Hermione stopped in her tracks before she ran into him.

"How did you get here!"She demanded.

Zugar made a fireball in his hand, and sent it towards her.She brought her hand up and reflected it.As he was reflecting her counter she punched him directly in the face and then did a round kick to his head sending him flying to the ground a few feet from her.

"Rumor I need help outside."

Rumor was in Dumbledore's office at the time when Hermione sent him the message with her Brain, he stood up and left the office leaving Dumbledore in mid sentence.

Dumbledore followed Rumor, and they even picked up some people on the way like Harry,Ron,Blaise,Draco, and some Professors.Lavender,Ginny, and Parvati saw the group, and desided to follow also.They were to nosy to leave well enough alone.

Rumor opened the doors to the entrance hall to see Hermione fighting Zugar.

He had her by the throat when she kneed him in the gut, and sent an energy ball at him.

Everyone stared wide eyed at the fight.

Hermione was preparing for another fight from Zugar when he dissappeared.She put her fists down, turned around, and was getting ready to walk to Rumor when she was hit from behind with a lightning bolt.It sent her a few feet closer to Rumor where she rolled over to face Zugar again.Ron ran infront of her before anyone could stop him, and got the bolt.

"RON!"Hermione ran to his side and rolled him over.She looked at Zugar who smiled and dissappeared for good this time.

Hermione looked back down at Ron.Everyone came running toward them all talking at once.Harry felt for a pulse, but there was none.

"We should take him to the infirmiry."

"What am I gonna tell my mom?"

"Who was that?"

"look."

Everyone looked down and saw Hermione glowing with a blue light around her.Her eyes were closed, and then the wind picked up.

Madame Pompfry came out of the castle followed by Snape who went to get her.She stopped infront of the group, and when she was getting ready to pull Hermione away Ron opened his eyes and took a breath.

Hermione stopped glowing, and she opened her eyes.She looked at Rumor and smiled.

"It has begun."He said more to her than anyone else.

"What happened?"Ron asked sitting up to receive a hug from Ginny who was crying.

"You got hit by an energy bolt that was meant for me."Hermione said.

"You were dead till Hermione saved you."Harry said then he looked at her "How though?"

"I'm a Goddess remember."

Ron gave her a hug "Thanks Mione."

"Anytime."She said smiling at him.She went to get up but stumbbled into Rumor's arms.

"You should rest."He told her.Hermione nodded and leaned on Rumor for support until Draco swooped her up in his arms.

"Who was that guy?"Draco asked her.

"Zugar.He found me."

Draco carried her inside, and to her room where he and Harry, and Ron stayed till she woke up some 4 hours later.

The next morning Rumor, and Dumbledore called a staff meeting to try and figure out how to keep Hermione safe till she was ready to battle.

"We need to up the charms around the castle, and maybe put a blocking magic charm on Hermione."Professor Mcgonagall said.

"You can't block her magic it's natural not given, and more powerful then your usual wizard."Rumor said.

"How about the crystal defence?"Snape said."We can put crystals up around the grounds, and then they'll deflect any evil coming in."

"That may work Serveus."Dumbledore stated going to a cabinet, and pulling out bags of crystals.

Hermione skipped breakfast that morning and went straight to the library.She had to get all the information she could on Zugar and hopefully find his weak points.

She felt like she was there forever when Draco joined her.

"What are you doing?"He asked seeing the mounds of books infront of her.

"Trying to find everything I can about Evil Gods.I thought maybe if I could find stuff out then maybe I could link some stuff to Zugar in order to beat him."

Draco picked up a book, and began reading.A few hours later they decided to take a break for lunch, and try to get more help.

Zugar watched Hermione with interest.He watched how she interacted with her boyfriend and friends making a list in his head of possible weak links.

"She'll eventually figure out how to block me, and then I'll be stuck."Zugar said to himself then he snapped his finger making to people appear.

"Sunday, and Niko just who I needed to speak with. I have a mission for you."

They bowed down "What is it master."

"You will go to hogwarts find a couple student bodies to take over, and get in good company with Mia.Find out everything you can about and then report it back to me immediately.

Sunday, and Niko nodded, and dissappeared to find a couple bodies within Hogwarts to take over.

Zugar laughed watching as Hermione ate and chatted with her friends.

"The war begins."
