Full Summary: Harry Potter knew this was karma, it had to be. That had to be the only explanation for being paired up with Draco Malfoy in Potions. However, that wasn't the problem, the problem is that one itsy bitsy little mistake later and Malfoy's recessive veela genes became dominant and turned him into a dangerous creature that can manipulate fire. So now Harry, being the only one Malfoy is comfortable with, has to stay with him all the time. This was more then unfair, this was fate's way of saying, "I hate you. Do a god a favor and die."

Veela Care101: Distractions

Tip 1- Veela, while good at most subjects, can be distracted from noticing what they are doing.

Harry Potter knew something was going to happen today. It was only natural, he knew in his rather short but eventful existence that all good things that happened to him was followed by something bad. It was like a universal law.

So far his day had been good, he made it to breakfast early (which was good because Ron didn't eat everything yet), he finished all of is homework in record time, and he thought he had a breakthrough with his side-along project – the match-making of Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley (Ron's sister Ginny was his sidekick in the operation.)

He knew it had to end though. It was only a matter of time.

"Harry, you should eat something. We have potions with the Slytherins next and you have to have energy to do the potion. You know Snape already hates you, best not get him even more angry," Hermione said as she sat down next to him.

With a scoff Ron settled down on his other side, "Please 'Mione, he'll need the energy to deal with the Slytherins. Bloody snakes they are," he whispered the last part, "anyway, it's just not fair that potions is the first class in the bloody morning."

She tutted disapprovingly and reached for the toast, "Can you believe it? We're making heritage potions, that's supposed to be really advanced material. I wonder why Snape is letting us make those."

"He's probably hoping some Gryffindor would make it explode so he could take away points," Harry explained – "like Neville" was not spoken out loud. "And I think he's going to set us up in pairs, you know, Slytherin to Gryffindor. That way either a Slytherin will slip something in the potion and make it seem like our fault or they'll make sure nothing big happens. Like blowing up the entire classroom and everyone in it."

He blinked at the incredulous looks from his best mates, "I'm not that oblivious. It's actually pretty obvious when you think about that. Snape always pairs us up when we're either doing something complex or it's a potion that the Slytherins can sabotage safely without killing anyone."

Yeah, he was still getting those looks. Even Hermione hadn't realized that pattern (of course she usually paid more attention to the potion then the seating pattern.)

He just shrugged and reached for a platter of bacon.


The potions classroom was as dark and gloomy as ever. Everyone filed in and took a seat and whispered softly to their friends. The door slammed open and the quiet dangerous voice of the potions professor Severus Snape entered the room, "We are doing Heritage potions today. Split up and get into pairs. Granger and Parkinson, Weasley and Zabini, Crabbe and Goyle, Longbottom and Nott, Potter and Malfoy..." The list went on and on, most Gryffindors paired with Slytherins.

Ron gave Harry a sympathetic glance and grimaced as he moved to stand by Blaise Zabini.

Harry smiled weakly and walked to his station, trying to ignore Malfoy to the best of his abilities.

Draco Malfoy almost snarled when he saw Harry trying to ignore him. He was not supposed to be ignored by anyone and definitely Harry. Draco didn't know why, but something inside him just purred when near Harry. "You go get the ingredients. I'll do the potion."

He inwardly winced as Harry didn't even look at him as he walked by before he shook himself out of it.

"Give me the belladona extract."

Lost in his thoughts Harry didn't notice when he grabbed the chimera blood.

Draco added it to the potion and stirred a few times, "What the-"

Smoke was pouring out of the cauldron and the potion was glowing purple were it was supposed to be black. Suddenly the whole thing tipped over when Neville accidentally pushed it and drenched Draco. Everything went black to him and the last thing he saw was someone with raven hair bending over him.

What they didn't know was that the potion was now a revealer that forcedly activated all magical creature blood in the drinker, whether dominant or not. And whether he wanted it or not, the previously pure-blood wizard Draco Malfoy was now a veela.

Author's Notes

Hi! This is actually my first fanfic on and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't flame. Constructive criticism is encouraged though. I don't really think this will be very popular though, seeing as it's my first.

Anyway, I thought of this because every DMHP author needs to have a veela fic. I thought I'd change mine a bit though, in every other veela fic I've read (which is quite a lot) Draco's blood is dominant and already active or about to be. So in my fic I decided to make his creature blood recessive and have a potion make it dominant.

I got the some of the story idea from Because I Can's "Cat Nip" (mostly the potions part), you guys should check it out – very interesting (shameless advertising here to those who will actually read this.)

Muah! Luv you all!!
