Oooh! First het in awhile. (:

Draco/OFC

Summary: Well, being the mudblood she was, she didn't realise that she was a Veela. Not to mention that she didn't know that she was a witch and nearly as powerful as her cousin Harry Potter. Along with the fact that she lived in Australia helped as well. Draco/OFC, Veela!OFC, Veela!Draco

Disc. Don't own HP or his cronies and I know that you know who owns 'em.

Azalea Violette Evans, more commonly known as Aloe by her friends, gasped in pain as she lived the first few minutes of her newly 16-year-old self. She bit her lip as hard as she could and tried not to express the ghastly pain on her face that she was experiencing. Azalea seriously thought she was dying by the immense amount of pain that was located around her joints as she literally felt them move and shift. Little did Aloe know that she was turning into one of the most graceful creatures that walked on the face of the planet, a Veela.

Her parents, Felicity Evans née Winters and Ash Evans were what the magical creatures call Muggles. Born without any magical talent, these two were oblivious to the mystical world outside their own. Felicity being the only child she was; didn't have any magical siblings although Ash on the other hand was the eldest had two younger sisters, Lily and Petunia Evans. Growing up, Ash went to a boarding school and had no idea that his youngest sister was a Witch or that his daughter somehow ended up with the genes of a full-blooded Veela. Well then again, Ash had no idea what a Veela was in the first place.

As the clock approached one, Aloe groaned in pain but tried hard enough to fall asleep. Unfortunately this didn't happen until exactly it was One of the Clock in the early morning of Aloe's sixteenth birthday.

"Happy freakin' Birthday Aloe," she whispered to herself, smarmily.

do the impossible see the invisible

Aloe moaned once again as she clutched her head in pain. Feeling like she had the worst hangover ever did not bring her happiness. Aloe tried to remember if she drank the night before but kept coming up with blanks. She left her dad's liquor alone as she knew that she was going to party hard today with all her mates. Aloe stood up and instantly felt weird. She felt... taller. Aloe looked around and saw that everything was lower down and... she was taller. She yawned as she looked into the mirror that was besides her. Gasping as she looked at her body and wondered how in whoever's name she managed to get one body like this!

Aloe always knew she was prettier than the average girl. With white-blonde hair and electrifying green eyes, she was definitely a looker. Aloe had always wondered where her hair colour had come from; her mother had black hair and father a reddish-auburn colour. Her dad told her that his grandmother had hair like hers and her grandmother's mother but no-one else in the family. Aloe already knew the story about her eyes.

Special as she was, her eyes came from the same, said father's side. Apparently his younger sister, Lily had the exact same eyes as Aloe. Well, Aloe already knew that, she remember years ago when Aloe and her family went to visit her Aunt Petunia and her family. She remembered a little boy, her age just a few months younger than her trying to hide in the cupboard underneath the stairs and pretended to not exist. Aloe didn't even think her parents knew about the boy.

Aloe reminisced.

Flashback

Aloe stepped inside the house before anyone else. She loved exploring especially since she got her new magnifying-glass from her parents for her birthday. She was 6-years-old! A grown-up now, especially with her magnifying-glass. Just as she got inside the house, she saw a small movement. Aloe quickly picked up her magnifying-glass and ran towards the cupboard that was under the stairs. She looked inside of the cupboard and saw a small little boy sitting on a bed. Aloe's eyes widened. She opened the door and whispered,

"Hello! Are you playing hide and go seek?" Aloe asked politely. Aloe looked at the boy. He looked significantly younger than her with wild locks of messy hair and was very thin. He was wearing clothes that seemed too large for him and was shaking a little. She couldn't see his eyes yet since he was looking down. Suddenly his gaze met hers and the same striking green eyes shone back at her.

"What is hide and go seek?" He whispered as he was still shaking a bit softly, "are you one of the Evans' that are staying here?" Aloe's eyes widened comically, she gasped.

"You don't know what hide and go seek is? It's a game! One person has to hide and another person has to count to twenty. When the person counts to twenty, they have to find the other person! Oh and yes, my name is Azalea. But everyone calls me Aloe since it's much easier to prihnince.. no, wait... that's not right. P-ro-now-ence. I think, pronounce. Also, Azalea is apparently a flower or something and Aloe is some kind of plant too so it's okay! What is your name?" Aloe asked as she sat on the small bed/cot.

"I'm Harry, Harry Potter," Aloe's eyes widened even further.

"Hiya Harry! Are you a Potter? Are you the son of Aunt Lily?" Aloe asked, she kept going, mumbling to herself, "I didn't know that Aunt Lily had a son, why didn't dad tell me?"

"Apparently, Lily and James Potter, Aunt Petunia always goes on about how they are freaks. She says that they died in a car accident or something. I wish I had parents or at least a brother or sister," Harry said sulkily. Aloe petted his head.

"It's okay, although I have parents, I don't have any brothers or sisters either, apparently mum and dad can't have any more children or something. But what about our cousin Didy or something? Doesn't he live here as well? Are you two best of friends?" Aloe asked. Harry's face darkened.

"His name is Dudley and he hates me, everyone here hates me, Dudley likes to play Harry Hunting and push me around and stuff. Uncle Vernon always shuts me in the cupboard," Harry's lip started to quiver, "I don't know why they do all this, they always treat Dudley fairly well, not really actually they treat him specially and make me do everything! Oh no, please don't tell Aunt Petunia that I've told you all this! She will kill me!" Harry cried. Aloe looked at Harry and then hugged him. Harry was shocked; he didn't think he'd ever gotten a hug before! He held onto Aloe as she hugged him, after all, they were family.

"Harry, would you like it if you stayed with us? I mean, we're first cousins too! I can look after you! How old are you Harry?" Aloe asked as she just hugged him gently. Harry sniffled.

"I-I'm six years old," Aloe looked towards Harry in shock.

"Really? I'm six as well! You don't look like you're six though. What month are you born in?" Aloe said.

"My birthdate is the 31st of July. Yes, I know I don't look like I'm six. Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon hardly ever feed me and lock me away in this bedroom," Harry pointed into the small cupboard that they were sitting in. Aloe looked away angrily.

"They make you sleep in here? How could they! You're so nice Harry and you're only a couple of months younger than me, yet you look like you're 4! I was born on the 11th of May," Aloe said as she punched her hand into the wall, "Harry, would you like to stay with us!" Harry looked on longingly.

"I would love to; although I don't think Aunt Petunia or Uncle Vernon would let me. You are not even supposed to know I'm alive, I think," Harry said, "Uncle Vernon said he would feed me five times this week if I kept myself in here. I said yes, I wanted the food Aloe! I'm sorry! I really want to stay with you and your family but... I can't," Aloe bit her lip.

"Harry, what about I—we, visit you every year at Christmas time? Harry, I already love you like my own little brother/cousin. Besides, there is a bedroom downstairs right?" Aloe asked. Harry nodded, "why don't I sleep in the room downstairs and after everyone goes to bed, I unlock you out of this cupboard and you can sleep in the bedroom! I have an alarm watch that can wake us up at 5 so you can go back here!" Harry looked apprehensive.

"What if someone found out?" Harry asked, "I would never be allowed to eat or have a shower ever again!" He exclaimed. Aloe smirked scarily.

"Don't worry; I never get caught doing things,"

End Flashback

Oh Aloe loved her cousin Harry and her plan worked superbly as well. The fact that she got to stay with Harry for the next 5 years at Christmas was amazing for Aloe! Harry and Aloe got along well and she stayed true to Harry by not telling anyone about him. Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon had no idea that every night Harry slept in that bedroom downstairs. Especially since Aloe gave Harry the key for the cupboard and her alarm watch so that he would wake up before anyone else did and slip back into the room. Aloe chuckled as she remember the first time meeting Dudley but still wondered about his expression every time they met each other for the following 5 years after.

Flashback

So Aloe had met, Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Harry, all she had now to meet was Dudley Dursley. Aloe already had a bad impression of him. Firstly, since Aunt Petunia kept going on about how good her lil' Duddikins was, ticked Aloe off. Secondly, (which was also Lastly) Harry told Aloe about how mean he was to him so that brought him way down on her good list.

"Aloe-love! Come meet your cousin Dudley!" Felicity said loudly. Aloe walked into the kitchen room and looked around and waited for her cousin. He didn't come. Aloe looked over the kitchen sink and saw a whale of a boy sitting on the sofa, eyes glued to the TV. Aloe raised one eyebrow. Obviously this was Dudley Dursley. He was fat. Had blonde hair, like Aloe, but his was more blondish-brown compared to Aloe's White-Blonde hair and lastly, he looked like a crossover between a Whale, Toad and Pig which made him a Tigale. Get it? Toad-Pig-Whale, a Tigale?

"Duddikins! Come and say hi to your cousin Azalea!" Petunia Dursley said to her son. Dudley grunted. Aloe raised her eyebrow again looking very much like a certain person she was going to meet in 10 years. "Dudley! At least say hello!" Petunia scolded. Finally Dudley looked over to his cousin and his eyes widened. He stared at Aloe with a creepy look on his face. Well, it was creepy to Aloe anyway. His eyes were very wide and his mouth was opened.

"Huh-heh-uh-Hello," he finally said. Aloe raised her sleek eyebrow once more and saw Dudley's eyes widen again.

"Pleasure," she said sarcastically and walked towards the kitchen where her mother was at. This brought Dudley Dursley to the bottom spot of her Bad List.

End Flashback

Aloe still wondered why the same thing happened every year after when she came to visit the Dursleys. Although, then again, this happened a lot to every day people. She never had the thought of him liking her. Or thinking he was hot. That was just... yuck! I mean, they were cousins, hello! Aloe sighed as her thoughts once went back to her cousin Harry. Aloe remembered when she was 11 and went to visit the Dursleys plus Harry for their one week stay.

Flashback

Aloe bounded into the house and quickly opened the door with her key she had. She made her dad get a copy of the key but never told him what it was actually for. Obliviously, he just thought it was for some kid-diary of hers, not the room of her favourite cousin ever! As Aloe opened the door she peered inside as the word, Surprise! was on the tip of her tongue. Weirdly enough, Harry wasn't there, nor were any of his things like the drawings that were on the walls of the cupboard. Aloe frowned as she thought were he would be. He probably went to the bathroom or something, Aloe contemplated.

Aloe set her stuff in her room downstairs and walked up the staircase to Dudley's two small rooms. She passed them with a small glance but then saw that one of the rooms had Harry's drawings inside. Aloe's eyes widened as she stepped inside and saw that it was, indeed, Harry's room. Aloe's lips turned into a smile as she realised that Harry no longer had to sleep – well pretend sleep anyway – in that horrid cupboard that was downstairs! She couldn't wait for Harry to get out of the bathroom and hug him whilst celebrating with him.

row row fight the power

Two days had passed and Aloe quickly realised that Harry hadn't been in the bathroom. He wasn't even in the entire house! Aloe really wanted to know where Harry was, but she knew she couldn't ask Aunt Petunia. That was obvious, she made an oath to Harry, well not really, she only learnt what an oath was this year but still! Aloe wondered if Harry went to a boarding school or something since she knew the holidays in England were different to the ones in Australia so maybe he went to a Holiday-Care sorta place.

The year after, Harry wasn't there either but he had more drawings on his wall, indicating that he had been there sometime. She didn't even get a note or anything from Harry and cried herself to bed each night wondering why she was so sad.

Aloe never came back to the Dursleys for Christmas ever again and her parents were so puzzled by her strange erratic behaviour but never questioned their daughter. Aloe became more demanding and the soft spoken child she once was vanished. She was more independent as she knew that life isn't fair and that no one is innocent.

Although Aloe's trademark analogy was, Don't Trust Nobody

She abided that rule since those two years hit her harder than anything else.

Hm. I didn't realise that Aloe was going to be whiney. Hm, anyway. Hope you enjoyed this, please review. I'll write faster! Well maybe not but I'll be happier! (:
