A Beastly Love (Harry Potter Fanfic)

28

Hermione was laying on the sofa, trying to ignore Harry and Ron who have been arguing about the whole ball thing and whether or not they should go. On top of this, she could hear Harry and Ron talking about how insane she must be to even consider Fenrir as being her mate. Hermione was about to turn the page when the sound of the front door slamming open caused her to nearly jump and pop her stitches. It didn't take long to figure out who was at the front door. 

"HERMIONE! Are you in here?" Fenrir's voice echoed throughout the structure of the house. Hermione attempted to push herself from the couch but she was still in too much pain to get up. Fenrir stormed into the living room as his eyes landed on her. 

"Hermione!" he shouted before rushing over to her side, cupping her face in his palms, "What the bloody hell did you think you were doing? You scared me to death! I thought you may not return!" 

"I didn't mean to frighten you. I thought it would be best if I went a way for just a brief moment to let you two cool down. Since you weren't listening to me to stop. I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted you two to stop fighting." Hermione explained then lightly brushed her fingers over Fenrir's hands and gently kissed his palms. Fenrir pushed his forehead against hers as they just sat there, enjoying each other's company.  He opened his mouth to say something when a loud, annoying crunching sound ruin the moment. Hermione and Fenrir turned their heads to find Sirius sitting on a chair with a large bag of popcorn in his hands as he was watching them. He shook his hand, spilling a few popcorn across the ground.

"Please *bite* don't *bite* mind *bite* me." He said through chews while motioning with his hands for them to continue. Hermione shook his head. 

"Are you serious?" Hermione asked. Sirius opened his mouth but Hermione cut in, "If you are going to make a joke about your name, you can just shut it."

Sirius stuffed his mouth with more popcorn, mumbling about how unfair she was being. She shook her head, about to talk to Fenrir when in came Harry and Ron. Of course neither one appeared happy. 

"How did you get here?" Ron asked, bluntly and cold. Hermione glared at him, but he didn't take the hint. Fenrir pushed himself up till he stood taller than Ron and Harry. 

"I apparated here with the help of Lucius, who knew where this place was."  Fenrir answered them. Harry shook his head. 

"And why did you decide to come here?" Harry shot at him. 

"Harry!" Hermione shot at him. Fenrir lightly pressed his hand on Hermione's shoulder, silently letting her know that it was okay. 

"I came because I was looking for my mate." Fenrir replied. Harry scoffed. 

"Which would be Hermione here," Harry pointed at her, "who a long time ago, you had turn into the Dark Lord for some money. So I'm a bit curious what is it that made you change your mind about her now?" 

"I got to know her." Fenrir answered. 

"Oh, you got to know her. And it has nothing to do with the fact she's now a werewolf?" Harry shot at him. 

"Harry enough!" Hermione shouted at him. 

"No Hermione,  I'm sorry but he can't just waltz back into our lives and just pretend what he did to us, didn't happen. Hermione you got tortured by Bellatrix because of him. He didn't gave a damn if you were hurt, let alone got killed. Hell, he even threatened to bite you then! All he cared about was getting the reward money. And his excuse now is 'I got to know her'? He could have gotten to know you back then and decided not to! The only reason he cares for you is because you're now a werewolf!" Harry ranted. Fenrir took a step forward like he was ready to jump Harry and rip him to shreds, but he held himself back, taking in a deep breath. 

"I'm sorry that I hurt you three in the past. But it is in the past. I am a different man now than I was back then. And I will do everything in my power to make up for what I did to Hermione. Starting right now," Fenrir told them while he walked over to Hermione and lowered himself on his knee. Hermione was a bit confused when she saw he reaching into his coat pocket until he pulled out a small black box.
