Ginny didn't know what to think. She had just found out that her great-great grandmother on her mothers side was a veela. It had all started that fine Saturday morning at breakfast when a letter arrived for her. Thinking that it was from her parents or on of her brothers wishing her a happy birthday, she opened it. Writing that she didn't recognize was on the page. It was addressed to her in a fancy script and said so many things that she didn't think that she could deal with.
Ginerva,
I know that you are wondering who this letter is from and that will come in time. I will be passed away by the time that you get this letter and for that I am very sorry. You are also probably wondering why you are getting a letter on your seventeenth birthday from someone that you have never met. I grew up in a time where there was no war, only peace and love. For me, finding my one true mate was easy because there were no hard feelings between the houses at school. Now I know you are wondering who I am. My name is Ginerva Lucian, a descendent of Salazar Slytherin. That means that you as well are a descendent of on of the greatest men in the history of magic. I am your great-great grandmother.
The reason that I am sending you this letter is to inform you that you are a veela. I don't believe that your mother knows, since it is not passed down to everyone, so don't be surprised to find that she doesn't know anything on the matter. Being a veela can be one of the most wonderful things in that world, but it can also be one of the hardest. I don't know if you know much on the subject, but let me inform you anyway. Veelas are beautiful creatures with more power than you can ever think of. You will notice that it is easier to do and to learn spells, cast wandless magic and many other things that not even I know. You will be stronger, have more energy, and a very strong sexual drive. This power also comes at a terrible cost. Veelas need mates. Another person that is so right for you that you couldn't think of every being with anyone else in the world. The downside to this is that both partners get extremely jealous at first, but learn to live with it in time.
Let me give you a little insight before all of this happens to you. At the exact time of your birth, you will feel a pull towards your mate. The stronger the pull is, the closer your mate is to you. I know you are thinking that it could be someone that you hate, but remember, destiny chose the two of you to be together for a reason. Remember this: Love can change anything.
Female veelas go though their change on their seventeenth birthday, whereas the males go through their change at age eighteen. Most of the time, you will share the same birthday with each other so the pain of not being one with each other is so hard.
I know that you can get through this. I have faith in you, just like my mother had faith in me. I lived one hundred and fifty years with my mate before he died. And now, lying on my death bed, I know that even in death, we are still together. I will see him again one day, sooner rather than later as my health is. Do what you think is right Ginny. Trust what your heart tells you, not what everyone else thinks.
Be proud of who and what you are.
-Ginerva Lucian-
