A Single Kiss...
By Greeneyes
Fenrir/Hermione
The end of the second Wizardry War did not only end lives but love. Some became widows, some left to start a fresh new life and some had to leave but not by choice.
The War ended a midnight on the 1st May 1998. The final battle had been fought at Hogwarts and the end came to head in the Great Hall between the boy who lived Harry Potter and the Dark Lord Voldemort. Death Eaters and Order members fought and fell around them as Harry Potter finally defeated Lord Voldemort.
As Voldemort fell and the sun came up, the realisation set in. Order members and Death Eaters lay dead on the ground of the Great Hall, couples comforted each other and family members went about searching for love ones.
For Hermione Granger, she was trying to find a love one. No not Ronald Weasley or even Viktor Krum (who had come to help the order) but notorious Werewolf Fenrir Greyback. The Werewolf and his pack had joined the Order in the early months of 1998 when Voldemort had ordered Fenrir to submit his entire pack to him. Fenrir was the one true Alpha of his pack, Voldemort would not control his pack and it was his duty to protect them.
He went to Severus Snape who then took Fenrir to see the late Albus Dumbledore. The then Headmaster was pleasantly surprised which didn't happen much and agreed to allow Fenrir and his pack into the order (sought of). His pack soon relocated to the forbidden forest and Fenrir became a spy with Snape.
With Fenrir and his pack on their side, the Order was looking more hopeful. Werewolves were strong fighters and the Order could do with every little help possible. Of course there was an agreement; a wizards oath that Fenrir took with the Headmaster and Severus Snape. He would promise his faithfulness to the light and his pack would do the same.
It was late one night in March; Hermione had stormed out of the Gryffindor common room after another argument with Ronald which led to them breaking up, or rather Hermione shouting that she was done with his 'useless arse'.
She was so angry she felt suffocated and walked down to Hagrid's Hutt to have a cup a tea; that would calm her she thought. However as she reached the old worn out Hutt, Hagrid was nowhere to be seen.
As she turned around to walk back to the school she heard rustling in bushes. She shook her head and told herself it was wind although in the dry March night there wasn't a lot. She took a few steps towards the forbidden forest and looked deep into it. Darkness.
She took a deep breath and turned her back and started to walk when she heard two voices coming from the forbidden forest.
'Don't take another step or I'll kill you Wolf, mark my words I will.' She head a deep rough voice say.
She then heard a growl and a harsh sounds voice reply. 'You can't stop me Snape. I can do what I want.'
Snape? What was he doing in the forbidden forest? And who was he walking to? Why did he call the person Wolf?
'Greyback leave her.' Snape repeated.
Greyback? Wolf? Fenrir Greyback was on the ground of Hogwarts with Snape! What was going on!
Hermione quickly fled back to the school practically running. As soon as she got into the school she fell back against the heavy entrance door and sighed. She was safe.
'Hello little cub.' The same harsh voice that she had heard in the forest said.
Hermione screamed and jumped with surprise as the Werewolf put his huge hand across her mouth stopping the sound.
How the hell did he get inside so quickly? She hadn't seen him come in or even past her to get in she thought. She looked up at the beast...man in front of her and her eyes widened. He was over 6ft 6 and physically a strong and dominant man. His hair was a medium dirty brown and it reached his jaw line. His eyes were sparkling blue and stood out in the darkness; she was sure she read that Werewolves eyes were yellow however his were not. He was wearing old denim jeans which were now grey and had rips in and a black trench coat. He had no shirt on she noticed; his chest was actually bare, no hair and very muscular.
Fenrir watched as the girl looked at him, he saw her studying his features with surprise. He opened his mouth as he growled showing off his canines. Hermione gasped as she saw them.
'What do you want with me?' Hermione said slowly as she trembled.
'What do you think I want from you?' Fenrir said as she moved his face closer to hers bearing his sharp teeth.
'I...don't...I don't know. Please, don't...bite me.' She said as she shook with fear.
'Greyback!' The headmaster shouted with his wand pointed towards the man. 'Step away from Ms Granger now.'
Fenrir looked at the girl once last time and stepped back away from her. Hermione ran into the arms her head of house Professor McGonagall who held her close like a mother would with her child. She whispered comforting words to her and rubbed her back trying to crease the cries Hermione was making.
'I'm leaving old man. Put down the wand.' Fenrir said as he smashed open the heavy wooden doors and walked out down to the forbidden forest.
'Miss Granger...did he try anything?' Albus asked the young girl.
'No...Nothing.' She replied as she wiped her wet eyes.
'Good.' Minerva said as she looked up at Albus. 'Now let's get you back to your room. What were you doing out at this time anyway Ms Granger?'
'Don't worry about that Minerva.' Albus said as he walked down the corridor back to his office deep in thought.
In the next coming weeks, Hermione never saw Fenrir again. She would often sit looking out the window which backed onto the Forbidden Forest. She wanted to know more about him; she felt the urge to see him again.
It was a late April night when Hermione ventured outside to the Forbidden forest. She wanted to see Fenrir again; no she needed to see him. Since their last meeting, every dream, every day dream involved the werewolf. She felt like someone was watching her, she felt like he was watching her and she needed answers.
One night after the incident she had heard Professor Snape and McGonagall talking with the Headmaster about the Werewolf.
'He must not go near her.' Minerva said quietly. 'He's dangerous.'
'We can't keep a werewolf away from it...' Snape started but was cut off by the Headmaster.
'Not here Severus! People can hear. My office.' He said sharply as the three walked off.
After that night she knew she had to see him again so she did.
As she reached the forbidden forest she carefully looked around to see if he was near; for once she didn't feel him watching her.
She walked through the forest with her wand gripped to her hand encase she had to protect herself. Hermione crossed a small lake and then stood under a huge oak tree.
Where the hell was he? She thought. Just as she was about to give up she heard footsteps from behind her. As she turned around expecting to see Fenrir, she realised the tall scruffy man in front of her was not him.
'What's a little girl like you doing in this big bag forest?' the man said as he beared his teeth to Hermione.
Hermione's mind and mouth wouldn't function. No words would come from the mouth; her voice was silent. She looked at the tall man in front of her and took a step back. Although as she stepped back, he stepped towards her.
'Don't even think about it.' He said roughly which scared Hermione.
Hermione gripped her wand tighter in her hand and then took another step back and pointed her wand out. She shot a stunner at the man and took off running. She knew the stunner would last long and she needed to get out of this daym forest. She ran through the forest as fast as she could looking back to see if she was being chased.
As she reached a lake which she couldn't cross she started to cry. She turned to her left and saw a small bridge a few yards off. She ran as fast as she could to the bridge as she heard someone behind her. As she reached the bridge, she was pulled back into a pair of strong arms.
'Please...don't...please...' she begged as she looked up.
'What the hell are you doing here?' Fenrir said as his eyes pierced into hers.
'Man! Coming after to me! Help me! Please!' she said as she looked around for the man who was chasing her.
Fenrir could smell her fear miles off, hence why he had come to her rescue. He pulled the school girl into his chest protectively and looked around at the surroundings looking for the 'man' Hermione had said was chasing her.
'Come out; come out where ever you are.' A voice carried through to them.
'Oh my god!' Hermione whispered.
The man stepped into the moonlight and stopped dead in his tracks when he took in Hermione standing in the Alpha's arms.
'Alpha...I didn't know she was...with you.' The man who now seemed much smaller said.
'Well she is.' Fenrir said roughly. 'Don't ever come near her again or I'll rip you limp from limp.'
'Yes Alpha.' The man replied as he took off running back through the forest.
Hermione stepped out of Fenrir's arms and looked up at him. She smiled softly and then looked at the floor.
'Thanks.' She said softly.
'Does anyone know you're here?' he asked as he looked at Hermione who was only wearing her school uniform with no robe.
Hermione shook her head and then looked at Fenrir. 'I need to go back to school.'
'Yes you do but first you're going to tell me why you're here?' He asked.
'I...don't know. I just felt like I needed to ...needed to see you.' She said warily.
'Do you want to know why you have that feeling?' he said as he stood chest to chest with her.
Hermione only nodded and waited for his answer.
'Because you're mine Hermione Granger, my mate, my love, mine.' He said.
'Mate? Yours?' she said trembling.
'Mine.' He said as he pulled her to him and kissed her.
And that's where is begun...with a single kiss.
After that night, Hermione would sneak to the forbidden forest and spend a few hours with Fenrir. At first she was wary of him, she didn't know whether to believe him and she didn't not until she spoke to the Headmaster who explained things clearly.
They spent time walking through the forest most nights; he once took her to meet his pack which scared Hermione no end. The pack was a hundred full. Men, women and even children. Fenrir explain pack life to Hermione which felt unnatural to her; she couldn't imagine living in a pack, it was so animalistic.
Hermione kept her secret nights with Fenrir a secret. Only the three Professors knew, Harry, Ron and Ginny were kept in the dark.
As the battle grew closer, Fenrir became more possessive of Hermione. He tried to convince her not to fight however nothing would stop Hermione from helping her best friend.
On the eve of the battle, Hermione and Fenrir spent the night together cuddled under the stars in a cave in forbidden forest. They made love and expressed their love to each other. Fenrir once again tried to persuade Hermione to not fight but she left bright and early in the morning ready to fight.
At the end of the battle, Hermione looked around for Fenrir. She knew he was alright, she saw him at the end when Voldemort fell but now he was nowhere to be seen. She walked out the Great Hall and ran to the forbidden forest; he had to be here.
'Fenrir!' She shouted as she reached the lake where they had met that night.
'Hermione.' He said from the bridge which he was slumped against looking defeated.
'Why did you leave?' she asked as she walked towards him.
'I have to leave Hermione. My pack needs a new home, it's time for us to move on now.' He said carefully.
'Leave? Move?' she asked. 'Why can't you stay here?'
'This was only temporary until the end of the War and now it's over and we must leave.' He said.
'No!' she shouted at him. 'I want you to stay. You need to stay.' She argued.
'Come with me.' He said
'Fen...I...can't. My life is here.' She said.
'I have to go.' He said as he stepped back.
'Please.' She said with tears falling down her face. 'I...love...you.'
Fenrir pulled Hermione against him and picked her up and kissed her showing her just how much he loved her. He found it hard to express his love to her in words but showing her was no problem.
Hermione wrapped her legs around his body tightly as if she would never let go. She kissed him with all her might as tears fell down her face.
'Please.' She whispered as she rested her forehead against his.
'I can't.' He said as he let her slide down his body and put her feet back on the ground.
With one last single kiss he was gone...
AU: A Single Kiss is my new story; I have recently read a Fenrir/ Hermione story and I just had to write one. I imagine Fenrir not as he is seen in the movie. I hope you enjoy the pairing and give it a change. I know I had to.
Reviews are most welcome.
I hope to continue this story. Any suggestions are most welcome.
