WOW! O.O I did not except so many reviews this quick. Also I was shocked that many of you put this story on your Favorite or Alert file.
Disclaimer: It's J.'s, not mine. All the characters, ideas, and settings belong to J.K Rowling, not me at all. I'm just using the plot and the characters for my own amusement and crazy ideas.
A/N: I have been asked by someone where does this story start, Post-War or Post-Hogwarts. Well the answer is… it starts after Post-War BUT everyone is returning to Hogwarts to finish their 7th year.
Also I am trying to make the Malfoys more human in this story because they now are free from being Voldemort's pawns.
Also I really hated J. for making Fred and Dumbledore die. –pouts

Now, on to the story…
Ch.2
"My Mate is…"
The sun was shining brightly down upon the ground around the manor; it didn't look as though a storm happen last night. A bright light ray came through a top floor window, hitting a pale face of a young boy.
With a groan, the boy slowly opened his grey eyes looking at the ceiling.
'Argh, that was painful, more painful than being hit by a bludger.' thought Draco.
As he sat up in his bed and pulled the covers away from him. He binned his legs over the bed and put his face in his hands. He rubbed his forehead as he remembered the conversation he had with his father last night.
(Last night)
Lucius waited for his son to say who is his mate, but Draco paused and sighed.
"Who is it? Draco." asked Lucius.
Draco sighed again and muttered "someone you may disagree with being my mate."
Lucius looked at Draco with a curious look and said meaningfully "Who is it, son."
"Well, she is a muggleborn." replied Draco.
Lucius looked at Draco and asked "And?"
"I want your approve on muggles if you still hate them." said Draco
Lucius sighed and smiled
"Draco, as in the past I may have been prejudiced about muggles and muggleborns but you know that has changed for all of us." said Lucius as he watched Draco nodded.
"Yes I do but why?" asked Draco.
Lucius gave a Cheshire cat smile and said "All in due time, Draco."
Draco huffed and frowned at his father, not liking not knowing what his father is hiding.
Lucius chuckled and then cleared his throat.
"Well then, who is your mate that you're trying so hard to hide from me" said Lucius.
Draco looked at his father and turned his face away from Lucius and closed his eyes.
"My mate is…Hermione Granger." said Draco
Lucius raised an eyebrow and said "I see, that why you ask for my opinion."
Draco nodded and replied "Even if you didn't approve of her, I would still mate with her."
Lucius looked at Draco with a smirk and said "Ah that's the same saying I said to my father when I was your age."
Lucius watched as Draco tilted his head and said "Son, that's the veela within us that would do anything to get our mate."
Draco nodded and asked "So, you're not against Hermione being my mate."
Lucius shook his head and said
"Son, there's one thing I know very well is that any veela would get their mate regardless of what their mate's blood is."
Lucius raised an eyebrow and smirked as he said "Unless, of course, you wish in continue being engaged to Miss. Pansy Parkinson."
Draco shook his head rapidly and glared at his father
"Not even if my life depends on her."
Lucius chuckled and asked "Is she really that bad"
Draco gave a contemptuous look and said "You have no idea, annoying pug that girl."
Lucius nodded and matter-in-factly said "Like her father and that reminds me that I have to arrange a meeting with him about canceling your engagement to her."
Draco gave a relief sigh and muttered "Thank Merlin"
Lucius saw that Draco was tired from the transformation and conversation.
"Well I'll let you rest and tomorrow we'll make plans on your mate."
Lucius got out of his chair and walked to the bedroom door and turned to see Draco was slowly falling to sleep.
"After all she is your other half of your soul" whispered Lucius as he opened and closed the door behind him. What he didn't know was that Draco heard him.
Draco sighed and stood up from his bed and walked to his full-length mirror that was next to his closet. As he was standing in front of the mirror, he notices right away same changes on his body.
His pale blonde hair was longer than he was used to. His hair went past his ear and almost down his neck. Draco's eyes were sharper and the color was between grey-blue.
His shirt was a button shirt that was loose, so Draco unbuttons his shirt all the way down. Due to him being a Seeker, he was lean and had a four-pack abs. However now he has a six-pack and was leaner than he was before. All in all, he was hands down handsome and beautiful for a veela.
Draco smirked and thought 'Let's see if Granger can resist this.' He paused
'But, now I'll get more attention from the females at school, just great.' thought Draco sarcastically.
He sighed as he goes into his walk-in closet and grabs a new change of clothes.
'I'll need to ask Blaise for help when we get to Hogwarts' thought Draco
He goes into his private bathroom that was near his closet and took a shower.
After a few minutes later, Draco came out of the bathroom wearing a white shirt and black pants. He was putting on his socks and shoes when he heard an argument down the west wing of the manor.
'Another advantage of being Veela, it must be father and Mr. Parkinson.'
After Draco was done, he opened his door and walked down the hall. As he got near the staircase, Draco saw Mr. Parkinson storming out of his father's office and rushed down the stairs into the living room.
As Draco heard Mr. Parkinson used the fireplace to floo, he heard footsteps walking down the hallway. Draco saw his father walking towards him with a smirk.
"It seems that your problem with Miss. Parkinson is over." said Lucius.
Draco smiled and said "Thank you father."
Lucius nodded and said "Your Welcome, let's go to the dining room for breakfast before your mother sends Misty."
Draco and Lucius walked down the stairs and into the dining room, where Narcissa was waiting for them.
Both men sat in their respective chairs and their breakfast was popped in front of them.
Narcissa saw that both Lucius and Draco were happy and were giving from a light golden glow around their body.
Narcissa raised an eyebrow and asked "So I see that Mr. Parkinson took the news well?"
"No, but he tried many ways to keep the engagement from being canceled, but I reminded him that the contract can be canceled whenever I decide to." replied Lucius
Narcissa had a curious look on her face and Lucius continued "I know that Draco's Veela instincts would happen sooner or later and that's why I had the right to cancel the contract. Mr. Parkinson just didn't read the fine print."
Narcissa and Draco smiled as Lucius took a drink of orange juice.
"Well at least that is out of the way." said Narcissa
"Yes but I still have to deal with Pansy at school." said Draco as he took a bite of egg.
"Do not let her get between you and your mate, Draco." ordered Lucius.
"I will not, father." said Draco with a determined look on his face.
Narcissa decided to change the topic a little by saying "Oh, I send a letter to Severus to let him know about the situation."
Lucius nodded and said "Good since now he's headmaster, he'll know a way for Draco and Hermione to be together."
Suddenly, there was a tapping sound and the family saw a brown owl that had letters tied to itself. Draco got up and opened to window to let in the owl.
The owl landed on the table in front of Lucius with its leg out that had a letter and a package. Lucius untied the letters and gave the owl a piece of bacon as the owl ate it and flew out the window.
"It seems that Severus send his letter and this year's Hogwarts information package." said Lucius as he opened the letter and gave Draco his package.
Lucius open the letter and read it out loud to the family.
Dear Lucius, Narcissa and Draco
I have read your letter Narcissa and understand my godson's situation with a certain Granger. So I have asked Professor McGonagall to make Draco Headboy due to him being the smartest student in Slytherin. I have reason to believe that McGonagall will make Miss. Granger Headgirl. It'll be seen as unity between the houses which Dumbledore had always wished for.
Draco will find a badge within his package and other information for this school year. If I know Granger which I do, she'll be a stubborn one for Draco. Be careful with your plan Draco and good luck.
Sincerely,
Severus Snape, Deputy Headmaster of Hogswart, Godfather
Draco opened his package and inside was indeed a gold badge with 'HB' on it.
"Your godfather did do his job for you son, now you need to finish your half." said Lucius
Draco gave a nod as he looked at the badge as his heart skips a beat.
'Soon, Hermione, Soon'
In a small town a few miles away from London was a two-story white house with blue shutters. In a top floor room that was painted light blue, a girl was tamed curly hair and brown eyes.
She was wearing a light purple shirt with blue jeans. The curly-haired girl was sitting on her bed with Crookshanks, reading 'Pride and Prejudice'
'Just like how the wizarding world is, well almost.' thought Hermione.
Hermione recently got her parents back to England when she returned their memories. Her parents were upset with her but understood why she did it.
'At least they were okay.' thought Hermione.
Suddenly she heard a loud tapping sound and saw a barn owl flapping its wings at her window, waiting for her.
Hermione quickly opened her window and let in the owl. It landed on the bed and Hermione untied a letter and a package from its leg. She gave it some water from her glass cup. It drank and flew out of her window. She closed the window and went back to her bed.
'Hmm…must be this year information and book list.' Thought Hermione
She opened the letter and saw that Professor McGonagall wrote it.
Dear Miss Hermione Jean Granger,
I am please to inform you that this year, you have been chosen to be this year's Headgirl at Hogwarts. Within your package you'll find a handbook to help you with your duties as Headgirl.
Along to help you will be your fellow Headboy, who I can not reveal to you yet. Both have you will help keep in prefects organize and in order to keep students out of trouble.
I hope that this year will be wonderful for you and your friends. I will see you on the Hogwarts Express on September 1 at 11: 00 o'clock for more details.
Sincerely,
Professor Minerva McGonagall, Headmistress of Hogwarts of Witchcraft and Wizardry
There was a loud squeal that could be heard throughout the house as Hermione ran downstairs to tell her parents the exciting news.
What Hermione did not know was that this year was going to be totally different from her last six years at Hogwarts, especially her being Draco's mate.
