Chapter 1. How it all started
The sun was rising at Malfoy Manor. Draco was turning 16 and being a veela, any moment that day, his new wings could morph out so that he could fly off in search of his mate and his looks would also change, he would look better than before. Not only was his veela side awakening that day, he was also becoming of age. His chosen mate from when he was born would be turning 16 not long after Draco.
"Draco, hurry up and come down! Blaise and Pansy are here!" Narcissa (Black) Malfoy, his mum shouted. "I'm coming!" He said in reply. Heading down the staircase, he saw the familiar heads of his two best friends. "Happy Birthday!" they chorused at the same time. Handing him a present each, they flashed him a grin and peered at his back as if hoping his wings were showing already. Rolling his eyes, they headed to the dining room where a delicious spread of breakfast was on the table.
"Draco, happy birthday. We will begin meditating as soon as possible to find out who is your mate." Severus said as he entered his room, his normally emotionless voice showed a hint of pride and affection for his godson. "Severus! Can we start after breakfast? It won't take that long, I've been practicing meditating for years!" Draco said pleadingly. They knowingly nodded and watched as he inhaled his breakfast and bugged Severus to hurry.
After breakfast, they crowded into the sitting room and watched as the two began to meditate in silence. Watching as Draco's expression changed from shock, to anger, to sadness. Standing up at the same time, Severus asked him, "Did you find your mate?" "I bloody well did! It's Harriet Potter! She's being hurt!" the distressed veela shrieked. "Well come on then, another second and he'll be at our throats trying to get us to go." A calm and amused came from the doorway, Lucius Malfoy, Draco's father said.
Shouting, "Accio brooms!" Draco summoned their brooms and they sped off to find Harriet.
At the Dursley's, Harriet was being hit by her uncle who was screaming at her about what a freak show she was. Her birthday was in a few days time and being so excited, she had let her magic get out of control for a while and therefore was being punished.
Boom! They door was kicked down by a worried veela on a broom. Seeing his mate hurt and bleeding, Draco's wings emerged, the people around him were splattered in tiny droplets of blood. Swooping towards Harriet, the Dursleys were watching open mouthed, spitting them a glare, Draco snarled, "If you ever hurt her again, you'll pay!"
Harriet in his arms they apparated to the front of the Malfoy Manor, got through the wards before calling for the house elves to find a healer. When a healer was brought to them, he quickly cast a scanning spell, gave her a few potions and when the healer left, Harriet said, "Why are you being so nice to me?" tears in her eyes. "Love, don't be afraid. You are my mate and we are yet to find out if you are a veela or not. We will have to wait till your birthday in a few days." Draco gently said. "You are my mate? Wow, my life is just too unusual." She said with an amused look. "I take it you are feeling better miss Potter." Severus said. Nodding, she couldn't help but laugh. "Harriet, you had Draco worried sick!" a feminine voice said, Harriet looked around and saw Pansy. Surprised that she wasn't making fun of her. "You are Draco's mate, that makes you our friend." Blaise said, his voice unmistakable.
The next few days passed, Lucius had called his sister, Louisa to teach Harriet how to behave and act, and being the next Mrs. Malfoy she had to be near perfect. When at last she had passed all the tests, Louisa had thrown her way. Harriet's behavior and etiquette was improved and good enough for a Malfoy. At last the day had come, her transformation started at the strike of midnight. Draco cried out in pain when he heard her scream and starting to sob, he couldn't do anything but watch his mother gently ease pain-relieving potions down her throat.
When morning finally arrived, Harriet arrived downstairs in one of Narcissa's dresses, her figure fuller and her face even more beautiful then before. Her scar was gone, much to their delight. When the Malfoys, Severus and Harriet settled down for breakfast, Lucius said, " Now that you are his mate, he can choose to change your name and let you lead a normal life. Would you like that?" Closing her eyes to think, she nodded. "I thought about Adeline, it means noble and kind which you definitely are, but I can't decide between that and Julie, it means youthful. What do you think Harriet?" Draco asked. Smiling, she replied, "I like them both. How about my name can be Julie Adeline. But won't people recognize me? How about I can be a new student from France who transferred from Beauxbaton? I learnt French in Muggle School." "Good idea! I'll get the paper work. But what about you surname?" Lucius replied enthusiastically. "I have a friend from France. We can ask her to say that she is their adopted daughter and they found out that you two are mates? Their surnames are Bellerose" Narcissa quietly added. Nodding, Narcissa went off to floo over to her friend's house to tell her.
When everything had been settled, the paperwork was produced within a few hours and Harriet or as she is now, Julie met her new parents. Adèle and Adrien Bellerose. They were kind and welcoming, the family she had always wanted but ever had. "Bonjour! Mademoiselle Bellerose, Monsieur Bellerose." Julie greeted when she met them. "Dear girl, call us mama and papa. We have always wanted a child and now we have in a way adopted you." Her new mother said in fluent English. Shocked and elated in having a family, she hugged her parents and they ended up in a big group hug celebrating.
"Narcissa, are you sure we are not intruding?" Julie's papa asked. "No my dear Adrien, in fact we are very glad to have you here. You all can get to know each other. Just like the family the three of you always wanted. Tomorrow we are going to diagon alley, why don't you follow us?" Narcissa said gently. Walking out of the guest room after they had said yes, she headed to Draco's room to find Julie and him deep in discussion about Salazar knows what. Knocking on the door, she said, " We're going to diagon alley tomorrow, you should get some sleep." They obediently nodded, said good night and parted.
