(Start)

Sought by the greed of man since the dawn of humankind but only bestowed upon the woman whose fate is forever scars, the Witchblade. Is it the righteous sword of God or the hand of the devil himself? Now a new bearer has been chosen and she must discover the answers herself as she stands on the brink of destiny she is forced to seek the balance between ecstasy and ruin.

(Start Department of Mysteries)

Hermione, Harry, Ron, Luna, Neville, and Ginny had all arrived at the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic. They had arrived here in hopes of finding Sirius here but something didn't add up to Hermione. They got lucky when learning Arthur Weasley was injured here but how can they explain Sirius being here. In fact for Hermione something didn't add up to her on this situation.

They knew Sirius was innocent after 3rd year but the Ministry and the Wizarding World at large did not. They still think him the traitor who sold out Harry's family to Voldemort. By this logic Sirius wouldn't have been able to get here unless he was brought here in chains. Hermione wanted to voice her concern on the matter but she knew Harry when it came to his closest family didn't wish to take such chances after what happened to Cedric last year.

They arrived at their destination which was the same room as before with all these spheres of Prophesies. As they arrived at their destination as Hermione saw it or more like no one saw it. Sirius wasn't here, there was no crime scene, no blood puddle, and most of all now Aurors dragging him away. "Harry… I think we may have walked into a trap." Hermione said as she looked around.

Hermione was a muggleborn Witch and student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and well ever since her first year the term 'normal year,' never seemed to exist with her group of friends comprising of Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley. Normally they either had to deal with a Dark Wizard trying to revive himself, a crazy tournament, or anything that can ruin a year from first all the way to now. Their 5th year involved a toad of a woman who was basically screwing their education over to further ruin Harry and Dumbledore because the Minister wouldn't accept that Voldemort was back.

Hermione knew that if she said anything she would be disregarded or shut up by the Ministry and she did not wish to die and leave Harry to suffer. She stood by him and Ron and she was happy to be their friend because in the ends she was the brains between them. Some even said Hermione would do better as a Ravenclaw but if she was a Ravenclaw she didn't think she would have such great friends in Harry and Ron. But then nearing the end of this year with Umbridge as the 'Headmistress,' Hermione knew her days may be numbered and she felt even though they tried their best the DA couldn't beat Umbridge and her use of a the truth potions.

The fact Umbridge was getting away with using a cursed quill Hermione knew Hogwarts was even willing to help them fight back. She won't lie she wanted… no she needed power of some sort to help her friends she would even sell her soul to evil if it meant saving those she cares about and she would do it with the courage of a True Gryffindor.

The night prior to their plan Hermione had this peculiar dream as it was the same night Harry had the vision of Sirius. She saw a Gauntlet of sorts an odd one as it lacked the rest of the armor if it even had one and another thing to note about it was that it had an ominous red gem on it as Hermione had heard this particularly ominous voice as well.

'Seek me out the place of power is where I rest.'

It was strange as Hermione chose not to bring it up later hoping she was not making a grave mistake. She had awoken and when she heard of what was happening to Sirius after the Twins big spectacle during the O.W.L.'s Hermione knew something was changing. So after Hermione trick Umbridge into going to the Forbidden Forest with them where they met Hagrid's half-brother the Centaurs took her and with a Thestal ride to the Ministry they found themselves where this began.

Hermione with a light from her wand then noticed a stray glow from the shelves. Hermione looked to it and began to walk torts it as she saw the glow get stronger with her approach. Hermione looked and saw the DU here were still talking amongst themselves and decided to take a chance and check out the Prophesy calling out to her. She looked and saw her name was on it and was wide eyed as that wasn't right as she looked to it wondering if it was some sort of trick.

'Why would a, prophesy have my name on it, I didn't do anything noteworthy.' Hermione thought as she looked upon the round container for the, prophesy. 'Maybe it's a mistake or maybe it's something different.' Hermione thought as she then reached for it and decided to investigate the Prophesy herself.

"Long Sought by the greed of man since the dawn of humankind but only bestowed upon the woman whose fate is forever scars, the Witchblade. Is it the righteous sword of God or the hand of the devil himself? Now a new bearer has been chosen and she must discover the answers herself as she stands on the brink of destiny she is forced to seek the balance between ecstasy and ruin. Allied to the Chosen Boy who lives, for she is the balance and soon the foes she battles and slaughters shall she learn and see truth for the Angelus and the Darkness shall soon descend upon her and the boy who wields the sword of Kings." The Prophesy said as Hermione looked to this. It was both straight forward and also cryptic as she knew she read something about the Witchblade in a book somewhere but it was very vague of its descriptions that Hermione swore it was almost like it was purposely censored for some unknown reason.

Soon they heard movement as they moved their wands to the source and to their shock they saw a Death Eater there waiting for them. "Where's Sirius?" Harry asked as the Death Eater Stalked torts them.

"You know you should really learn to tell the difference between dreams…" The Death Eater began drawing his wand from his cane to reveal Lucius Malfoy. "And Reality." He said as Hermione was still holding the Prophesy involving herself. "You saw what the Dark Lord wanted you to see." Lucius said as they all saw they were in trouble. "Now hand me the, prophesy." Lucius demanded as he was meaning the Prophesy in Harry's hand while Hermione was able to keep hers hidden.

"You do anything to us I'll break it." Harry threatened as then an insane laugh was heard as they all looked as from behind Lucius another Death Eater walked out.

"He knows how to play." The Death Eater Woman said as she looked to Harry. "Itty Bitty baby Potter." The woman said as Neville and Ron both recognized this Woman.

"Bellatrix Lestrange." Neville said as he saw her walk up a bit as Hermione saw the fear in Neville's voice.

"Neville Longbottom was it? How's mom and dad?" Bellatrix asked in a taunting matter as Neville got angry.

"Better now that they are about to be avenged." Neville growled out as he was about to attack and break the Prophesy only for Bellatrix to look ready for an attack as tempers began to rise up.

"Let's calm down, let's all just calm down." Lucius said as he held his hands up showing he meant no harm. "All we want is the Prophesy." He said as they needed to retrieve that.

"Why did Voldemort need me to get it?" Harry asked as Hermione saw the Prophesy she as holding was blinking again as she looked discreetly to it and saw it seem to shine and blink more torts a certain direction.

"He dare to say his name, you filthy half-blood!" Bellatrix yelled as Lucius stopped her to shut her up.

"Now, now he's just a curious lad. Prophecies can only be retrieved by those about who they are made which is lucky for you." Lucius said as then all of a sudden the air went cold as Death Eaters began to show up and surround the group. "Haven't you always wondered why there is a connection between you to the Dark Lord?" Lucius asked as he wanted the retrieve the Prophesy for his master. "Why he was unable to kill you when you were just an infant." Lucius asked as Hermione began to devise a plan in her head as if what Lucius said is true and if her hunch was right, her Prophesy was leading her to this 'Witchblade,' weapon. "Don't you want to know the secret of your scar? All the answers are there… Potter in your hand all you have to do… is give it to me and I can show you everything." Lucius said as he was right in front of the group.

"I've waited 14 years." Harry began as Lucius saw he had Harry in his grasp.

"I know." Lucius said as Harry had them right where he wanted them.

"I guess I can wait a little longer NOW!" Harry called out as the Stunning spells were shot out and in turn creating an escape path.

"Follow me!" Hermione called surprising everyone but they agreed anyway as Ron and Harry saw the sphere in her hand.

"Where did you get that?" Harry asked as it seemed Hermione was using it as a guide of sorts.

"The same way you found yours!" Hermione called as they had to make their way through this maze of Prophesies.

They kept running as they got separated for a bit as they fired off spells to subdue any and all Death Eaters who got in their way. "Where are we going?" Ron asked as Hermione looked to him.

"I have no clue!" Hermione called as soon they were surrounded on both sides by Death Eaters. But something was off about one of them as he held his wand out ready for use.

"You fool lower the wand we can't risk harm to the, prophesy!" His ally called as the unknown Death Eater looked and then use da spell.

"Stupify!" He invoked firing his spell and stunning his 'ally,' as he looked around. "Follow me children." He said as he began to lead them away.

"Did we just get helped by a Death Eater?" Ron asked as the Death Eater made a shushing noise. "First yes and no all I'll say is that it pays to be able to easily jump between the light and the dark." He said as he began to lead them away from the Death Eaters.

They sent stunning curses out and on rare shots from this Non Death Eater Killing Curses as he looked to Hermione. "You lead the way to our prize." He said as Hermione was shocked by this.

"Our prize?" She asked as Ron looked confused.

"The only weapon that can tip the tides of the war in the favor of whoever can wield it." He said as Hermione looked to him in confusion.

"A weapon?" She asked as the Death Eater Chuckled.

"The Witchblade." He said as it seems his goal was this Witchblade.

"Witchblade?" Harry and Hermione asked as Ron went wide eyed.

"Wait wasn't that the artifact that started the Witch Hunts?" Ron asked as the Death Eater chuckled a bit.

"Yes and no but the Witch Hunts was how it got its moniker." He said as they soon regrouped with the others as Neville, Ginny, and Luna aimed their wands at the Death Eater as he raised his hands.

"Wait he was helping us!" Harry called as the Death Eater sighed.

"No they are wise to keep their wands on me, I don't side with Voldemort nor do I side with Albus I only side with the Balance of things." He said as it was basically telling them he was neither enemy nor ally but for now he was an ally.

Soon the Death Eaters were gathering as the fake Death Eater glared at them and then fired a blasting curse at them before it caused a chain reaction. "Run." He said as they made a run for it as they ran to the exit as the Prophesy Hermione had a death grip on was leading the way in a game of hot or cold.

They soon escaped the room as they ran for it as soon they soon found themselves falling through some sort of void. They cried out save for the Fake Death Eater as they fell to what may very well be their deaths. Soon as they fell they found the ground as they were about to fall but stopped suddenly before they were released.

"Bloody Hell." Ron said as he looked around.

"Um guys." Hermione said as they all looked and saw the Prophesy Ball she was holding was shining brightest in this room.

"Where are we?" Ron asked as The Rogue Death Eater spoke.

"The Vault where some of the most dangerous magical artifacts are kept for study and research." He said as he looked around and then took his mask off revealing a young man in his early 30's as he stretched a bit. "And lucky for you kids the prize I want is here also." He said as he soon had wands pointing at him.

"Who are you?!" He demanded as Hermione then recognized him.

"Uncle Jackie?!" Hermione asked surprising everyone here.

"Uncle?!" Ron asked as Jackie smirked.

"Hey beam sprout." Jackie said as he revealed his real name. "Kids the name is Jackie Estacado I was involved with Hermione's aunt who is named Sarah Pezini." Jackie said as he looked to them all.

"I didn't know you were a Wizard." Hermione said realizing where she may have gotten it from.

"I'm not." Jackie said as he looked to them. "Let's just say I faked it and be done with it." Jackie said as he looked around.

"So he was playing double agent?" Neville asked as Jackie looked.

"No I only helped them so I can take back what went missing when Sarah… when she passed." Jackie said as it was clear he missed Sarah even after all this time. "But… now I'm worried it was a mistake." Jackie said hoping his surrogate niece didn't end up with the damn artifact that had caused many bloodbaths in the past.

"Well if it can help us maybe we should." Harry said as Jackie took the robes off revealing his black duster/suit combo as he cracked his neck a bit.

"Kid think before you grab it the Witchblade is not a toy." Jackie warned as he spent a good chunk of time hunting down the missing Witchblade to keep tall dark and gruesome inside quiet.

"What is the Witchblade anyway it seems you're really against it." Hermione said as Jackie sighed a bit.

"Hermione the Witchblade is not something you take lightly once you have it… it changes you and depending on how you look at it makes you unrecognizable even to yourself." Jackie said as he had fought alongside the Witchblade many time before.

"We need to get out of here they'll be here soon." Ron said as he realized they were cornered in here.

"If they do I'll send those Neo Nazi's out in body bags." Jackie said pulling out a handgun and cocking the hammer showing he was ready.

"Those won't work." Neville said as Jackie smirked.

"I know a guy and he got me hooked up with Silver bullets, basically a powerful Magical conduit and also a Wizards worst nightmare." Jackie said as he could also use his friend if worse comes to worse. "Plus I got a few other tricks up my sleeve to use also." Jackie said as it was clear he was packing.

Hermione then saw the Prophesy sphere shining brighter than before as she looked and saw it was leading her torts a case of sorts. "Hermione stay away from any gauntlets you find got it!" Jackie ordered as he glared at her. "All of you get behind me and make a bright light trust me." Jackie said as it was clear he may have to use it.

Soon the Death Eaters clouds appeared as Hermione then saw something her surrogate uncle was doing as she saw to her shock something dark, organic, and evil forming around his body. He then roared out as soon Snake like Tendrils shot out of him grabbing the shadows and throwing them aside especially one that came torts Hermione.

Jackie then fired at them as he was now wearing a dark mask as he glared at his foes as he kept them away from Harry specifically. There were cries of pain no doubt the Death Eaters and soon the only ones left were Jackie, Harry and Hermione as Jackie glared at the shocked Death Eaters who held Ron, Neville, Ginny, and Luna hostage.

"So we find the spy." Lucius said as Jackie smirked under his mask. "It's surprising how did a Muggle sneak into our ranks?" Lucius asked as he kept his distance. "But looking at you now… it makes sense I had thought that bloodline had died out the one that carries the Darkness." Lucius said as Jackie glared.

"Not surprised some Wizards heard of it." Jackie said as Lucius glared.

"Well Mr. Estacado someone with your reputation that the American Magical Congress refuses to intervene with you have a very bloody and dark reputation to your name." Lucius said as no doubt his Lord had vied for the Darkness which was only given to the Estacado Bloodline or if the bloodline had died out given to a host who has a very dark and bloody history.

"Don't try and butter me up as it looks I got what you want by the nuts and you got hostages of your own." Jackie said as he went torts Harry as Hermione began to head torts the case hoping she wouldn't be noticed. "Besides who says I'll care what happens to those kids, I'll smash the, prophesy and kill all of you just for pissing me off." Jackie said as he glared at his foes.

"Yes Jackie kill them all and don't let the Witchblade find a new host." A dark, Demonic, and vile voice within Jackie hissed as he ignored it.

"What?!" Hermione and Harry called in shock as Ron and Neville looked scared. The Death Eaters heard Hermione in a different spot and saw she was right at the case as Bellatrix saw this as the case had the tarp removed revealing a clawed gauntlet for the right arm similar in design to the Darkness' armor.

"Wait that's…" Lucius began as he saw it as Hermione saw the engravings on the case as Bellatrix smiled an insane smile.

"Witchblade." They all said as Lucius was giddy now if he can bring the Witchblade to Voldemort he would be greatly rewarded, Bellatrix had other ideas for if she can bond with the Witchblade she can win the war all in Voldemort's name.

Bellatrix then smiled and dropped Neville kicking him down with a stun curse and ran at the Witchblade as a dark shadow. "Hermione!" Jackie and Harry called out as Hermione acted and ran to the Witchblade as fast as her feet could carry her.

"That Witchblade is mine you filthy mud blood!" Bellatrix yelled out as she then fired a slicing curse at Hermione. Hermione saw this and didn't have enough time to act as when it hit her blood shot out as Hermione was knocked down to the ground as her blood was pooling as she had a shocked look on her face.

"Hermione!" Jackie roared as Bellatrix grabbed the case and laughed at her victory.

"Yes the Witchblade My lord will be most pleased!" Bellatrix laughed in an insane laugh as the red crystal 'blinked,' in an organic way as it looked to Hermione. Hermione looked back as she began to reach for the Witchblade as Jackie moved in on Bellatrix and sent a tendril at her.

But to his shock the Darkness sent another one at Hermione forcing Jackie to act and pull back as he saw the Darkness was trying to kill Hermione. "No not now." Jackie cursed as he had to hold the Darkness back before it could hurt his niece.

The Witchblade saw this as Hermione was dying and then Bellatrix smashed the case open and took the gauntlet. "Now bond with me Witchblade!" Bellatrix smiled but just before she could slip her arm into the gauntlet the Witchblade sent tendril's at Bellatrix stabbing into her arms and legs causing her to cry out as her blood shot out. The Witchblade landed on the ground and with a burst of its own ancient magic flew torts Hermione's waiting arm and all before anyone could act it slipped onto her right arm and when it did the red gem upon it shined bright.

Her eyes shot open, only instead of her usual brown eyes, they were an eerie gold and the sclera had turned black. Red tribal tattoo-like markings formed on her cheeks. Hermione then gained a sadistic smile as she felt it the euphoria mixed with a Bloodlust drive. She knew she should have rejected it but she didn't it felt too good to her like a drug you get a taste and want much more of it.

Hermione then began to let out a laugh an insane and sadistic laugh as everyone looked to her as the Witchblade began to spread up her arm from her gauntlet. "Now… it chose her?" Bellatrix gasped holding her injuries only for tendrils to shoot at her from Hermione's own right hand as Bellatrix acted and moved out of the way.

Then, what would happen next would turn the whole situation around and change Hermione for the rest of her life. This was when everything that was supposed to happen... became altered. For the better or the worse.

Hermione grabbed her throbbing right hand as the gem grew wider around her palm while her laughter and smiled grew wilder. It protruded as trails of smoke spewed out of the gem. The smoke swirled in wave-like patterns while encircling Hermione's entire body.

She was now clad in bizarre and very revealing black body armor. Her hair had turned long, crimson and was wild and coarse, reaching down to the small of her back. The armor covered a third of her body, leaving the rest of her showing bare skin; leaving nothing to the imagination.

The armor contoured and segmented to the natural curves of the body, from the bottom, the feet had become enclosed in bladed stiletto heels. The armor continued up the right leg and connected to the back while the left leg had the same armor but stopped short after the knee. It covered the entire back and peaked over the shoulders and the sides of her abdomen; it also covered her large breasts and womanhood but only just barely.

The right arm was the most unique of the entire armor. Each of the fingertips ended with a little blade. On the back of the hand was a red jewel that gave a haunting glow. The greatest feature was a blade on the forearm that ran from the elbow all the way up to the wrist where it jutted outwards into a point. The one thing that was starting to spook the Death Eaters even Bellatrix was the girl's smile. It wasn't a happy one or a smug one. It was cold, sadistic and silently promised unspeakable pain and by the way she was breathing it sounded like she would enjoy every minute of it.

Hermione then let out an ominous raspy yet husky breath as when she did a wisp of red followed as she then smiled as the Darkness host also saw this. "Bloody Hell." Ron said as he wanted to enjoy this but this was not the time as Neville even had to look away to avoid his friend from getting up.

Her body quivered as new energies coursed through her rejuvenated body. She now felt an erotic pleasure for battle awakening within her. There was nothing, but silence at the very moment. And appropriately so. This was a moment that happened so suddenly and would change the tide of this conflict.

"Well Death Eaters…" Hermione said as the wisp of red stopped as she then looked to her pray with a sadistic almost erotic smile on her face. "Wanna play?" She taunted while crouching down allowing her shapely rear end to get up while she grinded the claws on her arm across the ground creating sparks.

Hermione smiled cruelly as she then jumped up in time to avoid a Killing Curse from Bellatrix which nearly hit Jackie and Harry as Hermione saw her first 'contestant,' for her blood lust. Bellatrix quickly turned around when Hermione got behind her only for her to grab her by the face and slammed her into the ground before sliding her head across the ground leaving a trail of blood and destruction while she was at it. She then flung Bellatrix to the wall creating a path way to another room as the Death Eaters all saw this.

"Kill her!" Lucius called out as Jackie cursed as he had to go.

"Damn." Jackie said as he went to Harry. "Take care of her and protect her." Jackie warned Harry promising him pain if he fails as Harry nodded just as Jackie vanished into the shadows. Hermione was hit by blasting, cutting, and killing curses as she avoided each of them with ease as she then grabbed Lucius Malfoy and slammed him into the ground and then forced him to the hole made from Bellatrix crashing to the new room.

In the room which had a large archway Lucius landed as he tried to get up only for Hermione to grab him again between her legs and breaking his own leg forcing him to limp as Hermione then threw him to the wall. "Oh what's wrong is that all you got?!" She taunted with sadistic glee as soon a Male Death Eater grabbed Hermione forcing her to the Archway.

"What a pretty thing… if I separate you and your gauntlet perhaps Lord Voldemort will reward me with you as my pleasure servant." The Death Eater asked as Hermione looked bored of him.

"Sorry you don't cut it for me." She said before from her right arm a blade shot out and in turn she sliced off the Death Eaters arm causing him to let go and cry out in pain as blood spewed from his stump as Hermione looked to the blade and licked the blood off it showing a red stud on her tongue. Soon more Death Eaters showed up as Lucius fired a Crucio at him with Bellatrix aid as Hermione took both Torture curses full force but to Bellatrix own fear and shock she just laughed at it as she smiled at the two with a bloodthirsty glee as they saw the Witchblade was granting Hermione great power.

"Come on!" She roared sending tendrils at them as Bellatrix moved fast as Lucius had to avoid the attack as well only for Hermione to grab him.

"I hope you studied because I have a question, what my name!" Hermione roared out flinging Lucius around prolonging his suffering as she slammed him onto the ground and against the far wall leaving a trail of blood and destruction in her wake. "Say my name you Fucking Magic Neo Nazi Man Bitch!" Hermione roared at her as the others began to catch up as Harry saw this.

Hermione then sliced off Lucius wand arm disarming him of his wand as she kept at it. "I said say my fucking name!" Hermione roared out slamming Lucius who was suffering a most horrible death at the hands of a Mudblood powered by the Witchblade. "SAY IT SAY IT!" Hermione roared out running across the wall with Lucius face in it causing his blood to streak across it.

"Hermione… Granger!" Lucius cried out hoping and praying by saying it she would end his suffering and then… it ended it went dark for Lucius as it was first pain and then silence. Hermione dropped the corpse of Lucius as her claws were stained in his blood as the Death Eaters were all shocked by this.

Hermione then saw the blood dripping from her claws and then licked it in an erotic fashion as she then smiled that sadistic blood thirsty smile as she then let out a sensual erotic breath. "Who's next?" She asked in a sensual tone showing she wasn't done yet as the Death Eaters saw Hermione wasn't one to die so easily.

Soon more Death Eaters arrived as Hermione saw them all here as she smiled a sadistic smile seeing them all here which made her very happy bitch. "Oh look you brought me a shit tone of presents!" Hermione called out as she was going to enjoy this.

The Death Eaters saw Hermione as she then charged straight at them as she began to slaughter them one after the other as the Prophesy for her was left forgotten most likely fulfilled as she used her bladed heels to slit the throat of a Death Eater from the air before extending her blade and slicing the Death Eaters as she ran through there crowd.

"Bloody Hell she's like a blender." Ron said as he wanted to vomit as he saw Hermione annihilating the Death Eaters left and right.

Avada Kedavra!" Bellatrix shot out as Hermione saw this and ran straight at the green beam of death and then with her left arm produced a shield deflecting it at another Death Eater shocking them all.

"Is that all?!" Hermione taunted as her thought had one common word in them.

'Kill.' Hermione was going to kill them all and she was going to enjoy it all. "Let me let you in on a secret Bellatrix was it? You ain't the Queen Witch Bitch here. I AM and you are just an inbred bug!" Hermione roared out as she charged at Bellatrix who was firing every curse she had in her arsenal to stop Hermione but the attack did nothing to the young blood thirsty Witchblade Wielder.

"Stop now!" Came the voice of one Peter Pettigrew as Hermione looked and saw Peter was holding Ron hostage as the fighting stopped.

"N-not another move or he dies!" Peter called as he had Ron hostage while the other Death Eaters had nabbed Neville, Luna, and Ginny as Harry had to save them.

Hermione looked ready to attack again but didn't want to risk Ron's safety as she retracted her tendrils and blade to hear his demand. "Now hand over the Prophesy and he'll live." Peter said as Ron looked to this Gryffindor House Traitor.

Harry looked down as he saw Hermione looked ready to fight some more as he even saw the arm with the Witchblade on it flexing itching for more bloodshed battles.

Harry then handed over the Prophesy to Peter who took it and let Ron go as he saw this. "Good." Peter said as Harry glared at him only to see a light land behind him. Peter saw where Harry was looking and looked behind him to see Sirius was there.

"Stay away from y Godson." Sirius said before he punched Peter knocking him down as soon more lights appeared as Hermione saw this forcing the Death Eaters to release their hostages as the Prophesy Peter had snagged shattered on the ground. Hermione smiled and charged in to fight more as she was loving this.

Sirius took cover and saw a Death Eater fire a curse at him only for Hermione to show up and decapitate him with the Witchblade. "Bloody Hell whose she?" Sirius asked seeing a girl as insane as Bellatrix fighting Death Eaters Left and Right.

"That's Hermione." Harry said as Sirius saw this as Moody joined them,

"Well she's doing more than we ever did." Moody said as he saw Hermione laughing and enjoying the combat driven euphoria and sexual erotic pleasure.

Tonks meanwhile grabbed Luna while Remus saved Neville leaving Hermione to grab Ron and push him to safety. "What the bloody Hell has gotten into her?" Tonks asked as Ron looked to Hermione.

"Something called the Witchblade." Ron said as Moody saw this and growled.

"That weapon chose her?" Moody asked as he honestly didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing knowing how Albus viewed killing people.

Tonks went after Bellatrix as Bellatrix was laughing a bit only to go after Hermione who grabbed Bellatrix from her black fog and once she had a Tendril around her neck threw her to the side as Bellatrix laughed some more.

"Oh I like you." Bellatrix said as she was feeling this rush go through her fighting the Witchblade. "But who am I fighting Mudblood Granger or the Hermione Witchblade?" Bellatrix said as Hermione smiled a sadistic smirk.

"Come and find out Voldemort's slut." Hermione taunted as Bellatrix and Hermione then went at each other as both ended up in a black fog where they were fighting before being forced to separate and land.

Hermione landed on all four as her claws and blade were dripping blood as Bellatrix was now nursing some new injuries. "Oh you're good." Bellatrix said as she never thought she'd face a foe just like her in the form of a Mudblood.

"Come on then." Hermione taunted as she rubbed her hands across her body. "Give me a wild night." Hermione taunted as it was clear the Witchblade's Bloodlust was driving Hermione for its first use right off of bonding with her. Bellatrix then smirked and flew off with Hermione looking for her.

Sirius and Harry were taking on Peter and another Death Eater as it was clear they were winning before both were disarmed as Hermione lost sight of her toy before she saw the two Death Eaters. Hermione stabbed the unnamed one with her blade before slicing him in two and then grabbed Peter by the neck and slamming him to the archway of the Veil.

"Do I have permission to kill?" Hermione asked as Peter looked ready to wet himself.

"No he needs to answer for his crimes." Sirius said as Hermione let out a playful yet sadistic pout.

"Oh don't ruin my fun can I at least maim him?" Hermione asked as Sirius looked to the two.

"Tempting." Sirius said with a grin only for something new to happen.

"Avada Kadavra!" Bellatrix invoked as Hermione and Harry saw it just in time to see Bellatrix had landed and nailed Sirius with it. Sirius looked to Harry and Hermione as he smiled before he fell into the veal and vanished. Harry could care less what was happening around him, Sirius just fell through the veil and is mostly likely dead, he just didn't want to believe it.

"HARRY! HARRY! There's nothing we can do! We have to get you out of here!" Remus was shouting holding tightly on to Harry.

"NO! NO! WE CAN STILL SAVE HIM! THIS IS ALL MY FAULT!" Harry had tears streaming down his face as he said this. "No it isn't Harry it was Bellatrix! Bellatrix killed Sirius" Remus shouted back trying to stop him.

"Then I'll go kill her!" Hermione called out as she went after Bellatrix herself.

"No Ms. Granger stop!" Remus tried but Hermione was already going after Bellatrix. Harry then weaseled his way out of Remus hold and went to help Hermione as they both had the same target in mind. But with Hermione as she was now… Harry wanted to watch what horrors Hermione would unleash upon Bellatrix with the Witchblade.

(With Hermione)

"I killed Sirius Black!" Bellatrix taunted as Harry joined Hermione as Hermione sniffed the air to find Bellatrix. "You coming to get me?!" Bellatrix taunted as Hermione smiled just as Harry fired a spell.

"Crucio!" Harry roared out firing the spell at Bellatrix knocking her down in pain. Hermione seeing this went after Bellatrix and pinned her almost straddling her. Hermione then grabbed both of Bellatrix's wand holding hands and broke both hands making an auditable horrifying snapping sound. Bellatrix screamed in pain but also began to laugh as she looked at Hermione.

"So what are we going to do now Witchblade Hermione?" Bellatrix said as she wanted to fight Hermione.

"Oh I'm not gonna kill you Bellatrix. I'm just gonna hurt you, really-really bad." Hermione said as Harry saw this as he pointed his wand at Bellatrix ready to kill her.

Harry looked at Bellatrix as it seemed Hermione looked ready to do to Bellatrix worse than she had done upon others as a Death Eater. 'You have to mean it Harry.' A Voice inside Harry said as Harry tried to ignore it. 'She killed Sirius, let your mudblood whore do the deed.' Voldemort's voice said as Hermione got ready to hear the screams of Bellatrix. 'She deserves it.' Voldemort was heard as Hermione raised her right arm flexing her claws ready to begin torturing Bellatrix.

Soon from behind Harry Voldemort made his appearance edging Harry on as Hermione then grinned as Bellatrix began to laugh a bit only for Hermione to point her arm at Voldemort extending her blade torts him. "And finally the main dish arrives." Hermione said as her blade drew blood from Voldemort's neck surprising him.

"The Witchblade." Voldemort said as he had heard the tales of past Witchblade wielders. It sickened him to think such a powerful artifact would bind out self to a Mudblood. Harry swung his wand at Voldemort to use the curse on him only for Voldemort to use his magic to disarm Harry and point his wand at him. "To think… the most powerful magical weapon in the world… is bonded to a mud blood." Voldemort said as Hermione laughed at her pray.

"Oh well this mud blood just took out about 3/4's of your Death Eaters here made Lucius say my name and even made Bellatrix wet from fighting me." Hermione taunted as Voldemort saw this wasn't the witch talking it was the blade driving her to fight. "And guess what. I'm about to kill the snake king himself." Hermione said ready to fight.

Soon a floo activated and from it Dumbledore appeared as Voldemort looked between Dumbledore and Hermione. Dumbledore looked shocked as he saw Hermione covered in blood clearly not her and enjoying it as he saw the manner in which she was dressed and saw how the red gem of her gauntlet was glowing a dark crimson color.

Dumbledore glared at Voldemort getting back on subject as he knew what needed to be done. "It was foolish of you to come here tonight, Tom. The Aurors are on their way." Dumbledore said as he glared at Voldemort keeping to the task at hand.

"By which time I shall be gone, you shall be dead, and I shall have control of the most powerful weapon in the world the Witchblade." Voldemort taunted as Hermione smiled a sadistic smile.

"Wanna try?" Hermione asked crouching down once more grinding her claws across the ground creating sparks and then reaching to the side extending her Gauntlets blade.

Albus used his magic to push Harry to the side as Bellatrix made her escape making a note to find a power to equal Hermione with the Witchblade before the two Wizards fired there spells at each other. The conflicting powers caused the spells to rebound a bit hitting the walls as Harry took cover but Hermione wasn't scared she was excited. Hermione charged in breaking the deadlock and running straight at Voldemort. Voldemort responded by using the Fiendfyre Dark Spell which turned into a large snake.

The Snake charged at Hermione who kept going as Voldemort wanted to see the upper limits of the Witchblade's power upon its new host. Hermione smiled a sadistic smile as it was clear the Witchblade was in control in some aspects as with her left hand she reached out and fired a powerful beam at the Snake of flames destroying it and causing embers to rain down.

Hermione then was upon Voldemort as she began to slash at him up close and personal as Voldemort was forced to dodge and avoid the attacks. Hermione then spun to the ground and jumped up knocking Voldemort to the ground almost straddling him like she did with Bellatrix. Hermione then slashed at Voldemort's face with her claws drawing forth blood as he roared in pain hating the fact he was injured by a Mudblood.

"I wonder how your blood tastes." Hermione said in a sensual tone showing the art of battle was a turn on for her in her current state. Hermione then licked the blood from her claws and then gagged as it tasted bad. "You taste disgusting I suppose it's what I get for tasting a Snake." Hermione taunted as Voldemort glared and with his wand Blasted Hermione off of him to the ceiling where she felt down as the ceiling had an indent of her form on it.

"Oh what's wrong Little Voldemort am I to much for you?" Hermione taunted some more as she smirked. "Or perhaps your still worn out from your resurrection last year I can see your soul is mutilated to need that." Hermione said as the Witchblade showed her the state of Voldemort's Soul.

"What of it?! I can still KILL you where you stand! Don't you dare come here and mock me, you Mudblood whore!" Voldemort yelled as he was hack on his feet.

"Aww, are you threatening me?" She couldn't help it but to laugh. "No, really... are you?" She kept at it as she smiled at Voldemort. "If you can show me then." Hermione said licking her blade showing the red stud in her tongue.

"YOU BE SILENT!" Voldemort roared as he desired the power of the Witchblade at his side but the current host was much to be desired.

Dumbledore quickly acted and used his wand to move the water from the fountain torts Voldemort trapping him inside a dome of water. The battle continued as Voldemort was trapped in the water as Hermione quickly pushed Harry aside and went after Voldemort just as he was freed from the water dome. "Here's Hermione!" Hermione called out as she then sent an upward slash at Voldemort slicing upward and causing a gash to appear spearing more blood out and staining Hermione's face with it.

"How does it feel Voldemort my body is stained with the spilled blood of purebloods who followed you to death?" Hermione taunted as Voldemort then released another spell knocking Hermione back who used her claws to stop herself as her bladed heels and claws wrecked the ground and created sparks as she smiled at her pray. "Oh so you do have some fight in you!" She yelled shielding herself like Dumbledore as Voldemort prepared another attack. Soon he released the attack causing everything around them to explode.

Voldemort then summoned forth the Glass shards as Hermione then saw them coming and then when she saw Dumbledore she saw him creating a shield which when the glass shards passed through it created sand and dust. Voldemort's grins was short lived as from the sand cloud Hermione charged out and then ran Voldemort through as she smiled at him and knocked him down hard as he cried out in pain.

"How does it feel to be helpless Voldemort?" Hermione taunted as she used her tendrils to restrain Voldemort's arms and legs by skewering them causing him to roar in pain. "To be unable to fight back against a superior foe… and the irony that it's the very same that you claim as evil." Hermione said as she then licked her index claw as she smiled. "I just thought of the perfect way to humiliate you." Hermione taunted as Dumbledore got up to see what Hermione was doing. "I'll give you a scar to match Harry's." Hermione grinned as before Voldemort could fire curses to Hermione his mouth was releasing screams as Hermione began to carve onto Voldemort's forehead a parody of Harry's famous thunderbolt scar.

Harry honestly felt sorry for Voldemort to what Hermione was doing as Dumbledore saw the girl was going too far on him. Voldemort roared and struggled as Hermione kept carving until she was done and when she did blood dripped down Voldemort's head from the carving and claws as he glared at Hermione. "Now Voldemort every time you look in a mirror you'll be reminded of what I did to you and of the fact I in your words a filthy mudblood just beat you and sent you running." Hermione said as she grinned at Voldemort as he got up holding the new scar he was given and sent intense hatred at the Witchblade host. He was going to separate the two and give the Witchblade to a worthy pureblood or force it to submit to his will.

Voldemort then vanished in a tornado of dust as Hermione grinned insanely as the battle was done. The Witchblade seeing this began to retract as Hermione walked to Harry who looked shocked to see this. AS the Witchblade retracted Hermione's normal clothing and form began to return and she then fell into Harry's arms as he caught her. Hermione was out cold as the gauntlet was now a bracelet on her right wrist.

The blood still on her but not as much as it could easily be washed out but as Harry saw her he too began to pass out as with that everything was dark for the two. The Witchblade has awoken and it destiny was always the same.

To Kill

To Live

To Love

To Die

That was the Destiny of the Witchblade and all those who are host to it. But now the Artifact have joined the War and the resulting conflict will not go to fate but to whoever wants to attain victory more than their foes.
