Chapter Three

Hermione sat on a step. "Morning ladies," she spoke to her charges as they came out of the hut.

"Morning Miss Granger." Came a sleepy replies.

Ginny Weasley sat next to her. "Hermione," the girl started. "Sorry, Miss Granger."

"Yes, Ginny," Hermione smiled at the redhead.

"What happened to you?" Ginny asked quietly.

"I had an accident."

"What kind?"

"Of the temporal." Hermione sighed. I sense Dumbledore asked her to ask me. "Ended up on an Airforce base in the states and it was four years in the past. Now I'm part of W Company."

"W Company?" Ginny was puzzled she thought Hermione was in the Air force.

"The full title, if you're sending Dumbledore owl's" Ginny went red. "Is The Honourable Untied Services Company of War Witches. Our main task are to locate any witch or wizard who can't control their powers and train them, kick the butts of Dark Magic dealers, offer support to the units based at our base."

"Where is your base?" The redhead grinned

"Can't say?" Hermione shook her head.

"Okay, have you been on active duty." Ginny had to think hard for the correct phase.

"Yes, several times, again I'm unable to say where."

There was a pause in the questions.

"Have you ever killed someone?" That one shocked Hermione a little.

"I'm a soldier." Hermione hung her head.

Ginny was crestfallen. The girl looked at her feet.

Hermione continued. "I didn't want to, but I sometimes when your unit, your friends are in danger, or when innocents are being attacked. That is the time you, are forced to act. Not because of any need or want, but you have no other way. The others ways have been tried or the foe, as made a choice not to try."

"I have always felt sick after wards, sometimes I cry when I'm alone at night. I know some of the others have. It changes you in ways you won't understand until you've been there." Hermione lifted Ginny's face. "I pray you're never find yourself left with only that path open to you, it's not easy."

"I just always thought you valued life." There was a sadness in her eyes.

"I do," the war witch smiled. "Just sometimes there's no choice, kill or be killed. Ask yourself what you would do, if your family were in danger and to save them meant you had no choices left."

"You see your unit as your family." A statement.

Hermione nodded.

"The ones under my command are my kids. As you were Lieutenant." Jack O'Neill stood there. "Don't want the young Miss knocked over. I think you better take a look at the notice broad. There's a nice picture of your legs and the young Miss sleeping."

Daniel Jackson yawned getting an early morning cup of coffee. "Get me a cup please."

"Major Rosenberg, I thought you'll be yelling up a storm in the seventh years dorms." Daniel mused.

"Got one of the girls that turned up earlier doing that Daniel. Please call me Willow we've know each other long enough." Willow sat down.

"If you will stop calling me doctor or sir." He passed her a cup of coffee.

"I can live with that." Willow grinned.

"Tell me Willow, do you know how Mione's meeting with her parents went?" He asked. Mione being a pet name the members of SG-1 used went referring to the younger officer.

"It was mixed." Willow thought back to the meeting.

"Mum, Dad." Hermione spoke, as she entered a small conference room that had been set aside for this purpose.

"Hermione is that you?" Her mother shrieked rushing over to her. "What happen to you?" Her mother was looking over her who was in her standard uniform of paled grey trousers and black jack.

"Mum, I'm fine." Hermione tried to reassure the older woman.

"Fine!" He father roared "You were our little girl. Three days ago. Now you're a grown woman in the space of a few days."

"Dad please," Hermione pleaded. "It's been four years. Four very long years for me."

"Why didn't you contact us?" Her mother gasped.

"I wasn't allow, what would have happened if my younger self had discovered me? It could have meant the end of everything."

"So what are you now?" Her father asked

"An US Airforce Lieutenant."

"But your English." Her farther protested.

"I was adopted by one of the officers on the base. Besides, your mum's dad was a duel national. So they made me a duel national too."

"Then it went on from there." Willow slipped her coffee.

"You know cause?" Daniel smiled from across the table at the witch.

"Daniel, I don't also have the rank of Acting Witch Major-General for nothing." Willow winked. " Besides, I see Mione has my little sister."

"Then do you know Graham, as a crush on her?" Daniel asked 

"It's mutual." Willow slipped some more coffee.

"So what do we do to get them together?" Daniel smiled.

"Are you suggesting I do something against the rules?" Willow grinned. "Cos' casting a spell would not be right."

Out on the exercise yard the sixth and fifth years groaned again. "Okay ladies," Major Carter yelled. "Stop groaning." She paced. "That was a one mile run. I must say you seem to be struggling. By the end of your three months you should be able to run at least five miles, do half an hour in the gym hut then another five miles, if you've entering your sixth year of school. "Now get to the mess hall. Then after breakfast Major Rosenberg is going to putting you though a test."

There was a groan.

"To see if any of you have developed the ability to do wandless magic." Sam continued. "Miss Abbott is their something wrong with your ankle?" Sam stopped in front of Hannah Abbott.

"No Major." She grimaced.

"Report to Dr Frasier." Sam could see the girl's ankle was badly bruised. "Now, Miss Abbott."

Hannah walked painfully off to the medical hut.

"Anyone else injured?" Sam asked.

There was silence even though several of the girls had black eyes and cut lips. "I that me state this once. There is no houses here. You do not earn point or lose points for your Hogwarts houses here. Miss Bulstrode, next time you trip someone up remember I or another officer will know about it."

Hogwarts latter that day. The boys well being taught drill when Professor Dumbledore received an owl from Ginny Weasley. He read it a few times and decide to read it to the boys at when lunch was being served. He stood up.

"Your attention please I received a letter this morning I think some of you will find interesting. But first a couple announcements. Miss Granger will not be returning in the autumn. She had a what is being termed as a temporal accident. She is now a fully grown woman now for the letter." He opened it up the letter and began to read.

Dear Professor Dumbledore

Okay, it's the first day here. The first morning in fact. Hermione knows that I'm writing to you. She answered a few of my questions openly.

Here are a few things so far to today;

i. She's a member of W Company, the full title being The Honourable Untied Services Company of War Witches. The Motto on the flag is 'To walk though the Fire'
ii. They work like Aurors do, though you work with muggle soldiers with some things, 
iii. She has battle experience. Said she can't go into details.
iv. I asked, as she killed the answer was yes, (That was upsetting. I wish I hadn't.) When there was no options left. The way she explained it to me was her unit, is her family.
v. Millicent Bulstrode's been tied by a rope to Hannah Abbott. hehe. Millicent tripped Hannah and now must help her for the rest of the day. A lesson in taking responsibilities for ones actions.
vi. I have what the call a power limit test today at 10.30am if I want to under take it. I think I might. I get to meet Major Rosenberg at closer quarters. She has this strange aura. ( I've discovered I can see auras.) It can't be read hers, well I don't have the skill to. It's shielded some how. Now, I think of it so is Hermione's. A couple of the instructors are too.
vii. Colin, as really taken to re-con training he's a natural. He's loving the fact he's getting to get covered head to toe in mud while doing it. 
viii. On the romantic side of things. (For Professor's McGonagall and Sinistra.) Hermione's got a crush, on a certain Captain Miller. (Us girls have a gym class with him! Must try to concentrate) She doesn't know that the good looking, crushworth Captain's as kept looking her way. Matchmaking plans please.
ix. The seventh years have just got back from their first early morning run. They look like they're been though a hedge backwards a few times. Ooops! Looks like they went on the assault course by mistake! Ouch! The camp doctor Dr Frasier, just ordered them to line up outside her hut.

Write more soon.
Ginny Weasley

P.S. Say, Hi to Ron for me. Got drill practical in 30 minutes.

There was a few gasps. "Harry did my sister just write that Hermione's a War Witch?"

"What's a War Witch?" Was the whispered question.

"A War Witch, is a Witch that is also a trained soldier, lads." A soldier that was teaching them drill answered the question

Daniel Jackson shook his head he was observing the power limit test. The test was sit in a chair and then place your hand on a metal plate and channel you magic against it. The equipment then measured the force you could press using wandless magic.

"Miss Brown." Willow spoke looking at Lavender Brown's results. "You managed to press 10kg of magical power. You have above average power levels. In fact you have enough power to caste your first year spells. If you can centre yourself for long enough. Now Miss Brown, I believe you have a bed making demo to watch."

Lavender bounced out of the room with a smile on her face.

"That's the first one to even push the plate that much." Daniel spoke.

"Well, they were sent to Hogwarts to learn to use wands." The redhead filed away results

"That's bad?" Daniel asked.

"It's a two edged sword." Willow looked who was next. "The use of the wand lets a witch or wizard tap his power earlier than it's ready to appear. The power is sometimes not mature enough to be tapped. The putting aside of a wand helps the power to mature. Hence the restriction on the students."

"Isn't Mione's lot due next." Daniel rested his head on her shoulder.

"Yes." Willow giggled.

"What did Mione score?" He grinned.

"A ton." Willow smiled.

Several hours later Willow and Hermione were speaking in the medical hut.

"She won't be able to stay at Hogwarts." Hermione stated. "She pushed what 10,000 tons. They're not equipped to teach her up to that level of power. I don't have the experience or knowledge to guide her. She'll need a top end alpha witch at the least."

"No, the girl's an high omega level witch." Willow added. "Over time she would be stronger than me. Have you noticed that birthmark she as. She was born a warrior witch."

"Voldemort will want her. If he finds out. Poor Ginny." Hermione sobbed. Ginny Weasley had fainted after pushing the plate with her power, she as sleeping at the moment nearby.

"Then it's up to us to make he doesn't." Willow spoke firmly. "I've spoken with SG command and O'Neill, all we can do is watch the girl. I've double the guards, stating that we need the extra. I want you to speak to Dumbledore in person tonight, brief him that the situation is deadly serious. What Ginny is capable of must remain a guarded secret. Take Captain Miller with you. Hermione, if attacked caste, first ask questions later, understood. His orders are shoot first."

"Yes Major." Hermione left to get her stuff together for the trip.

"Dr Fraiser, I'm putting a guard on the outer doors for tonight." Willow spoke to the doctor. "The power levels got though the cloaking wards. Voldemort won't be able to locate her but he knows she's out there."

"So what's going to happen to the kid?" Janet asked.

"I'll take her, as my apprentice if needed." Willow replied.
