She was the most wanted girl in school. Sirius was the most wanted boy in school. Anyone would think they'd be the perfect couple, but here's the problem in that, they hate each other. Eleanor Delacour comes from a wealthy family in France, half veela and half witch. She chose Hogwarts over Beauxbatons and became friends with muggle born, Lily Evans, right away. Now it's 5th year and things are changing for Eleanor. She is turning 16, an important age for a veela. 16 is the year when you start looking for your soul mate. The only problem in that is that Eleanor's soul mate is her enemy, Sirius Black. How will her story turn out?
Eleanor stood nervous, waiting for her friend to arrive. "What got you so nervous, Delacour?" Eleanor turned sharply and glared at Sirius Black. Eleanor Delacour was born half veela and this meant that every single guy at school was attracted to her. She was the most wanted girl at school and Sirius Black happened to be the most wanted guy at school. Everyone wanted and expected them to get together, but the thing is they hate each other.
From the first day of school, Sirius kept flirting with her and annoying with until finally she burned him with her veela fire. The both of them have been enemies ever since. It doesn't help that her best friend Lily Evans hates Sirius and his friends too. This is what has been making Eleanor nervous. Today she would be 16 at the stroke of midnight. It would be then that she'd be able to see who her soul mate is. Veelas are born with having one man they're supposed to be with. At the age 16 they are given the ability to see who their mate is. Eleanor has been worrying about who her mate would be for months now and she has been freaking out over seeing her enemy since a few months ago. The idea that he could be her mate got into her mind awhile ago and she has been freaked out ever since.
"Hello, earth to Veela." Eleanor's eyes narrowed at Sirius, who wore a cocky smirk and had his hand waving in front of her face. "What did you suddenly have a mental breakdown?" This got him a burn on his wrist. "Ow!"
"Shut up, Black." Eleanor growled as she stared at the man before her. He was gorgeous. Black curly hair that was almost to his shoulders, and stormy grey eyes. He was tall, muscular, and thin. There was a reason that he was known as the Hogwarts Heartbreaker. He defiantly was gorgeous to look at and Eleanor was almost positive that a man like him defiantly had a good size lower region. She never heard a woman complain after a night with him, so one could only figure he was good in the sack. Suddenly Eleanor felt heat go to her own lower region and her stomach become full of butterflies. If he wasn't so arrogant, cocky, and stuck up then maybe, just maybe Eleanor would be okay with him as her soul mate. Maybe that is.
"And there she goes into the world of- Ow!" Sirius yelped as he was once again burned.
"You're so annoying." She mumbled as she watch a man start over to her. He looked almost exactly like Sirius, but his hair was cut short and his eyes were more like steel than storm clouds. This man wasn't muscular, but too thin and lanky. He was in no way as attractive as Sirius was.
"Is my brother bothering you?" The man asked in a charming voice. From the corner of her eyes she could see Sirius usual cocky and amused smile become sour and his eyes narrowed into a glare.
"What do you want, Regulus?" Sirius snarled.
"I believe I was talking to the lady, not some blood traitor such as yourself." He turned back and smiled at her with the same annoying and charming smile. "I'm Regulus Black, and you my dear?" He asked sweetly.
"Not interested, so shove off, Regulus." Sirius growled.
"Again, I'm asking her not you, Sirius." Regulus said as he shot a glare at Sirius. Eleanor just found the two annoying.
"I'm Eleanor now will you both just leave me alone, I'm waiting for Lily." Eleanor said with annoyance clear in her voice. Regulus looked at her in disgust.
"The mudblood."
"Regulus I wouldn't-" The two black brothers said at the same time.
"She's a muggle born not a.. a... mudblood." Eleanor fumed. Sirius could practically see the steam coming from her ears. Before Regulus could do anything Eleanor slapped hard across the face with her burning touch. He cried out in pain, the Black parents seeing from a distant and heading over. Sirius' eyes widen in shock before seeing his parents.
"Get on the train now." He ordered.
"Excuse me-
"Eleanor now!" Sirius yelled at her before forcing her on the train. He hopped on and shoved her into a near by compartment. He locked it with every spell he knew and pressed his ear to the door listening.
"What the hell do you think you are doing? You can't just-
"Eleanor, shut up!" Sirius snapped at her and listened harder. Eleanor was both angry and shock. Sirius never touched her or called her by her name. If Eleanor was to think about it Sirius was a bit of a gentleman when it came to touching because if she was anyone else he'd have his hands all over her, but he never did that to her.
Eleanor waited for a good ten minutes before sighing. "Sirius, what is wrong with you now?" Sirius backed away from the door and turned to her sharply.
"What the hell were you thinking? Slapping my brother out in the open like that." Eleanor frowned.
"From where I was standing I didn't think you liked your brother." She told him coolly.
"I don't! But my parents saw you slap him." She rolled her eyes.
"So?"
"So if they had got to you they would have used every fucken unforgivable curse they knew because of what you did. No one slaps a royal member from the house of Black. You're lucky I pulled you out of there when I did. You would have been dead if I didn't." He told her, causing her to go silent with shock.
"Why?" Sirius eyebrows furrowed.
"What?" He asked. "Why what?"
"Why help me? You hate me." Sirius sighed and looked at her. "Don't you..."
"Eleanor, maybe you shouldn't judge someone based on first impressions. I always do awful first impressions. Maybe you should try and get to know me before saying what I feel. I don't hate you and if I did do you really think I'd just save your life like that?" Her eyes fell to the floor. "There's more to me than just from what people see. Maybe you should try to get to know me first." He told her before unlocking the door. Before he could walk out the train started moving and Eleanor was thrown into Sirius. Sirius tumbled out of the compartment with Eleanor right above him. Her hair swarmed him as their noses touched each others. They were so close to each other that if he just moved wrong they'd be kissing.
"Well... we found them. Maybe we should just leave the two be, huh Moony?"
"Ellie what the hell are you doing?" The two looked over and saw their friends staring down at them. Lily was fuming, James had a cocky grin on his face, Moony was looking everywhere but at the two, and Peter was eyeing them as if he was waiting for porn. Eleanor scrambled off Sirius and gave Peter a disgusted look. James held a hand out and helped Sirius stand.
"We saw your parents. They looked absolutely livid." James told Sirius, who winced.
"Yeah... that was her fault." Sirius told them as he pointed at Eleanor.
"My fault! Your brother is as big of a pig as you are!" She yelled at him. Sirius glared at her. All the nicey nicey now replaced with hatred once again.
"Wow, wait what?" James questioned. "What exactly did Delacour do?"
"Slapped Regulus with her fire touch." Sirius told them causing them to burst into laughter.
"Oh I would pay money to see that. Did he cry?" James asked, causing a small smirk to come onto Sirius' face.
"Close, but nope." James frowned.
"Pity."
"Are you okay, Ellie?" Lily asked, gone from angry to concern.
"Fine." She spat. "Let's just go." She pulled Lily down the hall and away from the marauders. Once safe in their compartment, Lily turned to Eleanor.
"You're going to be 16. You might want to be careful with who you socialize. Your mate get the wrong impression." Eleanor frowned.
"Lily, I'm not happy about this."
"What? Why not? You get a soul mate at midnight. How romantic." Eleanor sighed. Lily was always the romantic one, while Eleanor was the rational one, surprisingly.
"Because... Because it could be a tool like Black." Lily frowned.
"Don't jinx yourself."
"Lily." Lily simply shrugged.
"All I'm saying is don't jinx yourself. You could easily have Remus as a mate." Eleanor made a face. "What he's the best out of the three of them." Suddenly Eleanor went pale.
"What if Peter is my mate."
"Ew!" The girls squealed. Peter always gave Eleanor the creeps and she didn't get creeped out easily.
"I get why Remus and James, but why Peter. How does he become Sirius' friend?" Lily shrugged.
"Who knows. Maybe he knows something we don't."
"Well I don't want to know. I still think Peter sneaks into the girl's locker room to watch us change." Eleanor said as she shivered. She's a chaser on the gryffindor team with James and Sirius. Sirius is beater and James is chaser like her.
"Ew." Lily said. "Look, just stay far from him okay." Eleanor laughed.
"Plan on it. But if you see red sparks come to them because it means Peter is after me." Both girls laughed and for the rest of the train ride Eleanor begins to stop worrying about her soul mate. They girls talked the entire time about the marauders and making fun of them. They also talked about the new classes and first years, but as the train arrived at the station, dread begins to fill Eleanor again.
"Relax, Ellie. Everything will work out how it should. Remember your soul mate was made for you before you were even born. You are meant to be together, so don't worry who it is. If it's Black... well then just go with it because in the end you know you'll be happy with your soul mate." Eleanor just sighed. Lily couldn't understand the stress that this 'gift' gave her, so she just let the subject drop and started off the train. New year new stresses.
