I'll Always Snatch You (Harry Potter Fandom)

"Hermione's still not back, Ron. I'm starting to get worried." Harry told Ron as they walked through the hallway after the last class and started to head back to the dorms. Harry first thought Hermione was getting back at them for daring her to go into the forest and he wasn't the only one who thought this was a possible answer to her lack of coming back. However, Harry knew too well that she wouldn't take it to the point where she missed classes. Ron shrugged her shoulders. 

"I'm sure she is still trying to get back at us for daring her to go into the forest. You saw the way she looked when she got the dare. She probably wants to make us feel the worse of the worse for what we did." Ron stated, even though Harry could clearly see the concern glowing in Ron's eyes. 

"Even if it meant missing class?" Harry asked him, knowing there is no way Hermione would do that. Ron shrugged. 

"I think that's why she would do it. Because she knew that we know she wouldn't want to do something like that. It's the only way she would know we really would be scare for her." Ron claimed to Harry, "I bet she is probably at Hogsmeade right now drinking butterbeer, imagining the look of terror on our faces." 

Harry was going to try to defend Hermione because to do something like that could get one into trouble and Hermione wouldn't want to get into trouble with anyone especially if it might get her expelled when McGonagall's voice caught his ears. 

"Are you sure? Remus, if you say what you are saying that would mean the students might be in trouble." McGonagall claimed. Harry and Ron slowly peered around a corner to see McGonagall standing with Remus and Albus. 

"I'm positive. There is no denying it. Fenrir Greyback and his pack are out in the Forbidden Forest right this minute." Remus declared to them. Harry's eyes widened, remembering how Remus mentioned something about Fenrir biting Remus when he was younger.  Now to think he was roaming around in the same forest they send Hermione in made Harry cringe in worry. 

"What should we do, Albus? We should get people to watch the forest in case he tries to invade Hogswart." McGonagalll suggested to them. Remus shook his head. 

"Fenrir is arrogant but he's not stupid. He would be a fool if he tried to come to Hogwarts and try to mess with us. If anything, he would let people come to him, on his ground that he knows better." Remus explained to them. 

"Why would he be here in the first place?" McGonagall asked them. 

"I fear he might be here for you Mr. Lupin. If I'm not mistaken, you two do have a history with each other." Albus considered to him. Remus shook his head. 

"Frankly I believe it more about trying to escape the werewolf capture unit. No one in their right mind would go in there anyway. It makes sense why he would bring his pack there to protect them. He probably has no idea I'm even here." Remus claimed to them. 

"We have to find a way to get rid of him, Albus!" McGonagall growled at him. Albus shook his head. 

"I believe it wise to leave him alone. After all, he has escaped the ministry more times than someone can count. He clearly just protecting his pack. As long as he shows no harm to the students or the people working here, he can stay." Albus made his choice. 

"You're not serious, Albus!" McGonagall shouted at him. 

"I'm quite serious, Minerva. By allowing him to make camp in the forest, we might earn his loyalty or at least to ensure he might not join the other side." Albus explained his reasons, "beside Hagrid, who else enters the forest?" 

With that they made their ways down the hallway, McGonagall screaming how insane Albus is along with Remus. Harry and Ron rushed out, their eyes widen and their mouth down to their chest. 

"Oh no, Hermione..." Ron whispered with Harry nodded in agreement. It was then Harry feared Hermione was being tormented.
