A Beastly Love (Harry Potter Fanfic)

2

Hermione started to panic. She didn't know whose clothes and shoes they belonged to. And if they belonged to Death Eaters then she was good as dead! Slowly Hermione drifted towards the shore, trying to get away as quick as she could when her attention shifted when she heard a loud howling sound. She peered over her shoulder to see three naked men goofing around with each other as they seemed to be taking a bath or a swim. Hermione's cheeks warmed up as she returned her focus back to get out of there. 

She was nearly to shore when she accidentally fall into a pocket or something, causing her to fall deeper into the water. She shrieked as she attempted to stop herself from making any more noises. 

"What was that?" a man spoke up. She leaned herself against the rock as she could hear her heart pounding in her ears. She held her breath in attempt to try to get them to get away. It felt like hours till she felt she could slowly start to move closer to the shore. 

She was about to reach the edge of the shore when she felt a pair of hands grabbing her arms and pulling her back into the water. She fumbled a bit till she got her footing on the sandy bottom as she gazed up to see one of the men standing in front of her. 

"Well, look at what we have here? Hey fellows get a load of this." The man called out to his friends. Hermione wrapped her arms over her chest while she tried to get around him. The man, however, kept blocking her way from the shoreline. He was snickering and grinning like a fool as if this was a nothing more than game to him. 

"Back off!" Hermione shouted while she carefully pushed against him with one of her arms, the other attempting to keep her covered.  The man simply burst out laughing while he lightly grabbed hold of her wrist.

"Oh! Fiesty for a newborn werewolf! I think I'm going to have fun with you!" the man chuckled as he began reaching out for her with the other hand. Hermione tore her arm from his hold and started to back off to get away from him when she bumped into someone. 

"You have to forgive Scabior," the man behind her said, causing her to peek behind her shoulders, "he's a tease to the new ones. Especially when they're ladies." 

Hermione backed away from him, trying her hardest to keep herself covered up and away from the two of them. The man nervously chuckled. 

"I think introductions are in order, don't you? Hi, I'm Levi! You know Scabior here," Levi introduced himself then pointed over to Scabior, who waved his fingers with a taunting smirk. Hermione shook her head as she mumbled a quiet 'hi' to them. Then she felt an arm wrap around her shoulders as she was pulled against someone's side. 

"And I'm Damon! And we're three of the pack's proud Betas, hand selected by the Alpha himself!"" Damon cheered, his tone sounding prideful, as he tightened his grip on her. Hermione grunted while she pulled herself away from his hold, thankful of not having to reveal her breast to them. Levi rolled his eyes. 

"Dude! What are you doing? You're going to scare her away! We barely have any female members as it is and you know how rare it is to find one wandering about!" Levi scowled him before he turned towards Hermione, "So what's your name?" 

Hermione opened her mouth to lie and say something else, possibly a lie to get her out of this mess when a voice whispered right into her ear...

"Hermione Jean Granger."
