Summary: Hermione and Scabior are still in love but their lives are one big mess, and about to become even more complicated.

Rating: Mature for all sorts of reasons.

Warning: Contains non-hp elements. Contains multiple cloning of Scabior.

History: This story is based on a rp I (scabiorsexysnatcher) have at Hyves with a wonderful Hermione (Smartywitch). There are references to other characters of other series. Don't be too much distracted by them. The story will really take off in the third upload (chapter 2) and will be purely ScabiorxHermione. More background reading below, but you can skip if you're not interested.

A Scabior for Hermione Alone


:Prologue:

Sometimes odd things happen in life. Hermione could still remember the day the snatchers took her to their camp. She could still relive how the leader of the snatchers, always in conflict with the bad wolf, had taken an interest in her. From the very start he had commented on her scent, touched her hair, showed great interest in any part of her being.

Scabior, as his name was, had kept her in his own tent, like a hostage he cared for a bit too much. He had not been particularly kind, but he had not allowed for any of his men to hurt her either. He would be the only man to do so.

And then she had been saved. He had even helped her and Harry and Ron to escape. She wasn't quite sure if anyone had noticed. Harry didn't seem to realise the snatcher had helped them and neither did Ron. Hermione had told herself it to be a good thing. After all, if someone would find out Scabior could be in problems.

But now that the war was over and Hermione had taken on a new function at the Ministry she had made it a mission to tell others about the snatcher's help. For years he had been plaguing her mind and teasing her dreams.

She was older now and happily engaged to the ginger boy, her best friend; Ron. And as she lay on her bed staring up at the ring he'd given her she felt sad, as if she didn't deserve him. For her mind was constantly wandering to the man she tried to get a pardon for. She knew he was hiding out there, with all the other surviving snatchers and Dark Wizards.

At first they had believed he was dead. Neville had confirmed it himself, and Hermione had even smiled at the party and flirted with Ron as if there had been no tomorrow. Perhaps it had been her way of dealing with the sad news. She could have expected for him to die during the battle of Hogwarts. He was on the wrong side, after all.

And thus Hermione set off on a quest to find this man that had been teasing her mind so. She had a legitimate reason. Scabior could tell her the whereabouts of other dangerous wizards. One of the most wanted men now was Fenrir, and as he and Scabior had been working together, Hermione thought the snatcher might know where the wolf was hiding. He could help her, she was sure of it.

She dressed up and with her bag packed she went to one of the forests she'd been those years ago. It didn't take too long for her to find him. He stood hidden high on a tree branch and exposed himself to her quite easily. It seemed he didn't see her as a threat, though she had a hard time convincing him that she had no hostile intentions. Eventually he believed her.

She explained to him how she could get him pardoned if in return he would help her find Fenrir. Reluctantly he agreed. At first he said he wouldn't do so, he wouldn't help and give away his comrades, but on the other hand he had never liked the wolf and saw an opportunity to redeem himself.

Hermione took him to a nearby town where she had booked a hotel. They had separate rooms, and after having a joined dinner she watched him go to clean up. She had wondered if she had done the right thing. The talk during dinner was mostly reminiscing and asking each other how they were doing. She had thanked him several times for helping her and Harry and Ron get away, he had shoved it aside as being nothing.

She had told him about her engagement with Ron, but had lacked a smile there. In turn she learnt that Scabior during the last days of the war had snatched a young girl and had a son with her.

Hermione wasn't sure if the disappointment had shown through.

They had made a plan. Hermione initially insisted on doing things alone, Scabior offered help and to travel together to Fenrir's hide-out. After she heard about his family she rejected the offer. She had her reasons.

And after the conversation they parted, each to their room.

More Background Reading/Facts:


The whole rp covering the prologue has been left out, instead I rewrote some of it shortly. It started with Hermione entering the forest and finding Scabior there. There were some inconsistencies due to time zones. The character of Scabior already had a rp partner by the time (Love you, angel :3) which is the character of Cassie from Push. Some parts of the story will be taken from the rp, others will be perfectly improvised by me.

Scabior & Cassie: The 13 year old Push character played by Dakota Fanning was snatched by Scabior when he happened to see her in a muggle town. He kidnapped her and kept her much like a prisoner in his tent back at the camp. When it was discovered he had fallen for a muggle the Dark Lord sent his men after Scabior and his family. More on this will become clear in the tale, because nothing is as simple as it looks.

Scabior & Hermione: Scabior and Hermione shared a history in Facebook rp, in which Scabior snatched her and kept her in his tent, pretty much like he did to Cassie later on. Only, he let Hermione go, knowing she and the two boys had a goal to achieve from which he would benefit as well. Scabior in this version might be a selfish prick, but his selfishness sometimes makes him look kind. In this case it was to end the war before the Dark Lord would find out about his crush for the mudblood Hermione.

Fenrir's Hide-out: Fenrir and Scabior are both leaders of snatchers in this story. Whereas Fenrir holds his own pack of wolves, Scabior is a more democratically chosen leader. His team knows he always brings in the most gold and follow his orders with respect, whereas Fenrir's team fear the wolf. They both worked together for a while, but tease each other at every possible given chance.


AU: I hope you enjoyed the prologue and that it gives you an idea of what to expect. I will add Background info at the end of each upload/chapter. I realised I have a few stories which never ended, also based on rp but just the rp taken on its own. I find it a pity and will consider to improvise them to an ending, though the story about Raven will remain unfinished as it is now, I don't want to fabricate bits to it. If you like review, if not, don't ;D If you're interested in rp and joining you can always pm me. Hope you will like this tale ^_^
