Chapter 8

"Well don't just sit there Ron Weasely let's go to our class, come on Hermione" Hally grinned letting the two join their group heading out of the Great Hall for Hagrid's class near his hut.

Care of Magical Creatures Hagrid's Hut

The Gryffindors waited along with the Slytherins for Hagrid to come out of his hut talking quietly amongst their selves wondering what the day's lesson will hold for them. Hally stood beside her brother on his right while she stood on Draco's left holding his hand giggling with Hermione over some news about Seamus hiding from the day before to keep from being attacked by Peeves. Hagrid walked out of his hut with Fang His big black dog noticing Hally holding Draco's hand beaming with pride at the wonderful sight.

"Good Mornin' class," Hagrid greeted with a toothy grin on his face hearing greetings from both houses waiting patiently.

"Terdays lesson we will be learning about…."

"One guess says he'll teach us about something dangerous again," Millicent Bulstrode whispered sniggering with several other Slytherins

"Veela" Hagrid announced proudly getting the twins' attention "uh-oh" they muttered in unison with wide eyes.

"Uh Hagrid may I be excused? I don't feel well" Hally requested wearily while Draco sniggered at her comment. Hagrid scratched his head at first pondering on her request "blimey Hally you don' look like yer ill, no you look well to me, now then we 'ave many types of veela from different regions of our world, and we happen ter have a set o' twins righ' here. Harry, Hally would you two please come up?" Hagrid requested grinning sheepishly at them.

The two sighed in defeat before heading up to where Hagrid stood, Hally pouted slightly at him, "Aw now Hally we do need a female veela and yer it, I promise nothing wrong will happen ter yew," Hagrid assured her. Hally dragged her feet towards his way after giving Draco a small kiss on the cheek standing beside her big brother hearing whispers from both houses, while Draco made sure he stood in the front of the class with Ron, and Hermione for a better view, he wanted to know more on the veela breed than from the books he had read from home, and since his mate was a veela it couldn't hurt to learn more from her…right?

"righ', now that we have our veela here, could anyone tell me anything about them?" Hagrid inquired from the class. He gave out a look of surprise seeing Draco's hand go up as well as Hermione's. "Mr. Malfoy if you would,"Hagrid requested shocking the students, "Malfoy?" they exclaimed in surprise looking at Draco as though he went ill just then. Hally looked his way innocently staying silent wanting to know what he knew as well. "They are temperamental creatures, they protect their young as well as their mates when someone or something goes near them in a threatening manner" Draco answered Hagrid's question.

Hagrid beamed over the answer proudly, "correct Mr. Malfoy ten points to Slytherin for a job well done," Hagrid announced seeing the grins from his housemates. "What else would be different from us and veela Mr. Malfoy," Hagrid pressed waiting for his reply.

Hermione once more raised her hand anxiously getting a slight nudge from Draco who rolled his eyes grinning at her actions. "Hey…" Hermione grinned blushing softly while Hally giggled over the playful manner, "Mr. Malfoy" Hagrid called once more getting his attention.

"They have wings sir," Draco answered seeing Hermione drop her mouth open in shock realizing that he knew that information. "Correct, five more points to Slytherin," Hagrid announced to the class "Malfoy! Who knew," Hermione grinned along with Ron. Hagrid continued with the lesson while their class was observing the twins, until Hagrid requested them to take their robes off and reveal their wings.

"Don't want to," Hally pouted shyly from his request

"Me either," Harry agreed crossing his arms

"Come on yew two please," Hagrid, begged them both

They looked at each other at first whispering over the options, the students were in awe over their antics. "Want energy boosts," they requested to him

"Deal and done already waiting for yew both," He promised seeing them take their robes off laying them on the fence.

Their wings appeared before the class flapping gently creating a cool breeze from the warm February thaw. Soon whispers became quiet talk on the twins seeing their wings before their very eyes, as questions started coming forth suddenly.

"Can they fly with those?"

"Why the color difference on their wings, Meaning why does Harry have green and Hally has silver colored wings?"

That question stirred everyone's curiosity, including Draco, Ron, and Hermione

"Well the difference with the color are this, the darker the color, the more dominant the breed, meaning Harry here is a dominant to where Hally here is not. Hally has an obedience to her to where if she was ordered by her mate to behave, then Hally will have no choice but to behave. Simple really even her brother would have to get her to listen and follow the rules…"

"Hagrid," Hally warned raising her eyebrows up at him

"Sorry Hally," Hagrid chuckled while the class giggled from the scene

"However obedience or not when another let's say….ah! Mr. Weasely here was to order Hally here to do something, Hally will refuse the order simply because he is not her mate or her brother. Let's have an example here….Mr. Goyle if you would, please give Hally an order here," Hagrid threw the request out as the students seen the twins grin evilly waiting.

Goyle stood in front of Hally sniggering, "I can do this…Go get my books," Goyle ordered her turning around at Draco, and the class looking smugged. The next thing they knew Hally squealed out in laughter pointing at Goyle as if he was nothing.

"Get them yourself gorilla," She sneered at him in laughter

Goyle whirled her way, blush creeping up to his cheeks, "Why you…"

"No Mr. Goyle don' get her angry, however five points to yer house for the demonstration. Now Mr. Malfoy if yew would to show the difference here," Hagrid replied seeing Draco step forward. Hally faced him still laughing at Goyle, "Hally pick up my books," Draco ordered her. Hally stopped laughing, went to where his backpack sat, lifted it up, and walked back standing in her place holding his pack.

"Oh no way!" the students cried out in awe watching Hally hold Draco's pack grinning at him happily. "And tha' students is the difference there. Now the wings, we already discussed the difference in their colors between them…yes Miss. Bulstrode?" Hagrid inquired seeing Millicent's hand raise up.

"Sir, why are their wings a different color from each others? I mean they are twins Professor, why is that?" Millicent asked with interest, the other students agreed to the question waiting patiently for the answer.

"Well tha' is a very funny thing, no one knows why tha' is. It was never recorded in the history books simply because they never reveal them in the public eye," Hagrid answered her truthfully.

"Hagrid may I?" Harry inquired to Hagrid raising his hand. Hagrid nodded his approval standing in his place not far from them.

Harry took a deep breath before he spoke, "Our colors are different simply because of one thing… the colors are our mates favourite colors, so therefore it is to show us or rather tell us who our mates are," Harry explained to the class seeing Draco's eyebrow go up in surprise from his news.

Hermione looked confused at first, "wait, you mean to tell us it is part of your allurement Harry?" Hermione inquired at him. Harry gave her a big grin, "Yeah exactly like Hermione, but it just helps us, I mean we get this image in our minds on who our true mates are, but the color of our wings helps us…Malfoy what is your favourite color?" Harry questioned Draco

"Actually Potter My favourite colors are black and silver, but Hally doesn't have black in her wings," Draco answered him. Harry let out a snigger.

"Yes she does Malfoy at the tips of her wings take a look for yourself," Harry told him with a grin.

Draco walked behind Hally taking a closer look at her wings. His eyes went wide briefly looking back at her brother.

"Malfoy?" Hermione asked anxiously

"Oh man she does! Now that is so cool…Hey! Potter has black on his tips too!" Draco exclaimed in awe hearing the student's excitement all the while Hagrid smiled proudly, he never thought the lesson would get this much response from the class like this.

"So Harry who is your soulmate?" Hermione inquired tweaking everyone's interest listening.

"Yeah big brother who is it?" Hally drilled wanting to know as well herself.

"Uh…that is for me to know…"

"Harry James…"

"Fine, it is Blaise Zabini," Harry answered seeing Blaise look his way in shock

"Me!" Blaise cried out in surprise from his announcement

"Well yeah you sugar snake you," Harry grinned devishly at her watching her blush at him.

"Sugar snake? Blaise, what did you do to my brother?" Hally teased at her Slytherin friend giggling

"Stop it Hally," Blaise blushed a deeper red slightly as the students laughed quietly

"Ok Blaise I'll stop, Hagrid you can continue if you want," Hally grinned letting Hagrid take control of his class once more.

Hogwarts 12:00 P.M. lunch Great Hall

By lunchtime the entire school had observed the twins from Hagrid,'s class talking about their wings, and finding out about Harry's soulmate. Not one student had problems with Blaise being she was a nice girl who always spoke politely to everyone when she passed him or her in the hall or corridors between classes. The professors had gotten wind of this news speaking quietly coming to an agreement on putting them in different quarters as well for the student's sake. Severus after hearing the news sat with pride over his twins' choice of mates, being that they came from his house of course.

Several students giggled, while several just could not believe the fact that Harry, and Hally both had wings. Although they never showed them in the open, they allowed them to be seen in Hagrid's class for their lesson. However, a couple of students did not like the news over their chosen mates, Pansy Parkinson was one since she could not put her claws into Draco for his families fortune, the other was Chow Chang from Ravenclaw, she still could not get over from what had happened between her, and Harry last school year. She never thought that Harry would get on with his life after she ran out of the café on Valentines Day last year, leaving a confused, and hurt Harry Potter there yelling, begging for her to come back after the conversation between them didn't go so well.

Terri Boot her housemate noticed her mood shaking his head solemnly at her, "Cho, you did run out on him last year, but his allurement could not be helped, it is the veela part of him that chooses the mate, not his human part," Terri pointed out to her.

"I know this Terri, but I can't help it. I could have went back to listen to him, and I didn't," Cho replied sighing quietly.

"Cho, look what's done is done, you can't go back to just fix it, Zabini is his mate and well, there is nothing anyone can do about it girl. You'll find someone new don't worry about it," Terri assured her cheering her up a bit.

"Thanks Terri, but I still need to put this behind me," Cho grinned before continuing to eat her lunch.

Pansy on the other hand glared at Hally in anger, 'How dare she steal my Drake away from me,' she thought watching Hally talk to her brother laughing at his teasing over her.

Millicent noticed her glares leaning forward across from her, "One warning Pansy, you ever go near Hally or Draco and I'll tear you apart. You are to leave them alone," she hissed her warning at the golden blonde girl who was sitting across from her at the Slytherin table.

"Who are you to tell me what I can or cannot do Bulstrode?" Pansy questioned in a sneer at the bigger girl who was at least ten to twenty pounds heavier than she was.

"A friend of Draco's and Lady Hex that is who I am and don't you forget it Parkinson," Millicent glared getting several other housemates who sat close to them attention.

"You don't scare me Bulstrode, besides Mr. Malfoy doesn't like her anyway," Pansy smugged at her.

"Oh? Please tell me the reason Miss. Parkinson," a voice requested behind her. Pansy turned around seeing Lucius stand behind her, hearing every word that she had said.

"But you do sir…"

"What I had said before is not irrelevant. However, this situation here at hand has put me into a place to where I can over look the past. Since you love to tell past quotes to fellow students, why don't you tell them the situation about your family's dilemma for once and leave others alone," Lucius commented with a stone face at the girl. Millicent let out a snigger from hearing him put Pansy in her place at that moment.

"Miss Bulstrode, please make sure Miss Parkinson does stay away from Miss Potter, and my son from here on out. Oh and please make sure to inform the rest of your house, since this reluctant young lady cannot accept the fact that my son is off limits to her," Lucius requested heading to the staff table.

"Yes sir," Millicent simply said grinning evilly at Pansy while she paled at the order he gave her.

Lucius stood in front of the table facing Severus getting his attention, "Severus we will see you and your family tomorrow afternoon as well as our son," Lucius informed him seeing Severus nod his approval. He whipped back around walking out, but not before, he stopped at the end of the Slytherin table looking at Hally intently. She looked up at him in surprise at first, but remained silent.

He took out a wrapped box with a silver ribbon tied around it putting the gift down in front of her, "For you Miss Potter, my wife and I felt that this would suit your beauty," He announced waiting for her response.

Hally unwrapped the gift opening the velvet box noticing an emerald necklace containing diamonds encrusted around it. She looked up in surprise at him, "thank you, it's beautiful sir," Hally told him sincerely. "Your most welcome young lady, we will see you tomorrow at noon," He told her, nodded, and then left the school returning home.

Saturday 12:00 P.M. Hogwarts

Severus stood outside of the school waiting with Harry, Hally, and Draco for the visit of Draco's parents. They seen them walk their way on the grounds while Hally fidgeted, feeling nervous on meeting Draco's mother being noticed by him, and her family.

"Calm down Raven, it is only a visit not a trial," Severus insisted to her as she took a deep breath, trying her best to calm down.

They stood before them in that instant just as she looked up seeing Narcissa look slightly down at her quietly while Lucius shook Severus' hand in greeting. He too turned looking down at Hally noticing that she was indeed wearing the gift they had bought for her from Diagon Alley.

"Narcissa this is Raven, Hally Potter to the rest of the wizarding world," Severus introduced Hally to Draco's mother seeing her nod at him looking back at his daughter.

"Miss Potter pleased to be honoured in meeting you here," Narcissa commented politely

"Pleased to meet you as well Mrs. Malfoy," Hally greeted in return noticing a small child in her arms looking at her curiously. Lucius noticed this, but kept quiet watching her reaction.

Hally looked up at Draco in wonder, "I did not know you had siblings," She exclaimed to him quietly.

"Just the Slytherins knows since they are the only ones who visit Hally, she is my baby sister. Does that bother you?" Draco questioned her

"No, she's cute," Hally grinned shocking his parents on her reaction, they though she would sneer at the little girl.

Draco's little sister let out a giggle getting her attention, Hally looked back at her and smiled warmly. "Mummy who dis?" the little girl asked her mother grinning.

"Delia this is Hally Potter sweeting, she is going to be a part of our family," Narcissa explained to the little girl gently.

"She pweedy mummy, she has a very pweedy face like you," Delia told her mother.

This made Hally blush three shades of pink. "Hally your blushing," Harry teased his little sister in a chuckle. "Stop it Harry," Hally blushed grinning hiding her face in Draco's shoulder.

The Malfoy's observed Hally's reaction to the compliment, so far so good from their observation. Severus opened the front doors of the school just then smiling over Hally's predicament, "Shall we everyone? I believe their tower has more than enough room for this visit for us here," Severus suggested letting them go in first.

"Raven you are blushing by the way, oh and you will be fine from what I had seen so far," Severus grinned letting her inside before him as he closed the front doors of the school.

Hally's and Draco's tower 12:15 P.M.

The Malfoy's looked around the tower at every detail noticing the furnishings inside, they were quite impressed as well as surprised. They figured Hally to be one for soft pastel colors, however the furnishings were in soft, black leather (sofas as well as the chairs) the tables were of a rare oak design, the walls were a warm green color with grey trimmings around the borders. The floors were a grey marble with green oriental rugs with silver designs on them.

"Oh my, doesn't Miss. Potter feel uncomfortable with these Slytherin colors Severus?" Narcissa inquired in surprise watching for Hally to have a complex.

"No Narcissa, Raven is more comfortable with these colors as well as Conner here. It is the soft colors that make her quite uncomfortable," Severus explained to them seeing Lucius raise his eyebrows up in surprise.

"Well this is a surprise here. A Gryffindor who enjoys Slytherin colors instead of her own house colors," Lucius commented seeing Hally shudder from his comment.

"Eww, don't like those colors," Hally replied wrinkling her nose like a tiny mouse.

Draco laughed at the look on her face, "Hally that was so cute, do it again. You looked like a cute little mouse," Draco grinned seeing her wrinkle her nose like a tiny mouse once more.

"Draco mind your manners son, now then Severus since we have an agreement here on Miss. Potter marrying our son, when will the wedding take place? I will not spare any expense here when it comes to my son's well being," Lucius requested

"They want to at least wait a year from now Lucius on the wedding," Severus answered him seeing Hally feel a bit uncomfortable over the conversation.

"Oh come now Severus why so long?" Lucius pressed noticing as well

"Because Raven feels that she is still too young to start a family quite soon Lucius, and I must agree with their decision," Severus sighed his answer

"I see. Well being married does not mean that you have to start a family soon Miss. Potter, it can help stable you for the time being," Lucius replied

"Father…"

"Now son I am only stating a fact…"

"I can't get married right away sir," Hally intervened

"Why not, is my son not worthy enough to you yet…"

"I never said that!" Hally yelled suddenly

"Then why the wait…"

"Because I have to under go several tests with the Ministry!" Hally boomed then looked away in silence. Draco looked at her quietly before turning her towards him, "Hally why?" He asked her. Severus sat back in his chair watching the two, "Tell them why Raven," Severus ordered seeing her look over at him in shock.

"Dad…"

"Tell them," He pressed as she sighed in defeat

"The female nostradomus you've read about in the Daily Prophet is me. I took an exam in divination last year. My ranks were high, extremely high. I have to be recorded at the ministry because of it, that and being veela there is a prophecy about twin veelas being royalty….please don't act like you do not know sir I know that you do, and we are them just so you know. My position has to meet several other mystical creatures one being day walkers and they expect no less from me. They will be making their selves known quite soon, but me waiting a year to marry your son has nothing to do with him not being worthy of me, because he is more than worthy of me sir, and I do not want him harmed at all," Hally explained in details to them.

Silence reigned in the tower for the moment until Lucius spoke out once more.

"My, we are full of surprises here, very well a year then. For someone such as you, you sure know how to speak your mind," Lucius commented

"So now you know Lucius…"

"Dad they'll show up tomorrow," Hally intervened suddenly wearing a creased forehead

"I'll inform Dumbledore first thing Raven, Anything else?" Severus pressed

Hally started to grin just then, "Yeah, guess who gets caught real soon?" Hally riddled the question seeing Harry look her way very quickly.

"Please, please tell me it is who I think it is?" Harry asked excitedly

"Conner!" Severus warned

"Yep, it is rat man," Hally sniggered

"Raven!"Severus boomed

"What?" the twins asked innocently hearing Draco cackle in laughter

"Mmm… damn twins…all right Raven I know that look on your face what else did you see?" Severus drilled seeing the look on Hally's face.

Hally turned towards Draco smiling, "Uh-oh, dad I think her vision changed on her," Harry grinned at his sister.

"You snitch!" Hally teased hearing chuckles from Severus, while Lucius grinned

"Do you want to wait or…."

Draco looked at her reading her expression, "Why?" he asked her

"Because my time at the ministry will only be during the beginning of our spring break," Hally informed him nodding at him smiling.

"Hally are you sure about this now? Because I will not back out on this," Draco told her

"I am very sure, anyway I for one won't see pinky try anything with you," Hally answered him.

"All right Hally we'll do this after this school year, Professor?" Draco asked waiting for his approval

"Finally my own godson taking over control of my daughter, permission granted," Severus chuckled hearing Hally squeal excitedly, then hugged him, "Provided that you both understand that this tower will be your temporary home next year," He added to them both seeing Lucius nod in agreement.

"Good now then the plans…" Lucius began while they sat down to discuss the wedding for them.

A/N: That is it for chapter 8 everyone. Next up the meeting with the day walkers. Since I am writing this story, don't feel bad if I skip the next chapter in short sections. Bye for now.
