The Wand and Watcher Chronicles
This story takes place a year after the final battle in Harry Potter and Post Graduation Day
Prologue
Hermione Granger was sitting at the tombstone of the last friend she had. It had been a year now since the death of Voldemort and the victory of the light; but that victory came with a price, the loss of her best friends Ron Weasley and Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix the official and unofficial with members all went down in battle with the exception of Ginny and Remus. They where so brave, they knew that they probably would not survive yet they fought anyway to ensure that the darkness would not prevail. She thought that she could move on in the Wizarding World after it was all over. She almost succeeded too, and then everywhere she went there were reminders of the good times that they had; Diagon Alley, Flourish and Blotts, Hogsmeade, Hogwarts, The Ministry of Magic, Grimmuld Place all held memories of the good and the bad. She was able to hold on with Ginny and Remus for a year she even attended their wedding, sadly, they too were gone, taken by Dragon Pox. Of all the ways for them to go. They fought against and helped to defeat the most powerful wizard alive only to die from something like that. Ginny lost the child first, then herself; Remus succumbed shortly thereafter. It was a strange thing, werewolves where immune to almost everything that the wizarding world had to offer yet, he caught it. Hermione refused to leave him even with the threat of catching the disease herself, she stayed and they talked about his life during Hogwarts and the friends he had besides James, Sirius and Peter. A man named Rupert Giles, a student two years ahead of them. He knew about Remus yet it did not bother him and he kept the secret, even made sure that Snape kept his word about not revealing anything about that night when Remus almost killed him. The letters where brief at the beginning but they did keep in touch as much as possible, as much as Remus could with all the moving around he did.
"He will look after you when I am gone. He is a good man, flawed but good and he will protect you with his life if need be. Please promise me love, I need to know you are safe when I am gone". Hermione smiled softly, sighed and took his hand "I can take care of myself Remus, but I will look him up if I need help" she replied. It seemed to satisfy him and he went back to sleep
Now looking at his tombstone it seemed like the only logical place to go. " I am going to the States Remus I can't stay here anymore it hurts too much. Maybe it is the change I need to move on, this Watcher business seems like a good place to put my talents to good use. I will see you in the next life. " She replied before kissing his tombstone

She had to go, too much death, not enough life she needed change and California seemed like the logical place to start. She packed her small purse with only the things she needed and left Grimmauld Place for the last time.
Meanwhile in a small apartment in Sunnydale California
Rupert Giles, only know as Giles to most he knew, was reading the paper in his apartment in Sunnydale. Things were so quiet now that the kids where gone off to college. As much as it annoyed him to have them walking in unannounced and raiding his refrigerator he missed that energy. HE missed Buffy most of all, being mentor to her. He never had a child, Buffy was the closest thing to it. He thoughts were interrupted by a soft knock at the door. He opened the door to a pretty girl with bushy hair and brown eyes.
" Hello, I am Hermione Granger. May I come in Mr Giles?"
