Chapter 1
Draco's point of view
Pain unimaginable pain coursed through my body. I felt like I was being reshaped, my skin felt like it was stretching and my bones felt like they were growing. I screamed out hoping this pain would end. As the darkness descended I welcomed it with open arms.

"Draco...Draco...Wake up!" I woke up and I knew where my mom was before I had even seen her, I could hear her breathing like she was sitting next to me but she was across the room. I could hear her sniff- she was crying. I tried to talk but my throat was raw.
"Don't bother talking, you have been screaming all day. I couldn't get you to stop..." She broke off in sniffles, "You need to know something Draco and I think it's better that I tell you whilst you can't talk... Your a Veela. I am a full blooded Veela but your Father isn't. There was a chance that you would not be a Veela but the signs began to show and...well know you have transformed. You should not have the full extent of a Veela's powers but it is not impossible to get the full powers if you are half Veela. We have many books in the library which will be a lot more informative. But the minute that you can feel better you must read this book ok?" I nodded.
It was hard processing all of this information. I was a...Veela. Like the Veelas at the Quidditch World Cup. No I couldn't be. My restless body wanted to read all the books in the Library about Veela's but I was exhausted even though I had been...unconscious for hours. I fell back into an uneasy sleep dreaming of silver grey wings and a silhouette of a person, who whenever I tried to get close to them they appeared meters away from me.
I woke up with the sunlight streaming through the windows onto my face. I felt much better, I really had needed to sleep. Suddenly, I had this strange feeling like someone was watching me. I heard a floor board creak from the corner of my room. I then heard the harsh breaths of a male.
"Blaise, take that dillusionment charm off right now!."
"Damn, your mom told me that you would have heightened senses and that you would be able to tell that I was in your room."
" It's a Veela thing."
"Have you read about them yet."
"Not yet. Narcissa said that I should read that book," I gestured to the heavy volume on my desk, "as soon as I am able."
"Well, you better get busy reading then."
"Yeah, I guess so. I'll send Kyro to you as soon as I am done. He'll tell you where to meet me."
"Ok, see you tomorrow then."
"It won't take me that long to read this."
"I know but you will probably want to read it twice."
"Ok, see you tomorrow Zabini." I watched as he left my room. It wasn't as painful as I thought getting up would be. I sat at my desk and began to read. It was interesting to say the least. I froze when I got to a certain chapter- It was named Mating. I continued to read the chapter:
Once a Veela has transformed he/she will have a year to find their mate and mark them. However if he/she do not find or mark their mate within the year by their next birthday they will slowly waste away and die a very painful death.
As well as this, if the Veela marks his mate without her consent then a bond of hatred will form and both mate and Veela will die as the hate between them would be so strong that neither would be able to bear the strain on their relationship.
Once the Veela finds his mate he will become angry and possessive. If a man were to touch her or look at her the Veela could become enraged. (Find ways to control this on Page 128). If a Veela's mate were to be harmed the Veela can lawfully kill the person who harmed his/her mate. Veela's have transformative properties. When they feel their mate is in danger some Veela's produce wings and can shoot bolts of lightning fire from their hands.
I was shocked. My mate could be halfway across the world and if I never found my mate then I would die. And that would not be good for Narcissa. She had already lost Lucius to Azkaban and the Dementors. I don't think she could handle losing me too. I continued to read on. What I read was along the lines of what Narcissa had told me about Veela's and how I might not possess all the powers of a full-blooded Veela (In fact it mentioned that point in almost every chapter, it was like they didn't want me to forget that) but all the rest of it was brand new. Especially the properties of a Veela.
Properties of a Veela
Once Veelas undergo transformation, they will have to deal with a few things;
1)Heightened senses: Veela's after undergoing transformation will have better senses. They will be able to hear things from farther away, as well as having perfect eyesight. They will also be able to sense if there is danger.
2)Emotional Outbursts: Once a Veela has just transformed they won't be accustomed to their senses and their strong need to find their mate so it is normal for them to have an occasional emotional outburst. They are more frequent once the mate has been found as they will become angry and jealous at any attention their mate receives.
3)The ability to detect their mate if they are close by: They will be able to smell the scent of their mate if they are in the same building. Many Veela's have an emotional outburst if they can sense their mate in the same room (It can drive a Veela insane of they are towards the end of the year and their mates scent can be overwhelming if they do not know who they are) but sensing your Veela does not give you the ability to know who it is. It only tells you that you are nearby.
4)Sensing mates emotions: Once a Veela has found their mate they will be able to sense their emotions. They will be able to sense their emotions more clearly the closer their mate is. The further away their mate is the more faint their emotions will be.
I was shocked. I am a Veela and I can't stop that. I have to find my mate in a year and I don't even know who it could be. This could be really disastrous, but not as disastrous if Lucius was able to form a coherent thought. I didn't feel bad that my Father had received the kiss, he had put me and Narcissa through hell. He deserved it. The mark on my left arm and the haunting screams that never left me were enough to attest to that. I would find my mate, I had to.
I grabbed Kyro from the Owlery and sent a letter to Blaise telling him I would meet him at his house. We definitely needed to talk about my predicament.
