The end of classes meant that his time was running out as the students filed into the dinning hall for dinner. He sat down at he usual spot with his friends and smiled as they joked around but his mind was on Draco. He was having a hard time deciding on if he could stay the whole night with Draco.
Harry realized that fantasizing about Draco and actually having him were two different matters. He had dreamed many times of having Draco smile at him or even talk to him but now it was much more. His mind could barely handle talking to the beauty much less when he was being touched. He had been kissed by the beauty, it was his first.
He had never experienced anything like it. The moment he had felt Draco's lips touch his own he had almost melted. His hands had practically acted on there own. One second he had been stunned and the next he was sinking his hand into Draco's shirt. The moment he had felt Draco's hand under his shirt he had been terrified.
Draco could never love or want him especially when he saw his body uncovered and bare to his eyes. He was covered in scars and his emaciated appearance was not appealing in any way. He would be lucky if he could keep Draco's attention now that they had actually spoken.
He was pulled from his thoughts as he realized that Ron was talking to him. He looked up with a light blush as he realized he had missed the entire conversation and they were all looking at him. Hermione was looking worriedly at him as though she was his mother. It could be annoying sometimes but at least he knew that she cared about what happened to him.
"Sorry I have a lot on my mind at the moment." Harry told them as his face returned to normal.
"Harry what is bothering you? You can talk to us." Hermione told him with a reassuring smile from across the table.
"Yeah mate you have been real quiet since lunch." Ron told them through a mouth stuffed with chicken.
"Actually Ron, Harry has been acting strange since he started getting those letters." Hermione corrected him with a look of disgust at his manners.
"What?" Ron asked confused as to why she was giving him that look. Harry laughed at his friends as he looked over to the Slytherin table and found a smiling Draco looking his way.
"So tell us what is bothering you Harry. We will just keep asking until you do and don't tell me it's school. I know that's not it." Hermione told him with a unyielding stare.
"I found out who the writer is and we are kind of together as of this morning. I just am unsure about the hole thing but its more complicated then just dating." Harry quickly said in an almost forceful voice.
"Who is it Harry?" Hermione asked with a questioning gaze that spoke levels. "What do you mean more complicated then dating?"
"It's Draco." Harry stated in a voice that almost squeaked.
"Don't let him hear you say that!" A voice said from some where down the Gryffindor table but he wasn't sure who.
"That's not funny Harry." Hermione told him with a huff before she returned to her meal angrily. "You already have enough problems with Slytherin."
"I am not joking he said we were mates and that he was a Veela. I have never even heard of such a creature and I don't know what to do." Harry said to her in a more hushed voice.
"A Veela Harry. They are very rare and unlikely creatures but they are well known around the wizarding world." Hermione told him but she still couldn't believe what he was saying.
"What do you know about Veela's Hermione?" Harry asked with a plea in his eyes.
"Well from what I know they are loyal and extremely protective of there mate. They have animal characteristics that differ depending on the breed of Veela. They can also have different powers from normal wizards. Wings are one of the main things that are unchanging, they all have wings." Hermione huffed as she looked over to the Slytherin table. "I would have to do more research to tell you anything more."
"Could you look into it for me I will help but you are the best at this sort of thing." Harry pleaded again with the curly haired girl.
"Harry you have kept a lot of things from us but I really find it hard to believe you right now." Hermione took a deep breath and stood up before smiling down at him. "I will however give you the benefit of the doubt."
Harry watched as she left the dinning hall and headed towards what he could only assume was the library. He watched her until the doors closed before he looked back to Ron. The red head was still eating his fill of dinner were as Harry had not touched a thing.
"Ron I would have expected you to be more surprised by my interest in another male." Harry said as he looked towards Ron.
"Not really its not that strange in the wizarding world. I am sure you are use to muggles looking down on that sort of thing but its normal here. I am not really good at this sort of thing but if you wanna talk..." Ron told him through bites of food.
"I am okay I think but if I need to I will let you know." Harry told him with a smile.
"What are you doing for the winter break Harry? You going back home or coming with me and Gin back to the burrow?" Ron asked as he looked up to him in question.
"I am not sure." Harry had been so distracted by his new relationship that he had forgotten about the winter break.
Harry would rather not go back home but staying at the burrow yet again was not going to happen. He couldn't keep relying on the Weasley's for help after all they barely had anything as it was. He didn't want to stay alone at the school because of the roomers that Adrian was staying as well but it looks like that was his only option at the moment.
Harry looked over to the Slytherin table and watched as Draco stood up a to leave the dinning hall. Harry wanted to follow him so badly but he just didn't know what to do. He didn't even know what went into being the mate a a Veela or even what it was. He had blown his chance to ask more questions but he could always rely on Hermione right.
Harry stood belatedly to follow Draco out into the hall. He was surprised that when he walked through the door Draco was still standing in wait. He wondered offhandedly who Draco could be waiting for. Harry took a quick look around but found they were alone so he decided that he would speak to him for a moment.
"Harry have you decided yet? Will you stay with me tonight?" Draco asked be still wasn't looking towards Harry. He kept his head down to the floor and Harry could only see the side of his face.
"I haven't but I wanted to talk to you. If that's alright?" Harry asked with a little worry in his voice.
"Sure what did you want to talk about?" Draco asked as he moved to stand in front of Harry.
"If I agreed to become your mate what would happen?" Harry asked as he nervously looked from Draco to the floor and back again.
"Whatever you want. I would protect you and make sure you are healthy as well as taken care of. It would be my job and great pleasure to do so." Draco answered with a smile.
"Why would you want to do that Draco. I just don't understand why this is all happening." Harry stated a little louder then he normally would.
"You will find all the answers tonight if you let me." Draco told him with a smirk.
"I don't think I can." Harry said quietly.
"You can Harry the only thing holding you back is you." Draco said with a smile as he moved to stand a bit closer to his intended. "You will never know unless you take the chance."
"Alright then I will stay the night but that's all." Harry said with a little smile that made Draco's smile bigger.
"Did you need anything before we go?" Draco asked with an excited smile.
"I will meet you there." Harry said before he headed back to his room to gather his things. He couldn't help but be a little excited over the thought of staying with Draco even if he was scared at the same time.
Draco made his way back to his room and laughed the whole way. He had never been so happy in his life. He wanted more then anything to finally have Harry as his mate and to be able to protect him fully. He could only do so much now without the mating link it was difficult. He couldn't feel him or tell were he was but soon he would be able to.
Harry smiled the hole way to his room. It wasn't everyday that a beautiful man asked him to stay with him. It was almost like a dream that he would wake up from very soon. He gathered together a small bag of clothes for the night and tomorrow morning. He also grabbed his toiletries and books for his first classes. Once gathered he put them all in a bag and headed back towards the dungeon.
He was almost half way there when he ran across a three very familiar and unwanted people. He tried to turn around and stay unnoticed but he wasn't that lucky. He heard the laughing and immediately knew that it was directed at him.
"Hey Harry playing whore tonight with the Ice Prince?" Adrian asked with a laugh. "Is his dick cold when you suck it?"
Harry tried to run but he felt a tripping spell hit him and a moment later he was face down on the floor. He felt someone pull him up and soon he was being dragged into an empty classroom. He heard the door shut and a click that he could only assume meant he was locked in.
He was pushed onto a desk and he couldn't help as the tears began to slip from his eyes. He did try to fight back but he just wasn't strong enough to put up any fight. He felt his pants being pulled down and he tried to scream but they muted his voice. Harry couldn't believe after all this time that he would finally fine someone only to lose himself to Adrian.
This one was a little short but i think this is the best stopping point. Sorry but i hope you enjoyed.
