Hermione's point of view.

I walked into the kitchen to find Draco Malfoy. "What are you doing here Malfoy!" I demanded. "I-It's kind of a long story actually." He replied stuttering. "Hermione dear why don't you and Draco here go into the living room and sort this whole thing out." Mrs. Weasley asked her voice edged with concern. "H-Granger. Nice earrings. I really must be going. Good day." he rambled backpedaling and trying to edge his way to the back door. "Hermione...?" called Lupin's voice. "Oh for the love of Merlin. Hermione could you come back here for a moment?" I nodded confused following his instructions. To my amazement Malfoy's eyes turned pure black. 'Wolf.' He growled in a much lower voice. "Right. Sorry." "Professor Lupin. What is going on?" I asked starting to get a little scared. 'You scared mate. Come here mate. Lucus will make you feel better.' "W-What! Go away Draco!" I spluttered outraged. "Hermione do what he says. Please?" "But Professor?!" 'It's ok. Lucus won't hurt you. Promise. Never hurt you.' This strange version of Draco crept closer to me. "Go away Malfoy!" 'Mate does not understand. Lucus is not Draco. That is host's name.' He had finally made it over to me wrapping me in his arms. "Off! Get off of me!" I shrieked. 'Relax my Hermione. Don't be angry with me. We only want what is best for you.' "Lucus please let go of Hermione. You are alarming her." Professor Lupin said trying to get not Draco's attention. 'Not until she calms down wolf. You are ok mate.' "Professor why is Draco like this?" I asked struggling against Draco's arms. "That is not Draco although he looks like it. Think Hermione what type of magical being has black eyes?" I thought on it confused at my only conclusion. "Veelas. But Draco is not a girl. I don't understand." 'Hermione calm down and Lucus will tell you. Please mate?' "Fine." I huffed stopping my struggle. 'Good mate.' Not Draco purred in my ear. "My name is Hermione Granger. Granger to you." Not Draco cocked his head confused. 'Mate does not want me to call her this?' "No." 'Only if Granger calls me Lucus.' "Fine Lucus." Lucus gave me an exuberant smile. Some how his smile made me feel calm and happy. His smile widened, 'Good Granger. My Granger.' "Wait a minute Lucus I am not your Granger." 'Lucus does not understand.' Before I could answer that I only belonged to myself Professor Lupin cut me off. "She has not said so yet. You should explain." I squeaked when Lucus scooped me up in his arms. He followed a sighing Professor Lupin into the living room. Walking over to the couch he sat down me still in his arms. "Lucus please let go of Miss. Granger." 'No.' he huffed pulling me even closer to him. To my surprise my view of the room was blocked by a black veil. No not a veil feathers. "What in Merlin?" I wondered out loud. 'Granger like?' "What are these?" 'Wings.' "But there black. Where did they come from?" 'Back.' "You did not have them before. Why did they appear now?" 'Protect you from Wolf. Calm you down to.' "You can't be serious." 'Lucus is very glad to finally hold you. Veela has been locked inside host until now. Veela's Draco hurt you. This is why you hate us. Lucus knows. Lucus has seem this. Lucus is sorry.' I was dumbfounded. "You mean this?" "I do Granger. Lucus is right. I really do regret how I have acted. I was being stupid, arrogant. A real foul, evil, loathsome, little cockroach. Thank you for getting me off my high hippogriff." "M-Draco?" I gasped shocked. "Hermione. Will you give me a chance to be your protector? Will you let me prove my worth?" "I-it will take me some time Draco." "'We understand'".
