Chapter 1
Hermione Granger had recently found out that she had been sent to the muggle Grangers for her protection, because she was the heir apparent to the Veela Nation. Ever since then she had been reading up on Veela. She read that she would come into her inheritance between the ages of 16 and 17 from there she would feel the need to find her mate. She also found out that there were two species of Veela. The northern Veela were known for their silver blonde hair and blue eyes for the girls and grey eyes for the males. They were mainly in northern Europe including France, England, and Ireland. Then there was the southern Veela who were olive or tanned skinned with chocolate or golden in eye color. They were mainly in the Mediterranean including Italy, Greece, and Spain. Females matured faster than their male counterparts. The only time a male gain his inheritance early is if their mate was nearby. Hermione knew from what she read that she was most likely Northern Veela. All she had to do was wait until her next birthday which was only 2 and a half weeks away.
Meanwhile, in another part of the United Kingdom there were four others who were getting ready to go back to Hogwarts for their 6th year. Blaise was 15 years old and was spending time with his best mate Draco Malfoy before heading back to school. The Zambinis and Malfoys had always been Veelas and knew they would come into their inheritance within the next year. Blaise was a southern Veela while Draco was a northern Veela. They had grown up knowing that once they came into their inheritance that they would feel the need to find their mate. Draco turned towards his Italian friend and fellow Slytherian House mate as he asked, "So, who do you think our mates will be?" Blaise looked at Draco and innocently shrugged, "Who knows mateā¦all I know is that they will be equal in intelligence." Draco nodded as he acknowledged his answer.
However, in yet another part on England two Gryffindors were preparing for their 6th year. Harry was spending time with the Weasleys at the Burrow. Harry didn't know that his mother had been a Veela and that his father had also been a half Veela. He had no one left to tell him about his family. He was sitting next to his best mate Ron and Ron's little sister Ginny. They had just got done swimming in their family swimming hole. They would be heading back to school the following day. On the other hand, Neville was talking to his Gran who was a Veela and was explaining to him that he would come into his inheritance within the next year. After hearing what to expect he thanked his Gran and kissed her on the cheek before heading to his room to pack for his trip back to school the next day.
The next day, it was time for the students to start their 6th year at Hogwarts. Hermione had turned 16 on June 29th and had come into her inheritance. Blaise was the next to turn 16 on July 4th. Draco turned 16 on July 21st. Neville turned 16 on July 30th and Harry on the 31st. They all boarded the Hogwarts Express after saying goodbye to family and guardians. Upon getting onto the train Hermione had sensed her mate was on the train. However, she had read that her mate or mates would seek her out once they came into their inheritance. Hermione had a small headache and decided to sit by herself in a compartment towards the front and read.
Meanwhile, in another part of the train Harry sat with Neville, Ron, Ginny, and Luna. Harry and Neville both had a headache and were trying to stay still to ease the pain. Ron, Ginny, and Luna watched on in concern, but knew that they better not move and bump into them for fear of making the ache worse. What they didn't know was that Draco and Blaise also both had a headache and had all their blinds shut in their compartment. They had asked their friends to leave so they could keep the volume down. After arriving at Hogsmead Station to get, onto the carriages, to the castle they boys headaches had eased off enough that they felt comfortable enough to get up and head to the carriages.
After arriving at the castle the students who were already sorted went to their house tables. Neville and Harry were about halfway down sitting beside each other with Ginny on the other side of Harry and Ron sitting across from him. Luna sat at the Ravenclaw table with her back to Neville and Harry. She was also Veela, but wouldn't be coming into it for another year or so. Draco and Blaise sat in the usual spot at the Slytherian table. During the sorting Harry asked his friends, "Hey, has anyone seen Mione?" The others then realized that they hadn't seen her at all that day and started to become concerned. Soon after the sorting was done Dumbledore did his beginning of school speech. It was the same thing like the years before, however, at the end Dumbledore started talking about Veela and everyone remembered Fleur the Beaubaxton's school champion from the tri wizard tournament. Dumbledore then added, "Well, in the Veela culture there is a royal family. What we didn't know is that their heir and future queen had been sent away for her protection during the last blood war. I'm glad to say that she has found out who she really is and has returned and has recently come into her inheritance." Everyone looked around while four sets of eyes bugged out as he introduced her, "I'm proud to say that the future queen of the Veela race is none other than a Hogwarts student that had up until now been considered a muggleborn. I'd like to introduce you to Princess Hermione Antoinette Granger."
