A/N: Hi everyone!

Thank you all soooo much for all of the reviews! You all are so sweet :) I think that my reviewers are the the sweetest and the most helpful :) Thanks to FigrSk8r13, anna0728, Slytherinblood24, AnialaEvangeline, and Partygirl4 for your lovely reviews that I couldn't reply to. Anonymous reviews drive me insane, because you say the sweetest things, and then I can't reply!

So I hope you like this chap! :D


"What am I supposed to do?" I muttered to myself. I was in a sort of awkward position.

Malfoy had called for me a few minutes after he left the room, and as soon as I walked into his room, he grabbed my waist and pulled onto the bed with him, snuggling against me. Apparently, he had been unconscious when he had done that, because he was fast asleep as soon as he hit the bed again.

I tried to get wiggle free, but his arms that were wrapped around my waist were like iron bars. I couldn't move.

"Malfoy! Malfoy!" I hissed, hoping to wake him.

"Granger." he mumbled, still asleep.

"Malfoy! Get up and let go of me!" I yelled. His eyes slowly fluttered open.

"What the hell do you want, Granger?" he snarled, his eyes black.

"What do I want? You to let go of me!" I shouted. He released me immediately.

"Ugh," he said, staring at his arms. "I was hugging a mudblood? I've got to go take a shower."

"Excuse me? I thought I was your mate?" I exclaimed.

"Sadly." he said.

"Then if I'm the only one who can save your life, maybe you should consider being nicer to me!" I said.

"Who'd ever be nice to a mudblood?" he hissed. He walked into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.

I was confused. What was he, a teenage girl on her period? His mood swings made him look like he was.


I headed down to the library. I needed to know more about Part-Veelas. I knew all about Veelas themselves, but not much about Part-Veelas.

I looked around and found a book that didn't have much about Part-Veelas, but it had the information I needed.

Part-Veela behavior: Part-Veelas are known to often have changes of mood and a need to be with their mate, unconscious or not. If they are separated from their mate for a long period of time, part-Veelas will become weak. Part-Veelas are known to be very protective as well as slightly aggressive towards their mates, and will always make sure to keep their mates feeling happy, as their mate's happiness brings them energy.

I was sort of interested. I decided to read more.

Special abilities of a part-Veela: Unlike true Veelas, part-Veelas cannot turn into full bird-like creatures, although there have been cases where a part-Veela develops wings that can come and go at will once they are able to master them. Part-Veelas are also very charming, and can use the charms to sort of force the majority of people to do what the part-veela wants.

Figures.


I took the book with me and towards the Great Hall. It was time for dinner, after all.

"Hey Hermione," said Ginny, as I took a seat across from her next to Ron at the Gryffindor table. "Where were you? I came to your room, and all of your stuff was gone. Did you move rooms?"

"Um, yes. I did. McGonagall asked me to." I said.

"Why?" frowned Harry.

"Well...it's complicated." I said, awkwardly.

"Move, Weasel." sneered a voice. Malfoy shoved his way between Ron and I, took a seat next to me, took my hand in his, and sighed, with an irritated expression.

Harry, Ron and Ginny were frozen with looks of shock on their faces. I didn't know what was more shocking-the fact that Malfoy just took my hand, or that he was sitting at our table.

"What. The. Hell. Are. You. Doing. Here?" spat Harry. Malfoy just glanced at him.

"What. Does. It. Look. Like. I'm. Doing?" mocked Malfoy. Harry scowled.

"Why are you holding my girlfriend's hand, you bastard?" snarled Ron.

"Your girlfriend? I'm not even touching Lavender Brown." smirked Malfoy. Ron just turned red.

"I mean Hermione, idiot! Let go of her!" hissed Ron.

I sighed. "He's charging, Ron." I said.

They all looked at me strangely.

"Charging?" repeated Ginny.

"There's something you might want to know...Apparently, Malfoy's part-Veela, and he says I'm his mate." I said, awkwardly.

Ron blew it. "THAT'S IT! WE'RE DUELING, YOU IDIOT! NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" he screamed, leaping up and drawing his wand. The hall was all buzzing. What were they doing?

"You're on, Weasel." smirked Malfoy, drawing HIS wand. "Granger can do better than you any day, you cheating bastard."

"STUPEFY!" yelled Ron.

"Finite Incantatem!" yelled Malfoy, and Ron's spell dissolved in thin air.

Yells were heard all around the hall. People were making sure to avoid being hit by the spells that were flying all over the place.

"Expelliarmus!" said the two of them, at the same time.

"PROTEGO!" yelled McGonagall, casting a shield in between the two. Their spells rebounded, and both of them were sent flying in the opposite directions.

The hall was loud-everyone was in a panic. McGonagall stepped forward.

"Settle down everyone." she called. "Mr. Weasley, Mr. Malfoy, Miss Granger, I'd like to see you all in my office after dinner. Mr. Malfoy, if necessary, continue sitting by Miss Granger." she said. That caused even more whispers.

"Malfoy? With Granger?"

"Are they dating?"

"Maybe that's why Weasley was so fired up?"

"They're so cute together!"

"They are, aren't they?"

"They were holding hands!"

"What is Malfoy with her for?"

I just pretended I didn't hear any of it. Draco yawned.

"Why aren't you happy? I get energy faster when you are." he said, frowning.

"Because, you've caused a public disturbance about us!" I hissed.

Malfoy just yawned, again, and then suddenly he took my chin, turned my head toward him, and kissed me full on the mouth.

The entire hall was silent. Everyone was staring at us.

I pulled away, and Malfoy licked his lips.

"Oh, don't act like you didn't enjoy that, Granger." he smirked. "You taste good for a mudblood. Like cherries. Not bad."

The hall was silent and then, "SCREW MAGIC! I'M GOING TO BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU, FERRET!"

"BRING IT, WEASEL!"


"Mr. Weasley, Mr. Malfoy, we never use magic against each other students, and we never fist-fight. I'm taking 10 points from Slytherin and Gryffindor."

"But Headmistress! He kissed my girlfriend!" protested Ron.

"That's one of the ways to get energy faster!" retorted Malfoy. "She's a mudblood! I don't kiss her for the enjoyment of it! Although can't say the same for her...I'm here if you want me, Granger." he smirked.

"Mr. Malfoy!" said McGonagall, sharply. "Anyway, both of you will be serving detention for the next week." said McGonagall. "Every evening from 7 to 9."

Ron groaned and Malfoy scowled. Then McGonagall turned to me.

"I'm going to have to request that you stay with Mr. Malfoy even during detention. He'll be quite dependent of you until you accept to be his mate, which I do hope you do." she said.

"What a second. So you weren't joking about the Part-Veela and the mate thing?" asked Ron, staring at us.

"Of course not, Weasel. Are you really that thick? Oh wait..." smirked Malfoy.

"SHE'S MY GIRLFRIEND!" roared Ron. "I'M NOT LETTING HER BECOME YOUR MATE!"

"Uhm, I'm sorry Ronald, but when did my decisions become your decisions?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"Hermione, you can't honestly be telling me that you want to become the ferret's mate." said Ron.

"Of course not! But it's not for you to tell me what to do!" I replied.

"Alright, take your row and do it later." said Malfoy, impatiently. "Headmistress, have you sent words to my parents?" he asked.

"I have, and I received an owl back just a while ago. They will be coming to Hogwarts tomorrow, and I'll have it so that you and Miss Granger are to skip class for tomorrow." nodded McGonagall.

"Thank you." he said, turning around. He smirked at Ron and quickly kissed me again.

"Merlin, aren't cherries delicious?" smirked Malfoy, heading out of the office. Ron's face was as red as his hair.

Malfoy was good.


A/N: That's probably not as seductive as you hoped.

I apologize, and the reason is because I'm trying to keep Draco in character a little, so the best way for me to do that is: Mood Swings. :)

And yes, the next chapter will be: the Malfoys. Excited? I am :) Also, we haven't heard the Slytherin side reaction, so that'll be soon :)

Please review! Suggestions, ideas, whatever you'd like to say :)

I'll see you all in a few days!

Luv,

Cherri
