I managed to get up with little trouble although my plans to go flying with Harry were pushed back a little. I was still a little wobbly, instead we opted to take a walk around the lake. What we did didn't matter as long as were together.

Harry's emotional turmoil was pouring off him as we rounded the lake for the second time. I didn't need my Veela to feel it. It was a little suffocating to feel what Harry was going through. He blamed everything on himself. It was a moment of self doubt. Nothing more. I knew Harry wanted to be with me. Yes, he could have dealt with it better. Approached the situation differently. I stopped Harry in front a tree, wanting a little shade and needing to stop, hoping to calm my mate's fears. His emotions oozed out of every pore. All the sadness and guilt, started to weigh on me, conflicting with my own feelings. I tried to exude a calming, peaceful state of mind. I hoped Harry felt it. His guilt might be too great at the moment.

I faced Harry taking both his hands in mine. I gave them a gentle squeeze. My Veela helped me put all my unspoken feelings in to our shared link, sending them to Harry. He had to feel the connection through our connected hands. At least I prayed he did. I was doing my best to let him know without telling him it was okay and using the bond that was between mates. Harry and I seemed to have a strong bond.

"You don't have to be upset about anything I hope you know." Harry looked at me sharply, like I was crazy.

"Draco, I put you danger. It was one thing when you pushed me away. Yes, it hurt but it didn't put me in physical danger. I did that to you. I'm finding it very hard to forgive myself."

I carefully extracted one of my hands from Harry's, bringing it up to cup Harry's face. "Shhh…there's nothing to worry about. I'm fine. It would take more than that to take me down and for me to let you go. I did have a moment before I blacked out when I thought it would best if we ended things. That's not an option." I held up my hand when Harry tried to protest. "And before you say anything it's not because I have to. I want to be with you and I need to be. It's your choice if you want to be involved with my parents but you don't have to hide from me."

Harry pondered my words for a while. I took the opportunity to enjoy being close to my mate. Too long. It had been too long since I been this close to him without being ill. I stepped closer to Harry bringing our bodies flush together as I hugged him fiercely. No more doubts. Harry was mine and I was his. I intended to leave a mark right then. I nuzzled Harry's neck as he wrapped his arms around me. I breathed in his scent. My Veela purred in pleasure as I ran my tongue along the length of Harry's neck. A hunger built in my lower belly the longer I teased and nipped at Harry's neck. He tasted delicious. Harry's head fell back as I nibbled on a particularly sensitive part of his neck, just below his ear. My mate made a symphony of noises as I pulled away, whimpering at the loss. To be honest I was a little light-headed from the lack of blood in my brain. Harry drove me crazy as I kissed and laved at his neck. I studied my handy work, pleased with the love bite I had left.

Harry looked at me blearily, a small smile adorning his face. "Now you're marked as mine," I said a sudden possessiveness pulling in my belly.

Harry chuckled deeply. "I've always been yours."

I crossed my arms over my chest, pouting. "Now everyone will know it."

"You are so silly sometimes," Harry said as he came close to our breath intermingling. A rush of heat raced through my body as Harry gently kissed me. He ran his hands over the sides of my body, making me ache with need. The kiss turned from gentle to passionate as Harry tugged me close, plundering my mouth. I let him take all he needed. All the hurt and worry from the past week was poured in to the kiss, melting away in a deeper connection between Harry and I. The kiss tapered off in to chaste kisses. I leaned my forehead against Harry's as we tried to catch our breath. Never imagined that happening so soon. I was happy it did, hopefully it showed Harry all was forgiven. He pulled away after a few moments. Maybe not so much. I gripped his hand, sat down, pulling him down with me.

Harry plucked at the grass, sending it flying on the small breeze that blew his messy Harry all around. "I'll go with you to visit your parents during Christmas break."

My whole body hummed with anticipation, not sure what to do. I glanced at Harry gazing up at the clouds. "Are you sure? You don't have to. I will understand. I mean it."

My mate nodded, he turned to me, a firm set to his jaw. "We are not going to be separated during our first Christmas together and I think I need to give them a second chance. I don't want to make things awkward between you and your parents besides judging from your mom's letter I think I might like her a lot."

I tackled Harry to the ground, kissing him all over his face. He laughed as he wrapped his arms around me when I was done. I lay next to Harry my head on his chest, ear pressed over his heart. I heard the rhythmic thump, thump of his heart. It was very soothing. Harry played with my hair, running his fingers occasionally over my nape, sending shivers all over my body.

I held him tightly, noticing for the first time that my Veela was silent. It was content with the way things were progressing. I took that as a good sign. "Thank you," I whispered to Harry as the afternoon sun, shone through the little gaps in the leaves, little streams of light pouring on me and Harry.

"You don't have to thank me. I want to do this."

I lifted my head a little, studying Harry. His face was relaxed as smiled at me. I believed him. Whatever happened earlier was put behind us as we moved on. Harry was coming to the Malfoy Manor for Christmas. That was too far away. I gulped, hoping that when Harry and father were in the same room they didn't attack each other or something. No matter, mother would make sure nothing ruined the festive mood.

Harry and I lay on the grass for rest of the afternoon. Both lost in our own thoughts. I prayed that Harry didn't change his mind in the upcoming weeks to spend Christmas with my family. I wanted him to try to get to know my parents at least once without all the Death Eater, Voldemort stuff. I think once he got to know them he'd get along with them. At least mother. She was simply wonderful. Only time would tell and right then I'd use my time enjoying being with my mate.

Yay! Chapter 21 is done

Chapter 22 will be posted soon
