About story: On Draco's fifteenth birthday he finds out that Harry Potter is his mate. If Harry doesn't agree to bond with him before Draco's sixteenth birthday they will both die.
After which book this story takes place: The second. Anything that happened in the books afterward did not and do not happen. So even though they are in their fifth year the third and fourth books did not take place and what happened in the second book took place in their third year.
Apologies: I do not know Draco's real birthday if it is even in the book and I apologize if I get it wrong. I also apologize if Draco seems a bit OOC but he most likely will be that way with Harry sometimes since Harry is his mate. I apologize if I get any facts about Veela's wrong, I do not know anything about them except that they need a mate to survive and they get wings. I also apologize for the fact that I have a problem with switching from present tense to past tense.
Disclaimer: I do not and will not ever own Harry Potter no matter how many times I wish upon falling stars.
Don't worry my loyal readers. I am not jumping into the Harry x Draco thing so soon! Draco may be head over heels but Harry is a bit reluctant to admit that he is Draco's mate and that Draco really likes him. ;D
Chapter Two:
After classes were over the Gryffindor Prefects announced a meeting in the Gryffindor Common Room for the fifth year Gryffindors. Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood in the Common Room as the Prefects stood on the stairs so that everyone could see them.
"Thank you for coming everyone. This speech is made every year to the fifth years so that they can be informed about a certain… issue. You may have noticed that the older Slytherins don't seem to date within their House but they date people in the other three houses. It seems out of character for them, but it is because they are usually unable to date within their own House. This is because ninety-nine percent of all Slytherins are Veelas. Every Veela has a mate that is not chosen by them, but by fate. On their fifteenth birthday they are able to sense whom their mate is and if they do not bond with their mate by their sixteenth birthday both the Veela and the mate die. I am telling you all this because it is possible that some of you may be the mates of some of the Slytherins," a prefect explains.
Shocked whispers run through the crowd of fifth years as they take in the news. "God, I hope none of us get stuck with a bloody Slytherin," Ron says unhappily to Harry and Hermione. "Yeah," Harry agrees though for some reason his mind wanders to Draco and wonders whom his mate is.

Draco sat on his bed beside Blaise. "So, have you found your mate yet?" Blaise asks happily. Draco could tell the boy had found his since he was so happy. "Unfortunately," Draco mumbles and his Veela hisses at him. "Why 'unfortunately'?" Blaise asks curiously. "My mate is Potter," Draco responds unhappily and his Veela hisses again at the use of Harry's last name. "That isn't too bad…" Blaise says with a shrug and Draco looks at him untrustingly. "Who is your mate, Blaise? If you think Harry isn't bad then you must have someone truly awful," Draco says. "He isn't awful! Ron is amazing!" Blaise says angrily. "Ron as in Weasley?" Draco asks in shock and Blaise's face goes bright red.
"So what? He's really nice and handsome and caring and…" Blaise trails off as he thinks of Ron and Draco makes a disgusted face. "Yeah, sure, whatever, Blaise," Draco says and rolls his eyes which causes Blaise to give Draco a death glare. "Anyways, does Weasley know yet?" Draco asks curiously. "No, but I'm going to tell him tomorrow. Today is the day that all the fifth years of the other Houses find out about us Veelas. It's apparently tradition to find out on this day," Blaise says with a shrug. "Huh, maybe I'll tell Harry tomorrow as well, then…" Draco murmurs quietly.
"I hope they don't freak out too much," Blaise says as he stares at the wall. "Ron will definitely freak out, he doesn't seem like one to take things like this too well," Draco comments and Blaise sighs. "You're lucky, Potter might be a bit shocked but he doesn't freak out too much. He'll probably just faint or something," Blaise mutters.

The next morning Blaise and Draco left early to catch Ron and Harry before they got to the Great Hall. Unfortunately it didn't work too well since the two boys were in a large group. "Guess we'll have to get to them after breakfast," Blaise mutters bitterly as they head into the Great Hall and over to the Slytherin table.

Blaise and Draco ate quickly and were soon done breakfast. They then left the Great Hall and waited in the shadows for their mates to come out. Both had found it almost impossible to eat, they had wanted so much to run over to their mates and couldn't keep their eyes off the two Gryffindors.
Soon the two boys left the Great Hall with only Granger with them. The two Slytherins followed in the shadows as the Gryffindors wandered down the hall. "Oh, I forgot one of my books in the common room! I'll meet you two in class!" Hermione says suddenly and runs away from the boys.
"That isn't like Hermione to forget one of her books…" Ron mutters with a frown and Harry nods. The Slytherins would have found it weird if they didn't know the real reason. Hermione had spotted the two Slytherins a while back though she had said nothing to the two boys. A few moments before she had left she had nodded to the Slytherins when the Gryffindors hadn't been looking. The two Slytherins took it that she knew why they had been following the three and that she was giving them a chance to tell the two boys.
Draco and Blaise walked out of the shadows and Ron and Harry stared at the two in shock. "How long have you two been there?" Ron asks with narrowed eyes. Draco could see that Blaise was a bit upset about Ron's bitterness. "We've followed you two for a while, we needed to talk to you two alone," Draco replies emotionlessly. Ron and Harry look like they're ready to grab their wands at a moment's notice.
"We aren't here to fight," Draco says with a sigh. His Veela was shouting at him to just tell Harry already. "Then why are you here?" Harry asks curiously. "You… know about how most of us Slytherins are Veelas, right?" Blaise asks uncertainly. "Yeah…" Ron said nervously. "Well… uh… we… you…" Blaise stutters and Draco rolls his eyes. "We're Veelas and you are our mates," Draco says bluntly and both Harry and Ron stare at them in shock.
"That… that isn't possible…" Ron mutters his eyes still wide with shock. Blaise looks hurt and frowns slightly. "So… uh… are you going to tell us who is supposed to be with whom?" Harry asks nervously. "You're my mate and Ron is Blaise's," Draco says calmly and at that moment Ron faints.
Blaise runs to Ron to make sure the red-head hadn't hurt himself when he fainted. Blaise cradled his head gently and smiled when he found no bruises though Ron would probably have a headache from hitting the ground.
Harry seems uncomfortable being here and he shifts from foot to foot as he stares at a wall. "I should probably be getting to class…" Harry says nervously. Draco nods slowly as his Veela protests unhappily.

Ron woke up in the infirmary wing. He slowly sat up and it made his head spin. Suddenly he felt hands pushing him gently back down. "Don't push yourself, you hit your head quite hard," a gentle voice says. Ron turns to see Blaise staring at him contently.
"Z-Zabini, what are you doing here? Wait, what am I doing here?" Ron asks. "You are here because you fainted after finding out that you are my mate and I am here because I brought you here," Blaise answers with a slight smile. "M-m-m-mate?" Ron stammers and looks like he is about to faint again. "I'm sorry that you had to find out so suddenly, but I had to tell you," Blaise says softly as he caresses Ron's cheek.
Ron, who had always thought himself straight, doesn't move away from Blaise's touch. Instead it relaxes him and he slowly closes his eyes. "Get some rest, Ron, I'll stay right here," Blaise says softly as Ron drifts off to sleep.

After classes Harry goes to visit Ron. He was freaked out the whole day over being Draco's mate. He had decided that Malfoy must be playing some game and Harry would not fall for it! When Harry got into the infirmary wing he saw that Zabini was still with Ron.
"Hey," Harry says uncomfortably as he sits down in a chair beside Zabini who is holding Ron's hand in both of his. Zabini turns to look at him. "Hi, Potter. I'm surprised you aren't with Draco," Blaise says. Harry shifts uncomfortably and just shrugs.
The two boys sit in silence for a long time and it is broken by Ron waking up. "Hmm?" Ron mumbles as he slowly sits up. Ron freaks out when he sees Zabini holding his hand. "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?!" he shouts and pulls his hand away from Zabini. Zabini's eyes go wide with hurt as he slowly places his hands on his lap.
Harry waits for Ron to calm down before talking. "Are you doing alright, Ron?" Harry asks worriedly. "Yeah, I'm fine, mate," Ron says with a nod. "That's good. You're lucky though, you missed Snape's awful potions class," Harry teases and Ron grins. "Lucky me," Ron agrees though he keeps glancing nervously at Zabini.
"It… uh… wasn't a dream was it?" Ron asks finally as he stares at Zabini out of the corner of his eye. "No, Ron, sorry," Harry says with a sigh. Ron frowns before turning to look at Harry again. "How are you doing? You've got it worse than I do," Ron asks.
Okay, I'm done chapter two! I was trying to work on Hero's Brother but I still have writers block for that one story… Anyways, please review this chapter! I'm so happy that I've already got three reviews! Chapter three may or may not be up tomorrow. I'll try my hardest! It also depends on how many reviews I get. ;D
