His Little Sunshine Chapter 21
Draco and Paislee made it to the Divination tower just in time for their first class of the day with Professor Trelawney. Finding a seat in the back of the room, they began taking out their textbooks and tea leaves that were to be used in today's lesson. Professor Trelawney had taken a particular interest in Paislee ever since the first day of classes. She often stood right next to her desk and watched her as she lectured. It unnerved Draco to no end as he never really thought Divination was anything to brag about. But he was definitely curious as to why their oddball of a professor was interested in his mate. Paislee never seemed to mind the seer's blatant interest in her and always kind and courteous answering any of her questions as she followed along with the lecture. He loved how kind she was to everyone she met, even if they were known to be a bloody fool.
Just as class was about to begin, Blaise and Pansy slipped in and made their way quickly back to where Draco and Paislee sat giving them warm smiles before settling in for the lesson. As their professor started lecturing, Blaise and Pansy leaned over towards the two veela's as he spoke in a conspiratorial whisper. "Heard you two got bloody caught by your parents doing some naughty things. Care to share what happened?" Draco and Paislee's cheeks heated up with a fierce blush before Draco set his face into a glare at their two friends. "How did you find out about that? It's bad enough that it really happened. Don't make it bloody worse by talking about it more. Have mercy on us for Merlin's sake…" Paislee nodded in agreement before turning back to setting up her tea leaves. Blaise and Pansy snickered which Professor Trelawney sent a glare over their way for but quickly quieted down once they knew they had been spotted chatting in class. They all turned their attention back to their professor's lecture as she waved her hands around for emphasis. "Bloody old bird could be Italian with all those fucking hand gestures…." Blaise murmured as he swirled his tea leaves around in his cup with his finger. They all snorted with laughter as quiet as possible at the Italian wizard's observation.
"Now we've come to the exciting part of the class. This is where you must use your divine sight to read your tea leaves and predict your futures. Some of you may not have the required talent for this particular skill." Their professor said as she shot a look of sympathy over at Blaise who just rolled his eyes in response. "And some of you will." She said as she stopped in front of Paislee's desk and looked down at the young witch with an unreadable expression. Draco looked to Paislee who was focusing intensely on her tea leaves as they swirled around in her cup. Suddenly Paislee reached out and touched one of the tea leaves and began to glow with a white light. Draco and their friends watched with horrified expressions as Paislee's eyes fogged over with a clear white before they rolled back into her head as she passed out landing in Draco's arms as he caught her before she hit the ground. Professor Trelawney looked at her in shock before reaching out to touch the now passed out girl. Draco slapped her hand away as he glared up at her before looking down with a worried expression at his mate. "What the bloody fuck did you do to her?! She was fine a moment ago and now she's fucking passed out. I know you did something. That was not fucking normal! And there's no bloody way my mate is a fucking seer. Start talking now or I'll hex you into next Sunday!"
Professor Trelawney was taken aback by his harsh words but gave him a serious look as everyone's gaze fell onto Paislee who looked pale and lifeless in her fiancée's arms. "Two veela mates. One with the sight and one without it. A ying and yang to each other's souls. Your mate is definitely no seer, Mr. Malfoy. She's something much more. The magic in her is complex and ancient. Her kind hasn't been seen in over a thousand years. And she's just had a message from the netherworld which would leave her incredibly tired. Please get Mr. Zambini to assist you in taking her to the infirmary. She will need to rest for quite some time." Draco looked stunned to hear that his mate was something other than just a veela and as he stood up with Paislee's limp body cradled in his arms, he turned to the professor before he left demanding an answer to what had left his mate in this state. "You never answered my question. What is she professor?" Their professor turned to him and smiled before fixing her eyes on his little mate. "She's a Tennin, Mr. Malfoy. I suggest you alert both of your parents of her condition. Tennin's are extremely rare in this day and age and her condition will leave her like this every time she receives a message if she does not learn to control it. I suggest you and your families do your research and treat her with the utmost respect. She is quite literally, a gift from the heavens, Draco and you'd do best to remember it." Draco and the class fell into a shocked and stunned silence before Draco nodded at Blaise and Pansy and took off down the stairs of the tower headed for the infirmary. He could deal with his mate being a Veela/Tennin later after he made sure she was going to be okay. For now, all he really cared about was that his mate who he was going to marry in a little less than three weeks, would pull through and that they could start their happily ever after together. He knew that with Paislee being two different magical species at once, that it would be an uphill battle dealing with the interest that the Wizarding World would have with his mate but he vowed that he would love her and respect her just the same. He wouldn't treat her differently because she was more than just a veela. No. He would love her and care for her because above all she was his. Paislee to him was indeed his gift from the heavens.
