Chapter 5: The Morning After

Harry stared at Draco. Then he slowly smiled again. Suddenly, Harry burst out laughing, which caused Draco to look at him incredulously before slowly chuckling and then laughing as well.

After a few minutes the laughter died down and both boys relaxed for a moment to catch their breaths.

"The thing… is Potter…" Draco started. "This situation is so utterly ridiculous I can't help but laugh."

"I know." Harry replied. "The fates enjoy messing with us."

"Since when are you a veela anyway Potter?" Draco asked.

"I would have to say, since this summer." Harry replied.

Draco rolled his eyes. "Apparently."

"Well, I know there is this veela deep down love of the soul mate or whatever, but…"

"Yeah. I get it." Draco replied. "It's the same with me too."

"Yeah. I mean I know I well, love you, I guess deep down or something, but it isn't there right now."

"Exactly." Draco said. "It's like we know we are going to be together in the end, but right now, we have no feelings for each other that are apparent."

"Yeah, I know I love you. I just don't feel it now."

"Right. So, what does that mean?"

"I don't know." Harry said.

"At least I am back to normal now. No more bloody submissiveness right now thank god."

"Draco, you know that is only before we bond. Well, and at certain moments of course."

"Yeah, if I get too threatened or whatever I will… wait, did you call me Draco?"

"Well, I kind of assumed since we are mates and just bonded I could call you your first name. And stop calling me Potter."

"Fine, Harrrry…." Draco purred.

Harry rolled his eyes and swatted at Draco playfully. Draco rolled over and lay on his stomach.

"So what do Weasel and the Mudblood have to say about all this?"

"Number one, it is Weasley and Granger if you are going to talk about them. Or it could be Ron and Hermione. They only know I am a veela looking for my mate. They have no clue about you Draco. You don't have to worry. What about your friends?"

Draco snorted. "Like I tell them anything."

"Of course." Harry replied.

"Anyways…"

"Okay. So about our relationship…" Harry said.

"I am not jumping into this. Just because I know we will end up together in the future doesn't mean I am going to start dating you right now. Right now, I still feel the animosity from our rivalry you know."

"Exactly. It doesn't feel like anything changed from the last year."

"So why should it have to." Draco started. "I say we don't change anything. It was fine before. If at some point I suddenly decide or realize my love for you, then whatever. Right now, I want to continue on my schooling."

"Yes, distractions would probably be bad right now. School is important and all that."

"Plus my father would be oh so happy if he found out."

"Fine." Harry said. "So, we act as usual and keep the fact that we are mates secret?"

"Agreed." Draco replied and both boys shook hands on it.

Both boys looked around and thought for a moment. Would pretending they never bonded work or would it come back to haunt them later. Was it possible for veelas to just ignore their mate if they felt nothing towards them?

"But we will be civil to each other okay? If we are together for eternity, let's stop fighting."

"Are you kidding me Harry? I can't let my reputation go. Okay, we shall be civil in private."

Rolling his eyes Harry agreed. "Fine, lets just tone down the fights as much as we can without it being noticeable."

"Okay."

The two boys sat in silence again.

Draco suddenly got up and Harry shot him a questioning glance.

"I'm going to shower," Draco said and then added sarcastically, "If that's alright with you?"

Harry blushed and nodded.

Draco smirked and headed to the bathroom. When he reached the door back, he turned and looked at Harry.

"By the way, if you get me pregnant Harry, we are getting married."

Closing the door to the bathroom, Draco missed Harry's face flush a bright red

The day passed on and Harry relaxed in his new rooms. Draco had gone to the shower and then went on to explore the rooms.

Harry sat at his desk and read a book on veelas, that he had previously started to read. It still amazed him about being a veela and what that entails.

Later, when Harry was feeling hungry, he made his way to the kitchen. There he found a hilarious sight.

Draco Malfoy was standing in the kitchen, covered in flour, apparently trying to cook. Without any control, Harry burst out laughing.

Draco spun around and looked at Harry menacingly.

"What are you looking at Potter?" Draco sneered.

Harry couldn't answer since he was laughing so hard. He finally managed, "You…"

"You know, I can cook some things." Draco replied.

Harry raised his eyebrow. "Of course you can." Harry laughed.

Draco frowned. "Well I was hungry. What would you suggest? I am not leaving these rooms now. I am comfortable and I don't want to see anyone right now."

"Well… if you needed help cooking you could have asked me. I do cook for my ehh family. Plus, we are at Hogwarts Draco. I would have called a house elf."

"Of course you… oh. I forgot about that." Draco stuttered.

Harry looked up and started laughing again.

Draco sat dejectedly on the floor.

"I have no idea how this is going to work Potter. Oh why don't we just have a great blast in lovey dovey land and bake cakes and have picnics and moonlight broom rides."

At this Harry could help it no longer. He was laughing so hard he was clutching his stomach.

Getting upset, Draco got up and took a running leap and tackled Harry to the ground.

"Oomph!" Harry cried suddenly stopping laughing.

Draco started punching and hitting Harry wherever he could.

Harry tried to defend himself as best as he could yet was having little luck.

"Why is it you Potter? I can't believe this stupid situation that the fates are playing with! These are our lives! Can't I have some peace?" Draco yelled.

Harry was silent yet he managed to flip Draco over and pin him to the floor.

Draco started to cry silently all the while cursing his submissive genes.

"Draco. Listen. I know this was not our choices but there is nothing we can do. In the end I am sure we will be happy. I know it doesn't look too good now… but if we give it time it shall be good. "

Draco slowly stopped crying. " I know. It's just that we have no control over our lives. I just wish I could have some say in this."

"I know. It's difficult."

Draco rolled his eyes. "Whatever. I'm okay now. Just… Just don't mention this to anyone."

"I know. We agreed on that."

"Not that. I mean yes that but also…that well. This. What just happened?"

"Don't worry Draco. I wont."

"And for god's sake don't call me Draco in public."

With this Harry smiled and let Draco head off to their room.

The day passed smoothly and both boys relaxed in their new dorms and got used to the others company. They had minimal contact and acted civilly. They both had decided that at the end of the day they were going to visit their common rooms.

It would be a big step as the Slytherins, while not asking exactly where Draco had been, would be suspicious and try to figure it out anyway. Draco was going to use the excuse that his father got him his own room.

For Harry, he knew he would be hounded by Ron and Hermione who want to know who his mate is yet he agreed with Draco to keep it a secret so he would not tell them. Harry would have a great deal of questioning to go through.

As evening approached, both boys dined together and then got ready to leave.

Harry grabbed his bag and put his book aside that he was reading.

Draco took a few deep breaths.

Then, Draco left to the Slytherin common room.

Harry waited five minutes for no suspicion and then headed to the Gryffindor Common room.

As both boys left, Harry's book lay open and forgotten on his desk. A passage stuck out to the eye and if the boys were to have seen it, it would have saved them many problems.

Veelas, while being mysterious creatures, are strongly dependant on their mates. Once they have discovered their mates, they will find a strong pull to bond with them. Once bonding is completed, the mates are attached, physically and mentally. They will not feel this connection in the beginning, which causes some strife to newly, mated veela.

Newly mated veela need to be in contact and accepting the bond at all times. They must continue to pursue the relationship they have formed or their bodies will force them to. If veelas deny or ignore their bond for even a short amount of time, certain things will occur. The most common thing is that mates will share their senses. This includes:

Touch (which includes bodily pains)

Taste

Smell

Hearing

Sight

While this does not seem like a big deal, it forces mates to become closer and accept the bond, as it brings the pair closer. Accepting the bond and one's mate is essential to the lives of veela.

Sorry for this being out so late. I was away all summer but now I am back! Please review because it makes me happy!
