Chapt 31

"I told you Yin and Yang." Falling into her memory of the past nine months.

She found herself at the edge of a deep forest with Lucius standing beside her along with fifty of the Outer Circle.

Lucius spoke. "Sister Hermione will command you and when you get to the supposed "Priestess". She will contact me and I will come to you."

The gathered grumbled at being placed in charge of a witch and held their tongue remembering her escapades in Germany.

Hermione looked to her group. "You need to change out of your robes and adapt."

One Deatheater spoke up. "We go forth and do not need to change Sister."

Hermione looked to the group realizing they stood as one on the subject. "Very well. Let's go and make sure you have the machetes I provided you."

She led the group in cursing realizing Lucius's plan. He would sit back and wait and if not heard from her he would go back to the Dark Lord in time reporting the failure of the expedition.

The forest was thick and they made little headway before settling into a clearing for the night. Watching the fifty men pull their wands out and spoke a spell to the tents and found nothing happened.

She watched and shouted out "Augumenti." Pointing her wand out. Nothing happened.

"We will not have magic here it seems. Put your tents together on your own." She growled out and looked to her group.

They looked to her with a blank look. She sighed and took out one and showed them how to set it up. "Get to it and set up a guard for us."

They nodded and went to work.

Forty days passed and she looked to her group. Most discarded the thick robes they wore one week in and were in various states with some not wearing shirts at all. They sat down miserable and ate the frugal rations that she passed out before crawling into their tents for the night.

It was then that members of her group went missing. One every other day when they woke up and found their comrade missing. After twenty days one was bold enough to address her with fifteen standing behind him. "You fail us Sister and we are going back."

He looked to the. Outnumbered and no magic meant there was nothing to threaten them with. "You can go but remember it took us sixty days to get here and I'm not giving you food. That is needed for the remaining. If you make it out tell Brother Lucius we continue in our Lord's mission. Remember I have food and water and all you have is tents. If any of you feel the same way you can go with them."

The wizards turned away and walked back to the path that they cut out while the rest remained.

Hermione spoke to her group. "You are the best of the Outer Circle. Do not let those of less mettle deter you. What do you think will happen if they get through and in front of our Lord? They are not worthy of this mission."

She tried to inspire them and they merely nodded and went to their tents for the night. They were broken but still held out.

She crawled into her tent after posting the guards. Merlin! Six left including her.

The next day she woke and counted and found another leaving their number to five. She looked to her map and held her compass out. She was sure that they were half way in but doubted her compass noticing for the first time that it spun and stopped randomly when she held it longer than normal than taking a reading.

After three days Briolen came to her. He was the elected leader of the remaining and spoke. "Sister I do not mean question you but we are not going to live this out. Our number is now to four and despite our watch one disappears every other day. They want to go on their own."

Hermione sighed. "I understand Briolen and our food is gone with this morning's meal. They can go and if I make it out I will tell the Dark Lord of their dedication."

Hermione looked to the group for a moment and pulled out three cans of food that she held back. "Take these Briolen and I wish you luck."

Briolen took the cans and held them in his hands. "Come with us Sister. None of us doubts your loyalty to our Lord."

She smiled and shook her head. "I cannot."

He nodded. "You are truly of the Inner Circle and thank you for releasing us. We would be killed for suggesting it with any other."

"Briolen we have no magic here so not much I can do to anyone. Go and good luck."

"We know how to gather water because of you." Handing her his full canteen encouraging her to take it. "Good luck to you."

Hermione took the canteen watching the group leave. "And to you as well Briolen." She whispered out before continuing on in the opposite direction.

Severus broke her story. "Foolish Gryffindor witch that you are to give up your remaining food to them Hermione. They never made it out."

"I know Severus but they remained true to me. I had to give them a chance."

Severus said nothing and motioned she should continue.

"Twenty days I continued with little food that I found and half way into the twenty first day I dropped. There was no more in me. I pulled my backpack to me and wrote a letter to you and William stating my love for you both."

Hermione watched his startled expression and smiled. "Yes Severus I realized that I loved you as I laid in the forest to die and closed my eyes. I know you do not feel the same but it gave me comfort in the end. Albus appeared in my dream encouraging me to go on but I could not. Just as I was about to travel I felt a hand on my chest and looked to an old witch that arrived in my dream and command me to live a day longer. I opened my eyes and found the same witch in my dream with me and she pulled the necklace you gave me away and told me that my true life would begin." Falling back into her memory.

She woke up and found an old witch looking to her. "I am Dao Zing and welcome Hermione Snape of Yang."

"I don't understand. Are you the Priestess that others have whispered about?"

"Rest Hermione Snape. I am Yin to Yang of the Dark as Dark is my Yang. Are you here because of him?"

She looked to the old witch. "I am here at behest of my Lord."

Dao Zing looked to the witch. "There are so many. Who is it that you refer to?"

Hermione looked up. "I refer to my Lord Voldemort."

"Ah yes he is deep within Yang and you are Yin but you are another's Yin. I will keep you here and teach you but it may kill you. You are Yang."

She watched the old witch point her hand to her and fell asleep.

Dao went to her outer chamber looking to her faithful. "Kill all that have been captured and feast tonight my friends. I command it so."

The twenty villagers in her chamber jumped up in joy and moved to obey her. The opportunity to taste human flesh diminished as no one dared to enter their territory since their Priestess returned to them. Sometimes centuries would pass before a white flash heralded her return.

Hermione woke up stomach grumbling when she smelled the aroma of meat roasting. She moved to the open entrance and watched the villager's singing while they prepared their feast. It took everything within her to keep from rushing out and greedily eating anything she could put her hands on.

Dao Zing moved beside the young woman observing her appearance. "It must be hard on you to smell this food cooking and not rush to it. I admire your fortitude."

"You were more prepared for this journey unlike those that were with you. Left alone and you did not give up. For one of Yin you show such dedication to one that does not belong to you."

Hermione sighed. "I'm not sure how to address you. Priestess, my Lady…"

Dao Zing chuckled. "Just Dao young one. I'm not one for formalities for the only thing I look for resides around you." Helping Hermione to a chair. "Tell me why you and fifty others came to find me."

"My comrades came with me commanded by my Lord." Hermione began.

"You are not his so do not give him respect. Just say his name." Dao spoke out in a sharp voice.

"By Voldemort then. I was also commanded but I cannot say no because the future resides on me to enable a wizard destined by prophecy to kill Voldemort. But there is more to it because my son will die if I fail."

"Tell me everything Hermione Snape." Dao demanded smiling at the witch's startled look pleased when she gathered herself and began the tale of what happened after Voldemort came out victorious.

The room darkened as Hermione finished her story and watched as one of the villagers came in and lit a torch speaking to the old witch in a language she did not recognize for a moment before leaving.

Dao nodded to her noticing her glances toward the open door when she paused in her story from time to time realizing the smell of food so close must be driving her mad. "Jang informed me that the feast is ready and inquired if you are to join them. Let's join them and we can finish our conversation later." Helping Hermione up and led her out and placed her in one of two large chairs placed to the side of the large bonfire that was burning brightly in the night.

Two brought up platters made of wood one containing fruits and rice which was given to the Priestess and another filled with meat wrapped in leaves along with rice.

She picked up a morsel of meat wrapped in a leave and ate, not noticing the taste of it and soon the meat and rice in the platter was empty.

Jang noticed the strange woman's plate empty and spoke to his priestess inquiring if more was needed.

Dao spoke in their language once again and Hermione watched the man smile to her and took the empty platter away. "He wanted to give you more but I told him no because you will be sick as you have not had food."

"I hope he was not offended Dao." She could eat more but she knew the old witch's words were true.

"He wasn't Hermione. Jang has been following your group the entire time. He is the only one here that knows your language and he watched you give up your ration many nights to others in your group. Now watch Hermione."

She watched Jang stand up with two others next to him and began to speak while Dao translated. "My kin and those of my kin we feast tonight because our glorious Priestess provided it." Pointing to the old witch as the men and woman surrounding them shouted out and clapped.

Jang crouched down and spoke again. "I tracked the enemies of our Priestess and took them away one by one into the nights that followed and not discovered."

Silence reigned as the young man continued his tale. "I took all save one as commanded and when I saw her fall I informed the one we protect and she saved her and she partakes of the feast of our enemy with us. She gains the strength of our enemy along with us but hold!"

The young men with Jang stood up along with him. "They were not worthy and tried to bring evil to us so we cleaned our enemy before preparation. Look to evil and know that it will never poison us." Moving to the right side and picked up an arm holding it up.

Hermione realized then what it was she ate watching the left arm Jang held up bearing the Dark Lord's mark pointing to Hermione and spoke again while Dao translated.

"She brings us our feast and partakes with us! Dance my kin as we imbibe the strengths of our enemy!"

Hermione watched Jang grab a beautiful woman and began to dance around the fire and soon all the villagers joined them.

Dao looked to the young witch pleased that she showed no reaction to what she just ate.

"They believe that consuming their enemy's flesh makes them stronger. Jang knew you were the enemy based on my command to take those with this picking up her left arm and revealed her Mark and held it up to the villagers as a happy shout sounded out as the dancing continued. "You here and eating with them gives you status now young witch and that is what is needed as I train you. Come with me Hermione. This will last for hours and you are not up to it."

Draco interrupted her story nose wrinkling in disgust before he asked. "You consumed human flesh? What did it taste like?" Curiosity getting the better of him.

Severus glared at his Godson while Hermione looked to Draco darkly. "I remember it being the best thing I had ever eaten in my entire life. I was starved for Merlin's sake and anything given to me at that time would have been the best thing I ever had." She growled out.

"Don't worry Draco I am not about to gut you and put you on a spit to roast for hours because I now have a taste for it. It was the only time I had meat as Dao fed me meager portions of rice and fruit after that."

"Continue your story Hermione." Severus growled out pleased that the witch did not lose her spark while away.

She sighed out. "After that it was all training as she prepared me. But first I lived with the villager's for two months and gave me the ability to understand their language, her command to me to learn. Jang trained me in stealth and their ways always treating me in respect for Dao introduced me as Warrior as the title means much in their society because they protect the village when she is not there. After two months living with them and accepting their society she asked me why she chose them and reside there when she comes back. The answer was simple as little food and water opened my mind to other things. Do you know what it was?"

She looked to the men seated across from her not offering an answer. "Simple because they have no Dark or Light. They live."

She watched Severus ponder her answer realizing Dao's words to her were true that her Yang would not understand it. "Don't worry about it Severus because she told me our world is focused on lines and you would not understand it."

Severus said nothing instead motioning for her to continue.

"Just before she sent me back she asked me what Voldemort required of her. I could not answer because Lucius never told me. Dao laughed and led me out to the a garden and bade me to look and I found Moon Lilys growing and watched as she pulled up two and gave them to me telling me all I would need is to replace the two remaining and not to worry of a charm. Then she sent me back here telling me I would know when the time came and to tell Voldemort that she would not intervene unless she found those of true Light. That is the message you need to tell him."

Severus stood up and spoke to Draco. "You know her story so go."

Draco left hearing the anger in his Godfather's voice and did not understand it and left immediately.

Severus watched the door close behind the wizard before turning back to her in anger. "You slept with him." He accused.

Hermione stood up remembering the gentle touch of Jang and his sadness of her state when they joined for the first time. "It is nothing Severus. You've done it before when needed so do not judge me of it now. Why don't you read the letter I wrote when I thought I was going to die and then try to judge me?" She growled out. "I need sleep and you have a Dark Lord to inform of his success." Pointing to her discarded white robe laying on the floor and left him, moving to their bath chambers to clean herself up.
