Chapter 1: September 1'th, Sunday 1996.

Draco woke up the morning of the first of September, blinking at the sunlight. At first he didn't realize what day it was but then it struck him like lightning and he got up, smiling in excitement.

It was the first day of school, which means he will finally meet his mate.

In Draco's sixteen birthday that summer, he came to his veela heritage. Of course he knew he was a veela, it wasn't that big of a secret. Both Lucius and Narcissa were veela, and found love in each other, which was quite rare nowadays.

Draco got ready, almost jumping with joy. Since his heritage, Draco could feel his mate, and also felt the magical power from him, which made Draco even more excited than he already was.

Draco sighed. Of course he knew his mate was a male, but his parents had no idea and he was a bit nervous as to what their reaction might be.

He shook his head, getting rid of those thoughts, and made his way downstairs to the dining room, where his parents were, talking with each other.

"Dragon" his mother greeted him when she noticed his arrival. She got up from her seat and hugged him.

"Mother" he greeted back and she smiled a small smile, noticing the nervousness in his voice.

"Don't worry, my dragon, whomever your mate might be, we will be happy for you as long as your mate makes you happy" she said and he smiled at her.

"Thanks mom" he said. She nodded and sat back down, Draco following shortly.

"Good morning father" he greeted the blonde man in front of him, who smiled at him.

"Good morning Draco, why won't you eat something?" he gestured with his hand at the table and Draco nodded and piled his plate.

"Draco?" his father asked after Draco finished eating. Draco looked at him. "Yes, father?" he asked, not sure at the look in his father's eyes.

"Do you remember your cousin Nicolette?" Lucius asked. Draco nodded, raising his eyebrow, not sure where the conversation was headed. Of course he remembered Nicolette, they were very close as children and every summer they visit them in France. Nicolette's father, Andrews, was Lucius's twin brother, also a veela, but her mother, Amanda, is a witch, which made their only daughter a half-veela, only having some of the powers of a veela.

"Well, as you might know, her sixteen birthday was in April, and it seems she couldn't find her mate in Beauxbaton, which is quite unusual, but her parents are a little worried and after a talk with Andrews, they decided to transfer her to Hogwarts, so she will spend her next two years with us" said Lucius.

Draco's eyes widened, surprised, before his face broke into a huge smile.

"Nicolette is going to stay with us?" he asked excitedly.

"Yes" Lucius smiled, noticing his son excitement.

"When will we meet her?" Draco asked.

"Her parents want to say goodbye to her, so we will meet them at the train station" Lucius answered.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Draco jumped on his feet and his parents shared am amused look before getting up also and making their way outside, where Draco's trunk was waiting, and they apparated to king's cross station.

"Draco!" he heard a female voice call. He turned, recognizing the voice, and smiled as he saw his cousin separate from her parents and run toward him, jumping on him with a bit startling hug.

"Nicolette!" he laughed and hugged her back, before he broke the hug and turned to look at her, circling her.

"Wow, two years and my cousin is almost as hot as me" he chuckled.

"You mean, two years and your cousin is hotter than you" corrected Nicolette in a teasing smile.

He laughed. "In your dreams" he said.

Nicolette's parents got to where they were standing, Lucius and his twin greeting each other warmly while Amanda and Narcissa start chatting with each other.

Andrews looked exactly like Lucius, with silvery blond hair, pale skin and grey eyes. Nicolette looked much like him and Draco, with long silvery blond straight hair, pale, almost white skin and big grey eyes. Amanda, on the other hand, had wavy light golden brown hair, over big hazel eyes, that were similar in shape to Nicolette's.

"Uncle Lucius, aunt Narcissa, if you don't mind, we will get on the train now" Nicolette said and Lucius nodded in agreement, before she pulled Draco after her.

They pulled their trunks through the hallway, chatting happily while looking for an empty compartment, not noticing the stars of awe they were receiving.

They finally found a compartment that was empty, soon joined by Blaise Zabini and Pansy Parkinson as the train started moving.

"Hello Draco, I see you came to your veela heritage. And who is this fine lady?" Blaise asked as he sat next to Nicolette, Pansy sitting next to Draco, rolling her eyes.

Nicolette smiled and turned to look at Blaise, and, once their eyes met, they just stared at each other in surprise.

Draco figured out fast what was going on and watch the sight with interest, signaling to Pansy to be quiet.

After a few seconds, both Nicolette and Blaise gasped for air and it seems they returned to themselves, but suddenly they jumped on each other in a kiss, that lasted until they had to pull out for air, and they just stared at each other, panting slightly.

"You're my mate" she whispered and his eyes widened in shock.

"What? You're a veela too? But I don't even know who you are!" he said, breaking apart from her.

"Well, I am Nicolette Malfoy, Draco's cousin and half-veela, and I transferred to Hogwarts to find my mate, since I haven't found him yet at Beauxbaton. It seems you are my mate, and your name?" she asked.

"Blaise Zabini, I'm Draco's housemate and nice to meet you, I guess" he answered.

"What just happened?" Pansy asked.

"The first stage of the bonding between a veela and their mate" said Draco in awe. "Finding the mate and recognizing him by looking him in the eyes, followed by the kiss, which is the second stage and happens right after the first stage" he added.

Blaise glanced at him. "What's the next stage?" he asked.

"The third stage is accepting the veela and then the last stage is consummation, by saying 'I love you', and then the bond is completed" Draco told him.

"Don't worry, before you accept me I want to get to know you and you will probably want to get to know me" said Nicolette, moving unconsciously closer to Blaise, who blushed, a bit uncomfortable by the situation.

Draco chuckled slightly and smiled at his cousin, looking forward to finding his mate more every minute.

He could feel his mate's presence in the train, and had to forcibly stop himself from going out and finding his mate.

"I guess congratulations are in order, Nicky" Draco chuckled.

"You call yourself Nicky?" Pansy asked.

"Only Draco calls me that, and I call him Drake" Nicolette grinned evilly at her cousin, who stuck his tongue out at her playfully, before both blondes broke in laughter.

"What house do you want to be in, Nicolette?" Pansy asked.

"Slytherin" Nicolette answered without hesitation. "My father talked to your headmaster and he arranged for me to be sorted with the first-years" she said.

The two girls continued chatting while Blaise and Draco talked about quiddich, since they both were on the team, Draco as seeker and Blaise as chaser. After changing into their Slytherin robes, which were black for Nicolette, the train stopped and they headed for the carriages.

As they went through the other students, Draco could feel his mate and looked in each student's eyes as he went after Pansy to find a carriage.

"Don't worry Drake, you have plenty of time to find your mate" said Nicolette, placing a hand on Draco's shoulder. "Besides, you don't want it to be public, do you?" she smirked.

Draco sighed in agreement. "I guess not" he said and they got into a carriage, which immediately started moving toward the castle.

They soon entered the castle and took their place at the Slytherin table in the great hall, waiting for the sorting ceremony to start.

Professor McGonagall entered through the doors to the great hall, followed by a line of nervous-looking first years.

Dumbledore stood up and smiled to the entire hall, his eyes twinkling in mirth when laid on Nicolette and Blaise, who sat close together.

"Hello and welcome back to another year at Hogwarts, and we would like to welcome a new student, Nicolette, who is a half-veela and transferred here from Beauxbaton after she couldn't find her mate. I see the transfer was a success and would like to congratulate the two. Also, Nicolette is, as you may have noticed from her looks, Draco Malfoy's cousin, and came here not just to find her mate but to help Mr. Malfoy find his mate, because, as some of you may already know, Mr. Malfoy is a veela and has come to his full veela heritage. Nicolette will be sorted with the first-year's, so, if you may, professor" he finished his speech, gesturing toward the transfiguration professor, who nodded her head and pulled out a stool and an old batted hat, placing it on the stool and taking out a long parchment, unrolling it and starting to read it.

"Nicolette Malfoy" she called out, glancing toward the girl who exchanged a small smile with her cousin before making her way toward the stool, sitting down gracefully and putting the sorting hat elegantly on her head. The hat barely touched her before it called "Slytherin" and Nicolette smiled proudly and got back to sit between Blaise and Draco, the latter smiling at her widely.

"Charlotte Atmore" McGonagall called next and the sorting continued.

After the sorting and the meal, they were about to head to the dungeons, when Dumbledore stopped them.

"Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Malfoy and Mr. Zabini, if you may?" he said and the three of them separated from the others and followed the old headmaster, who started to walk in a different way.

"Professor, where are we going?" Draco asked unsure, switching a confused look with Blaise.

"Since you and your cousin are veela, each of you will get his own dorm for him and his mate, so Mr. Zabini and Ms. Malfoy here will get their own dorm and you will get your own dorm for you and your mate, as soon as you meet them" he said, making a stop in front of two big drawings of angels, who almost looked like twins, but one was a girl and the other a boy, both have light blond hair, light blue eyes and light skin.

"You may change your passwords at any time, and your friends can visit you here, if you wish. The password for Ms. Nicolette and her mate here is 'purus sanguine serpentes', and is the female portrait" Dumbledore said and the female angel opened the door, Blaise and Nicolette stepping in after saying good night to Draco, the portrait closes after them.

"And for you, Mr. Malfoy, your password is 'serpentes et dracones', so good night and I wish you luck in finding your mate, whomever it is" said Dumbledore with a twinkle in his eyes and turned to leave, the male angel opening the door and Draco stepping in.

Inside there was a worm living room, with only one door, who Draco guessed was headed to the bedroom. He entered the bedroom and looked around. It had a king-size poster bed, and another door that led to the bathroom.

His trunk was already there, he noticed.

After taking a small shower and wearing a pair of boxers, Draco climbed on to the bed, sighing that he hadn't found his mate yet.
