The terrified young woman scrambled towards the front doors, dropping her wand as she runs outside of the castle. Pushing the front gate open she ran into the forest. She hasn't been this scared of the beast since the first time she met him. Hermione ran through the dark forest, her legs were killing her as they weren't fully healed and the strong blizzard made it quite difficult to move and see. Still, she kept moving since the thing she feared the most at the moment was behind. As the storm grew stronger, howls could be heard close behind.
A group of wolves ran into a clearing and began catching up to her, surrounding by all sides. Hermione picked up a nearby stick and tired to fight them off. She manage to strike two of them, but when she tried to attack another one it grabbed it with its jaws and pulled it out off her hands. She backed up looking around quickly for a escape but found nothing. As one of the wolf was about to jump to make the kill, she closed her eyes tightly and waited for the end, which never came.
Hermione quickly opened her eyes and to her disbelief and complete shock she saw beast fighting off the wolves. Two wolves make a go for his ankles, the beast flung one of wolves to the ground as one of them rips his ankle. Beast picks him up and roars in his face as he throw him into a tree. Beast turned to Hermione and glared and roared at her"RUN!"
A largest wolf jumped and pinned beast to the ground, biting and clawing at his shoulder and chest, then made a go for his neck. Using the last of his strength beast pulled the wolf off of him and threw him against the tree and it limpid off. Severus violently and loudly roared at the few remaining wolves and they all took off running. Beast turned to look at Hermione a look of concern on his face, as his eyes closed and his body toppled to the cold hard ground.
Hermione stared in shock after what happened, after realization hit she quick made a go. She only made it a few feet, before she stopped and turned back to look at beast laying down in the snow. Quickly re-thinkig her decision she made her way back to his side.
