I do not own anything
Chapter 1
Hermione looked around the small cottage. The cold summer in Glasgow slipped through the open window sending a chill through the monochrome kitchen. The retro theme that was spread out through the house brought a smile to her face. Hermione whispered a cleaning charm and turned picking up her satchel purse and cardigan.
It was 1999 and Hermione was the new head of Torchwood 2. Hermione had rebuilt it after it being destroyed for so long. Hermione walked past the waterfront development and into the revolving doors of the bank that 'hid' Torchwood. Her second in command 'Archie' already there. Hermione sat behind the main desk and booted up the computer.
"Does Hermione want Archie to get coffee?" Hermione looked up at the eccentric man and nodded her head. He flashed a grin then turned and went off. Hermione sighed and shook her head, she wouldn't be expecting that coffee for a few hours. Hermione turned back to her computer and opened her email. She read through each email greatly surprised at the news of Alex Hopkins killing himself and his team. It seemed the base in Cardiff would be taken over by Captain Jack Harkness.
Hermione had heard a lot about this immortal and couldn't wait in till they crossed paths. A loud siren made Hermione jump. Sighing she walked over to the main computer to see what the disturbance was. Hmmm...seems like Hermione would have to go find Archie, picking up her wand, anti-weevil clamps and two compact MI9II she set off to find him. Hermione found Archie in conversation with a middle age banker. She pulled him away and informed him on the situation. The heavily armed black jeep was ready for them. Archie turned they keys and Brittany started blearing. His cheeks coloured and quick denial came out.
Hermione pulled up in front of the abandoned factory. Hermione slipped out of the car and towards the gate. She slipped on a pair of data gloves then ran her hands across the computer security system. The light turned green and she moved in with Archie close behind. Hermione crept along the cold factory wall. Turning her body she looked at the lock. Whipping her wand out she whispered 'Alohomora'. She turned to her partner and held three fingers up slowly counting down. Once her hand was fisted they both lifted their legs and kicked open the doors. Hermione identified the aliens immediately and held her hands up, Archie following her actions.
"Aquarbi, we come in peace, but question your presence here on earth." The half-human, half-horse aliens turned and frowned at the petite witch.
"Earth. We once had strife with earth little witch but we now only want to find home." Hermione kept her hands in the air as she walked towards them. She talked about centaurs and a forest with the name Forbidden.
Hermione slumped into her chair, the talk with the Aquarbi had been successful. Archie plonked in with multi coloured socks on his feet. He laid 2 coffees on Hermione's desk and threw himself onto the opposite love seat. Hermione swivelled her chair to face the bookcase that covered the back wall. She ran her hand lightly over the 13 Dogon Eyes that she had collected along the Horcrux hunt. Their ugly beauty fascinated her. So little was known about them and Hermione had spent about 2 years researching them. Of course she had heard about Eugene Jones and she was still trying to get in contact with Henry Parker. Hermione spun back to face Archie.
"Archie, I have a feeling big things are going to happen soon."
