A Beastly Love (Harry Potter Fanfic)

Fenrir peered over his shoulder, lightly smirking as he pulled out a maroon cotton dress and tossed it to her. Hermione caught it as she pressed it tightly against her chest. 

"Get dress then meet me outside." He ordered before proceeding out of the tent with Levi. Hermione slipped into the dress as she attempted to comb whatever tangles out of her hair. She took a quick glance in the mirror as she took in her form. She saw her hair was a bit darker and longer, her eyes were brighter, and her nails and teeth were a bit sharper. She sighed, attempting to pull the sleeves up her shoulders so she didn't have to see the bite mark. Shaking her head and positioning her hair over it in attempt to hide it, she hurried out of the tent. 

She proceeded to walk across the campsite, which was surprisingly busy, and tried to avoid bumping into anyone. She felt like she was just getting herself more lost with each step she took when she felt a pair of hands on her shoulder. 

"It's so good to see you awake!" Scabior's voice entered her ears as he turned her to face him, "We were worried since you were out for about seven days." 

Hermione's mouth drop. She had been out for a week! She shook her head, unable to form a sentence. Scabior lightly patted her shoulder. 

"I understand. Anyway, Fenrir is wanting you to come to his tent." Scabior told her while he began to drag her behind him. They marched through the crowds of people, who were roaming around either gathering up food or going about fixing things, and headed over to a large tent where a few people stood outside it. 

"Alpha had requested for Hermione's presence for the meeting." Scabior told the person. He nodded his head then opened the flap. Scabior lightly pushed her through the flap as she glance in. It was about the same size of her tent. It was filled with mostly the same things as hers except there was a lot more maps and tons of strange bags filled with whatever mysterious items. 

"Exactly why are you here?" Her head shot over to see Fenrir with Levi and Damon standing beside him as another man stood before them. She didn't know who it was since she couldn't really see who it was even though part of believed she knew the man. 

"I believed you already know why I'm here, Fenrir." the man spoke. Hermione's eyes widened as she tilted her head. 

"Professor Lupin?" She whispered. Everyone's attention turned towards her and sure enough the man was indeed Professor Lupin. 

"Miss Granger? Why are you here?" Remus asked her, his face twisted up in concern. Before she could answer his question, Fenrir moved over to her and spoke. 

"Oh, Remus I would like you to meet our newest member of my pack," Fenrir stated as he stood behind her, lightly placing his hands on her shoulders. Remus shook his head. 

"What? Impossible! How can this be?" Remus asked. Fenrir smirked before roughly pulling Hermione's head down to expose her neck then pushed her hair away from the shoulder that had her bite mark on. 

"Why the hell don't you explain that? After all this is your bite." Fenrir said, mockingly. She peered down as best as she could to see Remus's face twisted in shame and sorrow. She struggled against Fenrir's grip. Surprisingly, Fenrir released her and moved over to Remus. 

"Did she even want the pack life?" Remus asked him. Fenrir burst out laughing. 

"Compared to what awaits her in the Wizarding World, she has a better chance living here I assure you." Fenrir stated to Remus. Remus shook his head while storming up to Fenrir, nearly getting into his face. 

"She has the right to not be in the pack and you know!" Remus shouted at him. 

"Oh? Well the only way out is through a fight." Fenrir growled at him. 

"And I gladly challenge for her." Remus shot at him. Fenrir's eyebrows shot up as he tilted his head, confusion gleaming in his eyes before it was replaced with a smug look and twisted smirk. 

"Sure, there will be a fight but not with you," Fenrir stated while he gaze over at Hermione, "Since you're the one that doesn't want to be in the pack, you can be the one to fight for your own freedom."
