Authors note: Here is the prologue to the Red threads story. I got many requests to put it up, so that the story makes more sense on how they got there. If you have a better name Than global magic association let me know. Also I had this commented by my friend before I always call Ron a strategist. I say this because of his skill Set with quidditch and Chess, also he had a few moments in the last battle that were quick stratagies even if they weren't thought out. so that's how I view him. May or may not be wrong. Also Sorry this took so long. I wasn't happy with the first two drafts But, despite some things still bugging me. This is passable and as good as I'm going to get it.

The next Updated chapter will be up probably some time tonight or tomorrow. Depends on if I can focus for more than five minutes.

Prologue

Hermione Granger was running around her department in a hurry, her bushy brown hair falling in wisps out of the messy bun she had put it up in. She was trying to gather all the necessary paperwork on a case of alleged magical creature abuse. A mad wizard was doing illegal and inhumane experiments on a Hippogriff. Once everything was gathered, she went through the papers, signing what needed her signature, filing the unneeded papers, and gave her assistant the rest to be prepped for the trial that evening.

"Busy night Hermione? Pavarti patil asked. She was a beautiful Indian girl and the Identical twin of Padma Patil. She worked in the experimental magic department.

"Yes, I had dinner with my parents then was up half the night going through forms." She brushed her hair out of her face and continued to send papers throughout her department.

"Those aren't due tell next week! you really need a night out Hermione. when was the last time you went on a date?" She folded her arms. "Your a mess and your overworking yourself as always."

"I am not overworking, I'm very comfortable actually and I don't quite remember when my last date was. I don't keep track of that sort of thing."

"Four months Hermione. You'll never meet a guy if your always working" She nudged her. Causing Hermione to Roll her eyes. She was never as boy crazy as the Patil's or even Lavender Brown .

"I'm only Eighteen. It's not like I'll die if I am not dating, and I'll meet the right one some day."

Pavarti was about to comment on that when her office door opened and a very flustered Percy Weasley, a tall gangly man with freckles and red hair. he was her best friend Rons third eldest brother, they had gotten along until a few years ago, now he was her least favorite weasley. She didn't care that he apologized and went back to his family, he still chose work over believing them.

"Mr. Shacklebolt requests to see you later this morning at Eleven in his office, he only says it is an important meeting and that you should be on time. So if you have anything scheduled or planned please reschedule it. He handed over the letter which said almost verbatim what Percy told her. "

"Thank you Percy, I'll let him know that I will be there later this morning." She went back to her papers and checked her schedule. Making calls to either, reschedule appointments, or transfer them to another lawyer. Percy left as quickly as he came.

Pavarti staid for a while, catching Hermione up on the latest gossip. She wasn't all that Interested but she appreciated the Patil twin keeping her up to date anyway. It made her feel a bit more apart of things in and out of work. Maybe she Did need a vacation.

At a quarter tell eleven she said her goodbyes. Answered colleagues last minute questions and headed to the elevator. Curious to know what this all important meeting was about.

Hermione arrived at Kingsley Shacklebolt's office, at exactly eleven am. She knocked on the door and it swung open. Hermione looked around the small office as she entered. It consisted of a desk, chairs in front of the desk, a main one behind. As well as Cabinets behind the desks and various magical objects around the room, some of it confiscated dark arts objects. Those both intrigued her and gave her the Willis.

"You wanted to see me?" She questioned. taking a stand at his desk , and fixing her blue robes so she was a bit more presentable.

"Yes, yes. Take a seat Miss Granger" He indicated the chair's in front of the desk. She took a seat at the far left one.

"Hermione, Your the smartest witch of the age. Your Intelligent, resourceful, Quick and Skilled with your wand. I need you to go on some very important business for the Global Magic Association. You and Two guards of your choice. We need you to go on a mission for us, it does have its dangers. Before I give details. Do you accept?

"The world Association! Sir! What is so important that would band all of you together? Whatever it is, I promise I won't let you down ,I accept. and I choose Harry and Ron to be my guards. " She said the names without even really thinking. There was no one else she'd better trust her life to than her best friends.

She wasn't going to turn down this opportunity either, No matter how dangerous it was. If Hermione could make even the slightest bit of difference and good, she'd do it. Hermione had been feeling restless as of late, confined to offices and paperwork. She missed the research, the discovery, mysteries and the adventures that her school years had brought. Her work was important and she still believed that magical creatures deserved rights, and she'd never stop fighting for them. To have the opportunity to do even more was a blessing in disguise.

"I thought you'd choose them, in fact they are our best Auror's, I was going to suggest them to you. So I sent them a message, they should be on there way. I'll brief you once they arrive. They should be here soon."

Hermione sat in the chair of the office. nervously plucking lint off her robes. Her mind racing at the possible missions this could be. Thankfully Hermione didn't get long to ponder to much into the worst of the possibilities when the door swung open and her two friends entered. Both tall, one Harry Potter was lean and a bit lanky with jet black hair, glasses and a lightening shaped bolt on his forehead. He also had the greenest eyes Hermione had ever known. They reminded her of leaves on trees. Some would describe them as emerald, but emeralds were hard stones all look with little substance. Harry's eyes like their owner were soft and kind but she had seen them get hard protective and strong.

The second Ron Wesley had fiery red hair like his temper. He was broad and strong, a good strategist. He had the eyes of a clear blue ocean, but they could get was a bit insecure and unsure of himself but when it came down to it, he stood up to the challenge. They had dated for a few months after the battle of Hogwarts the year prior, but their personalities just kept clashing so they ended things on good terms. Hermione knew he still had lingering feelings but hoped that it would fade with time or he would meet someone new. There were things from the war that contributed to the break up. Neither of them were willing to deal with some Trama's and events that occurred in that time frame.

"Ah, men you're right on time." Kingsley gave them a smile in greeting and got out of his chair to meet them.

"What's the emergency? Your message sounded urgent" Harry said, getting straight to the point as always.

"Hermione what are you doing here?" Ron asked confused, and slightly out of breath. Hermione could only assume he was running to keep up with his best friend again.

Hermione sighed. "Because Ronald, I was asked here. Kingsley asked for me specifically."

"Since your here now," Kingsley Shacklebolt interrupted before they started to fight more.

" I'll tell you what I told Hermione. The Global Magic Assosiation, needs her services. Hermione has accepted the mission. It requires a great deal of care, I admit there are risks and it can be a dangerous job. Which is where you come in. You will be her body guards. In this case, having familiar companions will help a great deal"

Harry and Ron took the seats next to Hermione. Harry In-between the two, to make sure they didn't argue to much.

"What is the mission? What is it you need me to do?" Hermione asked, feeling nervous. She just jumped in without any prior knowledge, and the longer she had to think, the more she started to question her reasoning on accepting a mission she knew absolutely nothing about.

Kingsley stood up from his chair and went to the cupboard behind the desk. After a few quiet anxious seconds. He brought out a spherical Astrolabe, that had mini planets in rotation around the metal gears. He set it on the desk. Hermione was confused. It looked like an ordinary Astrolabe until she realized something.

They weren't their systems planets.

They were foreign something she had never seen before.

"Three centuries ago, there was an incident involving what the ministry thought was a typical asteroid hit southern Ireland , but because our astronomers' noticed it didn't coincide with any known showers, or anything heading out way. They sent out a few wizards and witches to go investigate the crash to see if it was an asteroid that went off course or something else. "

Ron made a noise as if to interrupt but Harry stepped hard on his foot.

"Quiet Ron, let him finish" Harry hissed.

"As I was saying" Kingsley continued as if he hadn't just been interrupted.

"When they arrived at the crash site, they found that it wasn't an asteroid. It's been recorded that they found a large metal like container instead and two people inside it they were knocked out cold and brought here to be healed and questioned. " Kingsly tapped the astrolabe with his wand and one of the planet's floated up toward him. It was fairly large, slightly bigger than Earth. It was a rusty color with circular yellow patterns, that Hermione quickly figured out were like lights. The planet looked like a giant city.

"They awoke and explained that they were from a different solar system, and from the planet they called Coruscant. Which is what you see here. It was then we discovered that we were not alone in the universe, our forbears didn't trust the outsiders at first. Over time though we began to form a connection with the arrivals. Discovering that they used a power similar to our magic.

"They are called Jedi, and they study and train mind and body to use something they call the force, even now the biggest guess is its a form of magic different from ours, I personally never completely understood. They defend those who cannot defend themselves and respect the life of everything they come in contact with. They are peaceful and non combative unless its self defense. Which is why I assumed they were patient with us. There job is to keep the peace, and balance to the universe."

"They crash landed here when they went off course because their mode of transportation , they called it a Ship. Got Damaged in some sort of cross fire, and went off course. They had know idea we existed and vice versa. Eventually we grew to trust them, and helped them with supplies they needed to fix their ship, in return they helped up develop tools to travel space, so we could establish diplomatic ties to their republic. We also exchange students, train some of their younglings who can use magic teach them, and they some of our children who can use their kind of power. In exchange We keep their existence from the muggles and general population to avoid mass panic, and they make sure we aren't brought into any wars, but are aware if we are in direct line of being in danger. So we can mount defenses. So far that hasn't happened yet. "

"Which brings me to why you are here Hermione, since our loss of Amelia bones, who was our previous Representative. We need someone capable of replacing her, someone smart and has Earth's best interests at heart. It isn't without its danger's as I've said. We've made an Enemy in Onderon another planet, Yes Ron there is more than one world" Kingsley sighed at bein interrupted.

Ron had made a snort. All this was not sitting well with him. He wasn't scared per say. It was just a lot tot take in, in fact it was very hard to believe any of this was real, He'd believe when he saw it.

"Onderon is another planet that has magic users like us. Their royal family has had it in for us. Believing we are a danger to them. Also there are those who would like to know the location of our world, since no one except for the Jedi and Supreme Chancellor of the republic. To use us to their advantage or destroy us because they to feel like our magic is a threat. Which is where you come in boys. Do you accept the duty to protect Hermione whenever we need to be represented?"

Neither hesitated.

"Yes" They said at the same time.

Hermione sat up straighter in her chair.

"When do we Leave?"

"In a week, it will take us that long to set up the transportation. In the meantime Amelia's guards will fill you in as much as they can. It will also give you time to get your work in order and functioning for periods of time without you."

After talkin for another half hour, in which they had a lot of questions. The trio finally got up and left Kingsly's office.

"Oh and Hermione, You need formal wear " He said before she left the room. Which got him a groan out of the young witch

Hermione stretched her arms above and behind her head. Feeling cramped from sitting so long, so she lagged behind the other two. Stifling a yawn she let her arms drop. Only to realize Harry had stayed behind as well.

"Ron will meet us at the mess hall."

"Hermione..." He trailed off.

"Hmm? what is it Harry?" She could tell he was worried.

Harry walked over tell he was right in front of her. He chewed his lower lip and put his hands on her shoulders.

"Are you absolutely sure you want to do this? No one would blame you for backing out."

"You think I can't?" Hermione looked up at her friend, who was a few inches taller than her.

Harry Shook his head.

"That's not what I said. I know you can do this. I'm asking you do you want to do this. You know we'll be beside you no matter what. But I want to know if you want to do this or if your doing it out of duty. It is dangerous"

Hermione held onto her friends arms giving them a slight squeeze and smiled in reassurance.

"I want to do this, am I happy they thought I was suited for the job despite my age? Yes. It will be no more dangerous than what we've done the last seven years" Hermione smiled and moved closer to hug him.

Harry hugged her back sighing. "Then we will protect you. "

"No," She murmured. "If something happens. Fight with me, not for me "

"I can do that, its a deal"

They broke the hug

"We better get there before Ron finishes without us." Hermione smiled and the two walked side by side to the mess hall. She wondered what the next couple weeks would have in store.
