Chapter 1 -Of perfumes and streams-
Two figures dashed through the dark forest, the dim light from the moon above coming and going like patchwork throughout the leaves. A hand flew over the forerunners shoulder, pointing a long slender wand, and a blast erupted before her pursuer. Though the curse made a sizable hole in the ground, the man barely lost a step as he ran straight threw the smoke and earth, still gaining.
Hermione didn’t look back to see if shed hit him but could still make out the quick foot falls that were out of step with her own. Her chest burned as she willed her legs to carry her faster before throwing another haphazard hex over her shoulder. She was such an idiot. How could she have stepped out of the barrier? And just moments after having seen the Snatchers carrying those poor people threw the forest. Her heart pounded all the heavier as she remembered the tall dark man stopping within inches of her.

He was able to smell her. All of the wards she had put up to keep them safe…and he could smell her! She didn’t breath, she couldn’t. “Wha’s tha’ smell?” Came his deeply accented voice as he outstretched his hand slightly, inhaling deeply. Every muscle in her body tensed as though if she moved, her wards would be broken and he’d see her with those eyes that already seemed to, even as she knew they couldn’t.
She was only too thankful when one of the other Snatchers dropped the body he’d been holding and pulled the mans steel grey eyes away from where they’d been staring right threw her. She didn’t breath until the three men were on their way from the campsite and she swayed as she inhaled shakily.
“Good to know your enchantments work. ” She’d nearly jumped out of her own skin at her friends words as he came up behind her. Tearing her eyes way from the retreating backs of the Snatchers, she looked to the bespectacled boy beside her. She tried to suppress a shudder but when she failed she brought up her hands to rub the goose flesh that had risen on her arms.
“He could smell it….my perfume.” She looked back to find that the men had disappeared, swallowed by the darkening forest. She let out a shaky breath before the two walked back up the hill towards the tent. She slowed before they reached it and Hermione looked to the far end of the small clearing where Ron had mentioned he’d spotted a stream. She looked to Harry and motioned in that direction with a slight nod of her head.
“I’m going to wash up. Its probably better if I get rid of the smell.” Harry hesitated a moment before nodding back to his friend. “Be careful, the could still be near by.” he warned before ducking into the tent.
She kneeled when she reached the waters edge and untied the pink scarf from around her neck, shoving it into her pocket, before dipping her hands in the cool clear water. She moved her hair to the side and rinsed off her neck, the icy water calming her slightly as it perked her out of her panicked daze. She sighed and closed her eyes. Tilting her head upwards towards the night sky, she took a steadying breath, and began to count backwards from ten like her father taught her to do when she got over excited. She’d just urged her heart to slow down when a chilling voice made it jump back into her throat.
“ ’Ello there lovely.” Hermione whipped her head around to find the Snatcher leaning casually against a nearby tree, a deceptively pleasant grin on his dark features. “I knew I’d smelt somethin’ yummy.” The Snatchers eyes roved over her unabashed, as he watched her scramble to her feet and reached for her wand.
“Aw now why you ‘avta be like that?” He said in a falsely hurt tone shaking the hand at his hip and waving a wand she hadn’t noticed he‘d been holding. The sight made her freeze with her hand in her pocket, fingers wrapped, white knuckled, around her wand. His smile only grew though as he pushed calmly from the tree and took a few steps towards her. “Jus’ wanted to ‘ave a bit of a chat.” he said in a friendly tone. “Now why don’cha put tha’ down before som’et gets hurt, shall we?”
Hermione hesitated only a moment before seeming to make up her mind. Turning on her heels she darted through the small stream and into the trees...away from the camp….and away from the two people she’d never let the Snatchers get to.
