The Scents Source

Draco strode down the grand staircase towards the breakfast room, feeling like he hadn't eaten for days while being in the Sahara desert.

He'd felt an acute pain in his chest and his stomach was twisted in knots, he felt lost and an overwhelming urge to run somewhere, but knew he couldn't because he was to have his mate revealed by a seer later, and he was hungry. "Good morning mother, father."

"Hello Draco, but it is actually afternoon, and this is lunch. The seer has arrived and is waiting in the parlour for us, now eat quickly, then we will find out who your mate is."

Draco eat his lunch fast.

The seer had a cat like face and his eyes looked like marbles. "Ah young master Malfoy, please May I have your palm." The seer placed three sky blue and lilac stones on his palm.

"Your going to have to go through a rough time before you and your mate can be happy, including revealing a dangerous secret. If you look into the bowl you'll see the face of your mate."

Draco looked; his chest was in agony because of not being close to her, he looked into the silver liquid that gave off a bluish glow, the face that was revealed was laughing taking on a 2d effect, the brown curly hair swinging from side to side.

It was the face of Hermione Granger.

"Granger, you've got to be kidding me, she's too good for me." Did I just say that? Draco thought.

Lucius Malfoy raised his eyebrows. The mudblood, why am I not surprised, Draco never shut up about her when he was home from school and at Florish and Botts in his second year he insulted everyone but her, he's been in love or lust with her for ages. He mistakes it for hate, like I did with Narcissi.

"Do the location spell, seer." Narcissi instructed; she would owl Severus. He could make a calming potion for Draco and help Lucius with Draco when collecting Hermione Granger.

"She is at a sea side town in Cornwall Mr. Malfoy. Should I make a port key for you." Lucius nodded, the ser took a candlestick holder and waved her wand muttering a spell.

Lucius looked around; the small town was packed with muggle tourists. He could smell Hermione far down the quay near the water; his father and Severus Snape followed him.

Lucius saw her

Hermione was standing with several others on the edge of a pier beside the beach, they were trying to push each other in, they heard several old muggle nearby saying; "that's got to be dangerous, I saw the bottom before the tide came in and there were rocks. Stupid kids, get themselves killed."

Lucius tensed, killed. That would mean Draco would die too. Another muggle over hearing this said, "You're not local are you? No I thought not, those kids are. They grew up here, they know when the water's high enough. And don't worry if they were in trouble the others know what to do. "

Lucius watched as a boy lifted Hermione up and threw her off the pier, she was under for about a minute then surfaced close to the waters edge. "I lost, see you tomorrow Jason. I've got to start back, love yaz." She blew a kiss in the direction of the teenagers she was with and collected her things.

"Miss Granger. Could we have a talk in private with you." Said Snape as Hermione walked off the beach past them.

"Professor Snape? Malfoy, what… what are you doing here?"

"In Private Miss Granger" said Lucius.

Hermione lead them to her holiday house on the hill, after by passing the security she'd had installed.

"What's this about?" she said as she led them to the deck in the front garden.

"We need you to come back to Malfoy manor with us till the rest of the holidays, you see. The Malfoy men are half Veela. What do you know about them?" said Snape.

"Just that Fleur is one and they are irresistible to the opposite sex, they often do crazy things to get Veela's attention, like at the quidditch world cup. That's about it."

"You're correct. Veela have a mate, which see the Veela, as they would look without their Veela blood. When a Veela turns eighteen they came into their inheritance and must search for their mate. Then mark them as their own. If their mate rejects them they will die and it is the wizarding law that the mate is punished by imprisonment in Azkaban."

"Well?" Hermione was getting irritated.

"You are Draco's mate, Miss Granger. I will take you by side apparation to Malfoy manor." Before Hermione could think she was in Malfoy manor.

They lead Hermione in Lucius's study. "Miss Granger here are several books on Veela which will explain everything. If you leave the manor we will inform the ministry." Lucius said closing the study door behind him.

Hermione went through a dozen books in quick suggestion.

They all gave the same information, if the mate rejected the Veela they go to prison, Veela are supposed to be every affectionate, loving.

They share their emotions with their mates, therefore devoting their time to making there mate happy.

Veela were linked to their mates so if the mate was having anything inappropriate with someone the Veela would be in pain. It helps keeping the mate to the Veela as the Veela can only feel happy with their mate.

Veela are over-protective of their mates as a consequence by also are extremely jealous and possessive of their mates.

The Veela also has enhanced feelings (see above) towards their mate before they are marked, the Veela can send dreams and feelings to their mate by just imaging their mate.
