Hello Beautiful

Chapter 10

.0.

There was no sound emanating from the woods that surrounded them. Hermione was starting to worry as she looked over at the sun setting on the multi-colored skyline. Here she was, trying to locate a werewolf who was hiding waiting to attack and about to fight half-dozen angry Snatchers who looked as if their immobilization was wearing off.

"I can't believe we didn't think of that bloody wolf!" Ron said with his wand pointed out in front of him.

Harry seemed to be the calmest out of the three of them; moving in a clockwise position checking for any signs of Greyback.

"Harry!" Hermione yelled as she saw Greyback running out of the bushes to the left of her dear friend at a break neck speed. The werewolf didn't seem to notice Ron or Hermione as he had his solely fixated on The Chosen One. However, Ron was the one who seemed to re-act the quickest and cast Petrificus Totalus on the deranged Death Eater. He fell to the floor with a sickening thud that seemed to make the earth beneath Hermione's feet quake under the werewolf's immense weight.

"Incarcerous!" Hermione said pointing her wand at Greyback and he was instantly bound by ropes. The three of them all dragged Greyback over to the rest of the group and looked at each other for a minute.

"We better get going before the spells wear off." Harry said.

"Wh – what about our things?" Hermione asked.

"Don't worry about it. Ron got it all sorted out. He was brilliant really." Harry continued.

"Really?" Hermione asked shocked.

"Again with the look of shock! Is it really that hard to believe that I can accomplish something?" Ron countered jokingly.

The two boys started to make their way to the edge of the lake in order to apparate and Hermione felt herself beginning to panic. Before she could stop herself, she blurted out some words that she regretted instantly.

"No! We can't leave. What about Scabior?"

Harry and Ron seemed to stop in mid-step and slowly turned back towards her. She couldn't stand to look them in the eyes at that moment; she was far too embarrassed. Hermione could feel her neck and face getting hot and was sure she was blushing.

"I – I. I only mean, what about the payment?" Hermione said tentatively.

"Payment? What payment?" asked Ron.

"The payment that he's been holding us captive for, Ronald. What else could I be possibly talking about?" Hermione argued.

"Well, let's see," Ron said walking back towards her, "you could be talking about the fact that you've been following that creep around for the past two days like a bloody puppy dog!" Ron yelled.

"H –How dare you! How dare you insinuate that there's something going on between me and some stupid Snatcher!"

"Then why did he bring you into the tent earlier? You're going to stand there and tell me that nothing happened! You two were in there over a half hour!"

I can't believe this is happening right now! Why can't he ever just leave things alone! Before she could voice her opinion, she felt a wand tip against her throat.

"You even move an inch, ginger, and your girlfriend is going to get slashed open." She heard Scabior say in her ear.

Hermione stood completely still as she heard a couple other Snatchers being released from their magical binding. Soon, they were once again surrounded by the men her friends had gone through so much trouble to take down. Ron began to struggle against them in an effort to escape but it was useless.

"What's wrong, ginger? You mad 'cause you wanted to be the first one to make her as wet as I did?" Scabior said to Ron.

Hermione could practically feel Scabior smirking as he said it; relishing in the anger that seemed to be radiating off of Ron. She looked over at Harry who seemed to have gone quietly without much resistance. He was still looking at Hermione quizzically and Hermione didn't like. I know that look. Harry is suspicious of me now! He really thinks there's something going on. I mean, what happened in the tent and those other times in the forest was only for payment. I didn't enjoy being felt up. That's when it hit her. I did like it! I'm a SLUT!

Hermione was grateful to see she was being led back into the tent by Scabior. She didn't think she had the strength or courage to face her friends tonight. Hermione began to feel excitement rush back into her body as she looked at the bed that she was about to lose her virginity only moments ago. The feeling soon faded as she felt Scabior direct her towards a beam that appeared to holding the tent up in the center and tied her to it. The Snatcher didn't even look her in the face as he turned around and disappeared behind the partition that separated the rooms. Great! Now, they're all mad at me!

A/N:

Long time, no see! I know it's been a quick minute since I've posted anything but I've been incredibly busy with work and the new semester at college starting back up this past week. From now on I should be able to post at least 1 to 2 fics a week.

FYI: Any updates about my fanfictions are going to be posted in my profile page. It's going to be in bold writing stating when I'm going to be able to load a new chapter.

This one was a little short compared to my other ones but I wanted this story to be reasonably long seeing as they only need to destroy the cup and they need to retrieve Ravenclaw's Diadem.

Let me know what you guys think of the new chapter! Have a safe three day weekend!
