Chapter 7
I was staring at Salazar, "I... I need... I need Fleur!" I stood. "DOBBY!" The elf appeared before me,"Hogwarts now!" Before anyone could stop me I was gone, not knowing the viewing spell was still active. Dobby brought me to the kitchen, I kissed his cheek, "Thanks, I'll be back." I ran out and down the corridor to the main hall, inside I saw student but not Fleur. I groaned and ran out side to the gaint carriage. I knocked on the door, the headmistress opened the door. "Please, I just found out I am a Veela, I need to talk to Fleur."
"One moment dear." She gasped and went back inside, seconds later Fleur ran out the door to me.
"Ashley?" She hugged me. "You are Veela?"
"Yes, my real name is Siri Linda Potter-Gryffindor. I was stolen form my family and my powers were blocked." She gasped and looked livid, "My seventeenth birthday is next year, during the summer actually but I... I think...I think I have found my mate." I finished terrorifed.
She gasped, hugged me. "It is okay. Tell me." She walked me over to the edge of the lake, I sat and she hugged me close. "Tell why you are afraid."
"When he talks, he voice makes me weak. When he looks at me, I feel beautiful. When he laughs, I go crazy." I stated, she nodded.
"It is your mate. My grandmother, aunt and father felt that way about their mates, why are you afraid?" Fleur asked softly.
"Because it is Salazar Slytherin!" I answered, she gasped. I began to cry, she hugged me.
"Shh, it is okay. It will be okay." She whispered as she rocked me. "I see your fear, he is an amasing wizard. You feel that he could never want you?" I nodded, she pulled me into her arms. "Okay, I know this must be hard. We will get through this, I will help you."
"How Fleur? He teaches here. He is tutoring my brother, he will always be around. What will I do?" I panicked, "How do I not act? How do I stop myself from acting a fool?"
"I don't know but my father can help. He will help, I can go asked him now." Fleur stated.
"You do not need to princess. I heard." A voice came from behind us, I turned a beautiful man behind us, he sat down beside me. "It will be hard to fight your instinct, are you sure he does not like you?"
"I barely know the man, how can he like me, sir?" I whispered.
"Call me Louis." He smiled, "I can help you but it will be hard and at some times, it will hurt. Is this what you want?"
I looked down at my hands, "I don't want him to feel like he doesn't have a choice." I looked up at him, "I will not force anyone."
Louis smiled, "That is how I felt about my wife, I understand Little Veela." He nodded, "I will help you but you should be fine until your seventeenth birthday."
"This summer." I stated.
"You will come visit us, after this year. I will teach you over the summer. If you get distracted before then, start humming, it will calm yourself down." He stated, I nodded and lend into Fleur. "You are very smart to seek help instead of face it on your own."
"I am not perfect or brillent. I know that I need help, why not come to the only Veela that I know." I smiled, he chuckled. "Just like I went to Viktor to teach me to fly."
"And you are a wonderful student." Viktor's baritone voice stated, I turned and giggled at him. "You have changed."
"Yes, I am Lady Gryffindor. Harry Potter's big sister, Siri Linda Potter-Gryffindor." I stated, he smiled. "So how was christmas?"
"Just as you warned, fangirls sending me luff-potions." He shook his head as he sat behind me. "I heard you are Veela?" I nodded, he looked firece, "I will protect you from boys, who try to be forceful."
I looked shocked and turned to Fleur, who looked ashamed. "Fleur?"
"My date for the ball, didn't like the word no." She whispered, "Cedric saved me."
I hugged her, "I am sorry." I smiled to Viktor, "Thank you." He nodded. "I must return to my brother, I ran out on him, he must be wor... Shit!"
Viktor chuckled, "Language."
I glared playfull at him, "No other word for the occation." Fleur giggled as I repeated his line. He smirked. "I forgot."
Louis smiled, "What?"
"They are using a viewer charm. They have seenand heard everything." I frowned, "Salazar is there."
Viktor chuckled and hugged me, "It is okay, he knews and will have time to adjust. Besides, if he doesn't love you, then he is an... rnynak."
I giggled. "Did you just call Salazar a fool?" he smirked and nodded, I shook my head. "Foolish man, I have to go. I will see you when winter vacation is over. Thank you Fleur and Louis." I kissed Viktor cheek, hugged Fleura and waved to Fleur before running back to the castle.
On my way to the kitchen I ran into two seventh year Slytherins. "Well look what we have here?"
The taller one smirked, "You here we thought are pet had gone home." I blacked up, they laughed.
The fatter one reached to me, I screamed. "FORGE! GRED!"
