Hermione's POV
A new year, today I return to my real home, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The time over the summer I spend with my family always leaves me thinking, everything is so different between us. This all started my first year, the summer I came back. My parents were so interested but so out of the loop, half of what I said went straight over their heads but I eventually got over that. That's when I started spending most of my summers at Ron's. Harry would always join us, when he got away from his Aunt and Uncle and, his disgustingly sexist pig of a cousin, Dudley.
Last year being so eventful with the DA, Sirius's death, and everything that happened at the ministry, we had a guard, well actually Harry had a guard but since we were the "Golden Trio" it was for all three of us, like we needed it though, we've been through more than most of the Auror's so I don't see why we need them, oh well.
When I got to the Weasley's I found out something that made Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, and me, completely annoyed, Bill is getting married…to none other than little miss Veela, Fleur Delacour, bleh. We all hated her after the TriWizard tournament fiasco, all that is except Ron and Harry, I swear those boys have way, WAY to many hormones for their own good.
After awhile Fleur noticed how we acted when she was around the guys, and assured us that in fact she was only "half" Veela. When she said that I, acting completely like myself, started to research what it meant to be a half Veela. Now I know more about it that Fleur even does, and unfortunately we cant blame her anymore because she has no control what-so-ever over the fact of overly hormonal boys falling at her feet, and from what I found the only one who is doing anywhere near well at resisting is Harry, Ron is well lets just say he is a lost cause.
Right now we are coming to the train station, and the whole drive there I have been starring out the window, watching the scenery pass by, completely ignoring Harry's and Ron's attempts to get me to talk to them. Finally as we get into the station and are walking up to the invisible entryway to Platform 9 ¾, I pull myself out of my revere to talk to everyone, because soon I will have to leave them to go to the Head's compartment to get ready for the prefects meeting, which both Harry (who got his badge this year, as well as his captains badge from last year) and Ron (still prefect from last year) will be attending later.
"…keeper again?" Ron finished asking Harry as I started paying attention.
"Yeah, you were on the team last year so there's no point trying out new keepers when we already have the best on it," Harry assured Ron of whatever he was asking.
Oh Quiditch of course, Ron must be asking Harry if he is still on the team, Ron never has any self confidence being the friend of the great Harry Potter, I sighed and continued my thought looking around the platform, waiting for them to finish talking about Quiditch, the three of us are each know for something but because he's to busy being jealous of Harry for something he didn't want we are know as the Golden Trio, Harry being the boy who lived, me being the smartest witch of the century, and Ron the poor, blood traitor. When he has helped as much as any of us, maybe this year… my thoughts trailed off as I spotted Malfoy wearing the Head Boys badge, no way the ferret is Head Boy, how?… wait a second he looks different…uh oh I know those changes…slightly paler hair now un-gelled and down to his ears…taller…attracting more girls eyes…barely noticeable aura around him…frick he's come into his heritage of his family…he's a half Veela, and by the look of him he's only been like that for about a week. I'll have to talk to him and see how much he knows about it, because from the look of him he is about to start having to look for his mate and he doesn't look like he knows it yet. I quickly snapped my eyes back, thinking, it's a good thing its me he's sharring a dorm with instead of one of his fans because at least it wont effect me, after this thought I noticed Harry and Ron had stopped talking about Quiditch and had noticed who was Head Boy too.
"…with Malfoy of all people!" Ron finished whatever he was saying.
"Yeah we'll have to watch him, hey Hermione if Malfoy so much as looks at you the wrong way, tell us and we'll make sure he can never look at anything again, ok?" Harry asked noticing I was paying attention again.
"I don't think you'll have t worry about that, if he does something I don't like I do have a wand and a couple spells I've been meaning to try out from our DADA book," I said thinking that yes I might need those.
"Ha-ha yea that's our Hermione," Ron said chuckling.
"I'd hate to be on your bad side 'Mione," Harry said using my least favourite nickname, knowing it would bug me, and trying not to laugh at my expression.
"You might if you keep calling me that," I said and both of them broke out laughing, and soon I joined them.
Just then the announcer, well announced, "15 minutes till boarding, Heads please make your way to you compartement to plane the prefect meeting, thank you."
"Ok guys well I'll see you at the meeting," I said starting to make my way to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to say good bye.
"See ya 'Mione," Harry said, still chuckling.
"Later 'Mione," Ron said, imitating Harry to annoy me too.
I just shook my head as I walked over to say good bye to Ron's parents and the others that came with us.
Mrs. Weasley came running up to me and brought me into a hug so hard I couldn't breath.
"Mrs…Weasley…can't…breath…" I managed to get out.
"Sorry dear I'm just going to miss you all sooo much," she said letting go of me.
"I'll miss you all two Mrs. Weasley," I said then walked over to Mr. Weasley and hugged him, " Bye Mr. Weasley see you at the end of the year."
"Bye Hermione, you must owl me and explain the workings of the ipod," he said hugging me back.
"Alright," I said, then turning to Tonks and Remus, and giving them both a hug, "See you two."
"Have fun Hermione," Tonks said changing her appearance again to long pink hair from brown.
"Be careful Hermione, Voldemort is still out there and hes after you three," he said always being the serious one out of the two.
"I promise," and with that I walked away to the train.
I made my way down the train coming to the door that said HEADS, and walked in. Malfoy was already sitting there, looking bored as usual, but when I walked in he replaced the bored look with a smirk.
"I should've know you would be Head Girl, one of the Golden Trio had to be," he said in his usual drawl.
I decided to skip his "pleasantries" and cut to the chase, "I know what you are now."
"What?" he said, the smirk slipping off his face, confusion replacing it.
"You're a half Veela," I said simply.
"How did you know?" he asked his expression turning into a smirk again.
"I read up on them during the summer I wanted to know more about Fleur," I said, telling him more than I needed to.
"Oh yeah I heard that she and the older Weasel, I think his name was Bob, are getting married, just think of how ugly their children will be, she's a disgrace marrying the blood traitor" he said, of course adding an insult.
I just rolled my eyes at him and continued, "and by the looks of it you come into you heritage about a week ago, have you found out who your mate is yet?"
"My mate?" he asked again his expression slipping into confusion.
"Your parents didn't tell you much did they?" I asked anticipating the answer.
"No, but does that matter?" he asked, his expression turning into one of interest and…a tiny bit of panic maybe?
"Yes very much so, ok, exactly what day did you ascend?" I asked, keeping my expression neutral.
"Ummmm…a week ago today, why?" he asked looking slightly more in control.
"Because you have exactly 3 months from today to; 1. Find out who your mate is 2. Tell your mate 3. Use the first marking on them 4. Use the second marking on them 5. Get them to fall in love with you," I told him, watching the panic ride on his face.
"I have to do all of that in THREE months?" he asked, rather calmly.
"Yes," I answered, still keeping my expression the same, then noticed that I was still standing at the door.
"Well come in here and sit, I want to know more," Malfoy said gesturing towards the empty seat across from him, the smirk completely leaving his face, replaced by the interest of learning.
I complied, sitting down, readying myself to start explaining, "What do you want to know first?"
"Why do I need a mate, how is she chosen, how will I know who it is, do I get special powers, will I have another form like normal Veela?" he asked instantly.
"Slow down we have the whole train ride, but soon we will need to go to the prefects meeting, so for now I will just tell you how to find your mate so you can start looking," I said and his expression turned expectant.
"Go on," he prompted after I paused.
"Ok, have you been getting dreams about a scent that's irresistible?" I asked and after his nod, continued, "Ok, well close your eyes and imagine that smell."
He closed his eyes but asked, "How is this going to help?"
"Because since today is exactly a week from you ascend your senses have all been heightened, and by doing so now when you see her you will know because of the scent and she will have a slight glow around her that only you can see, sort of like an aura," I explained then going silent as his expression turned pensive.
Draco's POV
First I get told I am a half Veela by my parents, then I ascend (which let me tell you is painful), then I get on the train and Granger shows up telling me she knows about my ascending. Then I find out I have a freaking MATE.
Granger just finished explaining how she knows and answered a few questions and now I have to figure out who my mate is.
"Ok have you been getting dreams about a scent that's irresistible?" she asks, with that damn neutral expression, after I nod she continues, "Ok, well close your eyes and imagine that smell."
I comply but feel the need to ask anyway, "How is this going to help?"
"Because since today is exactly a week from you ascend your senses have all been heightened, and by doing so now when you see her you will know because of the scent and she will have a slight glow around her that only you can see, sort of like an aura," she quickly explained then went silent and I started to concentrate on the smell that has been haunting my dreams for almost a week.
It smells like vanilla and lavenders mixed with berries of some sort. I concentrate harder and feel the presence build till I could feel that somewhere on the train the smell was coming from, I started to feel my Veela side become elated with the news of its, our, my, mate being a student at Hogwarts and not being able to wait to know who it is. I concentrated more and let the presence start to become more centred and feel closer. The presence was closer than I had ever imagined and I started to feel excited with my Veela side. Then it came to a stop and I knew who is was.
My mate is…
