Author Note:

This one has her become the Flash. A rather problematic super hero as the secondary powers he would require to do half the things he does are hand-waved. So in this story there is just as much handwavium as there is in one of those books. Also if you've ever seen the Tim Allen film Zoom I threw some of that in here too. Not a crossover. I'm shite on those. But the themes at least. I hope. My wife said its kinda cute. I hope you like it too. Mature rated as usual. Usual disclaimers of I own nothing of this, I know nothing of this. I disavow any knowledge of writing this.

Dennisud: Thanks I was hoping to be a bit more serious this time around. Although this one should be a bit more comedic, in places especially.

Jadesabrexiv: Enjoyable but Creepy. I can live with that. Yeah I wanted each one to be more of a reflection of that aspect of her core personality but with that subtracted from her. How she and they would interact with others if they didn't have the full range of emotions and personality that a full person would have but would still have the full intellect and brainpower. I'm glad it worked out. As for expanding it into a multiple chapter full fledged story I have it saved on the hard drive, a jump drive, and the idea written in my notebook of doom as my wife calls it. So when I get a few of the other serious ideas worked out and finished (Retold Saga, Adoption of Ginny and Nargles 2) I may look at it. The way my mind works though a party of war squirrels may come and carry me off into the far reaches of Antares. Thanks though for the compliment.

OfficerDanNZ: Thanks. Pain is close to pleasure and part of life in equal measure. Glad it made sense. Things don't always escape my head making as much sense in the wild as it does inside there.

N0wa5t3r: Thanks. Cassandra and Beatrice are rather fun. Hermione but without the restraints. And yeah I modeled her off of 7 of 9 from Voyager so she wasn't entirely emotionless just they were restrained and subdued. She was actually the most difficult of the four to write from as I am a very passionate and emotive person.

September 1st 1994

Harry and Ron were chatting with Ginny when they saw Hermione come through the barrier onto 9 and ¾. She must have been running very late as the Weasley's had been early and still among the last to board the train.

Her shirt was unbuttoned exposing a pale blue sports bra and a lot of cute flesh Harry noticed. Her hair was ruffled like she had been riding a broom but he knew she hated heights, and flying a broom in London was illegal without precautions and permits.

She came up to them and Harry thought he felt a fly or something brush across his lips as she hugged him.

"Hey Hermione are you feeling better?"

"Yeah I sure am."

"Well you might want to button up before you catch a cold." Ginny said in an arched voice.

Hermione looked down and went "oops. Oh well at least the bra stayed on this time."

"Hunh?" Ron and Harry both said simultaneously in confusion.

"C'mon lets get on the train." Hermione led them aboard.

=====xxxxx====

"Okay Hermione thanks for the view but what's with the open shirt look?"

"Well first off Harry you'd see more of me on the beach in France as I go topless there with mother. And secondly I lost all the buttons somewhere around Mayfair."

"Mayfair? Wha?" Harry looked at her as she pulled out a green bottle and began drinking. Chugging it completely she sighed.

"Ahh that's better. Oh guys if I ever pass out take one of these from my trunk and give it to me. It'll help."

"What is that and help with what?" Ron demanded.

"Calm down Ron. I'll tell you. And you'll find it funny. Only I need the three of you to promise not to tell anyone."

"Not to tell anyone what?"

"That I made a mistake with a potion I was brewing." She said digging in her trunk for a uniform blouse.

"Bloody hell the world is going off the axis if she made a mistake."
"Ron I'm only human. It happens to everyone."
"Yeah sure."

"Okay so what happened and are you okay?"

"Yeah I just have to be careful with runs like that. We were running late this morning so I decided to run here. I mean I could get here quicker running than how dad drives anyhow."

Ron laughed, "Yeah right. You mean you ran from where you live to the train station, on foot."

"Well yeah thanks to the mistake I made I can move really really fast."

Ron scoffed at her, next thing he and Harry knew He was wearing a girl's pink blouse and had lipstick on.

"Oi what the fu.. How did that happen?"

"I ran up and borrowed Lavender's blouse and lipstick."

"You did what?"

"Yeah your Chudley cannons T-shirt is now touching her nice cantaloupe sized breasts. Quite firm and perky those puppies are."

"Uh I better go give this back."

Harry raised his eyebrow, "First you tell us not to tell anyone then you do something like that. Counter productive much?"

"Oh we can just blame it on a switching spell from Fred and George or something."

"So what happened?"

"I was mixing a potion of quickness. You know how it normally only doubles your running speed or reflex reaction time?"
"Uh okay."

Ginny frowned, "Yeah its illegal in every magical sport and can get you a lifetime career ban."

"I know but I brewed one, only I used the microwave to reduce the liquid in the Ginseng and powdered zephyr flower. Bad idea. It changed the properties so I'm a bit hyper and can run and move really fast."

"Uh how fast?"

"Well I'm not really sure. I pushed it and I can get supersonic. I haven't been able to test my upper limit as I blacked out the last time. Hence the special energy drinks." She said breathlessly.

"Right. Okay."

"Well. I know its a lot to process. You should see dad trying to figure this out. Mom is just taking it in stride though. Oh this means you won't be alone over the summer anymore Harry I'll be able to come and visit you."

"Good I'll appreciate that."
"Okay good. Uh can I take a nap on your leg?"

"uh sure." Hermione put her head on Harry's thigh and was sleeping soundly moments later.

"Wow. This is going to be crazy." Ginny said.

"Yeah you think Ron got killed by Lavender yet?"

"I dunno. I don't hear any screaming so either she was cool with it or he died peacefully."

=====xxxxx=====

Hermione woke up an hour alter. "Oh thanks Harry. The energy drink helps but I sometimes need a nap or I get so drowsy."

"Hey its okay."
"Wheres Ginny and Ron?"

"Well Ron is up with his girlfriend Lavender. She told him if he wore her shirt to the castle she would wear his and they'd be a couple."
"Did she at least let him wipe the lipstick off?"

"Yeah although it was only because she said it clashed with his skin tone. Ginny is staying to see how far Ron will go before he bails."

Hermione laughed. She still hadn't taken her head off Harry's thigh. "The boy's desperate."
"Yeah I know." Harry chuckled though he hoped Hermione didn't move her head any as she would notice something that was happy to have her where she was.

"Harry are you okay?"

"Yeah what makes you think I'm not?"

"Well you're almost as twitchy as me." She said sitting up.

"Well uh. I mean have a pretty girl sleep on my leg was rather nice."
"Oh you're sexually aroused. Yeah mom told me all about that kind of stuff and I have several books on it. Do you need any help with it?"

"I. I'm fine. Uh. Not here anyhow unless you can go fast enough no one notices."
"Harry if I were to jerk you off at my maximum speed I would give you a friction burn there that would be horrific. Besides according to mom going slow for that is a lot more fun. Although does this mean that you want to be my boyfriend?"

"Uh yeah I guess if you want me to be."

She went from sitting beside him to instantly in his lap kissing him.

=====xxxxx====

The rest of the ride was entertaining as Hermione got bored a lot easier and talked so fast sometimes Harry had to struggle to keep up. She had already done most of her homework for the year. And was working on next years at least in some of the classes. She finally said she would meet Harry at Hogsmeade and sped off.

=====xxxxx=====

When the train finally came into Hogsmeade Ron was walking off with Lavender holding his hand. Head held high wearing a coral pink lipstick to go with his shirt. The fact that Lavender was wearing the Strawberry red which was on his neck might have helped.

Ginny shook her head then saw Harry. "Hey where's Hermione?"

"She said she'd meet us here."

"Yeahsorryaboutthat. Iwasinthebookstore. IhadgonetoHoneydukesfirstandhadacoupleofsugar quillsandohmygodthesugarrushhitmeandIjustfeltlikeIwasgoingtoexplodeSoIwenttothebookstoretocalm down. Ofcoursethiswasafterrunningaroundthevillageacoupleoftimes. Ireadeverybooktheyhad. ItwasamazingbuttheyhavesomereallystupidonestheretoobutLavenderwouldlikethose. Soanyhowarewereadyletsgo?" She said in a rapid blur hat Ginny and Harry barely understood.

She got two steps after she turned and fell face first in the dirt.

"What the hell happened to the Mud-blood Potter?"

"She was so overcome by your hair gel smell she passed out." Ginny snarked to Draco.

"Yeah well might as well leave her there. Where animals like her belong."
"Here now whats all this?" Hagrid said coming over and preventing Harry's much wittier snark back.

"Uh Hermione passed out." Harry said as a way of explaining.

Hagrid looked at the quietly snoring girl. "Well better carry her up to the carriages then madam Pomfrey."

Harry picked Hermione up in a fireman's carry he had been taught in primary school and carried her limp form to the carriages.

"Hey Harry. Anyone tell ya that's not how yer supposed ta pick up girls." Seamus laughed.

Putting Hermione in a seat he arranged her carefully then sat next to her as she leaned against him. A slight line of drool on his shoulder.

=====xxxxx=====

Harry checked on Hermione after the feast. She was sitting up eating a high calorie meal it looked like.

"OH Hi Harry. Sorry for passing out on you. I normally sneak sugar away from mom and dad when I get here. You know dentists and all. They still don't quite understand that magicals don't get cavities."

"Yeah you said something about a sugar rush. I think. You got kinda blurry there for a minute."

She frowned. "Well darn. Okay well I'll have to be more careful. Thank you Harry for carrying me. I really appreciate that."

"Can you move slow at all?"

"I'm working on it. I have to consciously force myself to do so. Even thinking slow is hard to do sometimes but then to be perfectly honest that's not much different than before."

"So what happened?"
"I got a couple of sugar quills. And you know those things are pure spun sugar. That much sugar that quick on a mostly empty stomach went straight to my bloodstream. But it felt and tasted sooo good Harry."

"Yeah too good."

"I know I'm sorry for scaring you."

Harry told her about the feast and the tri-wizard tournament and they began to make plans knowing that with Harry's luck he was somehow going to wind up involved.

=====xxxxx=====

Hermione brewed up several more of her energy drinks and tried to keep slow enough she didn't need them. Her boredom in class led to her making elaborate plans and designs. Working on various other projects of her own. Snape had given her detention until she produced the entire years worth of homework in one sitting. Then he gave her detention anyhow for being impertinent and working unsupervised.

The others noticed that at the meals she took the most carbohydrate, starch and protein loaded foods and ate 4 platefuls of each, every meal. Ron started to say something but Harry just shook his head.

======xxxx====

"I've been here a month and I've read almost every book in the library." Hermione complained one day.

"Yeah well what do you want me to do about it?" Ron grumped still trying to get his first Transfiguration paper finished.

"Well I don't know. If I do your homework for you then how will you ever learn so don't even ask me."

"Well maybe you could explore the castle or the grounds or something?" Harry suggested.

"Maybe. Sounds cool."
====xxxxx=====

Harry started waking up on occasion with Hermione asleep beside him. Her hair mussed and sometimes with sticks and twigs in it. She said because it was easier to explain bing in his arms than being mussed in the girls dorms.

She came in one morning with a big smile. "Hi guys. I told mom about us Harry and she's happy."

"We haven't had the post yet Hermione." Ron huffed as he walked past her.

"Oh yeah sorry. I lost my watch somewhere around Yorkshire."

"Yorkshire?"

"Yeah I went home last night after dinner instead of bed. I think I'm getting my endurance better as I ran most of the way there and back on two energy potions."
"Uh Hermione this power isn't doing anything to hurt you like make you grow older faster or something."
"No I'm still me. As much as I'm using it I would be like dust by now you know. I've been like this since July and its coming up on Halloween."

"Okay well I guess if that's good then."

"yeah. I mean this is not a bad comic book or something."

=====xxxxx=====

Harry had his name drawn which was no big surprise to him or Hermione. Ron got bent claiming Harry was being an attention whore. At least until he kept having random wedgies and sudden breezes blowing his pants down.

Hermione finished reading the library and studying. It took her a bit to find the information she wanted on the tournament. When they found out the first task would be get a golden egg from a nesting Dragon Hermione taught Harry a bunch of spells but had her own plan. She had looked at multiple copies of the rules including the ones stored in the ministry. Which was really easy to infiltrate at speed.

A champion had to complete three tasks. The first task was usually to retrieve an object. Check golden egg from nesting dragon. Second was use the clue in the object to figure out a riddle then rescue a hostage. Third was a maze of death and conflict to reach the cup. They had to do each of these tasks alone with just their wand. Originally that was literal and all they would have was their wand, not even robes. Ron would love that with Fleur. They could not receive help from anyone outside of the task once a task was begun. However there was a loophole she could rush in grab the egg and hand it to Harry before the task actually begun. If she timed it right Harry would get the egg, she wouldn't have to watch him get eaten by a dragon and everything would be ok.

=====xxxxx=====

Ginny and Ron saw Hermione stand by the stairs to the stands eating a pair of sugar quills. Ron was about to ask her something when Harry stepped out of the tent and walked to the box. Bagman raised his arm to blow the whistle when there was a loud bang and Hermione was sitting in a chair her blouse blown open with her hair mussed. She was casually drinking one of her energy drinks and winking at Ron. Bagman blew the whistle to see Harry hold aloft the golden egg. He looked confused then blew it again.

======xxxxx=====

At the party the egg made its screech and they were upset.

After Cedric told him to take a bath they were happy.

The Yule Ball was fun with Hermione dancing on Harry's arms. She had managed to figure out a slowing potion that allowed her to be as slow as normal people she said. Even if her thinking was clear enough.

The Second task saw Hermione at the bottom of the lake. Harry completed it well enough.

======xxxxx=====

The third task Hermione was sitting there tapping her feet and glancing nervously around the stadium. She had a couple of sugar quills in her lap and kept fingering them. She knew she couldn't help Harry with this one as the final cup was a portkey but she would be ready none the less.

"Geez Mia calm down. You're about ready to vibrate out of your clothes."

"Sorry I drank some coffee before coming down. I have a bad feeling about this." She managed to say only slightly faster than a normal person.

Ginny nodded but shook her head. Ron on the other hand was sitting beside Lavender a few feet away as he and Harry had not completely made up yet.

Hermione watched Harry's progress with a tracking charm she had developed to point towards Harry. Technically it pointed at whatever target she assigned when she cast it but this time it was following Harry.

She saw red sparks but as Harry's pointer kept moving she felt comfortable. She saw it start spinning though after a moment then settled pointing rather southwesterly when the stage was almost due east of her position.

She immediately ate the sugar quills then ran to Ron, "Ron give me all the candy you have on you now!"

"What what for?"

"Ron just do it?"

She felt the sugar buzz forming from the quills so she didn't wait for Ron and ransacked his pockets. Shoving more sugar quills and chocolates into her mouth she felt the vibration buzzing building. It was a physical palpable thing. Everyone around here started moving in slow motion as she began to run. She seemed to be moving through quicksand to her.

To an outside observer she had blurred over to Ron then stripped him of all his sweets before vanishing in a streak of light with the deep pa-boom of a sonic boom knocking people flat.

She ran following her instincts. Trees, rocks, houses all mere blurs that she barely registered until after she had already passed them. Her reflexes on their highest tingle she soon arrived at Harry's location. Her clothes had been blasted from her except for the tight spandex undergarments her dad had bought for her at a specialty shop. Fortunately the grip on her wand was firm enough to not lose it.

She saw a hideous man thing climbing out of a dark black cauldron. She saw Harry tied to a gravestone with Peter Pettigrew bleeding from a stump beside her. She also saw a very strange snake that looked venomous coiled near the cauldron.

She took the knife and cut Harry free. She grabbed Pettigrew with a binding spell and gathering Pettigrew, Harry and Cedric's body dew the cup back to them so they landed on the platform. She felt the sugar buzz fade as they landed and blackness rose to great her.

=====xxxxx=====

She woke aching and feeling very wind burnt all over. She looked around and saw she was in the hospital wing. Harry was sleeping in the chair by the bed in the grey light of either late evening or early dawn. She wasn't quite sure.

She sat there trying to move fast but didn't seem to move any faster. She carefully got out of bed and tried running to the door s and back but she could actually feel the distance get covered. She was back to normal again. She wasn't fast anymore.

The doors opened behind her and the Headmaster, Professor McGonnegal and Madam Pomfrey came in, "Good evening Miss Granger. How are you?"

"I'm normal. I'm not fast anymore."

"Ahh well that is good I suppose. Fast Women do have more interesting lives but often unpleasant ones."

"Uh yes sir."

Harry woke up hearing everyone talking and smiled when he saw Hermione. She came over and gave him a chaste hug as she got back into bed under Madam Pomfrey's hawk like eyes.

"So what did I miss?"

"Well the last week has been quite interesting."

"I was out for a week. I must have missed end of term exams."

"Oh they were canceled."

"Oh." She sighed in sadness.

"Well anyways. Sirius is exonerated, Barty Crouch Junior was mysteriously discovered by your friend Mr Longbottom in the stands who beat him rather senseless with Alastair Moody's false leg. Alastair himself was found in his own trunk that Crouch was using. Pettigrew has confirmed that Lord Voldemort has returned. As two men who returned from the dead were in front of him Fudge could very hardly deny there was a third one."
"Especially when Barty Junior confirmed his dark lord would return with the death of Harry."

"Oh wow. What about the snake in the cauldron?"
"A very interesting specimen. It proved rather resilient to the normal sort of spells and required a killing curse to put it down. When it died a strange and rather disturbing apparition was released. Also confirming for those present that Tom had managed to remain among us."

"Professor Dumbledore has said we will spend this summer training and preparing as he feels the war will come soon. That we will be Members of his group. We've proven ourselves worthy. Especially you."

"But I'm not special anymore. I'm back to being just slow normal me."
"Ahh Miss Granger you retained all the knowledge you've read correct?"

"Most of it. At least."

"There are ways to recover things you thought forgotten. I believe your friends have sometimes referred to you as the brains of the outfit?"

"Well sometimes. Although Ron has used it to make fun of me."
"Well we all could use more brainpower sometimes."
Harry grinned at Hermione taking her hand to hold in his.

=====xxx-xxx=====

They spent the Summer at Sirius' home. With him a free man he was much happier and willing to teach. Hermione studied the Black library but at her normal pace.

The war came and Dumbledore had told them about Horcruxes. Kreacher supplying the one when he learned they sought to destroy them. Dobby told of a secret place in the castle that had many things hidden within it. Dumbledore retrieved a ring but as he did not go alone he managed to survive. Harry had been taken with him to help as had Sirius.

Sirius had also spoken to the Goblins about his cousin Bellatrix's vault since she had not produced an heir and she held many of the Black family treasures. He was not very surprised to discover within the vault one of the Horcrux they sought.

The battles raged across the land as both sides gathered their forces. The Ministry had been infiltrated but the ones like Arthur who still upheld the forces of light managed to fight them off. The final battle came at Hogwarts when Voldemort sought out Harry to slay him. His anchors had all been destroyed except Harry which only Dumbledore knew about.

It had been almost two years since Hermione had last been fast but during the battle she had to be in so many places at the same time she began to feel herself pick up speed. Things slowing down as she blurred. Fred was pushed out of the way of a falling wall. Little Luna her friend pulled out of the way of a Troll's club. Blasting Fenrir through the back of the head with a silver candlestick at high speed when he tried to maul Lavender. She had been a whirlwind on the battlefield. She was not fast enough though to reach Harry before a burst of green light struck him down. Screaming his name she borrowed the sword from a nearby suit of armor and charged Voldemort at high speed. All he saw was a rippling blurry shadow of speed before the sword plunged through his chest followed by Hermione as she was moving too fast to slow down. His arms, legs and head all flew in separate directions as his torso was exploded from the impact.

By the time she had slowed down and run back to Harry he was struggling to his feet with the help of Neville who had come to his aide. The head of Voldemort being kicked around like a soccer ball by the victors.

She smiled as she looked deep into Harry's eyes as they kissed.

=====xxxxx=====

20 years later Minister for Magic Hermione Potter was seeing her eldest son Daniel James off to school for his second year. Her husband was not with her as he was waiting at the other end of the train ride to receive them as Assistant Headmaster and Defense Professor. Former Headmaster Dumbledore having retired to the next great adventure and Minerva McGonnegal replacing him.

"Now remember DJ if you do try and do that fast again use more lube, friction burns are not a laughing matter."

"Yes mom." He said embarrassed.
"And no sugar quills unless you have to come home quickly for something."

"Yes mom. I understand." he said seeing some of his friends and getting distracted as he gave her a quick hug. He ran off to join them.

Her next oldest son, Charles Sirius waved at his brother this year. Next year he would be riding the train with his brother, while Emmaline and Lily Luna would wait two and three more years.

She looked around at the full platform. Wondering how many of the friends and associates would have died if things had been different. Ron and Lavender smiled and waved at her. Their brood that had not gone on the train surrounding them. Ginny and Seamus. Luna and Neville. Even Draco and Daphne Greengrass as he had seen the error of his ways and reformed. Maybe into a grey morality at least but that was till better than his father.

She took her children's hands and once out and away from others in the parking garage she grinned and making sure they weren't observed transfigured their clothes into sleek spandex suits. "Race you guys home. Loser does the dishes."

Some people on the sidewalk looked at the pure blue sky as they heard the strange multiple pa-boom of thunder they thought. They shrugged and went on their way.
