A/N: I know it has been done before, but never with my handsome muse. So here's a Slayer Hermione in an AU with no Buffy characters in it but the Council of Watchers, a doctor from the East chosen to be her Watcher. I borrowed the character of Takeshi Kaneshiro's Dr. Yan Zekun (using HP timeline of course) from The Crossing. I write for myself but I do appreciate the encouraging reviews. I am again, not re-writing Harry Potter (except am not a Ron/ Hermione fan of course). This is written in an alphabetical drabble form.

"Into every generation, there is a chosen one. One girl in all the world. She alone will wield the strength and skill to stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness; To stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their numbers. She is the Slayer." Remus Lupin told his Defense Against the Dark Arts class after he presented enlarged pictures from the battles of previous slayers.

"One girl in the world to fight the forces of evil and maintain the balance between the supernatural and the natural world," He added. Hermione raised her hand. "Why won't the world send a slayer in the wizardry world? We really need one with all the darkness closing in!" Hermione said angrily. The third year student had been on edge for some days now, given the fact that she has an overloaded course work, the stress of the Dementors and the idea that a madman has escaped Azkaban to kill her best friend.

"There are rarely any slayers who are witches. The last one had been more than 1500 years ago." Remus explained. "Then I wish a slayer would come to the wizardry world. We really need that strength you were talking about professor." Hermione replied as she sat down. She didn't know how soon that wish could come true.

Anger

1993

To be honest, there had been other clues as to what Hermione had become but this had been the most apparent. She was so angry, but had been unable to vent her anger at the upperclassmen who teased her for her blood status that she slammed her hands in anger at her desk the moment she walked in the classroom, only for said desk to break into pieces. Professor Flitwick walked into the class and saw his students eyeing Hermione with a mixture of awe and horror, a broken desk laid at her feet.

She was apologetic. He just shrugged at his student. "We've all had bad days." He said comfortingly as he quickly cast the reparo charm and returned the desk to its previous condition.

Another quite obvious clue had been the effortless way she caught a Fanged Frisbee gone wild at the Weasley twin's experimentation and was flying uncontrolled in the common room. Oliver Wood had been so amazed that he asked her to try out for the Quidditch team. Hermione turned him down seeing that she's not very good at flying a broom. Wood volunteered to tutor her only to be turned down given her heavy course work.

But he stopped harassing her when the Weasley twins teased him that the next thing he'll be doing is asking Hermione's hands in marriage just to get those reflexes in his bloodline.

It was these things that would send Parvati to write a letter to her father. She and her sister came from a long line of Watchers and had of course known the signs of one. She also knew that the Council had been unable to find the Slayer since the last one died some days ago, she figured that it could be the Hogwarts' anti-location spells that hindered the Watcher's Council's location spells.

Broken

1993

They promised to love each other till the end but her family decided to arrange her marriage to a proper Japanese wizard. As the blood purity argument runs rampant in Europe, racially motivated division existed in Asia due to previous wars. Wizards and witches are longer lived than their Muggle counterparts and therefore remembers the atrocities of occupations and wars more vividly as they lived through it.

Yan Zekun is a Watcher called from a watcher wizarding Taiwanese family. He was only fifteen when his potential was born. Potentials are girls who may possibly be the next Slayer. Unfortunately, unlike many Watchers, either the Council lost track of his potential or she, like some other potentials died in her childhood.

He grew up with an understanding that a Watcher's place is by his Potential or Slayer's side, to guide her, to teach her and to be there for her. Thus, he felt empty and purposeless for most of his life.

He filled this gap with his life with a life of study in the field of medicine and dedicated his devotion to the girl whom he had a crush on who later became the woman of his life. But now he'd even lost her as she decided that her duty to her family goes before her own "selfish desires".

She got married some months ago and he just threw himself to work, trying to forget his first love. His excited younger brother would soon rush in inside his clinic to inform him that his potential had been called as a Slayer.

Chosen

1993

If Albus Dumbledore has one fault, it would be his unscrupulous tactics in his efforts to tip the war to the favor of the side of Light for the "better good". Naturally, he informed the usually neutral Watcher's Council of how their newly called Slayer is one of the closest friend of the boy who lived.

The Council had long known of Dumbledore's tendencies that as much as they admire the man for his skills and abilities, they avoided dealing with him in the past. Now, he is practically telling them that the slayer would be fighting in this war.

He knew how special she is to them. The Council did not view her as disposable, unlike muggle Slayers seeing that in history, Slayers who are witches all lived to be elderly as their magical powers could fuel simulacrums of themselves or cast spell works that can do much more damage than one Muggle Slayer, no matter how strong she is.

They have already researched about this new slayer. Hermione Jean Granger is a brilliant powerful witch even before she was Chosen. She is the first witch slayer in over 1537 years.

Doctor

1995

Hermione Jean Granger was transferred from her dorm room into a suite of two rooms they usually assign to teachers to share with her Watcher. She had been surprised at understanding the magical community has over this situation as she knew that this living arrangement would raise alarms in the muggle world. Yan Zekun was after all a 29 year old man who started living with a 14 year old girl when Hermione was chosen.

She is now in her fifth year, she really needs Zekun's help with her OWLS coming up, her duties as Slayer and their practice in Dumbledore's Army.

Speaking of her Watcher, while Zekun absolutely refuses to be a member of the newly reinstated Order of Phoenix, he was and still is a licensed physician in the muggle world and a licensed healer in the wizarding world. This is the reason why he couldn't turn down Dumbledore seeing that he'd graciously allowed this rooming arrangement for him and his Slayer, that and he can't let a man die under his watch.

Thus, he allowed Albus Dumbledore to enter with a magically levitated barely breathing Severus Snape in tow. Zekun transfigured the couch into an operating table and conjured a plastic sheet to cover the table with. Dumbledore set Snape on the table.

Madame Pomfrey, despite being skilled with her healing skills is just a nurse and not a healer or a doctor. These injuries require major organ rearrangement and re-creation. It seems that spying and "researching" for Dumbledore can land a man to such a state, that and the Dark Lord can be really nasty.

Zekun worked in silence, unquestioning and unspeaking, he got some supplies from the advanced medical kit he'd stocked but barely used because he has such a careful Slayer.

It didn't end with just that one incident, time and time again, Zekun would be roused in the middle of the night by a severely wounded Snape who came home from one of Voldemort's revelry. He is sometimes accompanied by the Headmaster but when he got comfortable enough, he started coming in by himself.

Enthralling

1995

Hermione Granger had no choice over the matter and she chose the pragmatic and unemotional route of having the Council obliviate and relocated to an unknown location and then, those who relocated them be obliviated themselves. Her parents became walking targets, not by those who are in the league of the Dark Lord but those who sought to manipulate or to destroy the Slayer.

The very knowledge that she is their daughter would put them in danger. Thus, at the age of 16, in her fifth year, she became the ward of her Watcher. That said Watcher is currently calling himself all sorts of names while his traitorous mind is contradicting every argument.

Part of his duties as her Watcher is to train her in fighting, which means they spar and duel on an almost daily basis. Right now, they have just finished sparring and a victorious Hermione who now used her body to trap him on the floor is grinning widely. "Face it! You lost!"

He pretended to be composed and nodded. "Of course, you'd defeat me. I'm just an old man and you are the Slayer." Hermione got off of him and sat beside him. "Thirty one's hardly old." She said. "Hey! I've got to work on that Potions essay." She added upon remembering her homework and ran to her room without looking back. "No… Thirty one is too old, Hermione…" He silently said as he watched her from the open door of her room running around like a chicken without a head.

He never loved anyone other than Masako, never even looked at any other girl and definitely never made love with anyone else. But he can now understand how easy it was for most Watchers of the opposite gender to fall in love with their Slayer. How can you not fall in love with someone whom destiny and the universe meant to be the other half of your soul and the meaning of your being and existence?

He thought he'd be immune to her charms, given his love for his ex-girlfriend and the fact that he is a good 15 years older. He was dreadfully and horribly wrong. He can still smell her on his person even if she is already safe in her room.
