The League of Extraordinary Women (Gen)

Great story in which this time Hermione is the focus of a prophecy. She needs to go to different realities to fetch the women that she will need to defeat a god that is threatening all realities. Of course it is our favorite divination professor who gives the following:

THE GATES WILL OPEN. THE CREATURES WILL BE FREED. THE MISTRESS D’LAZZA WILL RELEASE HER ARMIES ONTO THE WORLD. NO MAN OF WOMAN BORN MAY STOP HER. ONLY THE ONE OF THE THREE, AURUM BUT NOT LILY, BROWN BUT NOT RED, MAY SUCCEED. THE ONE MUST SEEK THE SIX. THE MISTRESS OF THE GATES, NOT A MINOR BUT MAJOR. THE TREE OF RED WHO IS NO LONGER BLACK. THE CHOSEN ONE, SISTER OF SUNRISE, WHO HAS CHOSEN ALL. THE FELINE WHO HAS TURNED TAIL. ONCE WHOLE NOW PART NOT LEGS NOR ARM NOR EAR. NOT A DIETER BUT FROM DIET TO DIRECT. ONLY THE SEVEN MAY TRIUMPH. AND IN TRIUMPH NOT ALL WILL SURVIVE.

So Hermione buckles down and finds a way to get her teammates, for me only 3 were obvious but once she got them I was oh that was obvious. The story has great characterization, snarky quips, character growth, weaknesses, and the triumph balanced by loss.
