chapter 11

Draco was antsy. He just couldn't keep still. The thought of maybe he would find his mate tonight, was so nerve wracking.

Finally after what seemed like days, the aurors finally arrived.

"Lets go over the plan once again" said the minister, Kingsley Shacklebolt. He was holding out a map of the area with a bunch of X's on it. "Dumbledore, you put up anti-apparation wards up while I, Dumbledore, and Dawlish go to the front door. Draco and Harry" the two boys made a face "go to the left window over there" He said as he pointed to an X on the map.

"Ginny and Ron go to the opposite window. Neville and Seamus go to the back door with Hawlish. Proudfoot and Savage cover the outer gate. Okay everyone grab their brooms." He instructed.

Draco mounted his firebolt. The whole group soared off into the sky. It was a quiet night around 7 pm and it took them 5 hours to get there.

The plot of land was rather unimpressive, but there was a huge manor in the middle.

"Okay, everyone be as quiet as you can and go to your positions. Albus, the wards please?" Kingsley asked.

Draco and Harry went to their positions. But Draco knew once they were in, he would tear the house apart looking for his mate. He could faintly smell her, although very, very faint.

Kingsley knocked on the door. Low and behold, Greyback answered. They quickly stunned the wolf and ran into the manor, with Draco hot on their heels.

He turned into a full dracken. His claws came out, scales all over his body, teeth canine sharp, his wings coming out fully. He was a dracken and an angry one at that. If there was anything worse than an angry veela, it was an angry dracken.

He picked up his mate's scent and ran towards it. Going almost 30 miles per hour, so fast the others couldn't catch up.

He quickly found Dolohov's room. Dolohov was curled around Hermione, both practically half naked.

Draco's breathing was coming out in long gasps. He was going to kill Dolohov and nothing was going to stop him.

He roared so loud, the walls vibrated. Dolohov and Hermione woke up in a start. Dolohov quickly reaching for his wand. Hermione diving under the covers frightened.

Dolohov sent Draco his infamous curse that he sent to Hermione at the ministry of magic.

But Draco's wings absorbed the spell and did not harm him. He quickly took Dolohov by the neck. Dolohov kept shooting spells at him, but it did not harm him.

Draco released a howl of victory. His huge claws digging into Antion's neck, choking and piercing his neck. Hermione decided it was time to hurt the dragon man that was about to kill her mate!

She quietly got out of bed, not that they would notice. She looked around for her wand, but soon realized it was no where to be found. She than picked up a sword that was on the wall. She hit the dragon in its back; but to her surprise, it did nothing to him.

The creature quickly turned around and flung Antion against the wall so hard, it made a huge dent and knocked him out.

Draco focused his eyes towards his mate. His beautiful, sexy, wonderful mate. Forced to be in the presence of that scum Dolohov.

Hermione froze in fright. What was that monster going to do to her?! She quickly backed up and raised the sword threateningly.

"w-what do you want from me Malfoy!?" Hermione trembled.

Draco recoiled. Malfoy. She spat his name like it was poison. What had that monster done to her? His beautiful mate.

Draco's heart contracted painfully. He whimpered in sadness, his mate hates him, whats wrong?

"Hermione, its me, Draco. Your real mate" Draco said slowly moving towards her, his heart aching.

"NO! Your not my mate Malfoy! Antion is." She said fiercely running around Draco to kneel beside Antion's body. She pushed his hair out of his face lovingly kissing his head. That was the last straw.

Draco bellowed loudly. HIS MATE WAS TOUCHING AND KISSING ANOTHER MALE! He and is dracken seethed, much more angry than livid.

Just than the others ran in. "We heard you Draco and followed your voice" Harry panted, hands on his knees breathing hard.

Kingsley quickly put Hermione under a controlled sleep. Draco growled in his chest as a warning.

"Calm down Mr. Malfoy, I just put her under a light sleep until we can get her to St. Mungos." Kingsley explained

The small group quickly apparated to St. Mungos.

"We need a room for a Miss. Granger" Draco said to the woman at the desk angrily.

She looked a little flustered and lustful. Damn his dracken charms, Draco thought.

"Oh yes Mr. Malfoy," The woman said breathlessly. Draco just thought she was annoying.

'annoying bint' He growled under his breath as they walked to Hermione's room.

"put her here" said healer Robinson gesturing to the bed in the room. He was a rather attractive looking man, with flawless, chocolate skin and sparkling brown eyes. A whisper of a tattoo was shown on his shoulder and neck. His arms bulged a bit due to all his muscle.

An older woman, a nurse, soon walked in.

"I want another healer" Draco said darkly. Everyone looked rather alarmed.

"I'm sorry Mr. Malfoy, but Healer Robinson is the best in the field of mates." said the nurse "I know its hard to accept a male being around your mate, but for the sake of her health, we need Healer Robinson." her tone holding no room for arguments. Draco just sat next to the bed Hermione was occupying and grumbled to himself.

"So what seems to be the problem?" asked Healer Robinson pulling out a quill and some parchment papers. He was very cheerful and didn't seem bothered by the fact that Draco didn't want him to be the healer of his mate.

"she was taken from me by that bastard Dolohov!" Draco spat "speaking of which, what did you ever do to him?" He asked

"we arrested him and he is sent to the ministry awaiting a trial, along with Greyback" Seamus said in his thick accent.

Draco nodded, although wishing he would be able to kill him. As a dracken, he had high blood lust.

"She was taken to his manor and when we got there, she thought he was her mate, not me" Draco said angry

"let me run some tests to see whats up. What is she exactly?" He asked

"a veela" Draco replied holding his mate's hand.

"I have a couple of theories. One, she could have been obliviated. Two, she could have been poisoned and threatened. And three, she could have been fed a potion.

Draco hated all these suggestions.

"We will have to run some tests to see" Healer Robinson said. At that moment, Hermione woke up suddenly, very scared.

Draco got up to hold her but she glared at him. Draco whimpered. "Harry, Kingsley, Seamus, where am I? Where is Antion?" Hermione said worried.

"Calm down Mione. Your at St. Mungos. This is is Healer Robinson, and Antion is at the ministry awaiting a trial" Harry said soothingly.

"WHAT!? WHERE IS ANTION!?N HES MY MATE!" Hermione screamed.

"shh, calm down Ms. Granger" the Healer said, and after 3 minutes she did calm down.

Hermione sat breathing heavily and dry heaving. Draco wanted desperately to hold his mate and comfort her, but she would never allow him. His heart was hurting so badly, he was crying on the inside for his mate. All he wanted was his mate to be back and for them to live in peace and for all the males to go away and stay away. He couldn't give two shits about anyone, except his mother, his father, and his mate. Even than, his mate will always come first.

"we think you either have been obliviated, poisoned, or had been fed a potion. Now, how far can you remember back?" He asked Hermione

"well, I was sitting in a basement when my mate Antion came and got me and we had a lovely dinner." Hermione said a matter-of-factly.

Robinson hummed in acknowledgment. "Well, she hasn't been obliviated. And I don't think that she could have been poisoned. So we should run some test to see if she has been fed a potion. My guess is that she had been" Robinson said.

He casted a spell that shows if there had been a potion in the last week, and what potion.

She glowed green, indicating she had been fed a potion. Than the words servus et mutatio in elegant script.

"I'm sorry Ms. granger, but you have been fed a potion called servus et mutatio. It is latin for mate changer." Robinson said

"w-what? Does that mean Antion isn't my mate and that he fed me a potion to believe I'm his mate?" Hermione asked, Robinson nodded gravely.

Hermione burst out crying. Her veela was so confused. She thought Antion was her mate, but he isn't and Draco Malfoy is. Why, oh why couldn't she be normal?

Draco hugged her to him and she didn't pull away. His dracken felt a sliver of hope.

"Now, there is a potion to reverse this potion and flush it out of her body. It takes a couple of hours to work fully and a couple of tripes to the loo" He said

"when can we get this potion?" Draco demanded.

"In a couple of minutes. I just need to consult my potions master. But I have to warn you, the potion is very expensive" Robinson said

"money is no objection" Draco said. The Malfoy vault is so vast, 60 generations could live generously off of it without working.

Healer Robinson called his potions master to the room and they talked for a wile. He said he brewed the potion a little bit ago and he could get it right away.

"How much is it?" Draco asked

"5 million galleons" The potion master said

Draco shrugged, that was barley a dent out of his family fortune. It was like one sent to him.

"Okay, put it on the Malfoy tab" He said and the potions master nodded and left to get the potion.
