Summary:
"Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Kingsley Shaklebolt, Ronald Weasley, and Neville Longbottom were not alone in standing up to Voldemort. Nor were Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, Severus Snape, and their comrades the only ones to fall in the long struggle against the Dark Arts. Hundreds of Muggles, House-Elves, Goblins, Centaurs, and lesser known Witches and Wizards also played an important role in the victory. It is these unsung heroes that I wish to honor today."
This fic is set in Harry's seventh year, but the only time Harry himself appears is when others are talking about him - and usually not too fondly! It tells the story of the resistance at Hogwarts, of the Muggles that struggled to make sense of what was happening around them, and of the many sidelined characters that Jo didn't tell us much about in Deathly Hallows. It follows the canon timeline pretty closely, but some of the pairings and events in the last couple of months are slightly altered.
