had about sixty our so Death Eaters here and most of them were foreigners.

They had brought about a hundred or so Archmagi for the attack.

Edmund would be leading the first patrol and Harry the second

He would be attacking the front and Harry would be attacking once his group had drawn them out.

Once they reached the ravine just south of their target the dangerous part of the operation began.

The group stopped for a few minutes to make sure they had their breath with them after walking a good while for the past hour.

Edmund soon gave the hand sign to start moving out and heading towards the camp.

Edmund felt worry rise in his belly. His mind automatically went to how this could all go wrong and he knew Harry felt the same.

But they had to trust that their fighters knew what they were doing.

As he led his group Edmund and probably many others started reviewing the list of spells they knew, making sure a few of the more deadly ones were in the front of his mind and ready to go when needed.

All around him Archmagi fighters began following their training and spread out along the tree line in a sort of wall of people.

Looking at the other faces Edmund saw worry etched on many people's faces but also grim determination to get this done no matter what.

They all knew there was a chance that some of them would not make it out of this battle today and that mentality was clear on everyone's face.

Soon as they arrived near the camp they saw a group of maybe four or so young Death Eaters walking through the woods.

They halted and looked in astonishment at the wall of advancing people.

"Attack": One of them screamed turning to run back to camp "Were under attack"

"Avada Kedavra" Edmund hissed, preventing him from saying any more.

Archmagi fighters were able to disable two of the other Death Eaters but one of them was able to escape far enough.

Fuck.

They should have known there was a chance of the Death Eaters having patrols.

Edmund gave the sign to advance.

Soon they arrived at the Death Eater camp that had several confused people emerging from their tents.

"ATTACK" He yelled "Bombarda"

Following the plan, everyone began splitting into predetermined groups and fired destructive curses up into the air that would hopefully land in the camp and cause chaos for the fuckers.

And the various explosions did not disappoint at all.

Edmund then began to advance into the camp where they were soon met by a group of confused Death Eaters.

Soon a firefight of sorts broke out with the Death Eaters and it was clear though that the Death Eaters were losing the fight due to the fact that they had been completely surprised by the attack

Looking to his side Edmund saw that some of their people had been injured but the Death Eaters seemed to be having a much worse time in terms of casualties though if the dead Death Eaters were any indicator.

But they had a plan to follow and soon the Archmagi started streaming out of the Death Eaters camp and into the woods whille also making sure to fire flames into the tents as they left.

The goal was to draw the Death Eaters out of their camp to pursue the Archmagi into the forest which was where Harrys group was lying in wait.

And looking behind him Edmund saw that it seemed to be working as Death Eaters followed them out of the camp just as he and Harry had hoped.

Once they had gotten into the forest they stopped to engage their pursuers and soon.

"Attack!" Harrys yell rang out and his patrol swarmed out of their concealed positions in the forest.

Seeing a Death Eater coming at him Edmund shot a blasting curse into his stomach.

Looking around he saw that Harry's group had now fully joined the fight.

They were winning with the Archmagi taking out multiple Death Eaters while Edmund could not see any Archmagi on the ground

Harrys strategy seemed to be working.

He had decided to incorporate into their plans about doing a feigned retreat and ambush.

The initial idea had been that a first group would attack hard and withdraw in a way that the enemy would follow them where a second camouflaged group would attack and the enemy would be caught between two groups and destroyed.

The plan was working marvelously.

Edmund soon found Harry fighting.

"Hey"Harry said to his deputy `Good job".

Edmund nodded as they saw Death Eaters all around them fall and a few Death Eaters run away back to the deserted camp.

"Should we pursue? "Edmund asked Harry as the last remaining Death Eaters in the clearing were dealt with.

Harry shook his head.

"Our plan has worked "He said "I don't think any of our own have been killed and We don't want to overdo it and take losses that we cant easily replace".

Harry looked around "Forty Seven Dead Death Eaters "He said "That's good for now "And raising his voice he called for the Archmagi to leave.

Following his leader Edmund and the rest of the Archmagi apparated back to their seat places and back to camp.

SCENE CHANGE

At camp Daphne sorted through the ingredients that one of the patrols had been able to collect and put the Dittany and Fluxweed where they needed to go and read through the Daily Prophet

Several in the Ministry of Magic want to undertake a survey of so-called "Muggle-borns" to better understand how they came to possess magical secrets.

Recent research undertaken by the Department of Mysteries reveals that magic can only be passed from person to person when Wizards reproduce. Where no proven Wizarding ancestry exists, therefore, the so-called Muggle-born is likely to have obtained magical power by theft or force.

Several in the Ministry are determined to root out such usurpers of magical power, and to this end dozens have signed on wanting to issue an invitation to every so-called Muggle-born to present themselves for interviews.

Daphne shook her head.

The Ministry had not explicitly fallen yet but Death Eater's influence was clear and she had no doubt that when Voldermort had control of the Ministry there would be a Muggle Registration Committee or something of the like set up.

That only emphasized the importance of what they were doing.

Nearly five hundred had joined the Archmagi and while her husband was dealing with training them into a effective fighting force their where others in the Archmagi who were not fighters

Daphne had joined the Medical Unit that had been established in one of the Tunnel Chambers that had been recently made.

They would be handling the war injured and others.

After all because of the British Family Act there were several family's that had joined the Archmagi and had small babies in them,

Due to the effects of the war Harry and Daphne were going to wait now before trying for kids and Daphne decided to help those parents with young kids as they settled into their new home in the Galloway Tunnels.

And those kids who were too young to fight and could not go back to Hogwarts.

They had found people who knew the subjects to teach the young kids since they could not go to Hogwarts.

It was not the same as Hogwarts but it was the best they had.

For everyone it was a change to adjust from living in their homes to living in a tunnel system under some Scottish Mountains.

They were safer here in a group though than in their homes and there was always something to do for everyone.

Daphne heard a noise in the tunnel behind her and she turned to see her mother Adeline coming out of the tunnel with some more Potions ingredients.

Adeline nodded "Hey"She nodded "I would imagine that Harry will be back from the battle soon you ready for the wounded".

Daphne breathed in "Yeah"She said.

Harry was leading a group of Archmagi to attack a Death Eater camp and Daphne had been worrying a lot about how the battle would have gone.

And dealing with the wounded of that battle.

It had been what she had been training for quite some time for helping to save life's.

Just like her mother was doing.

Adeline Greengrass had served in the First War as a Healer at St Mungo's and had helped save life's during that war and had thrown herself into helping with the Archmagi.

It was nice to have trained professionals helping with the injured.

Although she did not understand how calm and composed Adeline was about this all.

Daphne supposed her mom had seen a lot already but wow.

Soon there was the noise that Harrys group had returned.

Adeline and Daphne left their storage cave and walked to the Infirmary Cave where they and about a dozen other people that were part of the Archmagi Medical Corps would treat the injuries of the returning fighters.

She saw Harry enter at the head of the group and Daphne rushed up to have a look at him and thankfully he seemed to not be injured and the blood on him looked to be others.

"I'm fine "He said "Go help the others".

Daphne nodded and moved onto the next person as Harry left with several of his lieutenants to confer on the battle results.

She was happy to hear that they had won the Battle with Forty Seven Dead Death Eaters and no dead of their own.

Good news was always welcome.
There were surely a lot of wounded though and Daphne was determined to make sure none of the injured died of their wounds.

Everyone was needed in the Archmagi.

As Daphne went to help a Archmagi fighter who had come in being helped with bad gash on his leg she saw Adeline looking at her across the way.

Daphne was determined to help these people and this guy would have a functional leg soon.

Over the next hour or so they worked out that off the initial group of a hundred Archmagi that had left fifty or so had been uninjured and thirty only had minor scrapes.

There was a group of about twenty or so that had more severe injuries though a dozen or so that would need to be looked after for a bit longer.

The healed fighters were all very gracious for the group's help though and Daphne felt her heart rise when she saw the gratitude in their eyes.

Whenever this war ended Daphne thought that she would do well as a healer.

She got along great with Harry but it was clear he was a fighter and she was not and would much rather use her abilities to save lifes rather than take them.

After the last injury had been dealt with Daphne finally got a chance to meet up with Harry.

The two embraced.

"I'm glad you made it back safely, "She said.

"Of course I will "Harry said "I will always be there for you and our family".
