Recap: "What did we run in to?" Neville asked with a touch of fear.

"A Mummy." Came the reply.

Chapter 22

Harry was sitting reading the latest reports from his soldiers. It's been more than three months since Neville and his crew came across that mummy. A twinge of fear snaked down his spine as he thought of those twin burning eyes. At how much the light reflected so much hate and anger at the group as if they did it a great evil. When Kali explained to the creature to Harry, Hermione and Tonks when they were forced to rest. To make matters worse Jean as been missing since the failed raids took place. His Templars' think he's dead, and yet they are holding out that he's alive. With a sigh he continued to glance over the reports. The sounds of glass tinkering made him look up. He noticed Liu walking pushing a cart in.

"Tonks asked me to bring these to you." She said.

"Where is Tonks?" He asked.

"Taking care of a small group of old world alliance soldiers who thought they could use a safe house here in England." She said. "By the way what are you reading?"

"Reports from my commanding officers, some from Zero, and a few from our muggle counterparts, here read this one." He said sliding it forward.

November 10.

First and Second squads meet stiff resistance near Caen.

From information from the officers placed in charge,

noted that there were six divisions, four infantry divisions with two

Heavy armor divisions backing them up. The squads were

forced to retreat back to our CP. From there the attacking

French attacked us in force. The attacking army forced us back to Cherbourg.

The battle at Cherbourg lasted three days. With the help of the air force giving us cover

as a result of this action sixty men were killed, with two hundred wounded. The

attacking . . .

"It's gotten bad hasn't it?" She asked.

"Yes, and it's only to get worst. This one." He said holding up another folder. "Contains the names of three hundred countries that have joined the Old World Alliance. But luckily for us China, Russia, Greece, and Egypt, have joined the coalition. The war Voldemort started will not end soon. Many of the muggle governments are using this as an excuse to attack their hated rivals. Doesn't explain China and Russia though? Here I thought they would attack the United States the first chance they got but instead the two countries helped liberate the Hawaii islands, with the help of its residents. After several Old World Alliance armies took it. Since then many battles have raged in both the Pacific and in Europe." He stated standing and moving to the filing cabinets by a window.

"Well at least we have allies and are not alone in this." Liu said. Harry could only nod as he filed his copies of the actions his forces were taking.

In the distance they could see one of the Hogwarts towers against the overcast skies. So lost in thought he never heard Liu leave or hear his officers arrive. All he could think about was when life was a little more simple. Now he commands of three thousand active soldiers with from what he has been told more than forty thousand in the wings. He knew that many were foreign nationals, as well as British. With a sigh he turned around and took his sit. He noticed that the others were already sitting.

"Okay Tonks you first. How did it go?" He asked.

"The house was empty. But showed signs of use. We found several manuscripts as well as a couple of maps. Those were handed over to Zero who made you copies. He has already taken steps to protect the enemies' targets." She said handing over a large folder.

"Anything else to add?" He asked her. Tonks shook her head. "Okay what news of Jean?"

"He has been found and has been taken to Germany for immediate medical attention." Susan said, her news surprised Harry and they all knew it. "According to him his mission never started he believes there is a spy in the army. Just because he landed in the middle of a very large group of French Foreign Legionnaire. They were taken prisoner and place in a prison near the Arden forest. Where the German army rescued him and the remaining Templars. From the German's perspective they were members of French Resistance who were fighting with the allied forces. He should be back by the end of next month."

"That's some really good news has you informed Packard?" Harry asked. She replied negatively. "It's all right. Now Neville you what have you learned about these mummies?"

"Mummies are extremely dangerous. They stay in one spot and act as a silent guardian. When a human wanders in the room then it has a strong desire to destroy said being. They attack without pause and without mercy. They can't talk, but they can let out a very frightening wail, such as we heard, and coming in view of such a creature will cause despair. You got lucky Harry if it had hit your skin you could have contacted Mummy Rot. A potentially fatal disease. It has numerous immunities. That includes death magic, sleep spells, poisons, mind affecting spells, and cannot get fatigued. Its immunities are numerous, but such creatures have a strong vulnerability to fire." Neville stated.

"Before he left the soldier, reported seeing two men entered the room. How is it possible for them to move about the prison without drawing an attack from these creatures?" Susan asked.

"Easy they were the ones to create the mummies and as such would have taken precautions to ensure their safety as well as any guest they may entertain but any prisoners who escape will be killed by these mummies, no questions asked." Luna said.

"I still can't believe Percy ordered the creation of those monstrosities." Harry said with a shake of his head. "Hermione I know you and Luna with help from Liu when she is able to help, have been researching Phylactery's. So is it possible for Tommy boy to spit his soul into seven pieces?"

"Yes it is but it is extremely difficult with each separation. From what you told us we believe you have destroyed one of the Phylactery's in the form of Riddle's diary. I believe he is arrogant enough to use his snake, some thing of Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Slytherin. As for the last Phylactery, it is a mystery to us, we have no clue where it's at?" Hermione said with a slight pout.

"Six out of seven known is better than nothing. But is he arrogant enough to use the founders' items for an act of evil. I have read some of the research you have done. It takes an act of unspeakable evil to create one that it corrupts said items. I fear that we have to destroy priceless artifacts from the last heros. What were the items anyway?" Harry asked.

"Hufflepuffs is a cup. Ravenclaw is a brooch. Slytherin is a locket. Gryffindor is a. I really don't know. Still, the seventh one eludes us in our search. I'm sorry Harry." Hermione said.

"It's all right Hermione. I know one has been destroyed so that leaves six." Harry said. Suddenly there was a knock at his door. "Enter."

One of the soldiers from the village entered the room and saluted Harry, before speaking.

"Sir, I carry an important message for you." The young man said.

Harry approached and took the package from the young man. Then dismissed him. He sat behind his desk and opened it. He quickly scanned the document before putting it down. With a sigh he began to speak. "Well it appears that I'm to take command of the army here in England while Zero and Ghost go gallivanting in Europe and in the Pacific. According to this the previous commander were killed and new replacements were needed so the queen ordered the two to go to the front. Me I'm to stay and do what is necessary to protect the island nation of England and her people from Voldemort and the Old World Alliance. Officially you five are now my officers and I have been promoted to General." The room went silent. It was some time before anyone spoke.

"What?" Neville asked.

"All magical armies stationed in England are now under my control, while Zero takes command of all of the magical soldiers in Europe and Ghost takes command of those in the Pacific. Our queen has bestowed upon the three of us the title of General. It also states that were the greatest of magical Generals." Harry said shaking slightly.

"What does that mean?" Tonks asked.

"It means that were not to put ourselves in danger. Unless we have to. So I'm sorry to say that while the armies' fight we will be here filling out request forms and other items of importance." Harry replied. "I find this not to be fair that Ami and Yu get to fight while I sit here and twirl my thumbs."

"You didn't read the second page did you Harry?" Luna asked, Harry just stared blankly at the young half-elf. Harry could only shake his head. "Don't you think you should read it?"

Harry read the second set of orders. He had to stop in the middle and reread the paragraph. With shaking hands he placed the parchment down. His friends watched as he started to pace behind his desk. Collecting his thoughts as he paced he never notice Hermione or Tonks shoot each other worried looks. Finally he stopped. "Neville I want you to lead a force of six hundred and secure the school place it under lock down. Use the Americans that we have stock up on ammo, and anything that can wipe out a large group of enemies in one shot. Luna I want you to hit Knockturn Alley hard raze it to the ground. Kill any who put up a fight. Susan, Tonks, Hermione I want you to hit these three targets immediately. Malfoy, Parkson, and Nott manors are to be attacked anyone inside is to be considered an enemy. So them no mercy."

"Harry what happened?" Tonks asked with a touch of fear.

"Tom attacked and destroyed Durmstrang early this morning, none of the students left alive. So we attack in kind but only at his forces. Let the people know that were here to stay and we're not going anywhere. Neville if Dumbledore gives you any crap. Throw him out of the school. I'm not going to put up with the old man's pacifists ways." Harry replied, as he spun to face the window. Even with the onset of night everyone in the room could see the eerie glow emanating from his eyes. A fire burned behind them one that spoke of taking vengeance on those who had so wronged the world. Slowly the group disbanded and hit their targets. Within the hour several buildings in Knockturn Alley were burning. At Malfoy manor seventy newly minted death eaters were on guard. They never heard the first shots and twenty minutes later the Aurors would show up to a burned out hollow with bodies littering the ground. They soon got reports of the same thing at the Parkson and Nott manors. Bodies and the manors were burned down to the ground. As Harry waited, he felt the weight of the world, and so it was with this that if anyone were to look into the room in which he stood. They would have seen not a young man who was in his prime, but an old soul who has seen to much death and destruction.
