At Narcissa and Lucius's Manor Flashback
"Draco, you're a Veela."
"Bloody impossible. Me a Veela at 21 years old?"
"Yes, you're a Veela son." said my father as a matter of factly.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Well, for one thing, I am a Veela and your mother's my mate."
"And you've been kinda unhappy with Astoria, right?"
"Yeah. How do you know?"
"Veelas have acute senses of sensing and feeling others' thoughts."
"So I am a Veela, and why haven't told me sooner?"
"Because you didn't come into your inheritance until now, son."
"Oh right. So because I'm unhappy with Astoria, you think I'm a Veela?"
"This amongst other things. Have you been longing to find your only mate, your other half?"
"Yes. Again using your Veela senses?"
"Yes. We know because we can partially read others' mind."
"So you've been invading my privacy—?"
"No, we've been taking care of you, Draco. And we think we know who your mate might be."
"And who might that be?"
"Hermione Granger."
"Not that Mudblood!"
"Stop it, Draco, that word is forbidden to use after the war. She's a witch and more than a match for you."
"But how do you know it's her?"
"You've had a tiny bit of crush on her ever since you met her, yes? Haven't you found her beautifully gorgeous the first time you laid your eyes on her?" This time was my mom.
"Yes I suppose I did. But after my school years, I rarely saw her, so I dont' know about that anymore."
"Liar. You've been thinking about her day and night while you're with Astoria, right?"
"You know too much about me already. I'm protesting, this is an invasion of my privacy."
"We just want to take care of you, my son." said father.
"And taking care of me means invading my private thoughts?" I said getting a bit angry at them.
"Part of it." They said in unison without batting an eyelid.
"Now your mate is with Weasley, you wish you were him, am I right?"
"Spot on, Mother! Just thinking of her touching Weasley makes me so jealous."
"That's another sign."
"So how do I tell Astoria I'm a Veela?"
"Tell her plainly. Astoria dear, I am a Veela and I need to be with my mate. She will understand."
End of Flashback.
So that's what turned my life upside down. Me Draco Malfoy, a Veela? I always thought I was a Pure-Blood and my father, with his Pure-Bloods-were-the-best speeches, always got me to think I was the best too. But now I know I wasn't that Pure, and that I had a Mate, less purer than I : Hermione Jean Granger.
I knew I always had a crush on her ever since I met her, but I didn't know it was my Veela senses kicking in. Now how to tell Astoria was another story. Damn, she was a hard to deal with woman. And who loved me a lot too. So I was going to tell her what : "Astoria Dear, I am a Veela and I need to be with my mate?"
No. That wouldn't work on her, she would throw a big temper tantrum, even if I gave her half of my money to appease her. And Scorpius, yes, my son! How could I forget about him? Did I even love him? I didn't know about it now. But I knew that I've always wanted a child with Hermione Granger, and now I knew why : I was a Veela and she my Soulmate.
"Astoria, can you come down to dinner, I have something important to tell you!"
"What's wrong dear?"
"First off, don't you dear me, I'm not your dear."
"Is something the matter with you, Draco? Are you in a bad mood?"
"No, but listen, I am a Veela and I need to divorce you."
"What?! Why?!"
"I am a Veela and I need to divorce you, you're not my mate."
"You can't be serious. You had Scorpius with me! You married me!"
"I proposed to you because I had to take a wife and I had to have a heir to the Malfoy line. That's why I married you."
"And who's your mate?" I could sense her jealousy was increasing and tension was in the air.
"None of your business."
"Tell me or I won't divorce you."
"Fine, Hermione Granger."
"Hahahaha, you can't be serious! That mublood?!" I felt anger at her calling my mate that.
"How dare you call her that in my presence, Astoria?"
"I'll call her however I want."
"Fine, but you'll get fined by the Ministry of Magic if you do it too loudly."
"All right, I won't call her a mudblood, but she's married to Weasley, you're going to have hard time convincing her to divorce him?"
"Don't you think I don't know that already?"
"I mean even if you did get a divorce with me, she won't agree to divorcing with her husband and don't forget, she hates you for all the things you did to her in school." Did she have to remind me of that?
"Are you doing it on purpose or not? And are you agreeing to the divorce or not?"
"Yes I am."
To say that I was surprised was the understatement of the year, she agreed to it? My goodness, it must be the end of the world. I continued with :
"You can keep Scorpius if you'd like."
"I want no blood of yours in the Greengrass's house."
"Fine, so I'll take custody of him?"
"Yes go ahead."
"So you've never loved Scorpius or me?"
"I did love you Draco, but you broke my heart with wanting to divorce me, so I decided why should I care for your child?"
"He's your son too."
"But he takes after you more than me, so I don't want to be reminded of you every second of my life."
"I understand Astoria."
So that was how my ex-wife, Astoria Greengrass, took the divorce. Considering her temper, she took it rather well I'd say. I was free now to pursue my mate : Hermione Granger. What a big task! I had a feeling she was going to give me hell this one. See, we didn't get along really well in school and I called her that too. Now I was regretting it, but it was too late, she was with Weasley, my school rival along with Potter.
