Chapter 2

When Draco finished shopping for school he sent everything to his house. He needed to talk to someone about what was going on with the whole Veela business besides his parents, so he decided t that he would just go over to his best mate, Blaise. He apparated into his bedroom and immediately saw him lying on his bed just looking at the ceiling.

"Hey mate, what brings you here?'' he said jumping off his bed to stand in front of Draco.

"I need to tell you something," he said.

"You sound serious man, what's up," he said sitting back on his bed.

Draco sat in the arm chair that Blaise had next to his bed and told him how he had no more potion that could keep his Veela feelings inside and how he was now going to have to find his mate and she would most than likely be at Hogwarts.

Blaise just sat there in silence as he listened to Draco lay out all his problems at his feet, just thinking that this could probably be a good thing for Draco, he needed someone to love who would love him, and this way he would settle down and truly find love.

"Well, I think this is a good thing, you having to find this mate, you needed someone to love, I mean I can honestly say that I am ready to share you with the lucky lady," Blaise said smiling.

"Blaise you are such a romantic, but I guess you're right, I think I am ready to find someone, and who are you kidding you know you want to just keep me all to yourself I know that I'm so great that everyone just can't get enough," Draco said smirking.

"So who do you think it could be? I mean there're lots of girls at Hogwarts and any one of them could be your mate."

"I know I guess we will find out once we get to Hogwarts and then the games will begin," he said smirking

Hermione stayed in her room for the rest of the day. Her mind was brilliant and it could process many things it was having a very difficult time processing the fact that she was half vampire and that she would have to find a mate or she would die, yep she didn't even think that brains were every supposed to process things like this, it was a wonder that she hadn't passed out when she was hearing the news, her whole body was in shock.

But she was slowly coming to grips with the fact that she was half vampire and that she would have to find a mate, it was her seventh year and she didn't want to be alone, she wanted to share her life with someone who she loved and loved her back.

The next morning, she walked down the stairs ready to talk to her parents; her brain had finally finished processing all that it needed to. When she walked into the kitchen a plate was already awaiting her presence and her parents, sitting, waiting for her to begin to talk and ask anything she wanted or needed to. She picked up her utensil and began to eat her parents just sat quietly and waited for her to finish.

When she finally finished she turned to her parents to begin the conversation. "Ok I have gone over everything and I've come to find out that I can accept everything that you have shared with me." She watched as both her parents blew out a sigh of relief. "I do wish you guys would have told me earlier, but its ok I'm just happy I know now. Now I really only have one question", at the shocked expressions on her parents face she laughed.

"I just wanted to know if it was alright if I told someone about this secret of mine."

"We knew you were going to ask this and we would like it more if you would not tell Harry or Ron simply because they are boys and they wouldn't know where you are coming from when you ask boy advice; we would rather you tell a girl, and of course you would have to tell your mate."

"Hermione nodded her head ''ok well, I was thinking about telling Ginny, she could help me during this whole thing I have to go through."

"We think that Ginny would be a wonderful choice and you know if you need anything answered while you are at school you know that you can write me and I will answer you as best as I know how."

"I know, thanks mom. Well that is all that I wanted to ask so now I must be going."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going over to the Burrow, so I can go school shopping with the Weasley's, and I thought it would be a good time to tell Ginny about my new exciting news, Hermione said in a sarcastic tone."

"Ok, bye have fun", they said to her as she apparated to the Burrow.

As Hermione was apparating she got that sense she always got while apparating the sense that she was going to hurl. When she landed she was greeted with three red heads and one raven haired boy, they all came rushing up to her so they could have their chance to hug her.

"Hermione finally, where have you been we were 'bout to leave without you", Harry said while hugging her.

" Ermione we missed you so much it has been forever since we have seen you", Ron said squeezing her so tightly she could hardly breathe.

"Finally you are here I was getting tired of being around all these boys", Ginny said laughing as she hugging Hermione.

"Hermione, darling it's so nice to see you again are you ready to go school shopping?"

"It's good to see all of you too, I have missed all of you so much, and yes Mrs. Weasley I am ready, but before we leave I have something I want to tell you all."

"What is it Hermione", Harry said looking worried.

Hermione put on a fake worrisome face and said, "I'm afraid I made head girl", she said suddenly breaking into smile.

Everyone gathered around her and told her congratulation, she smiled at them all as she said thanks. They were all stopped talking when Mrs. Wealsey said, "Oi the lot of you have to go times a wasting." They grabbed a handful of floo powder and set off to Diagon Ally.

Three hours later everyone had all of their school supplies and they were all sitting in the Wealsey's living room everyone doing varies things. Harry and Ron were playing Wizards Chess and Hermione and Ginny were watching the game, Mrs. Wealsey was in the kitchen making lunch for everyone. Hermione thought it was time to ask Ginny if she wanted to spend the night at her house because she felt like she was going to burst if she didn't tell someone soon what was now going on with her life.

She grabbed Ginny's arm and pulled her to the side so the boys wouldn't hear anything. "Hey Ginny would you like to spend the night at my house we can go to Kings Cross from my house?"

"Yea sure Hermione, but what's up?"

"I need to tell you some things and I don't want to be here when I tell you and plus I thought it would be cool to have a girls night."

"Yea, great idea Hermione let me go ask mum; we can leave right after we all have lunch."

"Ok great."

Ginny went to go ask her mom if she could go over Hermione's house, while Hermione went back over to watch the boys play their game, she wasn't surprised to know that she they hadn't even noticed that she and Ginny had left for a while.

Ginny came back into the room smiling, Hermione could tell that she was able to go by her face she then resumed her place watching the boys play. Soon Mrs. Wealsey came out of the kitchen and told everyone that they could eat. Ron and Harry quickly got up and headed to the table leaving their game in the wake. Hermione and Ginny were laughing as they followed behind the boys.

Lunch was how it always was at the Burrow loud and fun. When everyone was done eating they each went back to what they were doing before, when Harry and Ron finished playing their game Ginny and Hermione went up to her room to grab her truck. When they were done they came down and said goodbye to everyone and then they used the Floo to get to Hermione's house.

When Ginny and Hermione got to her house they said hello to her parents then went quickly up to Hermione's room.

"Ok Hermione do you want to tell me the big news."

"Umm…I'll tell you after we have had some time to catch up with each other I haven't seen you in ages."

"Ok I can deal with that I have so many things to tell you."

Hermione and Ginny talked about nothing and everything. Ginny told Hermione that she finally got Harry. They laughed as they talked about strategy on different ways she could get him. They also did all the things girls do at a sleep over they did each other's makeup, hair and they talked endlessly about boys.

After all this talking Hermione thought it was time that she told Ginny what her secret was. "Ok Ginny I'm ready to tell you my secret but you must promise me that you will not tell anyone; and Ginny when I say no one I mean no one at all."

"Ok, ok Hermione I get it I will tell no one, now just tell me you are making me crazily nervous to hear what you have to say."

"Ok I'm just going to come out and say it." She deep took a deep breath in and let it out then looked at Ginny and said "I'm a vampire."

Ginny just looked at Hermione then she burst out laughing thinking that Hermione was joking with her. "Hermione come on quit playing and just tell me the big secret". She continued to laugh then she noticed that Hermione didn't start laughing with her she knew Hermione wasn't lying and all she could do was just stare at Hermione.

Hermione noticed when Ginny started believing her; Ginny sat staring, making her uncomfortable. "Ginny please stop looking at me like that, say something please", Hermione stressed.

After a couple more minutes Ginny finally spoke, "I can't believe it, how did this happen were you bitten or something."

"No, no nothing like that I was born this way; it's just now coming out because I am of age now."

"Ohhhh, well tell me everything."

Hermione told Ginny everything that she knew when she was done Ginny was looking at Hermione with mouth wide open not saying a word.

"Ginny please don't look at me like that say something."

Ginny let out a strangling breath then said, "wow Hermione I always thought you needed more excitement in your life, but I never thought that in a million years that this would be the excitement that would come into your life."

Hermione laughed and soon Ginny started to laugh with her after a few minutes the two girls settled down.

"So Hermione what are you going to do about the whole "mate" thing."

"Well I think I want to try and find him I mean we might have a lot of things in common and plus this is my last year at Hogwarts I don't want it to be spent with me being lonely."

"Yea, I think it is a good idea that you find him I mean he is your mate. So….do you have any idea who it might be Ginny said smiling at her."

"No clue what so ever we will just have to wait until I get to school and then the search will be on", Hermione said laughing.

The girls laughed a little more and talked more how the year might be at a Hogwarts. Soon they got ready for bed knowing that tomorrow would be the start of school for both girls but the start of a new life for Hermione.

AN: I'm sorry it took me so long to finally update with school and everything I just didn't have the time but I'm now hoping that since school is settling down I will be able to update the way I want to. Please post reviews!
