Chapter 5: New settings

Summary:

Hermione's world had been turned upside down, is it for the best or the worse?

Notes:

You know the drill, I own nothing but the ideas

The search returned negative, there was no trace of Hermione in the forest, Hagrid was sobbing in his corner as the rest of the staff was waiting for the Headmaster's solution, but the most alarming thing was the lack of concern from the girl's parents, which caused the deputy and head of the lion house to put the two and two together, the poor girl must have been under shock and ran into the forest for some privacy, it was then decided to hide the incident under the rug, The deputy was of course quite unhappy with the decision, but what choice did they have?

The storm had lasted for two long days, the bushy-haired girl named Hermione granger was dying with hunger and thirst as she curled up against a mossy tree, she might be a bright witch with a wand at her disposal but tiredness, sadness, and fear caused her mind to become addled, thinking was harder and harder till it became impossible, the lightning and thunder caused her to shriek in fear, robbing her of her sleep, so did the howls that seemed to get closer and closer till she fainted from overload, the last thing she saw was a black mass of fur with shining emerald eyes and an odd bolt-shaped scar on its forehead.

The black furry mass also known as Harry potter and some other titles that he never knew about was patrolling the area with his kin when they heard the sobbing of a human being which was odd as the humans never got this deep in the forest, he growled at his sand furred sister who took over the patrol, leaving the dark-furred wolf to examine the stranger.

He wasn't surprised that she fainted, she reeked of fear, sadness, and hopelessness, but there was something about her, something that reminded him of his youth when his father found him, so he did the same thing and Carried her with him back to the den, her delicate body slung on his broad back as he slowly walked back home as to not jostle her, she would cry in her sleep and was soon gripping his spiky fur like a lifeline.

The trek was a bit long and soon they reached the series of dens where the pack resided, wolves in their furry form and human form moved about in their daily business, barely paying attention to the Alpha's middle cub but soon froze at the scent of the human on his back, he snarled and snapped at them till he reached his Dam's den.

She shifted to her human form and reached for the brown-haired bitch slung across her cub's back and sniffed her in curiosity, the Dam then stripped her of the cold and dripping clothes and covered her in an old bear fur, waiting for her to rise as her old cub circled the den in agitation, clearly on edge.

The dam was not surprised when the younger bitch woke up dazed, scared and horrified at her nudity, eyes wide open as she crawled into a corner and attempted to cover herself.

Her cub soon barged in, clearly attuned to the bitch who yelled even harder at the sight of the towering beast but said beast approached her slowly and slowly shifted back into his human form, Hermione soon recognized him from the pictures in the deputy's office, she was looking at Harry James Potter, the boy who lived.
