Hello Beautiful

Chapter 1

He could hear them coming closer now. They apparated only seconds ago into the woods, but it didn't seem they were aware that they weren't alone. The group continued to debate over what just occurred at some man's house as they walked closer to their wards.

All of their yammering was starting to get to him. He just wanted the money that came with capturing this group of elusive nitwits. As they walked clumsily, he was able to hear the sound of three voices, one of which was female.

"This must be the same one," he thought to himself.

Ever since the winter night he smelled that perfume, he knew there was someone hiding in these woods. His group of snatchers had just found a small group of people who they could collect. Greyback insisted on carrying the child while one of the others carried the man. The group trumped through a passage in the clearing, and that's when he smelled it.

At first he thought he was imagining it but he became certain that it was perfume. He stood there for a while trying to see any form of movement, but there was nothing visible to his well trained eyes. He couldn't see her but he knew she was there somewhere.

That scent obviously belonged to a female, but in these troubled times who would wander around alone? She had to be with someone else or several people.

He had turned these thoughts over in his mind for several weeks following that night. He knew that whoever this female was, she was obviously hiding something or someone. He mulled all of the different possibilities in his mind over and over again. He was becoming slightly obsessed, as he couldn't stop thinking about the girl that he smelled in those woods.

After much debate with himself, he decided it was worth finding out whom or what she had been hiding since it meant gold in his pocket either way.

He managed to convince his group that there were more people to find in those woods. They gave him a fight about going back to those cold and dreary woods. They didn't think a couple of galleons were worth taking more trips into those "bloody freezing woods" as they cared to put it. Especially, since the odds were high that they might not even catch them in the same area again. The group would have to make multiple trips to find the girl and that didn't make his group happy at all.

After some days of arguing, his boys decided to go along with their leader and try and find this little chit. A couple of days later, his group went back to see if they could find her. They used Greyback's sense of smell to help them track the girl better.

However, it seemed it wouldn't be that difficult to locate her after all. He became intrigued even more when he came across something in the woods. He saw that the girl had left her scarf tied to a nearby tree. Carefully he untied it and gave it a quick sniff. Yes…this is the same girl as before.

"Same perfume," he thought.

"I was right. There is more than one of 'em," he mused to himself while rubbing the fabric in between his thumb and index finger.

Obviously, she had left this behind so someone they lost, or wanted to be lost, would be able to find them again. Unfortunately for this little witch, his group wasn't as stupid as people cared to think they were. There were trackers, hunters. Snatchers. They did this for a living and now he was determined to catch every single one of these twits and start collecting. With any luck, he figured they could track them to a general location in the forest. It wasn't as hard as he thought it would be to find them again.

"As a matter of fact", he thought "here they come now."

Breathlessly, he flattened himself against the tree so that they wouldn't see him as they walked by. He waited until they were slightly ahead of him before he made his presence known.

"Hello Beautiful," he calmly said while leaning against a tree, still running his fingers along her scarf, taunting her almost. All three jumped around at the sound of the man's voice.

He inwardly smirked at their nervousness and yelled out, "Well what are you waiting for then?" "Snatch 'em!"

So the chase began. He loves it when they run. The chase makes it all the more rewarding when he finally nabs them. All three of them were running away panicked and afraid. Ginger wasn't that hard to catch since he tripped over his own feet. It was the other two that were giving them a run for their money.

Especially that girl who was throwing spells at them every chance she got. After what seemed an eternity, the Snatchers finally had them surrounded.

By the time their leader got there Greyback had all three of them rounded up.

"What happened to you ugly?" he asked. It was only when Greyback turned to look at him, that he simply responded "No, not you."

The boys face was distorted but it was obvious it was a jinx. Everyone in the group was certain his face wasn't like that when they first apparated into the woods. What are they hiding? He looked around at the other two trying to figure out where he's seen them before.

The man knew something was off based on how nervous the girl was. The females are usually nervous around Greyback but this was different. She was worried about the boy with the mangled face. He could see her eyes darting back and forth between the boy and him.

"I know that look," saying to himself in amusement.

Desperation.

The man decided to take the lead and take a closer look at the lad. He raised his wand towards his face and flicked his black bangs away to reveal a distorted scar of some sort. That's when everything clicked for him. He realized the gold mine they had just caught and it was all because of him!

"Change of plans." "We're taking this lot back to the manor."

With that being said, Greyback decided he better hold onto the boy with the mangled face. He wouldn't be able to get away from his grip. He was certain he was Potter. Which meant a hell of a lot of galleons to lose if he get's splinched somehow. The man knew he wouldn't get away from Greyback so he took hold of the girl and left the rest of the blokes to decide on who had ginger and who carried their stuff. They could be heard them arguing about who got to carry something of theirs. Something about a sword. He turned around to see two of them with their hands on the swords handle trying to wrestle it out of each other's grip.

"Somebody better take the bloody thing so we can get out of here," he said annoyed.

With that, the Snatcher on the right gave it one last yank away from his partner, threw him one last dirty look and took another bag. The other Snatcher turned away looking angry and dejected and grabbed his bag and reluctantly grabbed the red head. Within seconds, they all arrived at the front gate of the manor. He turned to see if Greyback had the boy. Luckily, the boy was still in one piece more or less. He took the girl and moved towards the gate in order to alert the owners that they had arrived. He knew they would be down in a few minutes.

"Now we wait," he said aloud.

A/N:

Weeeeelll….what did you think? This is my first fanfic that I've ever written. So do be gentle with me! LOL

I was leaning towards a Fenrir/Mione but settled on Scab/Mione. I could do the other pairing later.

For now, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of my story. I was thinking of doing a weekly update but that could change to a daily update depending on how fast I can write.

The pairing is going to progress but slowly. It wouldn't make sense if they just suddenly fell in love. I wanted to keep the integrity of the characters.

Read it and Review! Pretty please! Let me know what you think.

Even if it's a negative review!

Feel free to leave my story pointers, grammar, questions you might have, and spelling checks too if you want.
