Chapter 2 : Skirmishes

The days following after Harry settled down in his new home, revolved around scouting and sketching out the village of Duskcreak. Harry used his invisibility cloak to wander around the village without anyone being any wiser. The village was shaped in a 'L' shape with an 'U' attached to its lower end corner. The longer end of the 'L' shape came out towards the forest of Marrowwood, with a small trail that lead into the said forest and one which would end up in Harry's property, which he has named 'MistyPeak', due to its higher elevation than the village as well as due to the mist barrier he created that surrounds the clearing. In the centre of the 'U' shape of the village, was a fountain with the sculpture of Helga Hufflepuff, if the Hufflepuff sigil and the belief of the residents is taken as fact. There are twenty three houses that host magical families in the village as well as an apothecary, a grocery, a small clinic and a library along with later four being situated in a semicircle around the fountain. The twenty three families in the village are the Moon, Mackinnon, Debonair, Jones, Groover, Hummington, Proudfoot, Vance, Pikes, Manderson, Ketchs, Heaston, Underhills, Dunbar, Diggle, Connington, Carols, Turpin, Brocklehurst, Davies, Rossetts, Gilden and Abbot. Their placing starts from the long end of 'L' and continue towards the outer end of 'U' in the respective order. Among them, the Ketchs, Pikes, Heaston and Carols are squib families, who run the stores and had contact with the non-magical world for getting food and other supplies for their village. The clinic was run by an elderly witch named Miranda Gilden, her apprentice Fay Moon and a young witch Melissa Turpin.

Surprisingly everyone gets on well with everyone else, which seems to be an oddity considering the ongoing tensions on blood purity and Pureblood supremacy encompassing the magical Britain by the Dark Lord, but then again the war hasn't started in earnest, only minor disappearances and dark mutterings have been happening as up to now. Harry was sure that either the state of things won't stand the same or soon an attack from the darker faction shall come upon this village, which gave him enough incentives for doing what he planned to do. After scouting out the village during the whole morning, Harry retired to his home, so that he can make preparations for his excursion in the night. Harry was back again in the dead of night under disillusion charm along with sound and smell masking charms as he made his way towards the most centric location relatively to the village. Harry has brought along with him a four by four foot granite cube block, to be used as the ward anchor or stone for the marauder style map he has created for the village. The map was severely lacking when compared to the original as Harry hasn't still unravelled all of its mysteries, his father and co may have been lazy bums who played around most of the time but their brilliance was unmatched, the map itself is proof of their ingenuity and skill. His map unlike the Marauders Map, showed the villagers as blue dots, showing himself as a violet dot and anyone or anything else as red dots. With his current ward anchoring, the ward will only be able to add the presence of those who are currently in the village at the time of it being erected. Even then there won't be any names that is attached to the dots, which while limiting in use was enough for Harry in monitoring the whole of village. The Map outlines the village and is limited to a circular boundary centred from the ward stone, the buildings in the village showing up as rectangular blocks with their respective names. The boundary was 11 feet away in the longest point which is the side of the long end of 'L' and 3 feet away from the shortest point which is the bending of the 'U' shape. Harry has also added a quarter mile wide proximity ward to the ward stone, which is tied to him so he can get an estimation when and how many apparate in and out of the village. And considering the fact that the residents use floo for travelling would indicate that whoever that apparate in wouldn't be a long term resident of the village in any case.

It was a week later that Harry found someone apparating into the village. In trying to find out who it was, he learned that the person was Edward Bones, the current Bones patriarch who was visiting his friend William Abbot the current Abbot patriarch. This also lead him to learn that the Bones Manor is situated close to the village only some miles away from the village in a place called the Brewery. Harry recalled that Susan Bones who was his yearmate in Hufflepuff house was related to Edward Bones and so would be the head of DMLE Amelia Bones from his world, if things are somewhat same in this world that is. Harry didn't stick around after finding out about the new presence in the village.

Harry has successfully repaired the small orchard behind his house, now sporting sprouts of Tomato, Cabbage, Cauliflower and Peas, he was satisfied with his work. Years working as a gardner and doing all other menial jobs for the Dursleys, had given him an insight into household maintenance and the subsequent appreciation for the small but rewarding things. While he hated working for the Dursleys, Harry was glad to be independent when it came to such things. His preparations and the odds and ends complete, all Harry had to look forward was the reply to his letter from the Headmaster Dumbledore, which came nearly two weeks after his letter was sent. With a sigh, Harry prepared to meet the Old fox. Whether he be good or not, Harry was sure that Dumbledore will always have a sharp mind no matter the world he may ends up in.

On the morning of July 25, 1974, Harry apparated to Diagon Alley and from there he took the Knight Bus to reach Hogsmeade in order to make his way to the Hogwarts castle. Harry wore simple black pants, a black T-shirt along with a dark blue hoodie and black boots. His attire drew some attention from the residents of Hogsmeade as Harry made his trek towards the Castle. To Harry's surprise and delight, he was met with none other than Hagrid to let him in and guide to the Headmasters office. In the short time that was used to reach the office, Harry was able to once again become friends with the gentle half-giant. Hagrid was one of the few people he missed from his old world. So as a result, the apprehension Harry had regarding the meeting of this world's Dumbledore melted away in the presence of Hagrid.

Walking through the halls of the Hogwarts Castle brought back a sense of familiarity, yet at the same time he could feel that the castle was different. There seem to be more magic coursing through the castle, its wards stronger and somehow the castle itself felt younger. Harry couldn't put a finger on what was making him feel these things as he hadn't felt such things in his own world and time. Putting the problem to the back of his mind, Harry continued to drink in the castle interior. Observing the many suits of armors, the magical painting, the moving staircases, Harry felt a pang of grief, for a brief moment, he saw the shadows of his and Hermione's younger self walking through the staircase towards the library. Shaking himself of the gloomy thoughts that invaded his head, he resolved himself to look towards the future than get stuck in the past.

All too soon they reached the Gargoyle statue that guards the Headmasters office. "Lemon Drops", Hagrid said the password and soon the revolving stairways took them up. "Enter, Hagrid", came the wizened old sound of the Headmaster as he bid them entry even before Hagrid knocked on the door. Entering the room, Harry looked around, sporting some similarities but found it to be more different than the one in his world. The perch of Fawkes the phoenix was still there, as well as the said phoenix, so was the cabins containing the many magical tomes and the sorting hat atop the shelf, however the similarities ended there. His office was adorned with many magical artifacts, a flickering light in a glass tube, an animated chart of something, and many many more, none of which was recognizable to Harry either in passing or through any of his readings. "Thank you Hagrid, I will take it from here", Dumbledore bid Hagrid to leave as he studied the newcomer. Hagrid quickly left saying his farewells to both Harry and Dumbledore.

Both Harry and Dumbledore studied each other with barely restrained curiosity. Dumbledore looked at the fairly good looking, well built teenager in front of him, noticing the boy's darker hair and the unusual violet eyes. The boy, Aron Runic, held himself well, there was no slouching but he could detect that there was no pureblood training in his posture as he held himself more battle ready than the posturing of pureblood scions. And this made the Headmaster wonder what or who trained him in the art of combat. The boy's on scrutiny of him also left an impression of him, all the more the headmaster was waiting for his companion, Fawkes's, opinion of the boy, which he received in the way of said bird greeting the newcomer. Harry for his part was able to pick up that this headmaster was more cheerful and not burdened by the loss of his many students, at the same time he could feel the presence that left so many in awe of the capabilities of the one who defeated Grindelwald. Truly Harry felt that he was in front of a titan than an old magical school head. Both were broken out of their self imposed task of evaluation by the soft, yet uplifting trills of Fawkes, which made Harry bow to the phoenix in greeting. Somehow Fawkes seemed oddly satisfied with that response.

"Please take a seat Mr. Runic. I was surprised to receive a letter asking for acceptance this late especially when it is for entering into the fifth year rather than first year. Can you elaborate on the reasons for your seeking education here?" Dumbledore asked in a calm voice.

Taking the offered seat, Harry began to explain, "I was home tutored as my parents died when I was young and it made me travel alongside my grandparent, Charles Runic, as he is a magical archaeologist. Because of the constant moving around, I wasn't able to attend any of the other magical schools as well. Now that it is time for me to take OWLs and in order to further study about magic after OWLs, grandfather felt it was better to do it while studying in a school rather than what we have been doing until now. The reason for choosing Hogwarts over Beauxbaton or Durmstrang, besides Hogwarts being considered the best, is that we have a home here in Britain, so both me and grandpa can meet each other during the breaks over the course year as well as during the time when the school year ends and it also gives me a permanent place to have."

Dumbledore hummed to himself, the stated reasons where valid and he doesn't have anything against someone joining the school rather he welcomed the opportunity. Rising from his seat, the headmaster took the sorting hat from the top of the shelf, while explaining its significance to the teen, "Well there are no problems with you joining and since you are here, let's get you sorted into a house. This here is the sorting hat and upon placing it on your head, it will sort you according to your characteristics. So shall we?" After receiving Harry's consent, the sorting hat was placed upon his head, upon which a voice sounded in Harry's mind.

"Mhm, difficult very difficult",

"Hello Hat, how are you doing?"

"Oh, a dimensional traveller. Now that's something you don't get to meet everyday.", the Hat replied cheerfully before turning sombre, "There wasn't anything left for you back there, wasn't there ? Well no matter you are here and thus can start a new life here"

"Thank you, I would be grateful if you could keep what you see to yourself"

"No worries young man, your secrets are safe with me. A piece of advice before we part ways. I don't know why the Dumbledore of your world was such a disturbing individual" Harry snorted at that but kept quiet as the hat continued, "But I can assure you this world's one is not so twisted, a barmy old man sure. Cruel, Malicious.. he is not. And you already have realised that people may be different than how they were in your world, keep it in your mind at all times. Well I can clearly see your thirst for knowledge and the wisdom gained through your life, so I agree with my counterpart, you will do well in RAVENCLAW"

Dumbledore was delighted, a small part of him excited as to the future accomplishment of the teen, he could feel that the boy was more than what meets the eye.

"Congratulations, I am sure you will do fine in Ravenclaw. Now shall we discuss the subjects you are going to take, I have the list of materials you might require according to your options." With that both Harry and Dumbledore dwelled into Harry's educational needs.

The next day Harry decided to get his shopping for school supplies over with. Standing once more in front of the quietly parting bricks, Harry held his breath. This was a new beginning, Harry closed his eyes as he remembered the first time he visited the alley with Hagrid. Softly letting out a breath, Harry opened his eyes to once more feast his sights on the bustling magical alley. Harry could make out the usual hubbubs, Slug and Jiggers apothecary, the Magical Menagerie, the Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, Eeylops Owl Emporium, Flourish & Blotts, Gambol and Japes, Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, Ollivanders. Harry also saw Knockturn Alley as well as Borgin & Burkes, he kept far away from it as he made his way through the different shops completing his shopping list. Walking along the crowd, Harry realized how much the war has affected his own world, he could see more magicals than in his world and from the looks of it, the war hasn't yet taken an effect on the populace. The atmosphere around him slowly made Harry realise the fact that yes he is in a new place with no one knowing who he is and now he could start living the way he wanted for the first time in his life, without the interference from anyone. Gradually Harry became a part of the crowd as he completed his shopping and then he stopped by the Leaky Cauldron for lunch and once again, for him, making acquaintance with the much younger bartender Tom, who it seems to have all of his teeth unlike in his world. Harry smiled along with the ruckus in the pub as the day finally came to an end.

Harry was trying to maintain his calm as anxiety and apprehension rose as the waiting was getting to him. It has been two days since someone apparated to the outskirts of DuskCreak, alerting him via the proximity ward. Harry at first thought it was Edward Bones again, but the timing of the arrival seemed off as it was close to midnight and he was somewhat sure that the Bones patriarch would use the floo when coming from his own manor and apparated only when he was outside his own Manor. Harry therefore opted to observe the red dot that showed up on his map. The dot seemed to move very slowly around the village border, stopping at some houses, seemingly in random, but to Harry it was obvious they were somehow marking targets as of the six houses they stopped by for their journey, four belonged to the squib families. The dot disapparated after two and a half hours of loitering. Harry soon started planning for the inevitable death eater raid that was coming and now it's been two days since the scout came and went, and Harry was getting jittery from all the waiting. He had no clue how his plan will go as he didn't know how many will participate in the attack, whether any of the residents have any skills in combat and most importantly he didn't have any idea regarding how the Aurors and the Order of the phoenix will react. The existence of the Order is still not clear to him as he had only read articles about them from his world, about the mysterious group led by Albus Dumbledore against the Dark Lord. He couldn't alert the village as there hasn't been any information regarding any previous attacks and Harry himself wanted to keep a low profile as much was possible.

Harry favored stealth over open conflict and flashy duels as he didn't like taking unnecessary risks. Harry has set up a masking ward in a perimeter of five foot just inside the outer edges of the Marrowwood forest, where he was able to keep a close eye on the village. Harry usually came at 9:00 pm and left at 6:00 am, and the improper sleeping routine was also adding to his nerves. The usual modus operandi of the death eaters was to strike at midnight, at least that was how it was in his old world from what he read from records that detailed the events. Now on this third day of his stakeout, Harry thought that today would be a miss too, although he felt he maybe wrong. After the passing of two days, Harry thought that the one who he noted on the map might have been there for some other purpose than being a prelude to a Death Eater raid. Even then Harry's gut instinct was telling him to be on alert and his gut has never failed him before.

Today was a full moon and the pale moonlight gave the forest and the village below an ethereal glow, there was an unnatural calm, 'like just before a storm', Harry thought. Moving by his instinct, Harry started preparing for the inevitable arrival of the death eaters. 'Nebula Obtentus', Harry whispered a spell, which creates a magical fog that covers as little or large an area as the caster wishes. Harry started casting the spell in order to cover the entire village from the forest edge upto the end of ward line at the opposite end of the village. This would make it so that anyone who comes for attack will be impaired visually and it will hide Harry's involvement and the commotion that will occur when he starts taking the Death Eaters out. Soon the fog covered the village and its surroundings and Harry kept a vigilant watch using his map. Midnight was announced by the near silent pops of apparition as multiple magicals arrived, the proximity ward alerted Harry and he confirmed their numbers via the map. A total of 15 assailants, all currently at the outer edges of the village close together and it looks like the fog has them stumped.

Harry started forming six hounds from the earth, six being his current limit, adding some magical resistance charms to their body while giving their mouth and eyes an unnatural pale green glowing light, similar to the killing curse, all of them having the appearance of the grim. Harry was going to use the wizarding world's superstition to create some confusion and panic among the death eaters. Harry quickly disillusioned himself and followed after giving the grims their targets. The grims would strike those at the outer edge of the small circle that the enemy has created by gathering together and Harry would strike fast when the panic sets in. The whole process of creating grims and getting closer to enemies where enough for the death eaters to create the dark mark across the sky and getting in position to unleash there terror. Obviously none of them hasn't realised the fact that the fog obstructed anyone from viewing the sky thus reducing the terror factor.

For Fay Moon, the night was a peaceful one as any other until her world was shattered by the loud booms of explosion and the shock waves that came after the sound. Fay was startled into a shocked stupor only for a moment before her own cries of terror joined those around the village. Her door was suddenly pushed open by her mother who quickly ushered her along with her younger brother of eleven towards where her father was. In the shock induced stillness, Fay only heard the mention of Death Eaters, the Carols, Squib families and the opposite end before another explosion shook the place. Her brother clung to their mother and her mother was trying to shake Fay out of her panic, she slapped her daughter with enough force to get her out of her panic. Just as Fay regained her senses, it was invaded by bright lights, screams of terror and chilling howls from the outside. Using the window to look outside, she got a glimpse of white shining skull masked silhouettes being attacked by some sort of quadrupled animals, she couldn't see better as the whole village was surrounded by fog. Before her mother dragged her away from the window, she saw another silhouette in dark moving about the chaos with occasional light show and later Fay, her friends and the whole village who saw the shadow would think of it as a trick of light until some time has passed and certain rumors of a stranger starts circulating.

Harry cursed as the death eaters started firing exploding hexes towards the building, he quickly got in position without alerting the enemies and hoped the house wards will hold until his own attack commenced. Harry didn't have to wait long as his grims started their prawl, on his orders just as another explosion went up, the arrival of the grims and the subsequent loss of three of their numbers didn't go unnoticed as the glowing green lights and the chilling howls the grims produced was enough for diverting their attention from blasting the buildings. The grims mainly knocked out the assailants by pouncing and hitting their heads. Harry quickly capitalized on the panic as he started using 'Attono', a blueish white spell of his own creation, modified from the 'stupefy' spell and a lightning attributed one, that stuns the target, the spell's effect was only reversible by the caster itself. The spell will wear off by itself after about two, two and a half hours. He got two enemies before having to duck down and slink back into the shadows as the death eaters quickly became aware of a human enemy presence. Harry thought that his entry have probably alerted them of the human element behind the grims attack and reduced the effect of the grims. 'So five down ten to go', Harry mentally counted as he started to move around the side of the houses while crouching down. He saw a group of five death eaters forming a defensive pattern, using a high powered 'lumos' spell, where Harry willed the light ball to appear just in front of their eyes, he quickly took them out before moving back into the shadows of another building. Over the years, Harry has experimented with every spell he has learned at Hogwarts to know there ins and outs, their arithmetic composition, the important wand motions that affect the spell and so much more that makes a spell tick. The 'lumos' while being the most basic and most underrated one of all the spells, was the one Harry experimented with the most. He has been able to modify the charm in many variety of ways like making the light sphere appear at a desired distance instead of at the tip of his wand, making the light ball stay in air and follow him, cast it about like a disc throw and more. Harry cursed as a bombardment hit too close to where he was and quickly moved away from the position he was thrown of to, his disillusion charm has faded the moment he engaged in combat. Harry knew he was not yet good enough to take on more than two opponents at the same time. Sure he has knowledge, but he lacked experience and practice. most of his time was spent experimenting on magic and coming up with the space-time ritual that he used to come to this world. Harry made a mental command to his remaining four grims to attack and split the remaining five death eaters. The Death Eaters have already destroyed two of the six grims he created. Quickly taking a look at the map from the reprieve from the assault provided by his grims attack on the enemy, Harry pinpointed the enemy location and waited for his grims to occupy the enemies full attention. The moment he heard cursing from the enemy, Harry quickly followed suit into the spell fire, it seems using the sense enhancing spell was good. Harry ducked and weaved between spell fire as he took one more enemy from the death eaters group, his grims has taken out another one before being completely destroyed. Just before another of Harry's attack connected, the death eaters portkeyed out of the village. Judging by the blue flashes all around the village, Harry realised his mistake of not putting up an anti-portkey ward as all the death eaters, even the fallen ones were portkeyed out. Harry was drained, the whole thing while lasted only about less than half an hour was nerve wracking and it was his first time taking part in such a large scale battle. The fog he has casted has already started to thin out and disappear. Taking his invisibility cloak out, Harry made his way out of the village and back to his home. Harry would only become aware of the injuries he sustained when he woke up in the morning from where he sprawled out on the porch, after he reached his home.

Amelia Bones, the soon to be fifth year student of Hogwarts as well as the newly appointed prefect walked into the living room of the Bones Manor hearing her younger brother, Edgar Bones, who is a fourth year, reading the Daily Prophet aloud to the audience that consisted of her family and one William Abbot, the patriarch of Abbot family.

"'Dark Mark Appears! Sign of Terror or Freedom?' 'The Grims of MarrowWood Forest, Fantasy or Folly?', it looks like yesterday was the day of outbreak for madness. Death Eater? Grims? Where do they cook up these things from"

"You know that Daily Prophet speaks 50 percent lies, 30 percent embellishment, 15 percent Ministry agendas and only about 5 percent is true in their stories Edgar", said Allen Bones who was the oldest sibling and a seventh year student at Hogwarts.

"I know Allen, but seriously they got to have some limit to them, don't they?"

"Well, not all of it is lies Edgar. The grim part and the Death Eater part or whatever the group that attacked us last night are calling themselves are true."

"I assume that is why you are here then William?", her father Edward asked while her mother Aurelia Bones nee Pinegrew listened closely.

"What is this about father?" Amelia made her presence know as she sat down next to her brothers.

"It seems there have been an attack in DuskCreak village last night and William here was about to tell us about the details regarding it", Edward said while prompting William to explain what happened.

"It happened around midnight, none of the villagers noticed the arrival of attackers. We only became aware after they started bombarding the Carol's house. Luckily the attackers themselves came under attack from a third party before they could continue with their bombarding", William stopped as if to increase the mysticism.

"Don't stop, who attacked who? What happened?" Edgar the ever impatient bombarded the older man with questions. With a chuckle William continued, "The ones who attacked the village are the so called Death Eaters, though there hasn't been any confirmation about the identity of the group nor their supposed name. And there was a Dark Mark in the sky and it still hasn't dissipated yet. As for the third party who attacked the Death Eaters, it appears to be a grim or rather a group of grims. Again we are not sure as the village was surrounded in fog and all we could see was green glowing eyes and shadows of some quadrupled animals. The whole thing was concluded in about an hour and the fog cleared after some half an hour after evrything became calm. We searched and other than some blood, scattered earth and spell fire residue, nothing else was found. No grim, no Death Eater. It seems everything has gone up like smoke in the wind"

The entire Bones family was captivated with the retelling of the event, Edward himself was more pensive than curious.

"It seems things are not going to be peaceful anymore." Edward muttered.

"I wonder if there are actual grims in the MarrowWood forest. What do you reckon Allen? Shall we go take a look?"

"Alright now, there will be no fooling around Edgar, Allen. Amelia take your brothers and finish shopping for school supplies. Your new school year will be starting soon. And forget about these matters, you only need to concentrate on your studies."

'Well that seems to be the end of Edgar's badgering, I wonder what's happening out there?' Amelia mused as she along with her brothers left the room for the grownups.

Harry could still feel the stiffness in his shoulder and ribs, even though it has been a month since the attack on the village, the injuries he suffered hasn't been completely healed yet. While knowing some healing spells, Harry was nowhere near level of being a medic. The small bruises and cuts have already been cleaned and cured in about a week after the attack. Only his shoulder and ribs had a soreness to them. Harry remembered being thrown about like a ragdoll when a bombarding hex landed near where he was hiding during the battle, and he believed the injuries to the shoulder and ribs came from that. Harry decided to visit the matron of Hogwarts Hospital wing to get himself checked out rather than keeping it to himself. He wasn't comfortable enough to visit 's lest they start needling into his business, but going to Madam Pomfrey was fine with him.

Harry was currently boarding the Hogwarts Express as today was September 1, 1974. His school year in this world was starting and Harry wanted to find a lone cabin for the ride as he was not ready to socialize with other students yet. As Harry was moving from one compartment to the next, he heard a commotion up ahead. It seems some upper years are bullying some kids.

"Well, well, look here guys. A couple of mudbloods who think they belong in our world. It looks like if we don't teach them there place they will never learn", a burly teen stated pointing his wand while grinning like a lunatic.

Harry subtly send a tongue twister and a tripping hex towards the group of bullies. When the burly teen started to cast a spell, instead of spell incantation, a bunch of gibberish came out of his mouth. Just as the group panicked as all of them started speaking gibberish,an authoritative voice ranged from the other end of the compartment

"Lestrange, Malfoy, what are you doing to those third year students?".

The group of bullies turned around to look at the one who yelled at them and the tripping hex came to effect as they fell down, much to the amusement of those around them. They started saying gibberish again as they got up, it was Amelia Bones who yelled earlier and she cancelled the hex on them with a finite as she got near them.

"Leave now before I let the professors know about what happened here" Amelia said to them icily. The goons left with a heated glare while the third years thanked the prefect as they too quickly moved away from there. Amelia turned to the other end to know who cast the spell, but there wasn't anyone there. Harry had already cast a disillusion on himself and left the compartment as everyone was sorting themselves out. Harry thought that no one saw what he did, but unfortunately or fortunately, three pairs of eyes saw the whole thing, one brown, one blue and one purple, as they looked at the faint shimmer of Harry's outline as he made his way across and out of the compartment.

The blowing whistle and the announcement woke Harry up as the train reached the Hogsmeade station. Shaking himself out of the sleepiness, Harry got out of the train and looked towards the direction of the castle. Only one thought came to his mind as he saw the students moving around towards the castle, 'Time to face the music' and with a sigh and a shake of his head, Harry joined the moving crowd as well.
