Fallen in Love with a Snatcher (Harry Potter Fanfic)

18

*A couple of minutes beforehand* 

"You all can't be serious?" Molly screamed out, pounding her hands against the table, "You actually brought those Snatchers into our hideout! What were you guys thinking? They could very well tell You-Know-Who where we are!" 

"Apparently they aren't with You-Know-Who anymore... because one of them is dating one of our members." Remus admitted while shooting a look at Hermione, who was sat at the far end of the table. Molly shook her head in confusion, bewildered at what Remus was even suggesting to her. Remus sighed before pointing at Hermione. Molly's eyes widened. 

"You're kidding me, right? Hermione, how could you love someone like him? He's a snatcher! He basically kidnaps people and hand them over to the ministry where they get killed and those snatchers get paid to do that." Molly asked her, leaning over the table, looking like she was about to have a heart attack. 

"Now come on, Molly. It just happened. You know how love can be sometimes. You just end up with people you least suspect yet it works out in the end." Tonks stood up for Hermione. 

"But-- But with a Snatcher!" Molly shrieked. 

"At least she's not dating a Death Eater." Kingsley argued, "I'm sure we might be able to trust this Scabior person, but I do have my doubts with Fenrir. He could turn on us in a heartbeat if he wanted to." 

"I think if we give him something he wants, he and the other werewolves won't hesitate in helping us in the war." Hermione blurted out to them. Everyone turned to look at her like she was insane. 

"You want us to give him people to turn into a werewolves? That's so nice of you." Ron asked her. Hermione rolled her eyes. 

"No, that's not what I'm saying, Ronald! What I'm suggesting is maybe offer him a better offer. Like protection and better living condition for him and werewolf kind? I mean that's basically why he even wants to build this army in the first place. He wants to get rid of a world that has been treating him and people like him as if they were nothing more than trash." Hermione explained to them what she meant. 

"Hermione's right." Tonks agreed with her, "That's the only reason he's hanging out with You-Know-Who. He's getting people to build his army to attack Wizards for the way he and others have been treated. I say lets promise him to ensure werewolves have better treatment when the war is over and we win." 

"Are we seriously even thinking about working with Fenrir Greyback? I mean that just sounds... nuts!" Ron commented on. 

"Hermione," Harry spoke up, "You've been around Fenrir for a couple of days now. What was he like with you?" 

"He was actually kind. He also was quite funny at times too, but he wasn't at all the way Remus described him. He could have turned me in when he found me in Scabior's tent, but instead he listened to Scabior's feelings about me and shrugged it off." Hermione admitted to them. 

"He's probably was playing you." Remus mumbled, "I'm sure he's doing this so that if there's a chance we do win, he wants to be free from whatever Azkaban sentence he's probably going to get." 

"And so what if he is?" Hermione asked, "Having Fenrir and the other werewolves on our side could be the push we need to win this war. It means he's going to be loyal to us if it promises him a second chance at life." 

"She's right again, Remus." Kingsley pointed out, "So what are we going to do? I see half of us are against the idea to recruit these men while the other half believe we should." 

"To be honest, I don't know." Remus confessed, brushing his hair back behind his ears. 

"Hermione," Tonks spoke up, "Do you trust Scabior?" 

Hermione nodded her head that she could indeed trust Scabior. Everyone looked at each other before Remus sighed. 

"Lets bring them in." Remus said before they began walking out of the kitchen.
