Battle angel Hermione

A/N: I know that a lot of you are fans of my other work Hermione Stark but know that my muse is playing hide and seek and so I have decided to try something that has been in my story book for a while now. enjoy. I own nothing, HP belongs to the literary goddess JK Rowling. FFVII belongs to squire Enix.

We are losing. It's a sad but true fact. We had a chance but then the Acromantula came from the forest, they started killing indiscriminately looking for easy meals. This caused Voldemort to call in the reinforcements that we were hoping to kill him before they showed up. Now we are outnumbered with spiders in between us.

"HARRY, get to Voldemort! It's time for plan B." I shout over the crowd before dodging a yellow jinx heading for me.

"MIONE! We didn't come up with a plan B" He yelled back to me while blocking his own curse with a protago.

"We didn't but I did, I need to get up to the headmasters office. Its where the most of the school's magic is concentrated, It a direct connection to the lay lines under the school. I need you to cover me while I run in then head to snake face. Kill him and let me worry about everything else." I turn around and start running passing by the Weasley twins. Stopping and turning back just in time to see the wall starting to fall, running back pushing Percy and spearing Fred right in the stomach, knocking them out of the way.

"Thanks Granger! We owe you one!" the twins say as they hug each other.

"Then pay it back right now. I need someone to kill his pet snake, but it's spell resistant. I have these daggers that we put in basilisk venom, got them out of Harry's vault before we went on the run. We just need to stab the beast before Harry throws the finishing blow and snake face is gone for good." I hold out the blades and wait for them to grab them accepting the job. It only took them to look at each other then back before grabbing the blades.

"Job accepted, hunt the snake and take pot shots as we run by. Its like it was made for us." The twins said before giving a salute and running off one hand on each shoulder of Percy who was just standing in shock of almost being crushed to death by the wall.

I turn the way I was going and start running again, taking pot shots at death eaters as I run past. Just as I make up the stairs Fawkes shows up with a box. Just as I am about to open it the portrait of Dumbledore starts speaking.

"Miss Granger, I do believe I know what you are here for. I warn you if you chouse to do this you will likely be shunned. This ritual will bring you in to contact with powers that the ministry would prefer never see the light of day again."

I start moving all the furniture to the walls pulling out the rune carving kit out of the box as I answer him. "Headmaster I know this, just as I also know that no matter who wins today, I will still be discriminated. Be it being killed or studied like a zoo animal by people that don't understand muggles it was always going to be me leaving. Hopefully with Harry by my side. This is just to help Harry get his closure. After all we have been through, its always been me and Harry against the world. That shouldn't change just because I have had a one on one with Gaia, even if she is the mother goddess of all of creation." I end trying to be a little funny to hide my fears.

I finish etching the runes into the floor before taking a small white ball out of the box and walked into the circle. "Thank you for preparing this for me headmaster. I am surprised that you found one. Materia were said to be lost to time. It was believed that only pieces are left, and they have been used for head of house and heir rings."

"I think it's about time you call me Albus Miss Granger, after all you are about to become the strongest being on this planet if this works." The portrait said to her with a sad smile on his face.

"Only if you call me Hermione, Albus. And This will work! It has to or there won't be a tomorrow worth living." Finishing my statement, I sat down and centered myself. Outside there was a large boom but it was not heard by me. When I opened my eyes again the brown in them seemed to glow an almost amber color.

I spoke the words I had found in a book in the headmaster's study during the tri-wizard tournament while waiting for the other hostages to be collected.

"Gaia servare da mihi potestatem, et virtutem, ut defendat, in virtutis est justitia ut reprobi" *1

I was ingulfed in a white light then I wasn't anywhere, but I was everywhere. Suddenly there was a voice that sounded like a babbling brook .
"child of my earth, you called upon me in your time of need. As every child should. Your world has lost itself. I feared that I might have to restart upon it if it continued but as you have called there is hope. I will give you one who has been the calamity, he will serve his penance through you. He will join you within your mind, once a general he will help you with your battle as well as the political situation. With this I grant you the power of the ONE-WINGED ANGEL. For you shall be my new avatar upon the world. Should you fail or die this world will be doomed to a restart or apocalypse as your people call it. Go Daughter of my earth and save your people."

Without even being able you speak one word Gaia judged us and granted us power. Upon returning to our body the light stopped but things looked different. That was when Hermione realized that she was standing at about 6'8" and had long white hair that was dangling in front of her face. Quickly Hermione made her way to one of the shiny objects that albus had in the office that Snape never got rid of. Standing in front of the reflection was a tall beauty, slight waves was all that was left of her curly hair, her eyes were mostly toxic green with flex of her amber brown from before the ritual, her new muscled body was dressed in combat fatigues of some kind with a long black trench coat with metal shoulder pads. Her right hand still held her wand but over her shoulder seemed to be a long katana like blade.

"Damn for a chick we look good! Gaia sure made it hard to want to kill us at least." Hermione stumbled back a bit at that. "What did you forget about me. Gaia did tell you that I was to pay penance. I tried to destroy the world that made me and almost did too. I was like my worlds big bad like snake face out there. The difference is that I was made from an alien and trained to be a killer. Your big bad just has daddy issues and a need to prove himself. Oh, by the way I am Sephiroth, and a lot of your new looks come from me. I was a very pretty man if I say so myself, but I was a bit of a hard ass as my body had emotional limiters on it when it was made."

Hermione was dumbstruck to Sephiroth continued. "so here is the deal Mia, sorry but your name is to damn long, anyway I am going to transfer my knowledge of how to use my sword and the Materia that are now in our body to you and in return you will trade how to use a wand to me. That way if we get hit by one of them stunners and one of our personalities go unconscious the other can keep fighting. The uniform is Materia spell resistant so it should hold up to your wand ones so just avoid head shots and we should be fine. Masamune is the name of our sword but yours is a bit shorter than mine as you are shorter than I was. We can fly between our wing and the air Materia I know you had a fear of it before, but you will not fall. It's impossible for an angel to fall like that. And with that distraction the transfer is complete. Enjoy my powers I am going to sit in the background and watch you kick wholesale ass unless you need me."

Outside of her mind Albus's portrait was staring at her as with her eyes closed, she rolled her head causing her neck to crack before opening her eyes waving her hand opening the window then running and jumping out of it.

Hermione's wing opened almost right away, flying overhead to get a opinion on the battle she noticed that the castle was almost over run and all of the outer ring of people were death eaters so the easiest way to clear numbers would be to attack them with a wide range attack that they cant defend against. Then when they turn there backs to see what happens I can drop some help in near the light fighters before dropping into the middle of the cluster fuck to start the slaughter. Holding her hands out both start to glow red with Materia.

"Ifrit, lord of hell fire! Gaia's avatar calls you to this plane. Burn the outer ring of the men in black robes. They oppose Gaia's will!" Ifrit appeared floating in front of Hermione before bowing his head slightly and turning to attack the enemy.

"Knights of Round, guardians of Avalon. The evil in the land of your origin has trapped innocents within this castle. I call you here to protect the descendants of your people. If they were a black cloak and have the dark mark end them." 13 men in all medieval armor appeared placing a fist over their heart and a head bowed before going to join the fight with the order.

Casting a quick Sonorous Charm Hermione called out. "Order and DA, the knights and fire creature is ours don't attack them. Also don't attack me I am now tall and blonde. When we win, I will explain."

After ending it Hermione pulled out Masamune and took a deep breath. "ok Seph I am counting on you not to get us killed." With that Hermione pulled her wing in and started to have a controlled fall to the center of the remaining death eaters. At the last moment she pulled her wing back out slowing her fall into a heavy but safe landing with her sword impaling some random death eater through the chest. Quickly slashing sideways her sword moved like nothing was stopping it, as if it was not inside of a human. After realizing just how sharp Masamune really is Hermione smirked before going to town killing anyone within reach. If they had a mark or were in death eater robes, they died.

One and a half hours later everyone seems to have stopped attacking each other. The death eaters were pulling back. Voldemort seems to have called a temporary ceasefire. Hermione called her summons back to herself. "ifrit, kill any spiders trying to make off with any of the dead. They broke treaty, they die. Knights protect the people collecting the injured."

While walking around the grounds looking for injured people that could be saved, I checked the shrieking shack and found a still breathing Snape. "Fawkes! We need you!"

After crying on him to keep him alive the phoenix flashed him and Hermione to the hospital wing. "Madame! Need some help here!"

"What, we are not treating the enemy here miss!" she huffed at Hermione after seeing who she was holding.

"Exactly! This man kept the death eaters in this school from killing children and tried to make punishment lighter. He was a spy to the end and kept the order up to date. Who to you think he reported to after albus died? The death was planned, and I had a correspondence journal with both Minerva and Severus. I played middleman because the distrust had to be there for the plan to work. Now save this hero!"

With a shocked look on her face the medi-witch started working on Snape. Hermione walked out the door as the work was getting done. The twins walked up behind her and gave a wolf whistle.

"Damn Granger, you went from hot to drop dead gorgeous in like 20 mins. What's a bloke got to do to get something like that to even look our way. Fred said waving at her body while George nodded.

"Alright boys, that's enough. I know you both are head over heels for a pair of Gryffindor chasers. And have you finished the task I gave you?" Hermione said while looking at them over her shoulder.

The twins smirked at each other "Too true granger we definitely smitten but who said we can't appreciate a beautiful piece of art that you have become. And for your task we got the slimy thing dead and spewing black slime from the cuts in a spare room on the second floor. We were hoping to have Harry open the chamber of secrets so we can toss its corpse down there never to be seen again." George winked at her before adding "seems only fair to say those daggers have been used on more then the snake after the job was done. a lot of people were just dropping mid fight from poisoning."

Just as Hermione was about to reply to them Voldemort announced that he had killed Harry and was walking up the bridge with his followers behind him. Hermione walked out to the courtyard standing tall with the twins bracketing her. Just as Hermione was getting ready to charge the snake face Sephiroth spoke up.

"Hold! The boy is not dead, he is taking slow breaths, so it looks like he is dead. Be ready for when he makes his play. Tell the twins they seem to have your back. You may need them to keep the rabble under control till its time to make your move."

Hermione did a mental nod before turning and whispering in Fred's ear "you and George have twin telepathy right?" he made a small nod. "good, Harry is not dead, but he is going to make a play. I need you 2 to help me so no one runs to try to avenge him and gets themselves killed before Harry's ready. When he is ready, we will only need you guys to target the ones in the courtyard. Snake face didn't think his approach out. He lined his men up for me. Ifrit can burn them all before they can get out of the way."

Hermione smiled at the twin's gob-smacked faces before they nodded and spread out slightly so they could catch anyone that tried to make a run at snake face. After having to catch both Ron and Ginny the twins missed Neville when Voldemort called for them to leave the light and join him.

After a passionate speech from the young man Harry jumped up and pointed his wand at Voldy, starting the true final battle. With everyone focused on Harry and snake face Hermione surreptitiously ordered Ifrit to kill all the death eaters on the bridge and guard it in case some tried to run from there loss.

Harry and Voldy locked spells in priori incantatem and it looked like Harry was going to lose so Hermione decided that she would be the power that Voldy knows not as she flew behind him and drove Masamune through his back. It was a non-lethal attack but it was enough to weaken him so Harry could make the killing blow.

Harry was down on one knee looking at Hermione when she stood pulling her sword out of the ground where it embedded itself. Putting it back on her back she walked over to Harry.

"So, looks like plan B worked out but I need you to do something with me if you have the magic left in you to do it. It shouldn't take much. Are you with me I am doing this too. Hermione said with a wink.

"yeah, sure Mione, you know I would follow you anywhere. Let's do it."

"just follow my words ok. Pull out your wand."

Together they spoke the words "I do here claim the lands, gold and properties of all that I have slain, directly or indirectly, by right of conquest. So, I have said it so mote it be." *2

Together they both glowed and then hugged each other. Harry spoke first "So Mione are you going to explain why you are now a blond knock out instead of my quite bookworm."

"Haaaarrrry, if I have to. Me and Albus came up with a back-up plan ages ago. We hoped we wouldn't need it, but it was ready if we did. I would do a ritual to ask the first goddess for help, but to do this one has to be…. (mumble mumble)"

"what was that Mione?" Harry said smiling to her while noticing a small blush on her face.

Hermione spoke softly so no one but harry could hear her. "one must be pure in purpose, soul, and… body."

Harry's face now as red as Hermione's as he realized what she meant. "I see, well… um …"

Harry was saved from his stumbling by people coming over to him and Hermione. Minerva walked up to the 2 of them asking the question on most of there minds "Miss Granger would you care to explain how you look now and how you got control of that large beast that is on the bridge or the knights that look a lot like the legends of Arthur and the round table knights?"

Hermione stood up straight and looked into her eyes "Professor, I would love to tell you that, but I think that it should wait until we have a new minister and the upper ministry officers are in attendance. What I did should probably become a state secret. As anyone that attempts what I did will probably die."

Everyone's eyebrows shot up to hairlines and looks of shock were on faces all around. "For right now me, Harry, the Twins should probably go and hunker down somewhere. Anyone in the current ministry may try to arrest me and Harry. The twins we want to take with us because they know order meeting places, fidelius covered floos and they know some of what is going on with us already so they can understand somethings that I say." Hermione tilted her head before continuing "The Auror's are at the gates now. I am going to release my summons then Harry, the twins and I are going to go lay low for a while."

Hermione closed her eyes and let go of the energy that she was using to hold the summons on this plane, when she opened them again the 13 men that had been standing around the walls of the hall disappeared. Ifrit, Hermione assumed had done the same. Turning to Harry she grabbed his hand and one of the twins and pulled them running not to the front door like people thought but up the stairs.

"twins 4th floor passage, the end is collapsed but inside is huge, we can put up the tent in the space and be comfortable without anyone looking in here as they 'know' the way is closed." Hermione said as she let them go to run on their own while still pulling Harry after her.

"There is our brightest witch! Brilliant!" the twins said smiling while they took off running around the corner. Hermione would have been able to outrun all of them, but Harry was slowing her down like no one's business.

"Harry, I know you're tired, but we need to hurry. Do you mind if I carry you? We can get there faster. The faster I have the tent up I can ward it and they won't see us if they to decide to look in there."

"Do it Mi, I can't keep up I am just too tired." I pick him up and start dashing using air Materia. We make it to the mirror just as the twins open it. "bloody hell Mione!"

Harry laughs from in Hermione's arms "I know she is like she-hulk but better looking!"

Hermione slaps him upside the back of his head while pulling out her purple bag from the necklace around her neck. I am really glad I grabbed this before we left Malfoy manor.

Waving her wand, the tent flew out of her bag. "twins can you get this up while I put up some wards up."

The 2 of them saluted her again and replied, "aye aye, lady captain, mum!"

She swatted at them while waving her other hand setting up the wards "you 2 are bloody menaces! When it's up, get Harry settled in and call Kreacher, he is here at Hogwarts. He was leading the house elves against moldy and his munchers. He is still loyal to harry and would bring him some food, now that he is somewhere that has food to bring to us."

"got it boss, tent up, harry in, food ordered." Fred replied while helping Harry up while George just finished putting up the tent.

Hermione just finished putting up the wards when she heard words from outside of the entrance of the passage. It was filch talking to the Auror's. "I don't know why you wana to check this one, ant no one been able to use it after black closed it on ya's few years back."

The Auror bit back "open the door squib, Harry potter and his mudblood are wanted by the ministry and any place that they could hide needs to be checked.

2 Auror's walked into the room and Hermione was ready, although Seph wanted to kill them that would end badly so instead Hermione charmed them. A minor confusion charm made them mis-read the scan for wards.

"looks like the squib was right this time. on to the next passage." The 2 walked out and closed the door behind them.

"looks like our work is cut out for us." Hermione said to herself as well as Seph. "it will wait till tomorrow. Go rest. You used a lot of MP as well as magic today and need to recharge." He replied before saying "I will still alert so if your wards ping, I can move to intercept. Get some rest girly." Hermione yawned and walked into the tent.

A/N: so that is it. At Least for now. If you like it I will do a second chapter with the rest of her mission. So be sure to drop some reviews.

*1 Ritual translation: Gaia give me the power to save, the power to protect, the power to get justice for the fallen.
*2 the right of conquest: giving/taking of, all things to the winner of the conflict to avoid counter claims from distant relatives.
