Mate of A Veela/Siren: Chapter 10,30 April, but sometimes on 1 May, or about halfway between
the spring equinox and the summer solstice

(Disclaimer, See Chapter 1, and on with the story!)

It had been a couple of weeks since Samantha's and Peppermint's attack, all the girls' were on their guard, the professors were tirelessly working on this who could be the guilty party and why? It seemed there was a pattern, that both Samantha and Peppermint have a lot in common, one they are almost built the same, two they are best friends, three they are both in Syltherin house, and four... what was the fourth? The attacker seemed to know their habits, or that person seemed to wish to hurt them.

Peppermint, who recovered from her physical wounds, was released from the hospital wing, her description was identical to Samantha's, both were trying to remember anything abnormal about that mask. Sadly they couldn't get a good look at him, and who knew what will happen? Samantha had moved in with Lucius in his private rooms, as planned after the attack Lucius had said 'He would burn in hell before anyone hurts you again, Samantha,' The girl had thought that it was endearing, and loving of Lucius to say that.

Samantha and Peppermint, were hanging around Draco, and Sid Toni, and Harry and Krystia along with Hermione, anyone could be next... everyone was on high alert, when Samantha and Peppermint had said that the person had attacked them both with a rusty death eater dagger. There had to be an explanation, about the question is how they were able to slip in and out without going undetected? Hermione had snapped her head over at Harry, ''Harry how is the search for your cloak?'' Samantha had remembered Harry did say something about the cloak that he had inherited from his father James Potter.

''Not good Mione, Draco has been helping me but we've come up with nothing,'' As the boy had completed his story and slipped an arm around Krystia's waist, she had leaned in and smiled, Samantha who was getting stares and points and whispers, was trying to ignore them. Samantha growled in annoyance, and shoved her stuff in her red bag, and took off causing Draco to worry and follow. After the blonde younger Veela/Siren had exited, he had followed Samantha to talk to her, sniffing for her scent and tracking her; hoping that nothing will happen to his father's mate anymore than the previous night.

As Samantha exited the study hall, she ran until she had gotten to the bridge and sat on one of the rails, and started to cry, she hated this- deep down she wanted peace, was that so wrong to want for yourself once in a while? Even though Rita Skeeter had printed a retraction, and apologized to Samantha, it wasn't enough! Then the attack upon herself and her best friend, Samantha had slowly started to shake her head from side to side for the past few seconds. Allowing her tears to fall, allowing the autumn wind to play with her hair, ''It's so peaceful, quiet...'' She had whispered quietly to herself...

When she had heard a cold unfeeling voice, that belonged to a male, ''You don't heed things too well do you... for a Syltherin?'' Samantha had hopped down from her place and to face Ron with Pansy flanking his left and Crabbe and Goyle to his right. Samantha's hand had gone in for her wands, ''What do you pea brains want?'' The girl had asked annoyed Ron, who had his arm around Pansy took it off, and slowly started to walk to her, ''I heard you got beat up, you ok?'' The red headed teen had asked rudely, while the other three chuckled.

Samantha had noticed that something was off on Ron, she had looked into his eyes, and sensed something that she didn't like, ''Weasle, is our King, he always lets the Quaffle in, creative song by one Draconis Michael Malfoy.'' Ron sneered, ''Mind your attitude slut!'' Draco who was running to see, he immediately ran to Samantha's side, ''Hey Samantha! Weasle bee? They allow the poor people here?'' Samantha had to giggle at Draco's snide comment.

''Oh and Ronny-kins! You told me to mind my attitude right? Well at least 'I' can afford an attitude, unlike you who needs a hand me down personality!'' Samantha had said while allowing Draco to guide her behind him, due to the fact that her face still had a couple of bruises, on it and her rib was hurting on and off. Ron glared more, and Pansy had stepped forward pissed off at Draco, ''You could've had me... but you chose that skank mud blood!'' It was Draco's turn to glare.

It was wrong to piss off a teenage Veela/Siren, that alone was suicide, pissing off Veela/Sirens in general you had to be wanting a death wish; Draco's trademark eyes were glowing like Lucius's eyes were, Samantha, who had seen many things, however this was not normal no where near by a long shot. Draco was going to go in a blood shedding spree, Samantha had grabbed Draco's sleeve, ''Come on Draconis,'' While trying to tug him away ''What did you just say dog?'' Pansy sneered hatefully.

''Desist, you pug! Nasty harlot!'' Samantha noticed that Draco was growing fangs, her eyes widen fearfully, ''Come mate of my elder bloodline,'' Draco had growled out angrily while grabbing Samantha gently making sure that he didn't hurt her. As they were leaving with Samantha's bag in his hand while he give it to her ''Just to let you know Samantha, accidents can happen, just remember, our friendly chat...'' Ron had said while his group were backing away, while he was wrapping his arm around the smirking Pansy.

As Draco was making sure that Samantha was safe, after those 'people' left, his eyes were becoming more and more blood raged red, and his fangs were poking through his mouth, ''Mate, I need, mate...'' Her long time friend had panting out, while running away to find Hermione, leaving a very confused Samantha behind, the raven hared girl stared where Draco had sped off at an inhuman level, ''What was that all about?'' She had asked confused.

As Samantha went to sling her bag over her shoulder the strap had broken and one black book had fallen out ''Damnit!'' She cursed as she had crutched down and gathered the book, to find it opened a page, the page number was 67, and it was titled 'Veela, Vampires, Lycans, and Sirens' By Merlin...

Lycans: Are either born or bitten upon the full moon, watch out for changes in this person's behaviors, such as the 'sudden' disappearance during the period of the full moon, let alone the red blood full moon, Lycans can find mates, but it varies on the lineage.

Vampires: Obvious, changes, however the vampires can limit their time in the sun, muggle crosses do not work upon the creature, only beheaded the beast and setting them a blaze works... when a vampire wants a simple pleasure of the body... sex... they will find someone that interests them, however it's rare that a vampire can have a mate let alone sire a child...

Veelas: Can either be male or female, small similarities between Sirens and Vampires, natural enemy of a blood drinker otherwise than a lycan, characteristics are eyes that change colors at will: just like Sirens and Vampires... Immortal... however the Veela differs, their touch is warm... like us humans... when they see their mate, they will have a great need of them; after they bond with them and spend every moment with them. Veela's can go into their mates dreams and see if their intended is alright, Veelas are fiercely possessive of their mates, on the eve of Beltaine, the same with Sirens, the Veela will take their mate... Beltaine is the 30 April, but sometimes on 1 May, or about halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice

Sirens: Same rules apply with the Sirens like Veelas, however Veelas can not fly- well not often- *Samantha had shivered as the cooler wind blew and wrapped her Syltherin robe around her remembering that Quidditch game against Gryffindor* Sirens can fly, it just varies if their mate- yes Sirens can have mates, see Veelas- however the Siren can speak in their mate's mind and call to them if they have need of them, yes Sirens are fiercely possessive of their mates,
as well as Veelas, if the mate wishes it, and if they desire other things. When it does come down to it, Veelas and Sirens have no real differences.

If you get a rare combination of Veela/Siren, the dominate will know their mate, their mate can hear the Veela/ Siren's voice from time to time, and they can replace dreams, if their mate is troubled with malevolent night terrors; they will take care of their mate. Their mate will see the the Veela/Siren's aura, depending on the lineage, the Veela/Siren's eyes will glow a beautiful gold then silver...

Samantha had perked up at that one...

And the Veela/Siren, if they are holding their mate, can fly or levitate with them in their arms...

Samantha had closed her eyes and allowed a signal tear to fall, ''Samantha...'' She knew that voice, she had turned to see her godmother, ''What are you doing here by yourself, sweetheart? Come here, that's a girl.'' Grabbing her hand and seeing the broken strap on Samantha's bag, ''Mendo,'' Chanted Narcissa, immediately the strap was no longer broken, ''Thank you Narcissa,'' Diana had soon joined them, ''Narcissa, there you two you found her!'' Came Diana's voice, coming to flank Samantha's side.

Narcissa had seen the book in Samantha's hand, she sighed, her goddaughter had found out what the older woman's now ex husband was, ''I know,'' Came Samantha's voice, both women didn't say anything they couldn't Samantha Angelina Snape would find eventually. After they had walked the girl to lunch at the Great Hall, she had sat by Toni and Peppermint, the older Kinta twin was taking his job to protect both Peppermint and Samantha very seriously,
Samantha had looked over at the corner of her ocean blue eye at Lucius...

He, like always was staring at her, she wasn't scared by it- she had looked over at the Gryffindor table to find no site of her cousin Krystia, she naturally saw Hermione and Draco soon joined her otherside; perhaps Lucius did speak to his son about aiding him to protect Samantha, whenever the older man wasn't around. As Samantha was staring over at a worried Harry, who had caught her gaze, both were wondering where could Krystia be? Maybe she had fallen asleep in either Harry's common room that he shared with her, or she had fallen asleep in Gryffindor Common room.

After lunch Sid, Toni, and Draco were flanking Samantha as Hermione - who was sporting a 'love' bite- joined them ''What do you mean you have no idea where my cousin is?!'' Screamed Samantha in shock, placing her hand at her temple, and shutting her eyes. Just then an ear piercing scream had sounded from the dungeon where Samantha had faced Bellatrix the night that the deranged woman had escaped from custody to kill Samantha. The daughter of one Severus Snape, had noticed that she was alone, and slowly and carefully walked down the stairs, she knew the dungeons as well as her father.

Taking out her wands and having her guard up to 'High Alert' looking around and hearing shuffling and muffled sobbing, ''He...lp...'' Samantha had realized who it was... that bastard had crossed the line indefinitely... remembering that Veela/Sirens can communicate with their mates if the mate wishes it, *Lucius?* She had mentally called out while still on her guard, *Angel? Where are you?* Samantha sighed *I am in the dungeons, I think that the attacker is in the dungeons and had Krystia...* Lucius would be on his way, *Stay where you are, inamorata,* Came his word.

Samantha knew that he would be here in no time, she happened to light some more of the dungeons then she saw it... the after math... she screamed, ''NO! Krystia!'' She had fallen at her cousin's side, and cried, while Lucius and the professors had showed up... Lucius had gathered his mate close to him, while the medi witch and Sirius had spelled Krystia on the gerny to the hospital wing... as Samantha had looked up to the wall and saw a warning in Krystia's blood:

'Have your fun, Samantha, Krystia was a joy... too bad Boy wonder Harry Potter could never find out... Soon Samantha I'll come for you... and kill that old bastard...

Signed:

Your Stalker'
