Title : The Veela Fic

Chapter Two: the Discovery

"A problem?" Snape asked as Draco walked into his chambers.

"I think I'm a veela," Draco said sitting down on one of the chairs. "A veela? Why do you think you're a veela ?"

Draco told him about his dream. "Well, if you are a veela, you will have to find your mate and soon," Snape told him, " we need to go see Dumbledore."

Reaching the Gargoyle, Snape gave the password "Smores." They heard Lucius's voice as they walked towards the study.

Why is father here? thought Draco. Though he didn't say anything, Snape could tell what he was thinking. Why is Lucius here? Snape also wondered.

"Father, what are you doing here?" Draco asked, suddenly bursting into the study. "Draco," Lucius scowled automatically. "It's all right, Lucius. I believe Draco may be here for the same reason you are," Albus Dumbledore said, eye twinkling madly. (I like Albus, but what is it with those eyes?)

"Albus, we have a problem," said Snape from behind Draco. "Oh, I wouldn't say that," Albus said, "lemon drop?" "No, thank you," all three replied. "It's true though that finding your mates may be difficult, particually in a school this size."Albus continued.

"You're a veela too?" Draco asked his father, "but mother wasn't your mate." "No, she wasn't. I always thought that though I had veela blood, I wasn't a veela. I 've felt the call or the need for a mate, until now," Lucius said.

"But father that means.." "That my mate just turned 17, I know," Lucius finished for him. "How can we find our mates?"Draco asked. "By their scent," Snape answered, " once you find her, you will have to woo her. Veela attraction doesn't work on a mate because she has to want to be your mate."

"Well, we can set up a family suite for you until you find your mates. Then, I'm afraid, you are on your own," Dumbledore said.

Walking back from Dumbledore's study, the three (Snape, Lucius and Draco) made their way to the dungons. Under a see- me - not spell, they were unnoticed by the students heading towards the Great Hall. Suddenly, Draco stopped.

"What is it, son?" his father asked. "She's here,father, she's here!" Draco said sniffing the air. "Your mate?" Lucius asked. Draco didn't answer. Instead, he ran after that wonderful scent.

Skidding to a stop, Draco's eyes grew wide. In front of him, between her two best friends, was Hermione Granger.
