Authors Note: Hey guys this is my new story Veela hell of a week. Corny title I know. But it kinda fits. I just made a play of people saying "Its been a hell of a week." I hope you like it. All mistakes in grammar, spelling, and 'HP worldness' is all mine since i haven't got round to getting this story beta'd. By the way I am using June 5th as Draco's Birthday and Hermione, who is already 17, in September 19th.
Please read it and review and enjoy.
Prologue: Sunday Evening
It was a mild Sunday evening one week and daybefore Draco's 17th birthday. The June heat was getting to all students and everyone was thankful when the temperature dropped in the evening.N.E.W.Ts had been taken at the end of May so now 7th Year students had the whole 2 months to relax. However Draco Malfoy was not relaxing.
"I'm a veela! Why the hell did that gene bypass you father and curse me instead? And why haven't you told me about this earlier?" Draco was mad. In fact he was past mad and onto spitting fire as he pace up and down Professor Dumbledore's office.
Earlier that evening Draco had been called upon by the headmaster who said he had something to discuss with him. When Draco had asked if it had anything to do with Head duties, the response was a negative. He had puzzled over the strange request for the whole day trying to think of what could be of any importance now that school was almost over. When the time had come to meet with the Headmaster, he had approached aprehensively. Once the door opened he was shocked. Sitting in the chair opposite Dumbledore was Lucius Malfoy, his Father. Rather than showing his surprise he had strode in confidently and sat in the chair next to his father.
Both adults had proceeded to tell him information about himself, that was so extraordinary that even Draco failed to keep an indifferent face. But finding out he was a part veela could do that to a person. What angered Draco the most was that his parents had kept it a secret for over a year. But it also aggrevated him that he hadn't picked up on the signs. But then again he wasn't looking for any. Though his father had apologised for keeping it a secret and Dumbledore had thought it best it didn't stop Draco from taking his anger out on them.
"Mr Malfoy, Draco. I know you are reasonably upset but time is now of the essence. Though I doubt you will be affected fully by the veela instinct as you only have a small amount of veela blood in you so you should be able to control yourself. Am I correct in believing your 17th birthday is next week?" Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts very rarely let anything faze him. He was currently enjoying the interaction between father and son.
In the headmaster's office, which held many secrets, Lucius Malfoy had revealed a new development. Lucius, who was an ex-death-eater, had just told Draco that he had a veela inheritance. The revelation had come as a shock for the younger Malfoy who was still having trouble accepting it. Lucius had turned up unexpectedly in Dumbledore's office demanding to see his son with a matter that was life or death. After an inquisition it was discovered that Draco did actually carry the veela blood that had been passed down by his ancestors.
Few facts were known about veelas but the ones Draco did know weren't too pleasing.
'Veelas are extremely rare creatures since they began dying out in the 1400s. Therefore not much is known about them.
A veela is known to have one lifetime mate who they consummate with by the time they are 17. A veela's mate is decided by the veela's instinct to find the perfect match. The veela then has to complete a 3 stage joining. The first is marking, then the acceptance and then the actual sex ritual. Should the veela not meet it's mate in time then the veela will die of heartbreak.
A veela is only as happy as their mate so they do their ultimate best to please their love. They will do anything to keep them healthy and happy as their life is tied in to that of their mate.
Before the mating the veela tend to show their more primitive instincts. These will include sniffing their mate, possessive behaviour and anger to any of the mate's opposite sex near them. The veela will try absolutely anything to attract their mate.'
"My birthday is next Monday Sir. That means I have a whole week starting tomorrow morning to convince my mate she is the love of my life and to let me have sex with her before Sunday Midnight." Draco replied monotonously. Draco already felt rejected. If his thoughts were accurate, he already had a fair idea of who his mate actually was. He was dreading the next question. If the signs were right, then he would definitely be in for a challenge. There was no way he could have her marked within a week and mated by the end. It was almost impossible. He would rather take on Voldermort again.
"Draco, Son do you know who your mate is? It would help." His father queried.
"Hermione Granger. "
