Hermione woke up feeling strong arms wrapped around her protectively, she didn't scream or shove herself away, as memories of last night came back to her, she could faintly see herself at the end, falling, then being held, after that she remembered nothing
till she woke now in her current situation.

Although she wanted answers from Draco,yes Draco, she figured she'd call him that after he'd practically saved her from his inner Veela part. Realising she was going to have to wait she let herself relax as she felt Draco shift closer in his sleep nuzzling
against her neck affectionally, she smiled to herself at that, realising how stupid she'd been to hate him, when she knew barely much about the man holding her close.
She felt sleep come over her again, thanking whoever had perfect timing to have the weekend on after a crazy night with a Veela. Closing her eyes she was fast asleep, hearing the sound of her once enemy's heartbeat against her back, beating slowing but
soundly, lulling her to sleep.

Later
Draco woke a while later, feeling more refreshed then he'd felt since the start of the year. Realising he had his arms wrapped around his head counterpart, he slowly removed his arm and moved quietly off, what he now saw was Hermione's bed, He'd fallen
asleep last night, after the internal battle both he and Hermione had luckily won. Checking that the barrier was still strong around the Veela, he could tell that it was sleeping at the moment, for how long he didn't know, but knew he didn't want
it to wake up right now, or it would be beyond pissed at both him and it's mate.
Placing another protective barrier around it, just as a precaution Draco looked down at his teenage crush sleeping peacefully.

He'd never thought he'd have fallen in love with her not once but twice, how? Third year after she'd punched him rather hard in the nose, the Veela had weakly woken that day, sensing it's mate nearby. Draco had felt the Veela use it's aura to try find
it's mate, but had fallen back to sleep, weak from the rather rude wake up call. What he could sense from the Veela was that it had a vague idea that it's mate was at Hogwarts, but not who or what house they were in, only it's mate went to the same
school.. He informed his Father of this sudden change in him, but reframed from explaining who was responsible or how it happened, just saying that he'd been having this strange feeling lately inside him, that he should be searching for someone at
Hogwarts, to make him whole, like his other half was someone that went to the same school as him. His Father had replied immediately, saying he should come home as soon as the school holidays started, that it was a family matter not meant to be said
in a letter.

He'd started searching for his mate after that. For a whole year he'd learnt to get used to the sense of different smells, and emotions radiating around the halls, he learnt to block those things out, overtime that year his Father had sent him books regarding
a Veela's duty to it's mate. He read them in the library after hours when he could, sneak away from the Slytherin Dorms, whist avoiding Filch and his mangy cat Mrs Norris.

Forth Year was the worst awakening cause it happened twice. The first time he'd spotted Hermione with Victor Krum in the library, leaning too closely for the Veela's liking. 'He'd' woken up angry wanting to rip and tear the Bugarien to pieces that Draco
had had to use one of the barrier spells he'd read in one of the books, it was painful a whole fucking lot, but eventually the Veela had been encased in the barrier, Draco escaped from the library, having to calm the Veela down in the boys dormitory,
before all hell broke loose and his Veela went on a rampage looking for it's mate. Draco had figured out after calming the Veela that his intended mate was Hermione. He wouldn't inform his Father about this, he'd be punished till he was near death,
before he'd receive the same punishment again and again, for a month if he was lucky. Second time was during the Yule Ball, he'd had Pansy as his date, since she wouldn't stop nagging him to take her, which he agreed to, just to shut her up about
it. He'd been in a fowl mood that night, having to put up with Pansy clinging onto his arm, while she dragged him around as she flaunted herself showing off her near inappropriate dress, McGongall had given her a stern look, but let them through.
Draco knew Pansy would get a whole 2 maybe 3 month of detention for her violation of the Yule Ball dress code and 50 or 100 points off Slytherin.
Draco was about to make an excuse to Pansy when suddenly everyone went quiet and heads were turning towards the stairs. What Draco saw when he turned around that night, he'd be wanking off tonight thanks to his Veela's hormones going into overdrive.
Through the Veela's eyes Hermione looked radiant,angelic,pure. Draco had to blink a few times to get himself out of the stupor he and proberly most of the other students had been, but what had ruined it was when he saw Krum kiss her hand and guide her
to the floor for the Triwizard Tournament competitors to start off the first dance. He'd been fuming after that and had left early, leaving Pansy to flirt and dance with whoever, he didn't care, his night had been ruined.

He was about to head for the stairs when he caught the Bloody Golden Trio right where he wanted to make his exit, hiding behind a pillar Draco looked to the side to see if he could catch what was going on.

R – Ron
Ha – Harry
Her – Hermione

R – Hermione he's an enemy
Her – Oh stop it Ron, it was only a dance
R – That's what he wanted you to think, then use you to gather information
Her – Is that all you think I am a bloody dictionary that's only good for getting information, didn't you think that for once in my life I'd like to dress nicely and pretend that for once a guy was actually interested in me, didn't you think that
maybe I would have wanted, someone like you to invite me to the Yule Ball.

R – Hermione I just… I didn't think that you'd

Her – Honestly Ron, that's what your good at, not thinking, always jumping to conclusions, sometimes your wrong, and one of those times was tonight, Victor only asked me cause I was the only girl to shamelessly flirt with him or act like a bloody tart,
NEXT TIME RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY, WHY DON'T YOU GROW A PAIR AND JUST ASK ME!

Ha – Hermione wait, Ron didn't mean to not
But Hermione ignored Harry's words, she didn't want to hear his excuse for Ron's stupidity, she just wanted to get back to the Gryffindor girls dormitory, and back to her usual plain jane, book worm self.
Hiding her face, knowing there would be tears Hermione ran up the stairs, away from the two most precious friends she had, now she hated for their ignorance, stupidity and just plain boyish behaviour.
Draco could see that this was something that would be good gossip to his fellow Slytherin friends, but for some reason, a feeling inside told him that he shouldn't do that, although his head said to go back to his friends and tell them what he'd just
witnessed, his heart gave him a nudge to forget that idea.

Draco muttered to himself that he'd forget it, fight between his head and his heart was giving him a headache, he'd go back to Slytherin dorm, drown himself in a bottle of firewhisky, and deal with his headache tomorrow.

Present time
Draco came back from remembering all those years age, the good times and bad times, all leading up to this moment. He'd found out who his mate had been back then but had been in denial, causing the Veela to fight back as well as gain one hell of a personality,
as well as a sick twisted sense of what it considered mating ensured, Draco considered it more as a fucking rape cum fest, that's when he'd decided to not let the Veela have it's way. True, it had been his fault for being in denial for so long, but
the Veela had lost it's sense of purpose, choosing it's own sick way's over what was meant to be a strong bond, two creatures becoming one, a friendship like bond that would last as long as both had trust in their other half.

He smiled down at the girl next to him, he grinned a little when he saw her stir a little, then tried not to laugh as he saw her grumble at the loss his body heat must've been giving off.
Draco, slowly laid back down slowly into the bed covers, wrapping his arms around her, letting her know in her sleep that his comforting warmth wasn't going anywhere yet.
Letting his body relax, knowing that he would have to send for breakfast, Draco let himself have this private moment of watching his love sleep peacefully, snuggling up to him, unaware of the view she was giving him.
Draco blushed slightly thinking that Hermione would give him the fowl beating and hex off his balls if she was awake. Relishing this moment, Draco smiled to himself as he kissed Hermione on her forehead, watching over as she slept soundly in his arms.
