Chapter 2: Explanations

"I had a very interesting summer. Actually it started normal. I got to the Dursleys, I was locked up, I did chores, and I slept. You know same old same old. Day to day, I continued doing what my cousin, aunt and uncle wanted."

"And this has to do with jerking off in the train how?" Ron questioned

"Just let me talk. So, the night of my birthday approached. As you all know that was the night I received my.."

"Inheritance! Right… so mate… what was it? Mine was just a power boost. Bloody disappointing if you asked me. There could have been some rare talent that…"Ron started

"Ron, let Harry talk." Said Hermione. "What exactly is an Inheritance anyway?"

"What Mione doesn't know? Oh I guess you wouldn't… it's a wizarding thing." Ron yammered.

"On your sixteenth birthday, you gain whatever dormant powers were left in you at birth. Mine were surprising. The night before my sixteenth birthday, I went to my room like always. I stayed up to wish myself Happy Birthday as per custom, and I was suddenly in pain. And it stopped abruptly after too." Harry said.

"Kay so what does that mean?"

"Ron! Let me talk." Harry stated frustrated. "Anyways, I woke up in the morning, groggily and disoriented. I went to the bathroom only to jump back and scream. I looked how I do now… all in one night. So I ran back to my room to figure something out and pop! There was Remus and Sirius. They told me some things that came as a shock to me."

Ron opened his mouth to speak and was quickly covered by Hermione's hand.

Harry continued. "Apparently, I am not as human as I thought."

"Then what the bloody hell are you?" Ron all but shouted.

With that, Hermione spelled Ron's mouth shut.

"Sorry about the Harry, continue." Hermione said cheerfully.

"Well…the meeting was rather strange. It began and ended with Sirius drooling and looking at me strangely. Remus continually whacked him on the head. Apparently, my mother was a rare type of Veela from the north coast of Scotland."

"A veela! But that would make you part veela. Or something of the like and then you would be beautiful and fair haired… and you aren't fair haired and it would mean" Hermione stuttered

"Hermione… do I have to silence you as well?"

"No.." Hermione squeaked.

"Well, not only was my mother a veela, but my father happened to be one as well. Now this was a heavily guarded secret, only told to the closest of friends. Therefore, only Remus, Sirius and Peter knew about them. Since they knew, if someone were to occlumence them, they would find out. So, my parents put a spell on them where they would remember when it was the transformation time, if they were loyal. They added that part when they were suspicious of a spy. So Peter, who isn't loyal, doesn't remember."

"Now, back to me. So Sirius and Remus explained how my parents were both veelas from different tribes, although both from the north. The northern veela are darker haired and are different. They send out the allure like all veelas, and respond much in the same way. On my birthday, I transformed into a veela. This is who I am, and my look reflects it now. For the rest of the summer, I trained my veela powers with Sirius and Remus and learned what it means to be a veela. Now, I accept what I am, and I understand this is my destiny in life."

"Wow.. Harry.. that's wow…" Ron piped up after finding a way to get rid of the spell.

"So what do you mean by your veela powers?" Hermione asked.

"Well, as a veela, I have somewhat of a control over the elements. I can't do anything big but some small things I can do. Umm.. like"

Harry waved his hand and some mini fire people did a jig on his palm. He waved it again and they were gone.

"Wicked." Said Ron.

"My magic also gained a big boost. Plus the whole veela allure.. You know. You felt that before. Used to attract the mate blah blah blah… don't think I will need it so much." Harry mumbled yet they seemed to miss the point.

"Oh so that was what that was…" Ron mumbled.

"Well.. quite a tale.. But Harry, you aren't telling us everything are you? What was that erm… welll…" Hermione tried to say

"You mean what was with me being aroused?" Harry smirked

"Aroused? You were bloody at it solo! And you are acting different… More outspoken." Ron yelled.

"Okay, here.. there is more. Each veela has a mate."

"You dog Harry!" Ron squeezed in.

"For different types of veela, there is a different way of recognizing their mate. I am sure you two are familiar with the type that sense it out by smell, or aura correct?"

"Yes! I read about those. They are very interesting. Sometimes they even…" Hermione began

"Yes, but for me it is different. When I lock eyes with my mate, I feel this burning passion that can only be ended by a release. Through that process, I recognize my mate, and therefore must bond with them."

"So you locked eyes with your mate when closing the door and now you must bond with them?"

"You animal! Harry!" Ron laughed.

"In a way."

"So, Harry, I'm confused." Hermione stated. "Do you see this person's eyes and suddenly love them or what?"

"Well, yes and no. I loved them before this even occurred anyway. A veela's mate is in a sense their soul mate. No one else would be good for them and once a veela matures on their sixteenth birthday, then, they realize whom they loved their entire life and the feelings manifest themselves. Even if I didn't know I loved them before, somewhere, subconsciously I did."

"Well Harry, one lucky girl will have the man of her dreams!" Ron giggled.

Hermione, suddenly remembering something said, "You are the dominant right?"

Ron quickly flicked his head to Harry in horror.

"Of course." Winked Harry.

Ron sighed in relief. "We couldn't have you with some bloke eh Harry? That would be awkward. You would be a she veela."

Giving a slight nod to Ron, Harry lay back in his seat thinking.

"Wow… so then you must know your mate Harry!" Hermione stated excitedly.

"Yeah…" Harry replied.

"Well, who is she mate, who's the lucky girl?" Ron asked.

"Mmmm I think I shall just wait to tell you. My mate should know first. Don't you agree?"

"I" Ron began but Hermione shushed him. "Of course Harry. Tell us when you are ready. I am glad you told us about being a veela."

Harry just smirked in response.

Again, that's it for now!
