(Start Chapter Le Fay lands)

As Voldemort's followers along with Peter and Bellatrix for extra help, search the strange woods as Voldemort had a plan of finding Mordred and getting him to side with him. But if things ended up in a fight, his followers being use as cannon folds, Peter… mostly to be used as a distraction or a meat shield for Bellatrix in a fight if things don't go as plan the dark lord had intended.

"Can't believe the dark lord have us doing this? Why not just burn this place down and find any remaining up," A random death eater said to another, as the same one was about to say more. But he soon found a blade pierce through the back of the death eater that was talking to him as Bellatrix part turn with her arm to form the Cloneblade weapon and use it on the nameless death eater. She then pulled out of him to watch him fall, as the one death eater who was talking was speechless as Bellatrix walk up to him and said, "Don't disrespect the dark lord wishes, he has desired this to be done without being heard by anyone."

He had spent much of his treasury to learn the last known location of Mordred prison is held at, at best he ever gotten was the location of his tomb, instead of the normal kidnapping and torture victims to get information out of people, he needed to keep this hidden since Voldemort, didn't want the mudblood Witchblade host or her uncle that holds the darkness to find out about this and hunt them down before they could find it.

Bellatrix held up the blade to the death eater who talk and said to him in an almost disturbing sweet way, "If you question this again… you will find yourself like him." As Bellatrix stomp her foot on the dead death eater with a few bones sound to break under to foot as well as the death eater nodded and move on with the others who are still searching around.

The Death Eaters heard from and reported about magical and mundane historians has told stories about the old forest of Europe where Mordred, the immortal prince was said to be taken to, place in a mausoleum where the dead rest and guards it, at least that how the legends were told to Voldemort taking it as hoax as necromancy is a dangerous and taboo magic the wizarding world will consider the darkest kind of magic forbidden to be told or shown anywhere no doubt.

Bury, hidden, and locked away in an eternal sleep as Merlin could cast upon him. Mordred could not be killed or destroy for the son of Morgana due to the power he was given by his mother, and forcefully from his father was an immortal being. A power granted to him before the battle that would lead to Author's death with many sacrificing themselves to do so.

Old scrips, and wives tale songs told of where Mordred was hidden in his prison, it was a matter of putting the pieces together in the right order of first coming to the an odd looking mausoleum building that looked pure white like time hasn't touched it with the only sign of age around it were the vines and trees that grew around it.

"Someone signal our lord… we have found it," Bellatrix said as Peter got on it as he lifted up his arm and pull his sleeve with his magic made arm to full up his sleeve to show the mark of Voldemort and press against it, as dark wind soon follow, as moment later a dark cloud came over head before coming down fast, as it landed, Voldemort appeared beside Bellatrix, Peter as they overlooked the scene before them as Bellatrix stood before her lord bow.

"This… is the place my lord, I can feel it," Bellatrix spoken, as she could feel her Cloneblade acting a bit for some reason as she held her wrist, with Voldemort nodded and said, "Yes… there is no doubt about it, this is the place, this is where Mordred lay rest."

"My lord are you sure he is even here and alive?" another Death eater asked put for Bellatrix to growl to him as she had to kill one person already.

"Do not question him if Mordred is alive we bring him with us if he is dead we take his remains." Bellatrix growled knowing her lord's wisdom was without end.

"Calm yourself Bellatrix, its find to question things… as if he is dead then I will take any secrets he has off his remains," Voldemort said as without saying anything else, he held out his wand and cast out a great wordless spell that soon killed everything around, the place, the trees turns to black and crumbles away, the vines dried up and turns to dust, as everything but the building itself has seem to remain untouched by Voldemort's spell as he smile to this knowing this is truly is the place that was told by many in the legends of Mordred.

"Come." Voldemort said as he felt much of his power has left him, as he knew these lands were cursed with a very dark magic that restricted their power. One wrong move would mean failure and Voldemort needing a new body again.

Soon enough as the group were walking down the halls of the mausoleum, as it shows it goes deep underground, as they reach the main area of it, many cobwebs surrounding the place with coffins surrounds the area but one place seem almost out of place to the center of it as it seem the center of the room is a walk way so people to go to other parts of the room other than taking the roundabout way, but their held a symbol like crest, that looked very familiar to Bellatrix Cloneblade bracelet.

"I believe this is where I'll take the lead, My lord," Bellatrix spoken to Voldemort as he nodded silently, as with that Bellatrix smile as she raise her arm and use her Cloneblade, transforming and extending out the blade of her weapon as she slash the center of the symbol crest, it broke apart with ease and collapse down showing a stairway down going even deeper than before.

As the group went down the spiraling stairs that remain intact for over a thousand years, as they soon came to a very dark tunnel using their wands to summon forth the light needed, until some magical active trap came forth and killed some of Voldemort followers, and so they went with the old faction torch to light their way.

They roamed about as Voldemort knew where his hide out was. Some say he hid from a changing world, others say he grew bored of it, but Voldemort knew what happened to him... the Witchblade somehow forced him into a deep dormancy and when he awoke to a new world he was not pleased. He found these modern day humans repulsive for they lacked the strength and power of his time. The world changed and he despised its change for begetting weaklings.

Soon enough as they came to an open room that seem empty but the walls tells otherwise, as Peter was sniveling scared while Voldemort took charge as a death eater saw carved writing on the walls. "My lord." The Death Eater called to his lord as Voldemort saw it.

"It's Arthurian the language of Morgana and Merlin." Voldemort said as he glared at it.

"If Mordred is here then where is he?" Bellatrix asked seeking out the fallen knight. But she got her answer when her Cloneblade Bracelet lit up as it sensed danger.

"The only place he could be… There," Voldemort the seal symbol on the ground as he knew with carving of seals are meant to be longer lasting of sealing away a dangerous being. He also knew if they broke the seal, they will free who they been looking for.

"Let not waste any more time then, Bella, do what you can," Voldemort said as the dark witch smile and use her Cloneblade to cut away the spot as Peter quickly move away before he could be cut up to bits.

Bellatrix stop soon enough as the seal was gone and all there was beneath it… was dark wet soil it seems, as it seem things were calm down and nothing is happening as Voldemort said to Peter, "Wormtail, dig down and find the tomb if it's there."

"Y-yes my lord," Peter said to the dark Lord before he gotten down on his hands and knees and started digging in the soil, as it seem very lose and easy moved by hand… but it seem the soil was wet from water, as stain on Peters hand as he look at them, they looked bloody red as his whole being shakes as he said, "M-my lord."

Before Wormtail could say anything the ground started to shake as the soil seem to be shifting on its own before it turn into a bloody swirling vortex as Peter was looking into it, he was breathing heavily until he saw something in the blood as he scream out as if he sees the devil.

Soon enough a hand reach up towards him and grab his face and dragging him down into the blood as Voldemort back away as he commanded his followers, "Get him out!"

Two of his followers did so as they ran towards Wormtail as he was being pulled in and try to pull him out, but it seem the more they did, the stronger the drag became until

*Rip!

They pulled Wormtail body out without his head as his blood squirted out from the stump where his head once stood as the followers drop the body and step away, as soon enough from the blood pool, an blood cover armed hand came forth follow by another and soon came forth rising from the ground cover in what seem could be the blood of his enemies, Mordred… in all of his glory.

"Who dares?" He asked in a low tone showing he was whipping off the blood from his face.

"Mordred Le Fay." Voldemort greeted only for Mordred to send a powerful attack at him before he could react.

"It's Mordred Pendragon to you." Mordred corrected while glaring at Voldemort.

"How dare you!" Bellatrix roared but Voldemort stopped her.

"No let him be for now." Voldemort said knowing they were stepping over egg shells here. "I understand you hold all the secrets of the Witchblade as well as the Angelus and Darkness." Voldemort said as Mordred glared at him.

"Yes... none I am willing to share. Leave now worm." Mordred warned them as Bellatrix was holding on to not attacking for now.

"Don't you dare insult him half-blood!" Bellatrix roared out glaring at the prince who murdered his own father centuries prior.

"I will do as I please wench." Mordred countered as Voldemort knew diplomacy was needed.

"Mordred your people need you now more than ever. The muggles the nom magical they have attained magic they stole from us and will overrun us." Voldemort said as Mordred scoffed to this.

"Why should I care? As far as I see you are all merely shadows of your former selves." Mordred said clearly not impressed with these modern Magic users. "I suggest you leave before you anger me more your worthless garden snake." Mordred said to which Bellatrix had enough.

"Damn you!" She roared attack until his armors left hand extended a blade and deflected a tendril from Bellatrix. She then found herself face to face with Mordred as he admired her looks.

"My you look much like my mother did in days of old." Mordred said before caressing her cheek as his mask retracted revealing his face. The face showed blond hair well-kept despite bathing in his enemy's blood with eyes of the deepest crimson red. "Such beauty..." He continued before grasping h her cheek roughly. "But you lack her elegance whore." Mordred said before he felt a blade stab into his stomach.

"Die." Bellatrix said before she kicked him away. "AVADA KADAVRA!" She roared out firing the killing curse at Mordred.

"No Bellatrix!" Voldemort tried but the killing curse his Mordred knocking him limp.

"So much for an immortal." Bellatrix scoffed only to hear coughing.

"Nice try." He said rising up again as his wound already healed. "But only Excalibur can destroy me." Mordred said as he retracted his armor to pants and the left arm alone.

"Mordred we need you aid the Witchblade roams once more and with it the Angelus and Darkness." Voldemort said while Bellatrix was ready for anything.

"And give me one good reason why this should concern me in anyway." Mordred scoffed as only one thing can truly attract him to this pointless war.

"Because the people remember you only as a villain or not at all." Voldemort said as Mordred listened. "They do not know of your strength and power as well as the conquest you had lead in your age." Voldemort said as he looked to Mordred. "I can provide you a new army and a new conquest of your liking." Voldemort said as Mordred glared for a bit.

"You need my help because the foe you seek to best is beyond your power to best." Mordred said as he glared at Voldemort. "Why else would you come seeking me you need the aid of my power to best someone else." Mordred said as Bellatrix was wary of him. "So tell me your foe what is his or her name?" Mordred asked as he looked to Voldemort wanting answers.

"Harry... Potter." Voldemort said to the immortal warrior hoping he got a bite.

"And those who protect him?" Mordred asked walking over to Voldemort.

"A mudblood Hermione Granger who hosts the Witchblade and the host to the Darkness." Voldemort said as Mordred heard this and smirked a bit.

"Potter... sounds familiar... was that not the family the daughter of Peverel married into?" Mordred said recounting past events in his musing. "Tell me is Harry a capable warrior?" Mordred asked as he knew the Potter family surely must have one of the Deathly Hollows.

"Yes from my time searching his memories... I know he had bested the Basilisk controlled by the Heir to Salazar Slytherin." Voldemort said to which the name rung bells in Mordred's head.

"That guard snake Salazar placed in that school in case of a crusade attack by the Muggle Catholics?" Mordred asked as this caught many of their attention.

"The one he placed to cleans, the school of mudbloods." Voldemort corrected as to this Mordred scoffed.

"Seems history though written by the victors was still mistaken." Mordred laughed as he walked about a bit. "Salazar wasn't a pureblood Supremes in fact he was simply weary of them afraid they may carry their parents bigoted belief's with them into Hogwarts and after leave with all of their secrets. The Basilisk was placed in the Chamber of Secrets to act as a defensive precaution with the Chamber itself being a sort of panic room." Mordred said explaining the truth. "I should know I met him but the other founders disagreed with him and tried to stop him believing it was meant to kill muggleborn. A common state of miscommunication I'm afraid." Mordred said recounting the past showing he clearly knew the founders at one point as Bellatrix held her tongue as did the Death Eaters.

"But I digress." He said before returning to subject. "So Potter bested the Basilisk as I'm to assume its immune to most magic and its skin was quiet difficult to pierce." Mordred said as he looked to Voldemort.

"He used the Sword of Gryffindor to do it. A sword he had no prior training with." Voldemort said as now Mordred was intrigued.

"Interesting." Mordred said as he began to smile a bit. A warrior that may be worthy of his time one with nobility and honor befitting of a knight if he has been a thorn at Voldemort's side. "First things first... I require a set of clothing and for you to tell me more about this... Harry Potter." Mordred requested as he saw he may have finally found a worthy opponent.

Voldemort was grinning inside as with the heir to Morgana at his side he will no doubt gain headway in this war. Mordred though cared little for the war as the Prince desired only one thing, a worthy opponent who like him has honor and lives by the sword. Ironic for Mordred was a relic of the past but now he's finally found a lead on a modern day version of himself. Voldemort may desire to kill Harry but If the Boy proves worthy then Mordred will deal with Voldemort himself... after all he knew about Horcruxes and he knew how to destroy them... after all Salazar didn't have a Basilisk without letting the Prince know its gifts.

(Scene Break Hogwarts)

Hermione was once more in the Library looking over the notes she gathered and historical text involving the Witchblade. Hermione was lucky Jackie had past experience but she knew so long as he was host to the Darkness he couldn't do much to help. Strange part was last she saw him he said he was taking a ride to London to visit someone. Not much to go on there but she figured it was his alone time seeing as he hasn't dated anyone since her Aunt Sarah.

Anyway she and Harry have been working together to deal with Voldemort by trying to go through his past as best they could. Dumbledore began revealing things about the Dark Lord that she wasn't aware about outside of word of mouth from Harry. With this she continued her studies as she was lucky to have Dumbledore acquire her books on some of the most famous woman in history. Anyway Hermione had also taken to reading the comic book Fred and George made of her and needless to say... she liked it. It didn't overly sexualize her as she thought it did and kept it within reasonable levels.

Apparently Hermione Granger and the Witchblade told about a young Witch after acquiring the Witchblade had been dragged into a much larger world then she knew. She became a sort of paranormal detective and private investigator looking through cases that could not be explained through normal means. The first Issue and arc seemed to move torts a possible Church Corruption Case but despite this Hermione was oddly enough exited to see where it would go next. She had of course written to Fred and George her demands which was the power to veto certain things in the comic, 50% of the cut, and finally all the new issues of it for free.

"Hey Hermione." Harry was heard as Hermione looked and saw Harry.

"Hey your boy toy." The Witchblade said free of his punishment at long last. Hermione of course ignored him seeing as he will be a pervert regardless of attempts at stopping it so she ended up missing that week of sweet silence from him.

"Yes Harry?" Hermione greeted as she looked to Harry.

"You seem a tad bit tired." Harry said noticing Hermione could use some rest.

"Oh I must be, sorry I've been studying for quiet sometime it seems I've let time slip me by." Hermione said to which Harry could not accept this.

"Hermione you need to rest." Harry urged her as he saw she was starting to form bags in her eyes.

"I can't now... I need to learn all that I can about the Witchblade's history and for my classes." Hermione said but Harry was against it.

"Hermione this is third year all over again only this time no Time Turner." Harry said trying to get her to relax a bit.

"He has a point Hermione. I may boost a lot of your natural strengths but I Cannot undue the need for rest or remove fatigue and drowsiness from lack of sleep." Witchblade said to which Hermione was shocked to be double teamed like this.

"Ron and I were planning on heading to Hogsmeat for the weekend after Quiddich tryouts this week and I Was hoping you'd like to come along as well." Harry offered to which Hermione was about to decline.

"But what about the Angelus she's here in Hogwarts and if she's not a teacher she must be a student." Hermione said to which Harry sighed a bit.

"I get it but we won't learn anything tired out like this." Harry said as the plan for now was to wait and listen. "Besides we can't just walk up to every student we see and try to get a rise out of Angelus we'd look mad doing it and even then there are too many candidates to interrogate making it so she can blend in easily." Harry said to which the Witchblade tweeted.

"He's not wrong." The Witchblade said knowing his mother must be biding her time and waiting to act.

"I... very well I suppose can take some time to rest." Hermione said before yawning a bit. "In fact I think I'll head to the common room and take a short nap." Hermione said while getting up and packing away her books.

"Ok sleep well Hermione." Harry said to which Hermione nodded. But as Hermione walked away a hidden figure in the library was listening in from behind some books pretending to read. She then scowled to this before smirking in response before closing the book and moving on for the time being.

(Later in the Halls)

As Hermione was walking through the schools hallways she saw it was mostly empty right now, no doubt those with a free period were spending it elsewhere or were in class. Hermione was fortunate to have a free period considering how well she does in most of her classes. But as she walked she passed by Luna who was reading a book calmly yet alone. As Hermione passed her Luna finally spoke surprising her. "The Witchblade." Luna said stopping Hermione in her tracks as she looked and noted how Luna was acting out of character with that tone.

"It bonds itself to a worthy host and grants the host incredible power." Luna said as she stood up and removed her glasses as her hair and eyes seemed straightened out and calm. "But it will not be alone... the blade scars your fate forever more. What you once desire comes second in the presence of the Balance." Luna said causing Hermione to get worried. "The Witchblade, the Darkness, the Angelus, and the Excalibur will soon meet with their fates to continue the blood soaked war that's been fought since the dawn of humankind." Luna said as Hermione then gulped a bit.

"Um Luna... are you ok?" Hermione asked concerned about Luna who then smiled returning to her normal self with a dream like stare.

"Yes... my apologies Hermione it's just you had a strange lack of Waterspurks on you." Luna said while smiling to her. "Well then I must be off I need to send out a parcel posthaste." Luna said before she began to skip away after putting away what Hermione saw were drawing utensils.

"Well... that was... weird. Is that why you all call her Looney Luna?" Witchblade asked to which Hermione was just confused at how out of character Luna had acted just now.

(Scene Break Dream)

Hermione after plopping down on the sofa in Gryffindor Tower was sleeping to get caught up on some rest she skipped for studying. But her dreams were not dreams as she looked around confused. She looked and to her shock saw a comet falling to the Earth. But as it fell she noted it never stopped falling as she noted it was falling through history judging by how the world changed around it to which she saw it was the Witchblade. She then saw a hand reach out and in turn the gauntlet transformed once more and covered a male's body in what seemed to be royal like armor.

"Excalibur." Hermione said realizing what it was as she saw this. But it wasn't done as she saw who she assumed was King Arthur fighting his way through soldiers, monsters, and even demons unaware of a female figure looking upon him, a figure in a mask, horns, and large angelic wings. "Angelus." Hermione gulped but the vision wasn't done just yet.

She then saw a blade run through Arthur as she looked and to her shock she saw a new figure as Arthur fell and died with the Excalibur reverting to the Witchblade. The vision didn't stop as Hermione saw who she assumed was Mordred cleave his way through history as his civilian form adjusted with the ages by changing his clothing and mannerisms. She saw him at every period after the fall of Camelot almost like he was leaving a bloody trail in history.

But the vision began to end as she soon saw Mordred facing Ariana who was injured and hurt but still fighting. Mordred roared out only for Ariana to use the tendrils of the Witchblade and with its blade ran Mordred through. It wasn't long after some struggle that he went limp and fell. Ariana and Hermione both saw his injuries were healing but slowly and quickly realized he did not die... he was dormant asleep as it were.

The vision ended with Ariana and the spirits of the Knights of the Round Table and Merlin sealing Mordred away in a tomb of sorts much like the one history depicted of him where he now rested to this day. The Mausoleum was soon discovered by what Hermione assumed was a Snake, Death Eaters, and a female version of Mordred's armor before the tome itself was unearthed. To her shock she saw a rat die and change into Peter Pettigrew before Mordred rose up again and roared in fury. And with this the Vision went black as Hermione felt a pull to the real world.

(Gryffindor Tower)

Hermione shot up with a start gasping for air and sweating a bit as she was shocked at what she saw. "Was this your prank again?" Hermione asked as the Witchblade had a response.

"Hey you got it from me but I'm not to blame these things happen at random and very rarely are they wrong." The Witchblade said before sighing a bit.

"So was that who I thought it was?" Hermione asked to which the Witchblade nodded in response.

"Mordred Pendragon the guy who killed King Arthur... yeap that was him." Witchblade said to which Hermione began to panic a bit.

"We need to tell Dumbledore and Jackie." Hermione said to which the Witchblade agreed.

"For once we're on the same page." The Witchblade said before they began to move.

(Later Dumbledore's office)

Hermione gotten her uncle Jackie before heading towards the headmaster office, thankfully he was up at the time as all of them were sitting around his desk as Hermione started off saying she was having visions of the past of sort as he went for a lemon drop to keep himself calm for the moment as he then asked, "What was it that you saw miss Granger?"

"It was about Mordred, the man who possible had a clone Excalibur form of the Witchblade, and maybe quite possible, Ariana may have face him before," Hermione said as Dumbledore is surprise by this as Jackie said, "Mordred… that the guy who wacked King Arthur, right?"

"Quite sure he is sense it was Arthur's own son that did it, but it quite impossible for Ariana to have fought him, if he were, then he would be quite over 1,400 years old, no witch or wizard could not live over 600 without the aid of something that's powerful in its self as something like the Philosopher's stone, and the only one who did was Nicholas Flamel himself," Dumbledore said as he didn't know what to say as Hermione had a thought.

"But… what if the clone Excalibur is the source of his immortality, the only reason it's been with him so long because the object in question is soulless but still hold power," Hermione said as the Witchblade added in, "And major whack job done to his head without something keeping the power from keeping him going insane."

Dumbledore thought for a moment as he said, "Quite possible… if he still alive that is."

"If he is alive still… what do you know of him Professor?" Hermione asked as Dumbledore was at a pause of himself as he said, "I don't know other than what been told in stories and legends about him, Mordred was the son of Morgana Le Fay and Arthur Pendragon who was bred, born, and forged in bloodshed and war. A madman, driven by lust of power and blood, as a hundreds of men gave their lives to seal him away, to make sure his power would not rise again as to say that time will eventually will kill him, other than that, I now know any more than that itself."

"Is there anything that could tell us more about him? Wherever he is… I fear he may be among the living still," Hermione said as Jackie had a thought as he spoke up saying, "I think I may know a guy that know a thing or two."

"And this man could help how exactly uncle?" Hermione asked as he look toward his nieces and said, "This was the same guy who told me more about Darkness, Angelus, and Witchblade, so he may know about this Excalibur and maybe this Mordred."

"Interesting, and this man… is he muggle?" Dumbledore asked as Jackie points to himself as he said, "Look who you talking to, before I learn of you magical wizards and witches, I was a mob boss, the guy name is Johnny Powel, and as far as I know he was completely normal… in a sense," Jackie said as he knew he was human but… not right in the head to say as Dumbledore asked him as he really want to meet this man as he said, "Is there any way we can meet or get into contact with him?"

"We can, but it's just… Johnny may still be a bit unnerved about him, so if we do…I advise to be careful around him," Jackie said as Dumbledore nodded as he said, "Understandable, we stall meet him soon as we can, maybe tomorrow if we can, but for now let's all head back to bed and get some rest, with you Mr. Estacado, I believe your shift will end within a few hours."

"Got it," Jackie said as soon enough as they all stood up, with Dumbledore taking a bit of time to get up from his chair as it seem he was a bit weak to lift up his knees as Hermione took notice of this, and Dumbledore hand… was looking like it was decaying.

Before she could say anything, the sound of an owl was heard as all three, Jackie, Hermione, and Dumbledore saw, and owl was rushing in like hell was following it and landed on the desk as Dumbledore said, "Quite strange, mail at this hour?"

He reach over to the owl and pull the letter out of its beak and break the wax seal on it as he open it up and read it to himself, as he was surprise to what he is reading. Once Dumbledore finished reading it he looked shocked and concerned as he passed it over to Hermione who began to read aloud. "We apologize in advance Professor Dumbledore but the DMLE humbly request one Hermione Jean Granger's aid in a situation of ours. We ask that she comes armed as we will explain the situation in person. -Signed Amelia Bones Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement." Hermione read which surprised her and Jackie to no end.

"You have fucking got to be shitting me." Jackie said as he heard this.

"Did... I do something wrong?" Hermione asked to which Jackie sighed.

"No they need your help with a problem the Witchblade can handle." Jackie said to which the Witchblade heard this.

"Oh boy trouble is afoot." The Witchblade said ready to rumble already.

"So that's why it asked for me to be armed." Hermione said to which Jackie sighed in response. "Does the floo still work?" Hermione asked to which Dumbledore nodded.

"Ok well then Al I'm going to need a port to my place I have some guns to pick up for Hermione." Jackie said surprising Hermione of this.

"Wait guns?" Hermione asked in shock as the last time she held a gun was when she was testing what abilities the Witchblade granted her and any weapon she uses.

"Trust me better to be prepared babe." The Witchblade cut in to which Hermione had a bad feeling about this.

(Scene Break Village)

After a brief floo to the DMLE Hermione was then directed to be Apparated here where she saw a group of Aurors, Hit Wizards, and representatives of the Department of Magical Creatures. It seemed huge to her but then Tonks ran in as she luckily kept her balance up. "Hermione glad you made it." Tonks said as Hermione was standing next to Jackie as the two looked to each other.

"Yes but why was I called here?" Hermione asked to which it was Moody who spoke.

"As much as it kills me to say it girl this is a huge problem some Wizards and some demon creature are in this village and have all but overrun it." Moody said as he hobbled around on his walking stick.

"Ok but why call her here?" Jackie asked as right now he'd rather keep the Darkness locked up unless he absolutely has to bust it out.

"This 'demon,' they summoned has a history with the Witchblade took out its summoners and turned them into mindless slaves it did." Tonks explained to which Hermione was wide eyed and glared at the bracelet in turn.

"Hey don't look at me like that I've made so many enemies in my eternal life that I can't keep track of every asshole that my hosts and I have faced." The Witchblade defended but he wasn't done. "Even more so with the ones who hold a grudge against me and/or my host." He added to which Hermione rolled her eyes in turn.

"So you want me to go in there and deal with it myself?" Hermione asked as Jackie had his objections but the Witchblade spoke up.

"Come on babe it'll be fun plus you and me make the best combo your brains and body but my power and brawns... and a shit tone of other powers we can take this asshole on no problem." The Witchblade boasted to which Hermione was happy to see his ego wasn't affected by her nervousness and fear of going in there.

"If it helps, it could help make you look better in the eyes of the others in the ministry, maybe let off some heat on ya" Tonks said as he does make a point, as not everyone accepts as she is a mudblood, but maybe even more so with the Witchblade with her as Hermione thought about it and said, "Fine… I'll do it, I'll take their case."

"You sure about this, demon business isn't pretty," Jackie said as he try to convenes his niece to back away as Hermione responded to that as she said, "Nether are trolls, Cerberus, Dementors, giant snakes, and what Ron and Harry told me one time, giant spiders, but it seem we still deal with them."

"Ha that a girl!," Witchblade said as he said to Jackie, even if he can't hear him, he still want to add in his two cent to things as Jackie sighed to this as he said, "Alright… but I won't leave you hanging out to dry."

"What do you mean?" Hermione said as Jackie look to her and said, "Well I'm going to give you your long overdue birthday gifts, after we get there."

(Time skip)

As the group soon arrive near the entry of the village where it was safe enough where aurors and other combat wizard stood ready for anything and securing the area as well, as they eye Hermione, knowing what she possess, some were tempting to point their wands at her, but keep it to themselves as they didn't want to cause a massacre.

"Hey… where that uncle of yours?" Tonks asked as she knew Jackie was by them and thought he would hold onto Hermione as they teleported away, with Jackie came in a few minutes after Hermione and Tonks arrived as the aurors were surprise by this, but then again he did take magical core of dark wizards, as he said, "Sorry, I had to get a few things from the school."

"What sort of things did you have to grab?" Hermione asked as Jackie smile as he went to the closes wooden create that acted as a table, as he set the huge case down and open it as Hermione look inside as she is surprise what she saw, with Tonks and the few people around a bit surprise by the site she saw, but Jackie was asked to protect the school, and he going to do it his way as Jackie pulled out a 18 inch double barrel side by side shotgun, without a stock as Jackie said, "Winchester model 24, '12' gauge, my best friend when things goes a little worse than expected, this will be your best friend when you need it."

Hermione is surprise Jackie is giving guns to her but hey other users of the Witchblade had guns and they were given enhancement to them to make them stronger so, it could work out if she can use them right.

Next up as Jackie put down the shotgun and pulled out a glock 19 pistol as he cocks it back fast as he aim down the sites as he said, "An old favorite and holding a piece of legacy, the glock 19, 9mm, this one… belonged to Sara."

Jackie held it out to Hermione as she was surprise by that as she took it and felt the weight of it and also felt a residue of some Witchblade energy in it as she can tell, this gun did belong to Sara at one point or another, as Hermione held it up and look down the sites as she suddenly felt like she gotten a good handle on it with her site clear.

"When you need to take out a lot of small fries, this will do the trick," Jackie said as he soon pull out one more thing as he thought may come in handy as he show it off, "And if you need something for the big ones, you dirty harry right?"

"Heard of it, but never seen them," Hermione said as her parents never really let her watch gun blazing movies as Jackie said, "Alright then, well with dirty harry he had his 44 magnum, here its big brother."

As Jackie pull out a handcannon revolver as he said, ".50AE, this will blow anyone or anything's head off, one shot and its dead." (Resident evil 4 handcannon).

Hermione is impressed by that as she only thought the 44 magnum was the most powerful handgun in the world, but it seem there always other that would top it, as Jackie held up the hand cannon up as he said, "One hell of a kick but it's worth it."

He place the handcannon down as he also pick up an outfit next as he said, "I and I also brought some other clothing and gear to have your gear put away in, to help you out since I know robes aren't going to help you in this situation, transforming right away or not, it better to be safe than sorry."

"That true I suppose," Hermione said as if she gets attack and not while transform, she could end up losing must of her clothing, and if she needed some extra firepower, her robes would be in the way anyways, as Jackie put them down before Hermione as he said, "hope these are to your liking."

"They… will work I suppose," Hermione said as she looked at the outfit as it seem more tactical, as she put down the gun as Jackie asked her, "Need help suiting up?"

"I can do that myself, thank you," Hermione said as she took the clothes and went to a more private area with Tonks following her as she took the case as she close it and said, "I'll help her with this, just don't… do anything."

(Moment later)

Hermione came out from the area she change at as she wearing a more tough girl look with a couple of holsters at her side, and a Shotgun Scabbard on her back sling around as she said, "Do I look alright?"

"Your ass looks big in the back, and that a good quality, booming!" Witchblade said in her mind as she groaned to this.

"Watcher." Tonks was heard as she walked in. "Ya better move fast these bastards aren't the type to let things go considering big and ugly inside wants you bad enough to kill." Tonks said to which Hermione gulped a bit.

"Come on let's find this ugly motherfucker." The Witchblade said to which Hermione calmed herself. She had power but she didn't know the limits of said power. "Hey my power is unlimited ok I have yet to meet a fucker who can out class me... you on the other hand... I've met plenty." The Witchblade said no doubt joking but that did not help Hermione's situation. "Hey just think by morning they will be singing words of praise." The Witchblade said to which Hermione had to agree for now.

"Ok I'm ready." Hermione said nervous as the Witchblade smirked.

"Ok but heads up once you go in you need to go all the way through we can't risk sending in anymore Aurors or Hitwizards till it's over." Tonks said before gulping a bit.

"I'm guessing if I don't succeed then you may have to use more... darker Department of Mysteries methods to deal with it." Hermione assumed to which Tonks nodded to this.

"Damn... back in the day Witches and Wizards weren't such pansy ass pussies. Jeez what has happened since WWII?" The Witchblade asked looking to Hermione on how far Wizards and Witches had fallen since the good old days. "Man why did JK Rowling not make you all a bit more badass magic wielders, no wonder Fanfiction Writers love to make OP Harry Potter fanfics." The Witchblade said to which Hermione was now confused.

"What?" Hermione asked to her artifact while Tonks was confused.

"Never mind let's just go in there and fuck up some demons." The Witchblade said to which Hermione sighed and entered.

'I'm going to need a long shower after this.' Hermione thought to herself as she still can't stand the blood on her person. But unaware to her she was about to learn of a few things her past hosts had done in the past.

(Inside (Witchblade: Phase 4: The Meat Factory))

"Bloody Hell." Hermione cursed covering her nose as the putrid scent hit her senses at once.

"Meh I've seen worse." The Witchblade said while they entered before smirking. "But damn bastards work fast looks like they got this shit hole just the way they like it." The Witchblade noticing how the corpse and molded over walls gave some major Horror movie vibes. "Hey Mione hope you don't mind Horror movies because I think you just entered one." The Witchblade said to which Hermione sighed in annoyance.

"Do you even have an off switch?" Hermione asked but the Witchblade had a counter.

"Yeah in the rectum, or is that the on switch?" The Witchblade asked to which Hermione cursed herself on that one. "Also remember if you see a doll with a morbid eye and saying 'mama,' kill it or if you see some Chucky looking motherfucker catch it... I wanna see how the Death Eaters will react to Chucky." The Witchblade said no doubt his sadistic side coming to fore.

"Aren't you supposed to be a pervert?" Hermione asked while walking down the hall as it was a good distraction from her location that had creaking chains and vermin running around a blood stained hall.

"Sorry I'm just excited not every day I Get to fuck up a demon considering who my host is." The Witchblade said to which he then remembered something. "By the way if this is someone from a previous Host I can ring her up to give you some help." The Witchblade said to which Hermione was surprised.

"Wait what?!" She asked wondering if other hosts were alive.

"She's dead I mean I can call her from inside myself I have a piece of her soul I acquired not enough to make her tied to the earth but just enough that it can provide knowledge to you." The Witchblade said surprising Hermione to no end. "Just need to find this fucker and it will be one bloody ass family fucking reunion!" The Witchblade said as he knew his hosts and which would be best for what situation to help the current one.

"Understood." Hermione said before she felt it as the gem flashed.

"Heads up we got company." The Witchblade said as the bracelet began to spread up her arm up the shoulder. Once it did so the creature coming up behind her attack only to be met with claws at its face causing it to roar in pain. Hermione saw some kind of Ghoul like monster but she hadn't time to ponder or inspect it before she proceeded to slice off its head killing it. "Sorry motherfucker but your already dead!" The Witchblade joked to which Hermione sighed.

"Why did I watch Hokuto no Ken just so you can screw up that line." Hermione asked as she kept the Witchblade active for now.

"Fuck you I'm an ancient artifact." The Witchblade countered to which Hermione ignored that last comment.

"Still that monster... was it after me or you?" Hermione pondered as she looked at the corpse in question.

"Yes." The Witchblade responded as Hermione honestly wanted to slap herself for giving him a chance to use that joke.

The two began to explore a bit noting this place wasn't that big but from Hermione's perspective it was a place that just screamed horror movie. "Jeez why do I have an odd sense of dejavu? This place looks like something out of Texas Chainsaw Massacre." The Witchblade said surprising Hermione as chains hung from the ceiling jingling with movement.

"Were you involved in an event like that?" Hermione asked looking to the bracelet.

"Yes in fact the scenario I was in with a prior host was what inspired the movie." The Witchblade said as Hermione was horrified to hear this. "Hey just be glad you haven't met old Vlad yet I mean I nearly lost a host when he tried to impale her on a pike." The Artifact confessed as Hermione wanted him to shut up.

"Do you by chance have an off switch?" Hermione asked hoping for an answer.

"Yeah it's next to the rectum... or is that the ON switch?" HE asked as soon something happened. Hermione heard the sound of chainsaws and turned to a darkened hall.

Hermione was then wide eyed as she saw a large grotesque creature in said hall with chainsaw hands grinding on the walls as the sparks light the darkened hall showing parts of its image. "Witchblade." The monster growled as Hermione was about to fight it until the lights went off. When they came back on the monster was gone as the door behind it had opened not long after.

"Oh shit." The Witchblade cursed as Hermione in turn glared at the artifact.

"Friend of yours I presume?" She asked as the Witchblade laughed nervously as the result.

"Well funny story see a previous hose of mine had went against him and we may or may not have pissed him off." the Witchblade said as Hermione calmed her breath to keep in control.

"And how pray tell did you piss him off?" Hermione asked as the Witchblade then began to explain.

"Ok he was causing major shit to a summer camp in Texas because some dumbass kids summoned him from Hell. We took him on and I may or may not have gone overboard and tore off both his arms and sliced off his face causing him to get new hands and wear a mask to cover what used to be his face." The Witchblade said as Hermione began to count down from 10 due to the fact she had to clean up a mess her tenant didn't even bother to finish off.

"When this is over you will give me a list of every supernatural being you had gotten crossed with you." Hermione said as she began to traverse deeper into what her tenant had called the 'Meat Factory.'

"Noted." He responded knowing this was going to be one of those nights for him and not in the fun I get sex in the end way either.

Hermione keeping her guard up, watching out for that chainsaw arm demon, with the glock 19 empowered by the Witchblade as she held it out for anything, while she enter in another room, with dead bodies all around with the ghoul like demons feeding off of them, as they stop and looked at her as she said, "Bloody hell."

The ghouls soon came at her, with more appearing around as they came from around corners, out from a pile of bodies, and a few from the vents as Hermione try to run, there was a sudden buzzing alarm sound, the doors behind her shut, and locking in place as she curse, "Of all the bloody times!

Hearing the ghouls behind her, Hermione quickly took aim and fire upon them, taking them out fast before they were upon her while moving to get caught in one spot, with a few already close, Hermione summon for the blade and cut them in half and shot another one in tie ahead as it leap up at her.

"Man these guys are like fucken cockroaches, you kill one and there more of those shits comes out," Witchblade said with Hermione said while killed a few more, "Not now!"

Soon enough as the meat factory machine turn on, some hooks came forth, waiting for its supply of meats as the, as the doors were lock and won't open unless the Procedure, with one demon got shot from the ceiling and landed on a hook, a red light above it turns green, as the Witchblade said, "Hey Mione, see those hooks? Why not stick a few of those bastards on them so we can get into the next room?"

"Not a bad thought, I guess," Hermione said as she came up to one, shooting it in the legs before taking her arm that held the Witchblade and throw it up on a hook, as a light above it turn green.

Hermione keep up with it as she shoot some that came too close and stab one through its center make it join its demonic hanging brothers as the 3rd light turns green, there was another buzzing sound with the door going into the next room open as Hermione took a quick exit and gotten out of there to a more open area, unfortunately she just open the door to see some bigger demons as they turn to her as she said, "You got to me shitting me?"

"If you are into that stuff then maybe, if not then no," The Witchblade said as Hermione just gag to that thought as the creature roar out and came at her as Hermione quickly ran as she fire more shots from the glock 19 only to see having little effect on them.

"Hey, pull out the big gun, and show them how big it is," The Witchblade said as he giggle to that as Hermione roll her eyes to this as much she didn't want to listen to the Witchblade after that, but she knew she needed something bigger to put down the bigger demons coming her way.

Pulling out the hand cannon with her other hand, and took aim as the Witchblade empowered it like he did with the glock, it change from silverfish to a purple violet color with a nice custom look while Hermione open fire taking down a few.

Hearing more of the ghoul demons she turn and pointed the glock downwards and pull the trigger, killing more of those creatures.

Killing a good chunk of them as they stop coming, Hermione took a breath as she said to herself, "I wonder… if this is how my uncle Jackie feels in a gun fight?"

"Hot, bother, the smell of a smoking gun is a turn on? At least for me in the hands of a host who are smoking themselves," the Witchblade as she said, "What is up with you today?"

"I'm feeling a bit restless here, I'm giving you powerful guns that could take down an elephant with ease but you're not full transforming, I get my turn on from watching you slaughter enemies while using me," The Witchblade said as he told how he felt with Hermione sighed and said, "I need to soak you in cold shower or something."

"Been there, done that, doesn't work when the girl is naked," The Witchblade said as Hermione just moves on as she moves on to the next part.

(Time skip)

Hermione been going around the meat factory clearing out demons and other supernatural creatures, but she has yet to run into that chainsaw arm demon, as she had her gun holster and walk up to an elevator, being on the top floor as she was, she just want to get back to the bottom as she walks in and smash the buttons as the Witchblade said, "Yea, hit all the floor that would be fun."

Hermione had a tiring night, being soak in demon blood and some normal animal blood as she found a room of just raw meat, she just want to get back and clean the smell off of her.

AS the doors close for the elevator she lean back against the wall and enjoy the ride down, as the elevator beep with every floor, suddenly the elevator stop with a hard, shake as Hermione caught herself as she said, "What just happen?"

Suddenly the light in the elevator went haywire crazy as suddenly the elevator started moving again fast with the numbers on it, going up and down until tis came up to the number '13' with the sound of a chainsaw going on as Hermione said, "Is that who I think it is?"

Suddenly two chainsaw stab through the doors of the elevator as Hermione quickly pull out the double barrel shotgun and ready herself as the doors open were torn apart and throw off the frame, standing before her was a big, fat, ugly looking demon with turn up skin, and with a stack over his head with one eye is seen with the Witchblade said, "Oh hey there, You don't hold a grudge still after what happen in Texas, do you?"

The demon roar out as its chainsaw reave up as it grinds them together creating sparks as Hermione points the shotgun at the demon with the Witchblade said to this, "Oh yea-yea-yea, he still mad… yea we're screwed and not in the good way."

Hermione then fired off the shotgun and proceeded to shoot the demon in a continued cycle of shoot, reload; advance. Clearly the Witchblade was feeding Hermione the information on the weapon and even giving her a bit bloodlust as she fired off the weapon on a continues basis. Soon she managed to get a good shot in knocking the inspiration for Texas Chainsaw Massacre down hard.

Once this was done Hermione began to make her approach and in turn the lights went out before turning back on. When the lights came back on old leather face was gone as Hermione was surprised by this.

Soon she gasped when she saw the chainsaw blade come up behind her and began to cut down the bridge. Before she could move or use her magic the bridge came down with Hermione landing in a large room.

She then looked and saw the demonic foe standing there. "Oh shit." Hermione cursed realizing she was in trouble especially when it pointed at her and then slid a saw across its neck.

"Come on let's show this doughrag why you have the Witchblade." Witchblade said as Hermione nodded while her hair began to turn blood red, tribal marking appeared on her face, and her eyes turned topaz yellow with black at the sclera of her eyes turned black. Soon her clothing shredded as Hermione entered the Witchblade form as the Witchblade cheered. "YEAH!" the Witchblade cheered as Hermione got ready to attack gaining a sadist grin on her face.

Hermione then crouched down similar to a cat or a lion ready to pounce digging her feet and claws into the ground as already she can see where to cause the most damage on this monster. She then licked her lips in sadistic pleasure and excitement before charging into the fight against the demon.

The two clashed as Hermione extended her blade and met the monsters twin chainsaw hands. Sparks flew from the grinding of metals as Hermione was near giddy over this. She then launched forth her tendrils from her hair that hit the demon from behind.

The demon roared in pain before Hermione began attacking it with ease slashing at it causing blood to fly out from the attack. The demon was slow due to its thick hide which made it have a tough defense. Luckily Hermione knew this but honestly didn't care. The bloodlust fueled bearer only found that it made things more exciting that way. "Oh I missed this." The Witchblade commented before Hermione roared out and charged again.

"Come on big boy." Hermione began before running around it and slashing at its side. "Make mommy Mione hot." Hermione taunted with a sluttery tone.

The demon roared and proceeded to begin its attack only for Hermione to dodge and avoid the oncoming attacks as bests he could. She laughed at her foe before using her tendrils like blades whips causing the demon to bleed even more from each lash.

She then grabbed the monster by its head and proceeded to grab him in a choke hold. The Demon struggled to get free as the Witchblade cheered all the way.

Hermione was about to break its neck, the lights went out before turning back on a second later with leather face gone, as the empowered witch looked around for her pray, the sound of chainsaws came forth behind her as she dodge it by leaping and rolling forward, as the chainsaw carve the ground Hermione once stood.

"Fuck him up," The Witchblade said as Hermione lick her lips as his extents the blade, she said, "I plan to."

She charged at the demon again as the blade meet the chainsaws it was an odd way of fighting like a hybrid chainsaw sword fight, with a dance between them, with the lights flashes off and on as the chainsaw hands demon did fast and wide movement, Hermione leaps, duck by doing the splits, and bend backwards while flipping before the light stopped flicker off.

Hermione watch the chainsaw demons movement as he was going for a heavy attack as he raise one of his chainsaw hands high before slamming down fast while Hermione leap over him.

With the chainsaw demon arm was caught in the ground as he rev the chainsaw while pulling it out, but could not do it in time as Hermione came down over him, kicking him in the faces with the high heel shoes of her feet, courteous of the Witchblade of wanting the kick to hurt more, made the demon fall back with the chainsaw coming out as well, but didn't move for a while after that with Hermione taken advantage of it.

Reaching for one of its chainsaw hands as she pull hard to tear it off, as leather-face roar in pain as Hermione soon slam her food down at the demon's arm, breaking it and tearing its arm a bit before ripping the chainsaw off of him.

Hermione just smile at this as she turn toward the demon and raise the fleshy chainsaw and brought it down upon the demon as it block it with its other chainsaw as the two grind against each other for a bit before Hermione push off herself off for a bit and went back down before the lights went out again and turn on a second later with the demon gone, but Hermione still had his chainsaw arm.

Hermione looked around again for the demon before looking down at the chainsaw with the Witchblade giving it a power boost as the saw part of the chainsaw went faster and turn a bright red, like it was burning hot, as she called out, "Come out, come out wherever you are."

And by that as a light shine down on the chainsaw demon as it rush her with his last chainsaw arm as he swing it across at her, as she parry it with the other chainsaw then counter as the red chainsaw blade ran across the demon chest causing blood to come out while sizzling its flesh, as the Hermione went crazy as she keep attack it.

Slashing, gashing, blood rain down with every cut Hermione made with the chainsaw on the demon as old leather face tries it best to push her back but failed, as it vanish quickly as the lights goes out and comes back on a moment later as Hermione turn quickly to block the attack of the demon with its chainsaw and cut it before it vanish again.

The lights goes off and on with Hermione dodging, parrying, countering with the chainsaw until the demon grew weak as its try to quickly cut Hermione down as it thrust its arm down at her, while she dodge it with ease, she spin around and shove the chain saw into the belly of the beast as it cry out with its blood pouring out.

She quickly pulled out and knock the demon down on its back, before putting a food on its chest and said, "I had a fun night."

"Yea, as I can really say this was a pretty awesome "blood raid"," the Witchblade said as replacing the rave in "blood rave" with Raid as they did raid the meat factory, "But I am afraid this is goodnight."

Hermione brought the chainsaw down upon the demon, cutting off its other chain saw arm as it cry out with Hermione give a laugh before going to town on the demon, tearing it apart and hopefully killing it so it cannot come back from it came from again, with its crying out in great pain, as the Witchblade said, "And you said this was going to be a long bloody night. Well you were right about the bloody part."

Hermione lifted up on the chain as she said before plugging back down, "I didn't mean it like that, but that is true."

The chainsaw roar out, with the former chainsaw arms demon still crying out in pain before it sounding it was choking on its own blood. Despite the fact it was trying to kill her Hermione looked more like the deranged horror movie psycho killer then the monster she fought did.

(Time skip)

Hermione walk away as she chain back into her normal self while cover in more blood than she wanted to be cover in, while dropping the chainsaw behind her as she walk to the door that had exit on it, as she walk outside, she took a deep breath as she said, "Fresh air, how I missed you."

"I say this is a successful mission, let's do it again sometimes, I knew another demon that worn a hockey mask killing a bunch of teens at a lake, fun part of it was they made a movie out of it to in a way, that guy never dies until he meet me," The Witchblade said as Hermione said to him, "Just shut up for about 5 minutes, is that so hard to ask?"

"Oh sorry about that, once I start running my mouth it's hard to stop, but then again never saw a stop sign telling me to do so," the Witchblade said as Hermione groaned, unaware something was watching her, as a raven or a crow watch from a broken window of the meat factory as it eyed her leaving with its beady little eyes as they glow slightly.

"Nice job curly top." Jackie said as he and the Aurors went in to clear out the damage this cult like summoning had caused.

"Thank you Uncle Jackie." Hermione smiled as she was then taken to be looked over. The Raven saw the entire exchange as it was clear Hermione had more strength at her disposal.

(Scene Break Malfoy Manor Mordred)

Seeing as Lucius Malfoy was dead thanks to Hermione's actions leaving his wife widowed Mordred was able to hide in Malfoy Manor for the time being. Of course he was told to take the dark mark but Mordred refused simply because he refused to be subservient to Voldemort and knew he'd use that mark every chance he got. Mordred already gave the Death Eaters a reason to fear him and despite being asked to stay hidden he grew bored quiet easily. Thus he opted to see how the world had chanced around him. He of course sent his new familiar out to observe things and as quickly as he did he grew intrigued with Hermione.

Her skills were progressing splendidly from what he saw. So he was more than willing to give her the benefit of the doubt considering the trouble Ariana Dumbledore had gone through to lock him up. Foolish girl that one was kind but foolish trying to follow her brother's example on taking lives and why you should not. Though Mordred had to give her credit where it's due but also reasoning seeing as it had to be the Excalibur that does him in. His mother bound his immortality to his father/uncle Arthur's Excalibur thus it would only be by the blade of Excalibur that Mordred would know true death.

He then smiled in response as he got to work on his next little exploration into the modern world. "Let the games begin." Mordred said walking out of the room with a mundane suit in hand ready to explore the outside world.

(With the Angelus)

The Angelus was going through her new hosts memories to familiarize herself with this world. She knew times were changing and her chance to get what she needs is dwindling. She wanted the power that could destroy the darkness and she came close with the Codex.

She just need to wait till Excalibur is back in play and her 16 year gamble would pay off.
