*******LAST TIME*******
"Here, put these on kitten." His heart swelled at the endearing term. The neko was hurried in putting his glasses on so he could see his loving mate. Harry gasped at what the small pieces of glass cleared for him to see.
*******NOW*******
Sitting in his bed was Draco Malfoy. "Malfoy! There's no way you're my mate." Harry tried to scramble out of the bed, but Draco held him in place. His kitten's rejection hurt, but he had expected it. After all, they had been enemies for years. As soon as Harry's head was cradled into his chest, the neko stopped all protest and instead began to purr.
Once he was calm, he pulled his head away to look into his mate's cool gray eyes. "Aren't you upset? Don't you hate me? You've made my school life a living hell since first year." Draco cringed at the mention of how he had hurt his mate. "Why are you here, being nice?" Harry was so frazzled, that Draco had to pet his tail to try and calm him down. "I know what you are kitten. I know that neko have life mates and that I'm yours." The cat stiffened. He looked away from the blonde. "You don't have to be here." Draco was confused. "You don't have to do this if you don't want to. If you refuse to be my mate then I'll be fine. You're not obligated to stay, so just go! "
Harry had his head down with this hair covering his face. Draco's heart clenched at the sight of the depressed boy. He knew he was lying, so that he wouldn't have to feel guilty about tying him down. His ears were flat and the hand pointed towards the door was shaking. Draco, who had been shifted back to the end of the bed earlier, got up. Harry's arm dropped back down and his heart fell at the feeling of the weight on the bed disappearing. He knew that the aristocrat was only there out of obligation. He had lied because Draco would have stayed had he told him that nekos will die within two weeks of being rejected by their mates.
Harry was startled when the weight returned right next too him, and two arms wrapped themselves tightly around his shaking form. "You don't have to lie my dear kitten. You don't have to hide anything for me. You want your secret?" Harry nodded in confusion. "I came in the my inheritance this year too. I'm half veela.
Veela, where had he heard that term? Oh yeah, Hermione made him read a book for Care of Magical Creatures. He had found them fascinating, but don't they have life mates like nekos? Why was Draco here, unless… No. This was too good to be true! The veela's hold on him tightened. "You're my mate, only mine, and no one else can have you. I won't let you get hurt ever again." Harry was in tears. His mate wanted him! He wouldn't die! He was loved! Draco panicked when he saw his mate silently crying
"Oh, what did I do now! I'm sorry!" Harry hugged him tightly and gave him a peck on the lips. It didn't seem like much, but it shut them up. That quick peck had put Draco on cloud nine. Harry gave a small giggle at his blissed out face. "I'm not upset. I'm just really happy." Harry yawned loudly and snuggled back into Draco's chest. Before Draco could say another word, the neko was out like a light. Draco let his mate sleep. He was once again curled up on his chest. It was an uncomfortable, but quite cozy actually. That also unnerved him. His mate had gotten shorter and now had a more feminine physique because of his inheritance. Even with these conditions, he was much too light.
Some of the bruises around systemic or so deep that the earliest the magic could cure them would be later in the day. He was still in pain and Draco hated it. The blonde managed to wiggle out from underneath the raven haired boy and got changed and ready for the day. When he came back, Harry was still curled up, sleeping adorably with no signs of waking soon. Now is probably the best time to give him his nutrition potion. He hated nasty potions, so if he took it now, he wouldn't taste it. Draco picked up a vial and began to pour it down his neko's throat. Harry's ears and tail seemed to have disappeared. They only came out when he needed them. He had just finished giving him the potion when he was hit with a hex.
